Senators Near-Sighted Lobby Claims Stir Hearing
Washington June 20. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania testifies after 16 years in Congress that he has never seen an improper influence attempt in either chamber. Other senators largely deny lobby influence in the tariff bill inquiry, while some say no lobby exists in the sense of organized influence. The hearings will probe whether lobbying operates from outside the halls of Congress and whether President Wilson endorses or fosters such activities. Senator Kenyon voices concern over public suspicion in the investigation and the possible breadth of lobbying beyond formal contacts.
