! Four members of the Dupont
family were present before the'
committee, as it set out to dra.v
a picture of how large a part of
the profits were invested by the
firm in other American industries.

i “I have reason to believ that
the growth of the Dupont Corpora
tion has reached unbelievable pro-,,
portions,” said one member of
the committee.
