U.S. Department of Justice files charges against church president Heber J. Grant and Presiding Bishop Charles W. Nibley for illegal profiteering on behalf of the church's Utah-Idaho Sugar Company. Nibley is already under indictment on a related charge of conspiracy in restraint of trade. The federal grand jury excludes Grant but includes Nibley in its indictments on 21 Aug. Grant speaks in Nibley's defense at general conferences, and the government eventually drops the charges.
