Senate panel rejects ouster bid in Overton hearing
In New Orleans hearings the sub committee found no basis for ousting Senator Overton. He denied election fraud and said his largest majorities came from parishes without dummy candidates. Witnesses cited welfare funds and Roosevelt campaign deficits, while Overton asserted funds were not used in his campaign. The panel adjourned with no action, and Holland remained as investigator pending full committee review.
