Lilley Pushes House Probe Into Electric Boat Co
Washington Feb 21 A Connecticut representative Lilley offered a resolution for a five member special committee to investigate the Electric Boat Co of New Jersey and its Holland Boat Co predecessors regarding methods used to influence past and proposed legislation before Congress. The panel could compel witnesses and report findings to the House. The move stems from Naval Affairs Committee resistance to Roosevelt naval plans. The resolution was referred to Rules. Lilley says a thorough investigation is needed into how Octopus submarine contracts were steered, criticizing the Era of the Vermont and arguing for a square deal without backing any single design. He noted President Roosevelt consulted him and then supported a constrained program, while Metcalf’s submarine plan failed and the Octopus won the bid. He urges a NY Hughes‑style inquiry to reveal the process and ensure fair competition.
