SUGAR BR|BE

Charge That Unnamed Men,

Vote False, Prober Says

Charges published in a New

head of a domestic sugar COM
pany for obtaining a high sugar
tariff were branded as without
merit" today by Senator Nye
(R) of North Dakota, committee
chairman.
Nye said the information OBJ
tanned by his committee had
been turned over to the Senate
Lobby Committee but that he
expected that committee to. en-.
dOrse his own committees find
ing that nothing reflecting upon
the honor, honesty, or integrity
Of the Senator involved" had
been found.
Charge LOng-Standing
There is long "inside story"
in connection with this charge,
dating back to the trip which
President Hoover made to Flor
ida in advance of his Inaugural
ton and continuing until about
six months ago.
That the senator was involved
in financial deals with the sugar
magnate is not denied, but it is
stated on his behalf that these
we're stock transactions and had
nothing to do with pending legis-
lation or his official activities.
Senator Nye today made II
clear, however, that publication
of the story probably would make
an inquiry by the lobby commit

Caraway Silent
Several members of the lobby
committee are in favor of going
ahead with the evidence already
in hand, but Senator Caraway

declined to make any statement
whatever regarding the case.
The evidence involving the
Senator's name came from two
