SULLIVAN CASE CALLED
AGAIN NEXT WEDNESDAY
Senate Committee Tells Vrooman He
Must Furnish More Information
About Election Funds.

The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections showed a disposition yes
terday to find fault with the evidence
submitted to 1t by Carl Vrooman, Assist
ant Secretary OF Agriculture to make
a prima facie case for ordering an in
vestigation of the campaign fund of
Roger Sullivan, Democratic nominee for
Senator in Illinois. Mr. VrOoman was
asked TO come before the committee
again yesterday. and though the meet
ing was executive, IT was learned that
he was asked to furnish more definite
information on which to frame charges
for an investigation. The committee
then adjourned until next Wednesday
Following the meeting. some of the ad-
ministratiOn Senators made the predc-
ton that the committee would not make an
investigation into Sullivan's expenditures.
1t was said that the White House infiu-
ence is being directed to prevent an in
that it is a political scheme to discredit
Mr.. Sullivan as a candidate in advance
of the election.
The committee gave no time to the
Penrose matter yesterday. being engross-
ed entirely with the Sullivan case. 1t
is likely that witnesses will be heard
next Wednesday, when the committee
will meet again on the sufficiency OF al
legations to warrant an investigation Of
Mr.. Penrose's campaign expenditures.
Some OF the members of the committee
said that Assistant Secretary Vrooman' s
allegations consisted mainly of newspa-
per clippings. Mr.. Vrooman's friends say
however. that he has given to the COM
mittee the names OF witnesses who. il
called, will give interesting testimony.
