Free Hail Racket Costs Taxpayers Very Large Sums Congressman Ralph Gwinn Of New York Charged Willi Hein^ Leader The ae'ivities of Republican Representative Ralph Gwinn of New Yolk illustrate the way in which many GOP Congressmen cooperate closely with special in terest lobbies. Congressman Gwjnn was ie scribed by the “Louisville Cour ier Journal" as an integeral part of an extremt* right-wing lobby,” The active agency of this lobby is the Committee for Constitu tional Government. Representative Gwinn’s chief service to the CCG is his Con gressional frank, through which the lobby is able to get much of its material printed cheaply and mailed free. The New York Con-j gressman also inserts into the Congressional Record large amounts of anti-administration material, which then becomes el igible for free mailing. The Committe for Constitution al Government is headed by Ed ward A. Kumely, who during World War One acted as a Ger man propagandist and, after the war, was found guilty and sent to jail on charges of violating the Trading with the Enemy Act. He was pardoned by President Cool idge. The CCG has been a valuable ally of many other big lobbies. When the real estate lobby sought decontrol of rents, the CCG took part m the campaign. When a, na tional health program was pro posed, the CCG fought it along side the anti-health lobby. It has long been a supporter of the Na tional Association of Manufactur ers in the prove to have corporate and high bracket individual in come taxes lowered. Representative Wright Patman,
