Watson's Story True Emory Says Tariff Men Employed Him
The two Senate lobby probes resume Monday with testimony on the National Association of Manufacturers and allied groups. Emery testified that former Representative James F Watson of Indiana was employed by the Tariff Commission Association, not the NAM or the industrial council, and two $500 checks to Watson were shown in evidence. Senator Walsh questioned the contradictions as Emery claimed the payments were a bookkeeping expedient. The NAM reportedly contributed to the tariff association's aims via the former representative. Representative Roddenberry of Georgia resigned from the House lobby committee and Clark named Scott Ferris to fill the vacancy.
