INQUIRY REQUESTS POUR
IN ON SENATOR KING
Building Situation Conference With
Maj. Gordon Is Put Over
Until Tomorrow.

Requests for an investigation of the
building and building material indus
try in this city are pouring into the
office of Senator King of Utah, it was
said today by the senator. Senator
King recently wrote to United States
District Attorney Gordon for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, suggesting that he
institute grand jury investigation of
conditions said to be apparent in this
city.
The conference which was to have
been held today between Senator King
and Maj. Gordon. in which the former
was going to lay before him informa-
ton collected by an investigator i'm a
preliminary survey of the industry. was
postponed until tomorrow morning.
The letters received by Senator King
come from many different sources and
ask him to press his requests for an
investigation and some of them express
the belief that it will show conditions
here which, If corrected, will result i'm
a lowering of the cost of materials
used in building as well as the cost of
construction.
