Show HENEY MAKES GRAVE CHARGES. Declares Packers Have Paid Spies on Hoover's Board. Chicago. Francis J. Heney, in charge of the federal investigation of the packing industry, declares he will show that the big Chicago packers had taken steps immediately after the entrance en-trance of the United States into the war to place men in the food administration, admin-istration, prior to its creation, who would not allow the packing industry to be placed at a disadvantage. Mr. Heney declared Monday that at least six men who drew salaries from the packing companies and their subsidiaries sub-sidiaries were holding important posts in the food administration. These men, he indicated, were placed in the food administration for no other purpose than to bead off any action which would be detrimental to the packers. |
