registered as a lobbyist.
Spangler helped draft and
put through Congress legisla
ton under which midwest truck
ing firms can prosecute claims
a & inst the government for
about $2O,O00,0O0. The compan-
les are claiming this much in
profits realized when the gov
ernment was operating t h e r
companies after a strike during
the war.
Evidence gathered by the lob
by committee indicates Spang-
Ter was lobbying without regis
tering. The lobby law provides
penalties for lobbying, without
registering, up to $4,000 fine
and a year in Jail.
Spangler, questioned at his
home in Iowa, denied he was
acting in the capacity Of lob
byist" for the motor carriers. He
admitted helping prepare briefs,
and committee records show he
testified before House and Sen
ate Committees on the legisla-
ton.
Under the law this does not
necessarily constitute lobbying,
but in his testimony before the
House Committee, Spangler told
Of helping prepare legislation
which was finally approved by
Congress. He appeared before
The committees as representa-
i've of Iowa truckers. Spangler
has long been Republican Ma
.ional Committeeman, from Iowa,
and recently served on the Re-
publican Policy Committee that
drafted the party's statement of
principles.
The lobby committee has in
It's possession the draft of con-
.ract between Spangler and the
truckers under which he and his
aw firm would receive 10 per
cent of any m oney recovered
rom the government on behalf
If the companies. But Spangler
denies he ever signed the con-
ract. The contract called for the
of Spangler's "serv-
ces, legal and otherwise, in
'furthering of the adoption" of
he legislation. Under the pro-
posed contract Spangler was to
,ay for entertainment" and
,ther expenses.
Spangler's Is the first big
lame to be dragged into the
louise lobby inquiry, which has
lad corps of investigators
for several months. The
owan was chairman of the Ma
ional Republican Committee
rom 1912 to 1914, and has con-
inued to be a power in the par
Y since. He is regarded as one
# the leaders of the "Old
suard" in the party.
