Back from his annual vacation in the British Isles, John Pierpont Morgan received reporters and cameramen in his ship cabin, exhibited the new affability he acquired at the Senate Banking Committee Inquiry in Washington last Spring. Said he: "I was told when I left England that if I saw you men and posed for the photographers it would be a matter of only a few minutes and then everything would be all right. I believe now that it is true since I have done these things here. Yet I don't like it." Most of the newshawks' questions...

When Senator Fletcher, committee chairman, heard what had happened, he denounced it as a ''damned outrage," ordered the Morgan-midget films suppressed, telegraphed newspapers not to use them. When few obeyed, he barred cameramen from the committee room. The week prior Senator Glass, denouncing the committee's helter-skelter procedure, had declared: "We're having a circus here and the only things lacking are peanuts and colored lemonade." When told of Lya Graf, the peppery little Virginian sniffed a contemptuous "I-told...
