PROBE REVEALS
Arnold Welded Lash to Assist
Watson Line Up Votes for
Tariff Bill, Letters Show
BY EDWARD L. RODDAN
Universal Service

Lobbyists lent a hand to Sena-
tor James E. Watson, Republican
leader, by bludgeoning Democratic
Senators into voting for provisions
of the Smoot- Hawley bill, the
Senate lobby committee revealed
yesterday.
The whip which cracked over the
heads of southern Senators was
welded by J. A. Arnold. the go-get.
ter manager of the Southern Tariff
Association. and his galaxy of tariff
seeking aides.
KENDRlCK UNDER FIRE
Arnold made the assertion In a
letter to r. e. Mollin. lobbyist for
the American Livestock Association,
suggesting that Mollin was the best
man for that job.
On the same day Arnold assured
Watson by letter that both Florida
and Louisiana Senators would vote
for the flexible provision and strong
efforts would be made to line up
Senator Heflin Cd, of Alabama.
From a voluminous mass Of tell
tale letters passing between Arnold
and his helpers, the committee drew
a graphic picture of the strong arm.

byists in their attempts to influence

Senator Blaine R.), of Wisconsin,
bluntly warned Arnold that failure
to tell the truth would make MIN
liable to criminal prosecution. Sen-
ator Walsh Cd, of Montana. re-
minded him as to what constituted
perjury.
The correspondence, however
pretty much told its own story.
Under the skillful direction Of
Arnold. the Florida division Of the
Southern Tariff Association set
about the task of bludgeoning Sen.
