White House probe topic prompts Senate inquiry
A Senate committee questioned a White House conference about the Aluminum Company of America investigation. Donavan said the department issued a statement after seeing a newspaper ad and defended the inquiry as thorough and honest. Senator Walsh pressed Mellon ties while Donavan asserted rigorous pursuit beyond partisan lines. Nye joined the Senate as a Republican progressive and was assigned a Democratic desk. A bill to allow the president to seize anthracite mines was introduced, and Frank Lowden urged using surplus crops to aid society during deficit years.
