ALUMINIUM PROBE

Sargent Aide Says Doubt of
Trade Commission Study
Led to Inquiry.

An independent Investigation Of the
dered by the Department of Justice
because the accuracy of the report OF
The Federal Trade Commission had
been challenged. the Senate investi-
eating committee was told today by
John l.. Lott, a special assistant to
the Attorney General
Lott said he was employed to take
charge of the inquiry. He assig gned
Joseph r. Dunn. a special agent. to
make the field investigation and then
directed William X. Benham. another
special assistant, to cooperate with
Dunn in inspecting the books OF the
company at Pittsburgh.
Both MIR Lott and Mr. Renham
praised Dunn as an efficient investi-
gator md a careful and reliable man.
Senator Walsh Democrat. Montana,
prosecutor Of the inquiry as to
whether the Department has proceed
ed with due diligence in investigating
charges that the Aluminium Co. has
violated a Federal court consent de-
cree. remarked that he would not care
to employ Dunn TO investigate a
'hootleS" case.
Lott said he personally knew of no
Investigations save the aluminium in
uuiry where the Attorney General
had directed that a report he made TO
him before any action was taken or
publicity given.
Procedure Attacked.
Pressed by Senator Walsh as 10
why the department did not obtain
copies of the documents and other
evidence before the Federal Trade
commission Lott said he expected TO
get all Of that evidence after the ex'
animation Of the books and files of
the Aluminium company is completed
Senator Walsh was insistent that
before Dunn made the field inVesti-
cation he should have armed himself
with all of the evidence. particularly
letters and sworn statements, which
the Trade Commission agreed TO fur
nish to the department. Lott said
he did not know whether the sps
cial agent had done SO.
Vigorous assault on the methods OF
the Justice Department was made by
Senator Walsh and Senator Norris
Republican. Nebraska. They com
plained especially of Dunn's failure to
arm himself with copies of complaints
made to the Trade Commission.
You sent this man to the Federal
Trade Commission and he got you
absolutely nothing" declared Senator
Walsh. DO you think that's an In
vestigation?'
That's a start" returned Mr.. Lott
Yes. but a poor start, observed
Senator Walsh.
Senator Norris declared that any
lawyer in proceeding with such an in
quiry would have obtained letters and
statements. .

NAMED HEAD OF LEGION

"The Gopher Gang" as the Mime
sofa department of the American L.
gion is known, will be bossed by a
parson, until August, and will be
proud of the fact, for he is fighting
parson. Rev. Martin D. Haferman,
pastor of the English Lutheran church
at Lindstrom and formerly first vice
commander of the state Legion, was
elected commander Sunday by the
state Executive committee to fill the
unexpired term of Joseph OHara OF
Glencoe, who resigned 20 enter poll
tics.
"The Parson," as he is effectionate-
w known to members of his cOngre-
cation and Legionaires throughout
the state, left his theological training
flat when war broke out and enlisted,
not as a chaplain, but as buck prl-
vate in the army.
He was then studying at the Chica-
go seminary and despite the advice
of many of his fellows, broke into his
training and left almost between two
days.
When Commander O'Hara resigned,
Rev. Mr.. Hafemran modestly took up
the duties as commander protein and
just as modestly accepted the results
of Sundays election, which was held
at the Curtis hotel, Minneapolis.
Last year he served the state de-
partment as chaplain and was voted
unanimously at the Thief River Falls
convention to have been one OF the
most popular members in the state,
when he was chosen to act as hrs'
! vice commander.
