MOODY FORCES
VICTORIOUS IN
FIRST BATTLE
Investigation Resolu-
ton Adopted by Vote
of l04 to 22; Fergu-
son Men Deserving

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 17.-(P)-
The first taut battle alignm snt on
the floor OF the special session Of
the Texas legislature broke Thurs
day with a victory for the forces
backing Dan Moody, when the house
by vote of 104 to % ordered n
sweeping investigation of state de-
partments. When the tide Of vic
tory for Moody's friends became ap-
parent. numerous representatives
who had supported Governor Miriam
A. Ferguson flopped against her.
The house ordered that COM
mittee of nine members, be named
by the SPEAKER to start its investi-
CATION, centering on the State High
way Commission, Text Book Com
mission and Board Of Pa-dons, after
adjournment OF the --erial session
and report to the fortieth legisla-
tura, which convenes r~xt January.
This action will throw the investiga-
tion under the incoming Moody re-
gime, whereas Governor Esrguson
had asked that the matter be taken
up during the present special ses-
sion.
Speaker Lee Satterwhite recently
asked Attorney General Moody for
an opinion on the legality of an in
vestigating committee appointed dur
ing the special session reporting TO
the following session Of the legis-
lature. Moody ruled that such ac-
tion was legal.
Political speculations here Friday
whilred about the personnel Of the
| investigating committee. Speaker Sat
terwhite will name the committee
early next week. H said he had as
yet given little consideration to the
personnel.
Among Moody leaders who are ex-
pected TO be given the most serious
consideration by the speaker for
committee places are, X. L. Bobbitt
Of Laredo, slated for the speakership
of the 10th session. and Alfred
Petsch Of Fredericksburg, leader Of
the investigation resolution pro-
ponents.
Members of the legislature after
meeting four days, returned home
