Washington March 12 special committee hearings resume as Lilley argues the Electric Boat and Holland companies illegally influenced legislation. He claims profits above 1 million dollars from submarine construction and demands witnesses from Navy officials, executives, and lawyers to prove improper methods and lack of competition.
