Washington, Dec. 29.-The admins.
tration of Fred bennett of North Da.
kota as commissioner of the general
land Office will be subjected to close
scrutiny by the house committee on
expenditures, of which Representative
Mcclure of Oklahoma is chairman
This investigation, which will be con
Quoted independent of that to be made
as a result of the controversy between
r. A. Ballinger, secretary of the in
terror, and Clifford Pinchot. chief for
ester of the government, will be begun
as soon as congress meets after the
holidays.
The committee on expenditures Is
one of the organizations OF the house
that fell into disuse for many years
It has been galvanized into life as
result of the new policy of economy
The charge was made by Representa-
tive Hitchcock of Nebraska, during
the course of a speech in the house
that the land Office was honeycombed
with fraud and that in purchases made
for that office the authorities were
guilty of the most willful extrava
gance.
