Oil case questions intercession and matters unclear
The testimony covers possible intercession by a single operator, with no clear visit to Matagorda Island or party information from stockholders. Disposition reports for several cases suggest Channel Transport and Marketing Co faces similar scrutiny as other defendants. Some oil men call the 17500 payment a bargain against alleged profits. The House Ways and Means inquiry did not probe Elliott’s taxes, the public interest requiring a thorough, possibly nonpublic, review. Information disclosed shows no direct reward to Elliott for intervention.
