First, two Democrats, Idaho's Clark and Colorado's Adams, accused the Senate conferees of not trying hard enough to defend the Senate's stand against the President's dollar power. Senator Townsend opened for the Republicans and then Senator Vandenberg asked all factions, who were agreed on the Stabilization Fund's desirability, to pass a separate resolution to preserve it. This suggestion got nowhere. But it and other speeches took up time.

Younger brother (59) of Alcoa's Board Chairman Arthur Vining Davis, Mr. Davis held the stand for six and a half weeks while the Government went after him hammer & tongs trying to show that Aluminium Ltd. is not a separate, independent corporation, but an international stooge set up by Alcoa. When he was finally excused, Harvardman Davis was glad to get back to his 400-acre estate on Cape Cod, where he raises...
