Senate Considers Inquiry Into Aluminum Co. of America
Senate judiciary committee weighs a plan for congressional inquiry into the Aluminum Company of America in which Secretary Mellon is a major stockholder. Senator Walsh argues for direct federal action and access to evidence withheld by the Federal Trade Commission, criticizing the Justice Department’s handling of the case and urging the Senate to compel disclosure. The dispute centers on a 1912 consent decree and the FTC’s decision to keep certain materials confidential.
