Juno 25 The greatest mystery in Washington today is a tall, lank, blue-cyed Irishman from Vermont. For four months Senators, newspapermen, power lobbyists and public officials have been discussing him without being able to fathom his methods or his motives. This mar. of mystery 13 Hob-rt E. Healy, who, as chief counsel of the Federal Trade Commission, is conducting the investigation of the so-called power trust ordered by the Senate in the amended Walsh reso lution.

Ia many respects this is the most successful and effective Government investigation that the writer has ever witnessed. Exposing Guarded There have been other inquiries which have developed greater sensations, but none which has more successfully exposed the very vitals of a great industrial combination. For this result Judge Healy and the staff of able assistants which he has organized are primarily responsible. No one has yet been able to explain satisfactorily how this ir.an Judge Robert E. Healy.

frnm Vermont, recommended. It is said, by President Coolidge as a safe, sane and conservative counsel, was able to come fresh from a small town law practice and within a few weeks reach into the very heart of the Power Trust and drag out lis most carefully guarded secrets. Lobbyists Are at a No one has been able to explain why a man with his conservative background and training should have proved himself within these few months to be one of the most dangerous antagonists that the Power Trust In its triumphant march toward complete domination of the nations electrical resources has yet encountered. This strange phenomenon is puz zling the public utility lobbyists who felt that they had achieved a great victory by having the Walsh resolution amended so as to have the investigation of their industry conducted by the Federal Trade Commission. Thought Commission "Packed." These astute and high-salaried gentlemen believed, with much reason, that the Federal Trade Commis sion has been safely "packed" by President Coolidge and that all its teeth had been drawn.

They had seen it permit the Bread Trust and a dozen other monopolies to escape with only a slap on the wrist. It looked like a havrn ot reruge as com pared with a Senate investigation conducted by a fierce and relentless prosecutor like Thomas J. Walsh of Montana. The former chief counsel for the commission, who had acted as a messenger for the Bread Trust attorneys in arranging for a consent decree in place of a prosecution, had resigned and a nev imm had Just been appointed. When tlin Ivbh Got Tjsether.

He came from Vermont. That was a good start; for how could any one from the native state oi caivin Coolidge be a menace to big business? He was a product of the same legal environment that creatad John Garibaldi Sargent, who has never been A ROUGH EXPO in pwii' III puuimuw 1 i.j 1 i I llll HLHLH i 9 5 ,1 known to annoy any malefactor of great wealth. He was a former Judga of the Supreme Court of Vermont, which should be a sure guarantee ot conservatism. The power lobbyists overlooked, however, the fact that the Judge's name was Healy and that about 20 years ago he had married Sarah Houlihan. When the Healys and Houllhans get together it usually means trouble for somebody.

And this time it meant trouble for the Power Trust. Has a Square Jaw. No one would expect trouble on first meeting Judge Healy. Tall, distinguished, gray-haired, slightly told and 45 years old, he seems the very embodiment of courtesy and good humor. He is.

Never during I ha hearines has he raised his voice to bulldoze or scold a witness. Never has he refused a witness an opportunity to make any explanation he might desire. But the longer one studies the Judc the more he is impressed with two features which may be overlooked at first ance. He has a keen blue- gray eye that disregards shams and camouflage and penetrates lar beneath the surface. He has also a large square Jaw that implies fores and determination.

Judge Healy's methods of examine ing witnesses are likewise deceptive. To a casual onlooker the commis sion's hearings sound like a casual conversation, in which a courteous gentleman is making a few interested Inquiries. But the results are some times devastating. "Barney" Mullaney, Instills right hand man, has established a reputation in his native State of Illinois for successfully handling the inquiries of public utility commissioners and opposing counsel. When he took the witness stand, Carl D.

Jackson, the high-salaried counsel for the' Amerl- can Gas Association, was heard t9 BlurTs InsuM's Big Bluffer. "Now, Judge Healy has to deal rlth some one he cannot bluff." A pleasant colloquy then took place between the two sons of Erin, in which step by step Mullaney wu led to reveal how the power trust plan for controling public opinion, which had originated In the fertile brain of Samuel Insull, had been organized and expanded until it had successfully reached Into the press, the pub lic schools and the universities of tne nation. Mullaney was copious with explana tions which somehow did not explain and served only to drag him and the industry which he represented deeper into the mire. No More Facts Needed. When Mullaney left the witness stand at the end of this courteous grilling, Mr.

Jackson went into a nearby telephone booth to one of the high officials of the Gas Association and notify him that he would not immediately be needed as witness. He was asked how Mullaney had performed. When asked what reply he had made to this inquiry he sid: "I told him Mullaney got on fairly well as long as he stuck to facts. What else could I say?" Shows Up Poisoning Propaganda. By these methods and with the aid of able associates and assistants, headed by Col.

William T. Chantland p.nd Walter B. Wooden, Judge Hcaljr has proceeded with his investigation. Day by day, step by step and State by State, he has been weaving a web of evidence built entirely upon the power trust's own records and witnesses, convicting this great industrial combination of attempting to poison and control the public opinion of the nation through tampering with its public schools and universities and influencing its press, which is Infinitely more damaging than any sensational charges of political corruption or financial manipulation that might be brought. No matter who is elected President in the coming campaign, whether it Is Herbert Hoover or Al Smith, if he wants an Attorney General who on his record to date will enforce the law without fear or favor, he might well turn to this Irish Catholic Republican judge from Vermont- who apparently plays no politics and actj on the old-fashioned idea that a public office Is a public trust.

lias announced that he is still continuing his fight against Col. Robert W. Stewart as chairman of the board of directors of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, although the Colonel has not so much as answered the oil magnate's letter calling on, him to resign. In a statement issued yesterday the younger Rockefeller made it clear that he has not given up his attempt to oust Colonel Stewart, who was recently acquitted on a charge of con tempt for refusal to answer questions In the oil investigation of the Senate. He still faces Grand Jury action for his share in the naval oil reserve deals.

Mr. Rockefeller wrote to Stewart on April 27 and April 30. asking him to resign in accordance with a personal rjrom se Drev ouslv given, voionei Stewart had at that time testified be fore the Senate oil committee that ne had received S759.500 worth of Lib erty bonds as his share of profits of the notorious Continental Trading Company, although he had before that denied under oatn mat ne i-uucr got any of the bonds or knew where they wore. Denies Shares Sold. On Mav 10.

last. Mr. Rockefeller publicly announced that he had "lost confidence" in Stewart as chairman of the board and revealed the letters of April 27 and April 30. Stewart's only reply has been a remark that the letters would receive the same consideration that a letter from any stockholder was entitled to. The Rockefeller interests own a.ouu.uuu shares of the company's stock, constituting about 15 percent of the stock outstanding.

Yesfprdav'i statement acn.ej that these Interests were being sold or disposed of as a means of forcing Stewart out, ana aanea mat such other steps "as appear practicable" were being taken to brihs about the same result. The Rockefeller Statement. The statement was: "it is not the Dollcy of Messrs. Rockefeller, senior and Junior, or of the Rockefeller boards to make comments on reports published in the papers from time to time in regard to their investments. In view, however, or the interest shown bv many other stockholders and by the public in the Standard Oil Company of Indiana situation, seema fitting in this instance to say tnat statements recently appealing in newsDBDers that 'the Rockefeller interests are said to have been selling Standard Oil Company of Indiana stock for some time' are without foundation Not one share of the stock has been sold nor has the question of its sale been considered.

"Mr. Rockefeller position with reference to the desirability of a change in the leadership or the Standard OU company oi inaiana has not changed. That position was clearly indicated in his letter to Colonel Stewart, calling upon him to make good his promise to resign when asked and in the statement which accompanied the publication of the letter. While no reply from Colonel Stewart has been received, Mr. Rockefeller has been taking and will continue to take such steps in this matter as appear practicable."

Bennington, June 25 Leslie Longs! reet, 20, son of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Longstreet, of Brooklyn, was almost instantly killed at 5:30 this nornlng in Arlington, 17 miles north of this place, when a rear wheel of a roadster came off, and the car plunged Into a ditch.

The boy was thrown into the windshield. Shattered glass severed his jugular vein and he died sitting in front of the stecrlnj wheel. Leslie Forguites, 18, of Vermont, companion of the victim, escaped unhurt. The young men left Brooklyn last night and were on their way to Forest Dale, Vt a resort on Lake Dunmer, where they planned to pass the summer. Leslie Cameron Longstreet, a student at Colby Academy, Flatbush, accompanied by Forguites, left his home at 245 75th Bay Ridge, yesterday afternoon in a roadster.

A brief telegram announcing his death and the injury of his companion was received at the Longstreet home at 8:30 a.m. today. The only information it contained in addition to the dispatch received at The Eagle office was that a "wheel came off." On Friday young Forguites arrived at the Longstreet home to attend the 18th birthday party of Dr. Longstreet's younger son, Clarence. For the past three years the Vermont youth has attended Clarence's birthday parties and then taken the Brooklyn youths to his country home for the summer.

That the work of the Industrial Survey Commission meets with the approval of the Associated Industries, is shown by the fact that the letter's representative has already dissented from the conclusions of the Commission." Stores Saycr Again.

Again referring, although without mentioning his name, to Henry D. Sayer, secretary of the Commission, who is at the same time president of the Wolff Industrial Service, Dr. Rogers adds: Nor is it desirable that, as the channel through which amendments of the Compensation Law reach the Legislature, the Commission should have as its secretary a gentleman who is president of a large corporation that makes a large Income out of furnishing medical care in workmen's compensation cases. "Charges against the Department of Labor were laid before you in 1924 by the Associated Industries, by the officers, not the member firms, who were largely ignorant of the tac tics their organization contemplated. cnarges were made In 1928 against the Labor Department by certain members and the secretary of the Industrial Survey Commission.

The origins of the two attempts to discredit the Department of Labor were not dissimilar." Suppression Great Danger. Dr. Rogers then points out that Merwin K. Hart, representing the employing interests, stated to the Commission that the employers of the State, through Associated Industries, were prepared to re- nest at their own expense that the National Industrial Conference Board, a research and fact-finding organiza tion, undertake a complete survey of the industries of the State, with particular reference to the effect of regulatory laws In Industry, particularly with regard to their effect on the competitive position oi New oric industries and also with regard to the vital question of workmen's compensation." A legislative commission, con tinues Dr. Rogers, "Investigating an important problem should itself en gage, pay for and supervise Its research staff and fact-finding agencies.

There is perhaps scant likelihood that the National industrial coherence Board would be Intentionally partisan. There is greater likelihood that the Interests of its client would lnnuence the point of view and determine the emphasis. Suppression is a greater than uistortbu. Ignores Wage Earners. This, Indeed, appears plainly in the report which the Conference Board made on workmen's compen sation.

Much data was secured from employers, but the view of wage earners and claimants was almost completely ignored. Other criticisms might be brought against this report, but the most important con sideration here is the impropriety of the industrial survey commission permitting Us research work to be paid for by an organization of employers. For the fact of the matter ob viously is that the Industrial Survey Commission considered the data paid for by and prepared for the Asso ciated Industries not as a brief but as data on which the Commission was justified in relying without data presented by opposing interests. "How They Would Protest!" "Suppose the New York Federation of Labor had employed a research agency to prepare for the Industrial Survey Commission an 'impartial study of the benefits which would re sult from a 40-hour week, and sup pose the commission, lelying on that study, had recommended appropriate legislation. What criticism there would have been I How loud would have been the protest of Associated Industries, The principle is exactly the same in each case." Dr.

Rogers then points out that the Commission stated that it "deemed it fortunate that they were enabled through Associated Industries" to "obtain expert services of the very highest standards and national reputation to make certain studies for It and that it "accepted the offer in exactly the same spirit that it accepted any offer of responsible data by whomsoever presented." Suggrsts Changes. Dr. Rogers concludes: "If the methods of work of the Industrial Survey Commission were Imitated by other legislative committees, there would be little or no need for lobbying in Albany. Lobbying would be transformed into boring from within legislative committees." Dr. Rogers made the following suggestions for changes in the Department of Labor: Administration of the Workmen's Compensation Bureau by the Industrial Board instead of by the Industrial Commissioner establishment of a revolving fund and quarterly budget system and creation of aa advisory committee composed of insurance company representatives without initiative or veto power.

State Senator William Lathrop Love today in commenting on More-land Commissioner Rogers' report on the Workmen's Compensation Bureau said: "In my opinion, the Workmen's Compeasatlon Law should be entirely revised and rewritten. It is a hodgepodge as it now stands." SHOT AT CHRISTENING.
