Hurley Named as Utility Aide in Washington Hearings
In Washington on July 30 the Associated Glass and Electric system faced opposition to its utility holding company bill with total expenditures estimated at 791000, including a 25000 fee to Patrick J Hurley, Hoover era secretary of war. Senate lobby panel heard the figures drawn from system records and investigators notes. Senator Schwellenbach pressed the 25000 payment, denying it was Hurley's brother. O E Wasser testified the system could face regulation outrage if such sums existed. Carl Estes accused the committee of mudslinging over a rate case linked to Texas utilities, claiming a 200 check was stolen from his hotel, while committee investigators denied any such insinuations.
