International News Photograph Service
Senate lobby investigators today
sought the "inside story" of the
$70O 900 fund the Associated Gas
and Electric Company threw into
its campaign against the pending
utility holding company bill.
Already, the committee has
shown that 100000 of this went
for kilograms and letters urging
members of Congress to vote
against the bill. Today, the in
vestigators turned to the other
100000.
Trailing Higher Ups
At the same time, the inveSti-
gators moved to locate the re-
sponsibility for the campaign, and
for the methods used in it. Thus
far, the committee has shown that
hundreds Of messages were sent
bearing signatures taken from q
city directors.
Also, it has disclosed that when
q congressional investigation De-
came certain, the company's secur-
ity manager in Ithaca, New York.
II E. Beach, issued orders for the
division chiefs of the 26 State sys-
tenn to destroy records OF the LOBBY
work. s =
When the inquiry opened a
messenger boy and minor olVl-
sional employees were 1nVoaVeo.
They told stories OF orders from
"hieher.ups." The committee mas
carried its inquiry thus far up
to Beach.
Climb Step by Step
The net official to be called
was O. e, Wasser, who is comp
trnller of the company and the
immediate superior Of Mr.. Beach.
The latter, while absolving Mr..
Wasser of technical responsibility
for issuing orders to destroy the
lobby records. conceded that ne
had talked" to him and advised
him of his intention to issue the
orders. Mr.. Wasser did not
countermand them or comment
he said. ~.
ator Black (DO Of Alabama,
called this "tacit approval" OF
the order, and plans to quiz the
.Associated's comptroller on this
matter.
None To Be Immune
Plans for the 100000 lobby
campaign were evolved at a
meeting attended by half a dozen
vice presidents of the company,
and these may be called, too.
Senator Black said:
owe are going to call anyone
whom we believe may have In
formation which this commit
tee seeks"
Under present plans, the COM
mittee hopes to conclude its in
vestigation Of the Associated Gas
and Electric Company within 10
days. The president, I. r. Mango,
may be called before the inquiry
is completed.
Plans for other similar in
uuiries were withheld by COM
mittee members, but at least one
other large utility concern was
expected to have its anti-utility
bill efforts aired.
