Plea for Monticello Wilson Endorses Plan
Mrs. Martin W. Littleton urged endorsement of government seizure of Monticello, Jefferson’s home, presenting 1000 letters from prominent figures, including Gov. Woodrow Wilson. Judge James Betk supported eminent domain to obtain Monticello, as in Gettysburg, with ownership expected to rest with Rep. Jefferson Levy unless government purchases. The hearing asked a committee to decide if taken by private purchase or public condemnation, with Levy unlikely to resist the people’s request.

Clements Opposes New Bills On Rail Regulation
Judson Clements of the Interstate Commerce Commission told the House committee that it is better that a few shippers suffer injustices than overturn the railroad regulatory framework through new legislation. He opposed bills granting superior courts the power to review all orders and questions of fact including negative rulings by the commission. Clements argued the commission already occupies a nearly Supreme Court-like position in handling negative decision appeals.
