Challenge to Party 0p-

| Challenge to the democrats now in

| perpetrated in connection with gov
| eminent expenditures during the war
was made on the floor of the House
yesterday by Minority Leader Mann. he
! pledged that in the next session OF
| Congress the republicans who Will
| then come into power will throw the
| light of pitiless publicity on these
| rotten frauds, intelligent mistakes and
conscious actions"
| Mr.. Mann spoke while the House had
under consideration resolution for
I appointment of session clerks for vari-
Gus expenditures committees OF the
House. The list of these committees
did not include the names OF those on
expenditures in the war Departments
the Navy Department and public
buildings Representative Hastings
of Oklahoma. who had charge of the
resolution, explained that this was be-
cause the chairmen of these commit
tees did not appear before the COM
mittee on accounts and that commit
tee took it for granted they would not
have work requiring extra clerk hire.
Mr.. Mann said of all the committees
it seemed 10 him these three should do
more investigating at this time than
any others.
Il will say to the members on the
democratic side said Mr.. Mann, that
in the next Congress clerks for the
expenditures in the War Department,
Navy Department and public buildings
committees will be properly provided
for. because we know that in great
many places of the government there
have been rotten frauds, intelligent
mistakes and conscious actions.
why don't you cause the investiga-
ton now?'' Mr.. Mann shouted. Are
| you afraid of what you will find? Ger
tainly these Investigations should be
started now. You should not wait until
we come into control of the House
and be subject to the accusation of
partisan purpose. Throw the light of
publicity on some of these things that
have taken place"

COMMUNITY LAUNDRY
M|TTEEIS NAMED
Takoma Park Also Contemplates
Project for Purchasing Canned
Goods for Homes.

Convinced that a laundry run under
the cooperative plan for the beneft
of it's section of the city would be
both economical and convenient, the
Takoma Park Community Center ap-
pointed last night a special committee
to consider the feasibility of raising
funds for the construction of laun-
dry at a meeting at the Takoma Park
Library. Members feel confident that
the money can be obtained for the
purpose.
1t was stated that $4,000 would
cover the cost of the construction of
a building and the installation of the
necessary machinery.
So great has been the increase in
the population of Washington since
the beginning of the war that laun-
dries have been overtaxed. the result
being uncertainty in collections and
difficulties in the return of articles,
according to members. From an eco
nomical viewpoint. it is also pointed
out, community laundry would be a
money-Sayer.
