P. ]. DEPARTMENT
 IS ID INVESTIGATE
Will Take Up Charges Against
 Congressman

Washington. April a7 tP-Charges that the congressional franking privilege of Representative McClin- tic. democrat, Oklahoma, had been violated by Frederick J. Libby. eNe- cuilve secretary of the National Council for the Prevention of War; will be investigated by the post of flee department
 The house naval committee, of which McClintic is a member, re- quested the departmental inquiry after it had decided not to go Into the matter itself.
 Although the national council has denied it violated the franking priv ilege and has joined with McClintic in demanding an investigation, the letter requesting the post office 10 look into the charges. sent on behalf of the naval committee by Repre- sentative Andrew, republican,, Mas sachusetts, said the inquiry was de- sired in view of the misuse ''indi- cated in the affidavit and accom- panying documents"
 The name of Harold NJ. Weeks, of Wellesley Hills, Mass, was signed to the affidavit, which was to the eff feet that he had received in an un- stamped envelope bearing McClin- ties frank a report opposing the new warship construction program favored by the Oklahoma member, which was frankable, and five other documents not accorded this maNng privilege.
 These documents were outlined by Andrew as a letter on the station- cry of the Libby organization ap- pealing for $100,00o to further the national councils work, ;t subscrip- ton card, a return envelope, a pamphlet. explaining the counclis stand, and another pamphlet con- taining the names of it's officers and appealing for assistance in it's cam paien.
 The committees action came after a row on the house floor yesterday during which McClintic referred to Andrew as Q "snooper" and said he had welcomed the investigation be- cause he knew il would force the 'rattlesnakc' to show it's head. The Oklahoman later withdrew these re- marks when Cramton, republican. Michigan, objected and substituted "the member who had resorted to questionable procedure.'
 Cramton regarded this language as still "pretty strong,' but allowed NcClintic 10 continue. The latter offered 10 pay the railroad fare of bis accuser to Washington so they could be broug-. t face to face on the issue,
 Andrew was defended by Repre- sentative Woodruff, republican, Michigan, and Vinson, democrat Georgia, who said the Massachusetts member had at no time accused Mc- Clintic as being responsible for the alleged mailing infraction.
