more States, and scores Of munich
palities and counties, today ap-
peaIed to Senator James A. Reed,
Democrat, of Missouri, to probe the
alleged use Of slush money in their
primaries.
From Connecticut came the .ap-
peal for another Senatorial cam
paign inquiry, which Reed declined
because Of the limited time before
election day.
From Oklahoma, came a request
for an investigation Of the Ku Klux
Klan's activity in the State cleo
tions, which Reed rejected for a
similar reason.
Reed announced he was anxious
to wind up the Indiana inquiry here
tomorrow although at least six wit
nesses have been summoned from
Indiana.
The Missourian also announced
he intended "either removing the
alleged facts from the domain OF
hearsay or showing that the testi-
mony produced was unfounded."
He said Senator Jim" Watson
of Indiana, who denied the charges
of Khan affiliations, could be rep
resented at the hearing by attor'
neys, who would be given the priVt-
lege Of cross-examfning witnesses
Watson telephoned Reed last
night that he had no criticism to
offer Of the manner In which Reed
conducted his inquiry.
