Pauley Details Oil Talks With Hannegan and Senate Scrutiny
Edwin W. Pauley testified before the Senate naval committee that no Postmaster General Hannegan or other government official shares in his oil and financial holdings. He described a casual discussion about a California oil investment with Hannegan that did not materialize as the well direction shifted. Tobey pressed Pauley on whether officials were offered investments. Pauley said no others were named. The exchange followed Senate confirmation of George E. Allen to the RFC amid debate over Pauley and Vardaman’s involvement in Truman appointments.
