Investigations

The Senate investigations still plow onward, but as days go by seem to turn up less and less dirt. The one concrete result last week was really a corollary of an earlier event. William J.

The new Attorney General, Mr. Stone, said: "I desire to thank you for your services to the Government and to wish you all future success and happiness."
