Mitchell tackles Roosevelt era department amid Leviathan dispute
E Y Mitchell, removed as assistant secretary of commerce, accuses the department of being controlled by special interests. He attacks the United States Lines contract to lay up the Leviathan, claims it benefited prominent figures, and says the action followed President Roosevelt’s demand for his resignation. He cites subsidies and waivers and criticizes the air commerce bureau and steamboat inspection service. He refused RFC ties, saying he was drafted for his current post.
