The three major inquiries

may extend over q period Of
many months, with the result
that little legislation is expected
in the present session or in the
short session next winter.
Action also may be sought In
the present session upon bills of
Senator Couzens and Represen-

to reorganize the Federal Power

out President Hoover's recommen-

measure are being made in both
Houses.
Action in Winter
While it is doubtful whether
the committee will act this SeS.
sion on recommendations of the
comptroller general for liheraliza-
ton of branch banking, efforts
will be made to secure action
next winter.
BY the time Congress convenes

FIGHTS TO HAVE
HER POSITION
RESTORED
Woman Claims Suppression
Of Evidence Desired ~
Senators on Power Trust

Another sensation was sprung
today in the tangled affairs Of
the Federal Power Commission,
reputed to be under the domina-
tion of the power trust"
Allegations Of the nutilation
and destruction Of important
files and letters, revealing the
close relationship said to exist
between certain employees Of the
commission and the power inter
eSts, have been set forth in
charges sent to Secretary of the
Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur.
Minnie l.. Ward, former file
clerk, makes the charges and she
duplicates F.. w. Griffith, chief
clerk of the commission and F..
e. Bonner, executive clerk, in
her accusations.
Charges Code Violation
She specifically charges Crit
fifth with a violation of the Grim
fnal code of the United States IN
that
ION or about the latter part
Of September, 1929, he wilfully
and ,unlawfully removed, con-
cea1ed, Inutilated, or destroyed
certain papers, documents, or let
ters, filed or deposited with the
file clerk, and more particularly
certain letters written by the
officials of certain power com.
panies, recommending F. E. Bon
ner for the position Of executive
secretary of the Federal Power
Commission, together with full
replies thereto.
"That r. w. Griffith similarly
removed, mutilated. or destroyed
certain letters written by the Of
ficialS of certain power compan-
les, recommending in 1925, Paul
S. Clapp for the position of exec
utive secretary of the Federal
Power Commission.
Mrs. Ward accuses F.. E. Bonner
of improperly administering the
affairs of the commission. She
declares he declined to "protect"
her from the alleged abuse to
which she was subjected by Grit
fifth.
t. Suspended March rs
Mrs. Ward was appointed file
clerk of the commission at. the
time of it's organization in 1920
and was suspended without pay
on March IS last. She alleges
her suspension was the climax
Of a long period of persecution by
Griffith, which she has reported
from time to time to the execu-
tive secretary, Mr.. Bonner, and
which the latter had declined TO
correct.
She declared in her brief that
the real purpose of the destruc-
ton of certain letters by Griffith
was to suppress evidence desired
by the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee, which from
time to time has investigated the
Vaccinations of the power
trust.''
Mrs. Ward wants to be restored
to her former civil service status
and has engaged Attorney Her
bert s. Ward, to fight her case.
