Senators Disagree On Anti-Trust Inquiry Benefits
Senators spar over a proposed anti trust probe funded by 500000 dollars.

A three member panel from senate and house would work with federal agencies to draft non political legislative reforms ending monopolistic control. The panel would study causes, effects on trade and employment, and tax and policy impacts under 1939 session plans.
