Washington, D.C. – In a shocking revelation, Clinton L. Bardo, a former executive of the New York Ship Building Co, testified before the Senate investigating committee that his company spent a staggering $102,347 on lobbying efforts during the merchant marine fight in Congress last year. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Bardo’s expense sheet, now an exhibit in the proceedings, revealed that other corporations chipped in a whopping $411,847.50, bringing the total to a staggering $147,000.
