alien PROPERTY
FRAUDS WILL Be
CAMP Align ISSUE
Seek Investigation of
Grating Officials

WASHINGTON, May 1s. - The ad-
RInlstratIon of the allen property Gus
kodIan's office since the close of the
war, with it's control of $5oo,ooo,0 900
worth of seized German and Austrian
holdings In America, may become an
important Issue In the 1928 campaign,
q appeared today.
Seek Investigation.
The indictment Of Former Attorney
General Harry M. Daugherty, member
OF both the Harding and Coolidge cabi-
nets, and of Col. Thomas w. Miller,
Hormer alien property custodian, on
charges of defraudtng the government
IN connection with the handling of
seized alien property has provoked a
growing demand among independent
republicans and democrats for a thoro
investigation Of the whole administra-
kion of the Office.
The ball was started rolling by Sem
ator William E. Borah, republican, of
idaho, who declared alien property had
been "embezzled and stolen to a very
remarkable extent" 1t was given a
push by Senator Norris, republican, of
Nebraska, leader of the so-called in
eurgent bloc, and kicked further on its
way by Senator King, democrat, of
Utah, who has led minority demand
Cor the last three years for an investi-
cation. Norris said the New York
indictments had only scratched the
surface"
Democrats Seek Company Issue.
The democrats believe they can
carry the 1898 election on a "clean
government" issue.
May Wait to 1928 Elections.
The inquiry probably will be de-
ferred until the next session of oon-
gress so that its revelations, If any,
win be fresh in the public mind when
the people go to the polls In 1928. At
the same time the subject of return
ing the seized property still held by
the American government will be
thoroly aired, as democratic opposition
already has blocked action on the
Mills bill, which the administration
sponsored this session, proposing an
American bond issue to pay off Ameri-
can claims against Germany while re-
turning German and Austrian prop
erty.
If the republican independents and
Insurgents revive their coalition with
the democrats, as now appears prob
able, the administration would be un-
able to block the inquiry.
Democrats In On Graft.
Administration leaders have not
voiced serious opposition to the pro-
posal yet, chiefly because they believe
the democrats would be smeared as
much as their own party if the inquiry
went back into the conduct of the
Office during the war and the last two
years of the Wilson administration.
