board last night made it plain that they
would welcome an investigation by Con-
gress of the charges made against the
board by Senator Jones on the floor oe
the Senate.
While refusing to discuss for publica.
ton any of the allegations made by tho
Washington Senator. who is co-author OF
the Jones-Works excise law, the exciss
omcials stated that they are prepared 10

charge, 1t was explained last night that
