Williams in Defense Reviews His Administration Before Senate
Comptroller of the Currency John Skelton Williams testified before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee defending his administration and denying Wade H Cooper’s charges of misconduct. He challenged Cooper’s loan practices and alleged misdeeds, asserting Cooper and relatives engaged in risky interlaced loans. Williams cited a $40,000 Bureau of National Literature and Arts bond sale to First National Bank of Waycross and disputed related notes as punk. He pledged to continue his testimony and rebut all accusations, asserting his independence since leaving the railroad administration.
