WASHINGTON. June g (JT)
Ten democratic eenatora propoaed
today that a three-man aenatorlal
committee b appointed to Investi
gate any charge of politic In re
lief which might aris during th
1938 election campaign.
Their resolution was Introduced
by Senator Tydlng (D-Md.) Just
about th lira Harry L. Hopkins
was telling reporters that Senator
Gillette's renomlnatlon In the
Iowa democratic primary ahowed
the WI'A was not playing poli
tic. low Not Mentioned
Some of the resolution's signer
had criticised th WPA admtnlt
trator in th aenat Jaat week for
endorsing Itepreaentatlve Wearln,
Olllotte'e principal opponent.
The resolution, which made no
specific reference to the Iowa situ
ation, was offered by administra
tion suporter as woll as Roosevelt
critics. .. ... r.
The signer in addition to Tyd
Ings wore Senators Adams of Colo
rado, Bulkay of Ohio, Burke of
Nebraska, George of Georgia, Ger
ry of Hhode Island. Hatch of New
Mexico, King of Utnh. .McAdoo of
California and Wagnor of New

Clinry
Senator Hatch said he would

ment to th 13.723,000,000 relief
bill to requlr dlamlaaal of WPA
administrative employes who used
tholr Influence In elections. On
one test last week, the proposal
failed by a single vote.
Ollletto's victory led Senators
Wheeler (D-Mont.) and Burke
D-Neb.) to predict that adminis
tration lieutenant would b chary
of Intervening -In other primary
contests. Like Gillette, the two
senators opposed the president'
court bill.
DES MOINES. Ia., June 8 (P)
State democratic party leaders to
day looked to senator uuy M
Gillette to smooth out the rough
spots which might endanger the
success of him and all elective
state officers In th fall election.
Representative Otlia D. Wearln,
the anti-court plan democrat's
principal opponent, ended tho bit
ter senatorial primary last night
by conceding Gillette victory.
Record Demo Vote
The nominee received telegram
of congratulations from both
Wcnrln and Jnmes Roosevelt, son
of the president who described
Wearln as "my friend" In a tele
gram made publlo during the pri
mary campaign.
The democratic vote was the
greatest In th party's history, ex
ceeding by mor than 10,000 the

40-Ton $3,000,000
Flying Boat.
WASHINGTON, June I ffl
The navy is ready to start build
ing the world's largest mllltnry
plane possibly the largest of any
type.
Tbe original model will cost
upwards of $3,000,000, four time
aa much aa the army' 32-ton
"super flying fortress," Its weight
may reach SO tons, compared to
tbe 411-ton Atlantlo clipper, tbe
nation's largest ocean air trans
port, now being tested at Seattle,
rnrtlnlly Armored ,
After shielding details for more
than a year, the navy disclosed
some TactB about the flying patrol
boat in asking congress to double
tbe $l,000.0(t appropriated last
year for Us construction.
The house appropriations com
mittee included the sum in the
second deficiency bill Introduced
yesterday, tfbe lowest bid, opened
Inst month, was $2,400,000 with
out engines or propellers, but offi
cials said they could divert the
extra $400,000 from other funds.
Just how far and fast tho craft
will go Is confidential, Admiral
Cook said, but he Indicated its
range would exceed considerably
the iOOO-mile range needed for a
nonstop round trip from Snn Fran
cisco to Honolulu. The plane will
be partially armored and will
carry a crew of 10 to 14 men.
