LOBBYISTS PARASITES Chairman Caraway of Sen ate Lobby Committee Re views Work of Group Public Should Take Heed From Disclosures. WASHINGTON. May 30. (p) Au assertion that most Washington lobbyists are "simple parasites preying upon the public" was made today by Chairuinii Caraway of tho senate lobby committee In a re view of the accomplishments of the committee's seven months' inves tigation. As the life of the committee noared an end Caraway told news paper men that the vast majority of the lobbyists are simply taking advantage of the "stupidity or de sires of Individuals and groups away from Washington. " i "They serve no useful purpose." he asserted, adding that if the pub lic has followed tlieMnvestigatfou It will "these selfish refrain from supporting utterly disreputable and Interests. " Caraway ex however, that there wore plained, groups which were "honestly seek ing: to bring about helpful legisla tion or executive action," and be did not intend to reflect upon them. "All agree," he said, "that every citizen has the right to present his views on any public matter io any branch of tho government. To do so is not only a constitutional right but is n right that should be exer cised. "The Investigation has given n fairly accurate picture of tho lead ing groups who have infested Wash ington and sought to luflucuco leg islation and executive action for a number of years. "In most cases it pretty clearly appeared that tho chief concern of tho lobbyists was to find credulous people and induce them , to contrib ute funds which' were alleged to be accumulated for the purpose of accomplishing ends they professed to seek. Money Wasted "Hut in very ninny instances the contributions found their way Into the pockets of Hie professional lob byists. "Of (he hundreds of associations and Individuals who are domiciled In Washington, and who may prop erly be described as lobbyists, tho vast majority aro simply preying upon thu stupidity or desires of in dividuals and groups away from Washington and whatever money is contributed is pocketed. "They make no effort to Influ ence legislation or executive action and havo no Influence to accom plish either. They aro simply para sites preying upon the public. They serve no useful purpose. "However much they may pro fess, the fact Is that most of them have no speaking ucfpialntanco with anyone in the legislative or admin istrative branches of the govern ment."
