Ballinger Criticized as Irresolute in Senate Probe
Attorney Louis Brandeis condemned Secretary Ballinger before the committee examining the Alaska coal land affair. He argued Ballinger yielded to pressure from Glavis and Cunningham claimants, violating duty to the people and showing marked ethical missteps after becoming secretary. Brandeis praised Glavis and Kerby while labeling Ballinger strangely unethical and too influenced by powerful interests.
