(Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, May 7. You may
shortly hear that the senate has
authorized a committee Investigation
of the public
works adminis
tration. A resolu
tion authorizing
, It was drawn a
week ago. but
not Introduced.
It la to be a
companion piece
to the Couzena
r e a o 1 u tion re
Mritly adopted by
the senate In a
very quiet way.
The Couneni
resolution au
PAUL MALLON
thored an Inquiry Into relief ex
penditures by the senate appropria
tions committee.
There are no scandrlous rumors
behind these moves. Also no political
flshlnsr expedition. Senators merely
grot their heads together and agreed
the time had arrived for the new
dealers to "come down off Mount
Olympus and subject themselves to
some kind of normal audit " The
strongly independent Senator Cou
ns conceived the Idea and sold It.
. His moves are always above" political
suspicions.
In line with this, there Is some
cloakroom talk about eventually es
tablishing a federal bureau of audit.
Deeper down than that In the
senatorial mind now Is a desire to
keep a hand on expenditure when
congress Is not in session. A signifi
cant slant on the move Is that the
restraining hand will be exercised by
the appropriations committee. The
forefinger there la the committee
chairman. Carter Glass, who has
never been an Olympian.
The new dealers have not objected.
At least, one cabinet offices privately
approved the Coxizens resolution be
fore it was adopted.
The new deal move to tighten up
on news leaks seems to be spread
ing. Some free-talking officials have
suddenly become evasive. A few have
frankly asked to be relieved of the
responsibility of answering questions
hereafter. Not only officials, but the
rank and file of personnel in some
government quarters have shown a
sudden preference for silence.
These tightenlng-up flurries have
occurred on several previous occa
sions in this and In past adminis
trations. They never have been suc
cessful, and usually provoke a sharp,
unfavorable reaction.
This one appears to be more ex
tensive and earnest, but there Is no
reason to belie-e It will be any more
successful than the others. Trying to
channelize, the news of government
Is like trying to smooth the ocean
waves. ,
The family troubles of Republicans
are fully explained by a remark
dropped some time ago by House
Republican Leader Snell. Safd he:
"I am a liberal conservative."
There is no question that the
somewhat conservative Mr. Snell has
becyme more liberal this year. How
ever, some of his party snickerera

velt Expected to Veto
WASHINGTON. May 7. (A,P) In
the face of a promised veto, the sen
ate today Joined the house in voting
for cash payment of the soldiers'
bonus by a 2,000,000,000 Issue of new
currency.
The bill waa passed by a vote of
55 to 33, far shart of the two-thtrds
required to override a veto.
After a few formalities, the measure
will be sent to the White House for
an almost certain veto. Administra
tion leaders predicted the veto could
be sustained in the senate.
The bill was passed after the sen
ate had rejected by wide margins the
Harrison compromise and the Vinson
cash payment bill providing for pay
ment tn old money.
The senate passed the Patman bill
In the same form In which It was
approved by the house! so that no
conference will be necessary before
the bill goes to the White House.
But a motion by Senator Clark. (D.,
Mo.) to reconsider the vote by which
It passed will hold up Us transmittal
temporarily.
Clark served notice he would make
the motion, because It was apparent
the bill could not be passed over a
veto. He did not actually submit
the motion, however, and so the bill
will be held before the senate until
he does.

HIIS POSTOFFICE
DENVER, May 7. iTTi Three
Denver btisinessmen pleaded not
guilty today to charges of using
the malls to defraud tn a 91 chstn
letter game.
R. M. .Barnsolt, oil man, said
the government charge, filed by
postofftce Inspector Roy E. Nelson,
will be fought vigorously.
"We do not Intend to submit
meekly to this attempt of federal
authorities to brand aa orlmlnal
the action we have taken in com
mon with thousands of others,"
Barnholt said. "Neither we nor the
others are guilty of crime.'1
Like a flood breaking through a
dam and flooding the valley, the
chain lettej scourge hit Medford full
force today, with the strain so great
at the postofftce, hub of the mass of
letters that has the whole town ga-ga,
that substitutes were pressed Into
duty and letter cancellations at noon
were tripled.
Barely noticeable at flrat, the swell
in postal activity started the tatter
part of last week and increased stead
ily "Saturday, Sunday and Monday
until thU morning Postmaster Frank
DeSouza estimated that the amount
of mall circulating within and In and
out of the city is 50 per cent above
normal.
The postofftce crew la still able lo
handle the Increnae, with a flttle re
organization to allow more men for
the cancellation department, but the
clerks are wondering how they are
golm; to cancel, file and distribute
the mail If It keeps up the phenom
enal climb. Last Friday, an average
day, 5000 tetters were cancelled. To
day, the same number were cancelled
before noon, and the envelopes were
pouring Into the postofftce and letter
boxes with a steady hum.
It's the talk of the town. Type
writers are clacking, and there has
been a sudden demand for carbon
paper to make the five stipulated cop
ies of the chain formula for getting
rich quick. Everyone is a-flutter
with the idea, and there's no stopping
It. and for that matter apparently no
one ts trying to stop It.
