SABOTAGE is INCLUDED
IN WIDE SENATE PROBE
Hearings Planned in General
Move to Rid Country of
Disloyalists

\ congressional investigation of the
scope and sources of millions of dollars
worth Of damage done by sabotage
since the outbreak OF the war.
This was the plan today Of a subcom-
mittec of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, which has before it Il bill TO punish
severely those who interfere with the
work of the war The investigation will
be based upon an amendment TO the
original act, presented by Senator King
of Utah. This Pilendment provides
heavy penalty for those VINO advise or
communicate methods of sabotage
Hearings arc planned and witnesses
will be called by the subcommittee ana
the committee will go deeply in the work
of destruction which has been done hy
German sympathizers. II vii! be the
purpose of the committee TO attempt 10
search out the sources Of sabotage ana
learn if possible whether there Is any
organized effort in this direction In the
United States. Members OF the com
mittee who have the matter to deal WIN
are Senators Overman. of North ,aro-
lima; Shields, OF Tennessee, and Ster-
ling. of South Dakota.
This is but Il step in general moN
under way in Congress 20 sweep the
country of all disloyaiists OF eNSrE
character and to wipe out all possible
breeding places Of disloyalty.
It is expected that the irst ac'
in this direction by Congress. as a
whole, will be the revocation of the Ma
tional German American Alliance char'
ter Hearings on this matter are Nir'
tually completed. Ii is believed a GER
tainty that the subcommittee will re-
| port favorably on the bin to revoke the
charter. No charges of disloyalty WI
be made against the alliance, but 1t VII
be cOntended that because of the pas
character and activities Of the orGani
zation it cannot be of assistance to the
nation and 1t offers a seat for unres
and dissatisfaction.
Congress is being flooded with pro
tests against the leniency with whicl
pro-Gcrmans have been dealt with
. There is an organized movemen
throughout the country TO deal NOR
. effectively with those who attempt e
interfere with war work of the nation
This is apparent from the number o
kilograms received each day by th
members Of Congress urging quick leg
islaton to stamp out the disloyalty.
