Since Errett Lobban Cord had escaped the Committee's inquisition by going on a long yachting trip to the isles of Greece, the Committee seized as target for its questions Lucius Bass Manning, chargé d'affaires of Cord's motor, aviation and shipbuilding interests. Long ago Mr. Manning protested that it was just a happy coincidence when, the day after Mr. Cord announced acquisition of New York Shipbuilding Corp., that firm was awarded the biggest ($38,450,000) slice of the New Deal's naval contracts (TIME...
