Denounced by rail executive. Washington, D.C., Oct. 28. Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, acting Chairman of the Senate Rail Inquiry in the absence of Senator Burton K. Wheeler, was bitterly denounced today by William Wyer, Treasurer of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, who was been appearing before the Committee. Wyer described the investigation as an attack upon his personal integrity, rather an attempt to lay before Congress complete information of the activity of the Van Swerigan Rail Empire. The statement was allowed to be inserted into the record. 102837
