Daniels Testifies on Contempt Probe Over Slattery Resignation Vote
Daniels testified before an agriculture subcommittee about an unsuccessful effort by the Roosevelt administration to persuade Rural Electrification Administration chief Harry E. Slattery to resign. He said Roosevelt considered sending Slattery overseas to study European power developments and that former Senator George Norris was approached but declined. Daniels described meeting Slattery in July and urged him to accept another government post. The panel planned an executive session to decide whether to drop the contempt citation.
