BRANDS LOBBYISTS
.|ND.C. AS PARASITES
Chairman CaraWay Charges
"They Serve No Useful Pur-
pose," in Review of Probe.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An assertion that most Washington
lobbyists are Simple parasites preying
upon the public" was made today by
Chairman Caraway of the Senate lobby
committee in a review of the accomp-
hshments Of the committees seven
months investigation.
AS the life of the committee neared
an end Caraway told newspaper men
that the vast majority of the lobbyists
are simply taking advantage Of the
"cupidity or desires Of individuals and
groups away from Washington"
They serve no useful purpose" he
asserted, adding that IL the public has
followed the investigation It will refrain
from supporting these utterly dtsrepu-
table and selfish interests
Some Groups Honest.
Caraway explained, however. that
there were groups which were honestly
seeking to bring about helpful legisla-
ton or executive action" and he did
not intend to reflect upon them.
"All agree" he said, that every cit
lien has the right to present his views
on any public matter to any branch of
the Government. To do so is not only
constitutional right, but Is a right
that should be exercised.
THE investigation has given a fairly
accurate picture of the leading groups
who have infested Washington and
sought to influence legislation and ex-
ecutlve action for a number of years.
In most cases 1t pretty clearly ap-
peared that the chief concern of the
lobbyists was to find credulous people
and induce them to contribute the funds
which were alleged to be accumulated
for the purpose Of accomplishing ends
they profeSSed to seek.
But in very many instances the con-
tributionS found their way into the
pockets Of the professional lobbyists.
Preying Upon individuals.
"Of the hundreds of associations and
individuals who are domiciled in WASH
ington and who may properly be de-
scribed as lobbyists the vast majority
are simply preying upon the cupidity
or desires Of individuals and groups
away from Washington and whatever
money is contributed is pocketed.
They make no effort to influence
legislation or executive action and have
no influence to accomplish either. They
are simply parasites preying upon the
public. They serve no useful purpose.
However much they may profess
the fact is that most of them have no
speaking acquaintance with any otIe in
the legislative or administrative
branches of the Government"
