By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer : WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—Half a dozen seasoned lawmakers are getting ready to sit at the feet of a squadron of bright young men and try to find out what makes the wheels go round in the American economic System—and what makes those wheels slow up at times. The six, together with an equal number of Administration officials, make up the so-called, Monopoly Committee—the temporary national economic committee set up by the last Congress and given carte blanche
to explore a limitless subject. They, and through them the Nation, will be the pupils at the public . hearings which are expected to open in two weeks or so. : 3 The “faculty”. will be a group of | researchers, economists and lawyers, most of them in their 30’s, who are in direct charge of the various economic studies being made for the committee. . These men and their staffs, perhaps 100 or 150 persons altogether, have been burrowing into reports and statistics and questionnaires tor months, seeking to assemble case histories that will illuminate the successes and shortcomings of American industry and business, and possibly point the way to new legislation. New Fund Plea Expected
They will present to the committee, first, a broad word-picture. of the economic system, and then call in witnesses from key industries for. questioning about specific phases. The glassware manufacturing industry is listed tentatively as the first for public examination. The monopoly inquiry differs in + many ways from the usual Congressional investigations. For one thing, half its members are administrators rather than legislators. For another, it is a decentralized affair—in reality six separate investigations. Congress gave $500,000 for the in.quiry, but this likely will be ecx- ~ hausted within two or three months. More money no doubt will be asked. The 12-man committee, has had only three meetings. Senator O’Mahoney, chairman, and Leon Hender- ~ son, executive secretary and “sparkplug” of the committee, have been serving as co-ordinators of the various lines of approach to the economic jigsaw puzzle.
‘Committeemen Paired
x
The Congressional and administrative members of the committee have been ‘paired off and assigned to various fields, roughly along these lines: Senator O'Mahoney with William O. Douglas, SEC chairman: Insurance and investment companies, in- | terlocking directorates and proxies. (Immediate | direction of these . studies is in the hands of Thomas C. Blaisdell, young Columbia Ph. D. and economist] who has served half a dozen New Deal agencies.) Rep. Sumners (D. Tex.) with Herman Oliphant, general counsel of the Treasury: Analysis of existing _/ legislation affecting competition; * identical bids on Government contracts, etc. | (Director of| studies: J. J. O’Connell, 33, a New Yorker who has been a WPA attorney for five years.) Rep. Reece (R. Tenn.) with Richard C. Patterson, assistant Secretary of Commerce: Trade associations; national income; etc. (Director of studies: Willard Thorp, 39, former Government official lent to the committee by Dun & Bradstreet.) Senators Borah (R. Idaho) and King (D. Utah) with Assistant Attorney General Thurman W. Arnold and Chairman Garland S. Ferguson Jr: of the Federal Trade Commission: The operation of antitrust Jaws: the effect of industrial mergers on price policies and competition; control of patents, etc.
Gesell Gets . Assignment
(Two groups of experts are exam{ning various phases of these subjects. In charge of them are Hugh B. Cox, 32-year-old Nebraskan who - practiced law with a prominent - New York firm before coming to the ‘Justice Department in 1935, and Willis J. Ballinger, 37, former professor who is now economic ‘adviser to the Trade Commission.) Rep. Eicher (D. Iowa) with Isador Lubin, Commissioner of Labor Statistics: The effects of current

business policies on employment, wages and prices. (Mr. Lubin and his staff are drawing on the large statistical facilities of the Labor Department for their studies.) These names only ripple the surface of the big pool of specialized brains assembled for the inquiry. The SEC, for instance, has put in charge of its insurance-company Investigation the youthful lawyer who was SEC counsel in the Richard Whitney case—Gerhard Gesell. 2 and other newcomers to public affairs are likely 10 be heard from in a big way in the next few nmionths.
