Georgia Governor Charges Federal Snooping Amid Indictments
Governor E D Rivers charged federal snooping at the Georgia capitol as indictments were handed up in Rome against Dr Hiram W Evans and John W Greer Jr for mail fraud and conspiracy to restrain trade. Three asphalt firms Shell Oil American Bitumals and Emulsified Asphalt Refining were named in a bid rigging scheme involving road department contracts worth about 456 427 dollars. Greer denied the charge saying the indictment has no foundation. Evans said federal surveillance will stop.
