PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ALUMINIUM
COMPANY CANNOT BE SUCCESSFULLY
MAINTAINED, SAYS Sen. CUMMINS

Washington, Feb. 18.-(P)-After
full investigation, the department Of
justice has reached the conclusion
that contempt proceedings against
the Aluminium Company of America
cannot by any possibility be sue
cessfully maintained.
The announcement was made today
by Chairman Cummins of the senate
judiciary committee, in minority
report opposing the senate invcsti-
cation as to whether the aluminium
Company, in which Secretary Mellon
is large stockholder, has violated
federal court DEGREES Of 1912.
Senator Cummins said the depart
mcnt was "in possession of infOrma-
tion known or believed to exist in
cluding not only everything that was
available to the federal trade com
mission but also many items of in
formation not submitted to the COM
mission
Senate's Right Challenged
"After carefully considering the
entire case and exhausting every
available source of information"
Senator Crmmins said, "the depart
ment has reached the conclusion
that contempt proceedings cannot by
any possibility be successfully main-
tained."
In view Of this/finding Senator
Cummins challenged the legal right
Of the senate to make further an
|vestigation.
ut is the judgment of the minority
Of the committee" the report added,
''that there is. no constitutional au-
thority for the resolution of invcsti-
CATION recommended in the majority
report and that If the course indicat-
ed in the proposed resolution, be-
cause of the settled practice of the
senate. were followed. the l6verthYsik

"The struggle which must cnsue
will end either in the complete sub
ordination of the executive or Judi
cial branches of the government to
the legislative branch or in subject
ing the legislative power to the exc
cutive power. Stripping the proposal,
to enter upon this inquiry, Of every
thing save its bare essentials, it
means just this-no more and no
less.
"The senate, because it doubts the
conclusion reached by the depart
ment of justice, is to try the Alumi-
mum Company for the alleged viola
tions Of the decree. If it finds the
defendant guilty, it will then set
about discovering lawyer who holds
the senate opinion and direct the
prsidcnt to employ him.
No Power To Try Case
1--WE deny the right or power of
the senate to try this case and deny
the jurisdiction Of the senate or any
committee of the senate to summon
and hear witnesses upon the issue
of violation of this decree
The question whether the senate
is to supplement the department of
justice and federal trade commission
Investigations was special orderlof
business for today. Involved in the
controversy is the whole question Of
the extent to which senate Inquiries
are to be ordered in the future.
Want Brakes Applied
Republicans in party conference
Yesterday decided that the brakes
should be applied on Investigations
the first test Of strength 81 those
who hold that the senate, particular
exceeded its rightfpl functions II the
matters Of Inquiries.
