Each Senator flayed the public character he disliked most. Senator Norris flayed Publisher Edward Beale McLean of the Washington Post. Senator Glass flayed Chairman Charles Edwin Mitchell of Manhattan's National City Bank. Senator Harrison flayed the Republican President.

Outstanding stock of Bankers' Capital and affiliated companies came...
