Description
Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug as he accused two California Congressmen of trying to "emasculate" the Family Farm Provision of the Reclamation Law. The charges against Senator Sheridan Downey and Representative Alfred J. Elliott were made before a House Executive Expenditures Subcommittee. The group has been investigating charges that federal funds were used illegally for propaganda purposes in connection with Central Valley. Secretary Krug said that neither Downey nor Elliott had proved any misuse of funds in connection with the Central Valley Project. From: Beth Gore
