Senate Acts to Hire Experts for Tariff Probes
Washington May 18 Senator Aldrich announced a Finance Committee resolution empowering the committee to secure executive department experts and other assistants for tariff investigations. The plan aims to draft information for revising U S customs laws and to report on equitable handling of farm and other U S products abroad. It may avoid a tariff commission and push for general tariff legislation next session. The measure, drafted by Senator Beveridge, seeks to employ government specialists with support from industry leaders James W. Van Cleave and H B Miles.
