Lobbying Probe To Get Started
Washington December 5 Six big groups may be the initial targets of a special house committee preparing to investigate lobbying. Rep Buchanan head of the panel says the course may be guided by a library of congress report on lobbying. The report cites fields such as tariff real estate and oleomargarine battles plus agriculture and dairy interests. It notes 1948 lobbying outlays exceeding 3.5 million dollars, with major spending by displaced persons legislation and oleomargarine tax repeal aims. The pay lobby is not named in the report. Buchanan would not commit to early focus on it. The committee gained early credibility as a strong pressure group during 1949.
