BY SENATOR HUGO L. BLACK
Chairman Special Air Mail Investigating
Committee


written for the United Press)
WASHINGTON, April IL. - The
senate, by unanimous vote, created
the committee to investigate ocean
and air mail contracts.
The unanimous action was evil
IDENTIFY the result of well-founded
belief in the senate that these sub
sides, amounting to many millions
of dollars, needed to be exposed to
careful scrutiny.
The results Of the investigation
proved the senate was right in this
unanimous action.
Fraud, crookedness and corrup-
ton have been shown to exist. The
taxpayers have been plundered of
millions of dollars by the manipu-
lations of lobbyists, contractors and
government officials.
Lobbyists Spent Thousands
Lobbyists have been shown to
have spent thousands of dollars in
securing contracts. Lobbyists have
been shown to have supported and
maintained stock speculative ac-
counts for the very government en-
ployes who aided in bestowing these
contracts. Thousands of dollars
have gone from the subsidized funds
of contractors to employ men who
had political influence directly or
indirectly, both to pass laws and to
secure contracts.
Pioneer flying operators have been
forced to sell their business to make
way for political favorites. officers
and stockholders of favored COM
panies have grown to be million
aires as the result of the steady
stream of government funds di-
verified by unfair means into their
pockets.
The plain facts are that in the
very teeth of a law passed to pro-
tect the public interest, mail con-
tractors, in agreement with govern
ment officials, met and agreed upon
the air mail lines to be awarded to
the favored benefciaries of public
money.
