Interior Secretary Harold Ickes travels to Chicago to testify in disbarment proceedings against C W Larsen and J M Malmin. Ickes accuses the defendants of blackmail to secure government posts for Malmin and Larsen, while the men deny the charges. The grievance committee of the Chicago Bar Association hears the case. The House votes 206 to 144 to pass the Kerr tobacco bill giving the AAA regulatory power, sending it to the Senate amid GOP protests. The House also approves the reciprocal tariff bill for the President’s signature.
