The President, It n learned upon the
highest authority, is considering the

Ask Investigation.
Senator GaIlinger. Of New Hamp-
shire, the Republican leader in the
Senate, introduced q resolution yes
terday to direct the committee on ex-
pendftures In the War Department to
inquire into the expenditure of appro-
priations already made for war pur-
poses The resolution is aimed di-
rectiy at the expenditures for air
craft and probably will have the ef-
feet Of forcing the hand Of the Senate
Of some agency Of the government into
making the investigation.
The committee selected by Senator
Gallinger in his resolution is one of
the few Republican committees of the
Senate, the chairman being Senator
Townsend, Of Michigan. Other Repub-
leans on the committee are Norris,
Of Nebraska, and Calder, of New
York The Democratic members are
Thomas, OF Colorado; Chamberlain,
OF Oregon; Williams, of Mississippi,
and James Of Kentucky.

examine officials of the Aircraft
Board next Tuesday, when they are
TO appear before the committee TO
explain the War Departments re-
quest for an additional appropriation
r for airplane purposes OF Sl.2OO. 900. 600
OF this huge sum the department mas
asked that 800 900. 900 be made imme-
diately available. This Is to AXE the
place of the deficiency appropriation
of the same amount which was pre-
sented to Congress several weeks ago.
Members of the Senate Military AZ
fairs Committee who attended the
meeting of the War Council az the
War Department yesterday said that
their inquiries at that meeting showed
that there has been no Improvement
In the aircraft situation. They de-
clare matters Of production are still
in an inchoate condition and rysSId
the possibilities of improvement neg
ligible unless there is a general re-
organization.
