TIRED OF PROBING.

Wiser for it's experience with the Ever
glades charges, the House Committee on
Expenditures I'm the Department OF Agri-
culture has reached a decision not TO order
a general investigation of the meat inspec-
ton service In response TO charges by Rep
resentative Nelson. the Wisconsin In
surgent The committee has made no tor-
NAL announcement OF Its abandonment or
the probe during which preliminary hear
ings were held. but both Democratic ana
Republican members are of the opinion
that Mr. Nelson has failed to suostantiate
his charges OF collision among government
meat inspectors and the packing interests.
The committee, commonly known as the
Moss committee OF the House. recently
conducted an exhaustive inquiry into GER
tain charges preferred against the officials
of the department by Representative Frank
Clark. of Florida, who broadly asserted
the department had lent its aid TO the eX-
ploitation Of the Florida Everglades by
land sharks" The investigation had been
under way only a short time when MT
Clark felt compelled TO go TO Florida 10
mend his political fences The author oil
the charges Is still in Florida. fighting for
reelection TO Congress In the face OF IN
dignant accusations from his opponents
that his widely heralded allegations against
the Everglades have cost the state millions
Of dollars. Meanwhile the House commit
tee has made no report" Of It's investiga-
ton. which was ended several weeks ago
No sooner had the committee emerged from
the mire OF the Everglades controversy
than Mr.. Nelson came forward with a
sweeping arraignment OF the Department
of Agriculture and the meat inspection ser
vice. The committee members have decided
that Mr.. Nelson has failed to make OUT
his case. and now Solicitor McCabe OF the
Department Of Agriculture has filed de-
rnand that the department shall receive an
opportunity TO defend itself from the per-
sistent attacks OF muckrakers and sensa-
tionalists." u " H.
