National Security
League Inquiry
Associated Press Service !:

Associated Press Service:
CHICAGO. Feb. THE con-
gressional committee investigating
the National Security league con-
cluded its hearing l., Chicago today
and adjourned to meet in Washing
ton.
Today's witnesses were Willet NJ.
Spooner, secretary of the Milwaukee
branch Of the league; August H. vo-
gel, president of the Milwaukee
branch; Peter S. Lambros. Chicago.
member Of the committee of the
Chicago branch which investigated
into the qualifications of certain
congressional candidates last fall.
and Edgar a. Bancroft, chairman OF
the executive committee of the Chi
cago branch.
The gentlemen from Milwaukee
testified that the league in their city
adopted a resolution in 1916 bind
ing the league to steer absolutely
clear of politics and adhered scrupu-
lousy TO that covenant.
The allegation Of members of the
congressional committee that the
acid test chart Of the New York
branch of the Security league was
unjust received some support in an
individual opinion ELECTED from Mr..
Bancroft. Whereas the chart
sketched eight war measures on
which the congressman, according
10 the chart, voted right" or
wrong" as viewed by the chart
makers and on the face Of ii gave
the vote on each measure equal
value, Mr.. Bancroft thought the
vote as test of loyalty became
more and more important as the
United States drew closer 10 war.
He had seen the chart before, he
said, and regarded It only as an in
dex which might guide investigat-
ors who cared to pursue the subject.
