CONCORD, N. C., MONDAY. FEBRUARY 1, 1926
! Report of Senator Walsh Is
Made to Judiciary Com
mittee of Seriate, Follow
ing Recent Inquiry.
DOUBT AROUSED
SAYS SENATOR
Who Thinks Inquiry Will
Show Whether or Koti!
Department of Justice
. Has Done Duty In Case.
Washington, Feb. 1. —(-4 s ) —Senate
investigation of the Aluminum Com
pany of America in which Secretary
Mellon is a large stockholder is rec- !
crhmended in a report submitted today j
to tiie Judiciary Committee by Sena
tor Walsh, Democrat, of Montana. I
This proposal is made, the senator}
says, because of “doubts aroused asl
to the vigor and good faith of the
Department of Justice’’ In the conduct {
of its inquiry to establish whether j
the aluminum company has violated a j
federal court consent decree entered j
against it in 1912.
Besides recommending what would
be a third government . investigation
of the Mellon company within four
years. Senator Walsh asked Ihat the
Senate direct the Federal Trade Com
mission to turn over to it all of the
evidence furnished by the aluminum
concern, aud which the commission
withheld from the Justice Department
on the grounds that it is “confiden
tial.”
Describing this action of the com
mission as “senseless,” Senator Walsh
takes the position that since the Sen
ate ordered the commission to make
the investigation in the first instance,
it can compel production of the evi
dence.
.Attorney General Sargent and oth
er officials of the Justice Department
are assailed sharply by Senator Walsh
for the manner in which the ihquiry
was prosecuted after the trade.com
mission had reported to the depart
ment in October, 1924, that the Alum
inum Company had violated the con
sent decree.
Calling attention that evidence ad
duced at the Judiciary Committee
bearing on the subject showed ttatt
months .elapsed before Rny move waW 1
made. the senator declares that ■‘had
the department moved with celerity it
would have obtained the “confiden
tial” evidence subsquently withheld
from it. .
The report emphasizes that while an
agent of the department was finding
from a field inquiry that the alumi
num industry was well satisfied with
existing conditions, an investigator of
the trade commission found much com
plaint against the Aluminum Com
pany of America, and obtained evi
dence on which the commission is
sued a complaint last summer. This
complaint is to be brought to trial on
February 15th.
Washington, Feb. 1. — UP) —With
Senate judiciary committee consider
ing a proposal for congressional in
quiry into the affairs of the Alumi
num Company of America in which
Secretary Mellon is interested, At
ltorney General Sargent today refused
ta give the Senate an opinion as to
tbfl right of Federal Trade oCm
raiagion to withhold evidence in its
possession.
Hasing hiR refusal on a policy
which, he said, had obtained “for
more than a century,” the attorney
general advised the Senate in a letter
that he could find no authority for
the rendering of formal opinions on
points of law at the request of either
house of Congress. Mr. Sargent’s
letter added, however, that he had
no objection to giving informal ex
pression of his views on the question.
He then said it was his unofficial
opinion that the refusal of the Fed
eral Trade Commission to turn over
the evidence it had gathered “cannot
now under existing laws be remedied
by any proceedings brought about by
the attorney general.”
Blind Men in London Feel Loss Be
cause of Few Fogs.
London, Feb. I.— UP) —Blind men
who act as guides to pedestrians w r hen
dense fogs settle over London have
been complaining because of lack of
“business” due to this winter’s
weather, which has been exceptional
ly clear and cold.
Thousands of persons frequently be
come lost in the fogs, even within a
block or so of their homes or offices.
It is on such occasions that the blind
men, who find their way by “feel” and
instinct, take up their stands at
prominent corners and offer their ser
vices as guides.
It has been estimated that a real
fbg here entails a loss of approxi
mately 350,000 pounds to business in
less than 24 hours.

Pathologist. Brings New Charge
Against “Petting.”
Philadelphia, Feb_- 1. — UP) —A new
charge against “petting parties” has
been brought by Dr. Allan J. Snr.th,
profesor of pathology at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. .
These occasions, he contends, prob
ably are one of the important meth
ods of spreading pyorrhea, particular
ly the type known as “trench mouth,”
introduced during tke war and becom
, ing an increasing cause of infection.
Dr. Smith’s statements were based
upon research conducted by his as
sociate. Dr. M. T. Barrette, instruct
or in oral pathology, at the # university.
Dr. Barrett said that while before the
war bacterial infection caused ‘not
more than 3 or 4 per cent, of the py
orrheal infections, at present at least
25 per cent, is due td the germ caus
ing “trench mouth.”
! A small percentage of pyorrhea also
is caused by another type of bacteria,
known as streptoccoccus vicente, but
the majority of it still is caused by a
kind of amoeba, he said.
Dr. Smith and Dr. Barrett agreed
that- pyorrheal conditions of the
mouth could be removed through
j proper treatment. -
