IS HEARD

Committee entered actual negotia.
tions for the leasing Of the Gov.
ernment,s $3.50. 100000 project to,
day when it met with r. n. Hep
burn, New York construction ex.
pert, to discuss the terms under
which the property can be leased.
Hepburn was the first potential
bidder to be heard by the committee
All other individuals or Corporations
interested in leasing the Shoals
project will be given hearings, how
ever. before any attempt is made to
finally negotiate lease.
AS the terms, under instructions
from Congress, must be as good as
or better than those contained in
the original Henry Ford offer, mem.
bers OF the committee are hopeful
that the Detroit manufacturer Viii
renew his offer in a revised IoTMl.
4 general sentiment exists in Con-
gressional circles favoring a ease
of the property that it should he
turned over to Ford if the auto
king will meet the terms laid down
by Congress.
The committee has decided to en-
gage Maj. Gen. Lincoln Beach, re-
tired, former chief of army en-
gineers, to act as its technical ad-
wiser in negotiating a lease. He
was in charge of the construction
work during the latter days of his

With q wary eye turned toward
the November Congressional cleo
fions, the Senate this week viii
inaugurate three major investiga-
tons, delving into American busi-
ness, political and social cOndi-
ytions.
Prohibition, the tariff and the
New Jersey textile strike will
form the basis of the investiga-
tions but their ramifications nm
doubtedly viii reach into every
activity Of American life.
Under the prohibition and textile
inquiries, the home life and social
habits of the people will be in
vestigated; under the tariff and
strike inquiries, their business af-
fairs viii be probed; and in all
three, politics will run its course.
Inquiry Into Red Activity
The Senate Judiciary Committee
met today to approve the prohobi-
Tariff Committee win meet tofnor-
row to adopt a program of public
hearings. while the manufacturers
committee viii meet in day or
two to give perfunctory approval
to the investigation of the textile
strike.
The latter inquiry, proposed by
Senator La Toilette Rep) of Wis
, consin, may prove to be the sur
prise of the Sixty.ninth Congress.
owing to provision calling for
an investigation of the charges of
New Jersey mill owners that COM
munists excited the Passaic strike.
Under this authority and at the
insistence of Senator Edge Rep.l
of New Jersey. the investigation
may go thoroughly into the subject
OF communist propaganda in the
United States and its influnece upon
American labor.
Edge charged the communists
We're using the Passaic strike as a
mask to preach overthrow OF the
American government =
AT La Follette's instance. the in
duiry also would go deeply into the
subject OF wakes and living condi-
lions in the textile industry.
AS comparisons undoubtedly would
have to be drawn. this phase might
easily lead the investigation clear
through the structure of the ma
tion's economic life.
The possibilities of such an in
quiry can be left to the imagination.
The tariff investigation mean
while will be . strict party affair
between Republicans and Demo
Gratis.
A significant political aspect of
this investigation will be the Sen
ate's instruction to learn whether
President Coolidge or any other
high Government official has al
tempted to influence the decisions cf
pf the United States Tariff Conn
mission.
The wet and dry fight will be
earried out before a Judiciary sub
committee at public hearings on
proposals TO modify the national
prohibition law
There vii! be no party lines in
this Battle, but the vets hope TO
lay the basis for "A national cam
paign for modification in 1929.
The hearings meanwhile will be
used by the vets 10 prove that
prohibition turned the American
people Into law-defying nation. and
by the drys to demonstrate just
the opposite.
