Senate Committee to Open Nashville
Hearing Today.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, October Is Nl.-
C. C. Barnard, special investigator for
the Senate Campaign Funds Investigat-
ing Committee, said yesterday that
about 20 witnesses had been summoned
to appear before the committee at a
hearing here today.
Andrew l.. Todd of Murfreesboro, who
made an unsuccessful campaign against
Representative Cordell Hull in the Au-
gust Democratic primary for the United
States senatorial nomination, today
made public a letter he had written to
Chairman Gerald P. Nye of the COM
mittee in which Mr.. Todd said his own
campaign expenditures exceeded the
$4,000 limit set by State law.
He said that his report of expendi-
lures filed a few days before the
primary was consistent with the facts
at that time" but that his campaign
manager had not filed the report re-
quired 80 days after the balloting.
Mr. Todd said he did not desire to
be the only candidate reporting an
excess of $4,000 when it is common
talk that certain other candidates in
this primary spent sums largely in ex-
cess of said amount; nor did / care to
file report not consistent with the
facts"

DINA Inquiry.
~ tho Assoc,ated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ASHEVILLE, N. c., october 15.-The
Senate Campaign Funds Investigating
Committee yesterday slapped the stamp
of acuuittal on the major charge against
the North Carolina primary-that Of the
use of large sums of money from outside
sources.
Winding up two days of inquiry with
a brief hearing here, Senator Gerald p.
Nye, Republican, Of North Dakota,
chairman of the committee, said there
was no evidence to substantiate such a
charge.
May Probe Illegal Voting.
He indicated there might be further
inquiry into the primary, but that it
would be limited to investigation of
charges of illegal voting and of the
amounts spent by county committees in
behalf of senatorial candidates. The
latter amounts are not reported to the
Secretary of State, and under North
Carolina precedent have never been in
cluded in the $4,000 maximum liTtta-
ton placed upon senatorial candi-
dates expenditures.
At the end of the hearing here Sem
ator Nye and Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner, Democrat, New York, left for Nash
vile, Tenn, where they will begin
an investigation of the Tennessee
primary. Senator Roscoe G. Patterson,
Republican, Missouri, third member of
the committee to come to North Caro-
lima, left for Washington.
"Slush Fund" Check Reported.
A report of big check" being sent
to Asheville from out of the State in
furtherance of Josiah w. Bailey's cam
paign for the Democratic senatorial
nomination brought the committee
here.
The committee members did not re-
veal the amount of the reputed "Slush
fund" check, but G. Lyle Jones, mana
ger of Bailey's champaign in Buncombe
County, testified there had been rumors
here that one for $25, 900 had been re-
ceived by a bank here and distributed
among Bailey's supporters. He denied

VAST THRONGS JAM
ALEXANDRIA ROADS
Washington Parade Spectators
Require Two Hours to
Return to D. G.

Traffic damned all roads leading to
Alexandria yesterday afternoon and
more than two hours were required to
reach that city before the parade or re-
turn to Washington after the affair had
been concluded.
Alexandria, Virginia State and county
police and 20 Washington officers strove
vainly to keep traflc moving, but were
only partially successful. Many auto
lists, realizing the traffic jams they
would face returning to Washington
after the parade, came back to this city
by a circuitou5 route and over Key
Bridge
The head Of the jam occurred at the
south end of Highway Bridge after the
parade, with automobiles from both the
upper and lower roads blocking the
highway for miles. Many were required
to wait at this point for more than an
hour before they could get across the
bridge.
The condition Of the River road to
Alexandria. which Is under construction,
but temporarily open to traffic, added to
the road jam, as the sides Of this road
are impossible for about miles be-
cause OF excavating that has been done
IN preparation for widening the Airing
ton County portion Of the road.
Troops, Army trucks, Cavalry, Artil-
lery and other military units, passing
over the lower road after disbanding
from the parade, also added to the con-
down on the way, temporarily blocking
the road.
The need for the new Mount Vernon
boulevard and the widening of the
River road was shown by the traffic
conditions today
