The Weather Forecast: Fair tonight and Wednes day; warmer Wednesday, Temperature Highest yesterday 75 I.onest this morning .... 35 Thirtieth Year Br pall mallox. (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.

(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. WASHINGTON. May .
