LOBBYING QUIZ
WILL INCLUDE
ALL SHADES

A far-reaching investigation
into all forms of lobbying in
washington appeared probable
today as a result of recent dis
closures concerning the activi-
ties of shipbuilding firms and
organizations that would profit
heavily by higher tariff duties.
Senator Caraway 3D. of Arkan-
sas announced today he would press
for vote next week on his resolu-
ton authorizing an investigation
and providing for the registration
Of lobbyists under the law. Cara
ways intention of seeking early
action on this resolution was re-.
ported several days ago.
Hung In House
The Caraway resolution already
has passed the Senate on several
occasions. but always has hung in
the House. In the light of recent
disclosures, however. that big Ameri-
can shipbuilding firms spent thou
sands Of dollars to promote the
Jones-White merchant marine bill,
and that at least one agent of New
England manufacturers actually sat
In the secret hearings of the
Finance Committee during the writ
ing of tariff schedules, it is now
felt that the House will be more
inclined to pass the Caraway resolu-
ton.
Large and Small
Literally hundreds of national
organizations maintain offices in
Washington. ranging in size and
scope from the towering United
States Chamber of Commerce down
to small organizations representing
an Infant industry"
The scope Of the Caraway resolu-
ton would include, too, probe into
the activities of both sides of the
prohibition issue--the Anti.Saloon
League and it's wet counterpart. the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment. Whether the politi-
clans of Capitol Hill would care to
go into that phase Of the lobbying
in Washington is another matter,
but that there is lobbying by the
reform and antireform elements Is
generally recognized.
