Senate subcommittee exposes sugar lobby press influence
In Washington on June 18 the senate subcommittee warned of a sweeping sugar lobby plot using newspapers and associations to sway public opinion. Letters from C C Hamlin of Michigan Beet Sugar Co are cited as showing support from the Associated Press and other groups to defeat free sugar policy. The probe highlights wealth backing and a nationwide campaign to influence lawmakers. In Baker Oregon the Miller restaurant fire destroyed the building. Mrs H Miller and Mrs Amelia Straub were rescued by firemen along with a baby. Walter Fernald aided in safety efforts. The fire started in the kitchen.
