Caudle Says Tom Clark Ordered Case Dropped
Caudle testified to Congress that a price violation charge and a $297,991 income tax case against lumberman T. C. Coxe were started but not prosecuted. He said Tom Clark ordered the price case dropped after a meeting with Clyde Hoey, Coxe’s private attorney and future senator. Hoey stated he found no grounds for prosecution and that the civil action by the OPA followed. Clark later became attorney general. Hoey denied any wrongdoing and noted his private representation of Coxe.
