Start MOUe to
End Probes by
the Congress
Anti-In6esrigatiOn Blocs Pro
posed to Stem Tide of Use
less Queries.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-As Congress
continues to display willingness to in
vestigate anything from the price of tin
horns to the transportation puzzle, there
is talk on Capitol Hill that "anti-investi-
cation blOcs" may be formed in both
Houses to combat further inquiries I'M
less they seem TO be of extreme impor-
lance and it is showing that some benefit
may be derived from them.
Congressional investigation, leading
often to nothing more than voluminous
reports fled away in the archives Of the
Capitol. have been the subject Of severe
criticism for many years, but Cong ress
goes merrily along, probing into this and
that, as it has done for more than a CEN
tury.
These official inquiries are expensive,
the cost of single investigation some
times running into several thousand dol
lars. In many cases 1t has been necessary
for members of investigating committees
to conduct hearings in various parts OF
the country. and ii is a usual thing to
make provisions for such trips when
resolutions authorizing inquiries are pre-
scented in the Senate or House. Steno-
graphic reports OF all testimony heard
by the Investigators are always printed
for the use Of Congress and anyone in
rerested in the results Of its Iabors, but
I nmost cases the printed documents sue
coed in accomplishing nothing more than
gathering dust and turning yellow with
age.
1t is true that many of these investi-
cations have proved to be worth while,
especially when they were followed up
by legislation designed to correct or les
sen the evils which It was sought to IN
cover.
A considerable number Of Senators and
Representatives have surveyed the sit
uation. however. and have come to the
conclusion tina tit might be Well to put
a dsmper on superfuous Investigations in
order that the st1ntion of Congress
might not be diverted from the serious
business Of making the country's laws.
Despite this growing feeling it is re-
garded as unlikely that any reduction in
the number Of senatorial or congress
slonal probes can be expected in the near
future because it is nearly always pos
sibie to assemble enough votes in either
branch Of Congress 10 get an affirmative
decision on the question ito probe or not
to probef" when IL comes to a showdown.
During the present session Of Congress
called for the purpose Of revising the in
ternal revenue laws and passing new
tariff bill, the Senate and House have in
vestigated or are now in the midst of
inquirtng into the railroad problem. the
/ agricultural situation, the mine war in
West Virginia. the escape Of Grover Cleve-

sun of Sorrento would make him fit and
that this fall would see him back on the

his voice ringing as clearly as ever.
With his wife and little daughter,
Gloria, he was taken to his splendid

His voice was clear and the tones

Caruso was satisfied that he was win

delighted.
Then one day there came a twinge OF
pain. Caruso fought it off. His pny-
sicians watched carefully and with some
anxiety but the tenor laughed at them.

His relapse was sudden and unexpected
especially in view Of the fact that he
had been feeling unusually well and that
he believed he had regalned his voice.
Only a week ago he received a visit
from the celebrated tenor Montesani and
