Congress- NAV Investigate
Its Own Law Breaking

Washington, June 4.-Congress pro-
poses to investigate itself.
Professedly shocked by disclosures
of local newspaper purporting to
show use of liquor in the house office
building in "dry" territory, members
were demanding an investigation. The
newspaper printed a picture of twenty
nine "emptiesn which it said came
from a barrel in the lavatory of the
fourth floor of the office building. 1t
carried quotes of ianitors and others
tending to show that a collection of
"dead soldiers daily in that region
was not uncommon.
Prohibition people attempted to
make the picture and story appear a
plant by the vets.
1t has been common gossip here that
some congressman though voting for
dry measures, "got theirs in the way
of liquid goods even though the town
is dry and importation from adjoining
cities more or less restricted.
Some congressional leaders professed
to be shocked at the insinuations Of
the newspaper and elamored for a
probe.

Failure to Create Reign Of
Terror In American Ship
ping Circles Apparent
SECRETARY DANIELS
WILL NOT CHANGE PLANS
Thoroughly Organized U-BOai
Hunt Is Under Way All
Along Coast
By Carl d. Groat

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, June 4.-Germany has
failed to gain any military advantage
from her spectacular U-boat raids off
the American coast.
If she intended to terrorize the Am.
erican mind she has failed likewise to
accomplish that.
These two facts stood out in bold
relief today in the wake of the star
ling news that TcutoR U-boats had
been operating since May 25 off our
coast, bagging probably twelve or more
vessels of various types, but missing
any cargo or troop transports.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels was
authority for the flat statement that
American naval strength abroad would
not be diverted to home chores because
of the foray. Germany, he suggested,
wanted strongly to dent the American
lineup abroad so she perhaps could un.
dertake important naval actions over
there.
