the country.
Senator Sutherland OF Utah. a conser-
yativc. expressed the opinion that when
the facts we're disclosed II would be un-
doubt, dly found that some one was vio-
lating the law and should be prosecuted.
Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska as
serted that ~gasolene had been placed at
an almost p%rohibitive figure In order TO
provide a fund for the payment Of "enor-
nous dividends
Senator Pomercne OF Ohio incidentally
declared that the Supreme Court decree
'jissolying" the standard Oil Company
was ineff, ctivc. He charged that not
vithstandlng the court had found there
had been criminal acts committed no
prosecution followed.
II was brought nut In the debate that
the Federal Trade Commission will rake
its r, port on gasolcne prices within a
week.
