Fight to a Finish for Ex-Representative Slaughter Indicted
Washington reports former Missouri Democrat Roger C. Slaughter was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of attempting to register as a lobbyist for grain interests and accepting over 42 500 for lobbying services. The 43 year old ex congressman asserts political motivation and vows to fight the case, noting contracts exclude lobbying. Indictment covers October 1947 to September 1948 involving the International wheat agreement and commodity trading measures. The action follows long scrutiny tied to Truman era politics and Slaughter’s earlier opposition to administration proposals.

Speculators and grain interests clash over lobbying act
Slaughter says he represents grain interests and need not register under the 1946 lobbying act. The act requires paid lobbyists to register and file quarterly financial disclosures with penalties up to 85000 fine and one year in prison. Two cases challenge the act: a civil suit by the National Association of Manufacturers seeking to block enforcement and criminal indictments against state commissioners, a broker, and two commissions. A ruling on dismissals is not expected before mid-December.
