An independent group in Washington held a conference to draft a resolution for a Senate investigation into the power lobby. Senator Walsh of Montana said the lobby is the largest seen in his years in Washington as backers of public utilities reportedly used money and influence to defeat the Walsh resolution. The group aims to introduce the resolution next week directing a special Senate committee to probe such influence. The Senate voted 26 to 31 to have the Federal Trade Commission investigate public utilities instead, and the FTC will proceed with the amended Walsh resolution upon announcement after a commission meeting.
