investigators Follow New
Trails During Christmas
Holidays to Be Aired Later

Delving further into the under
cover campaign conducted by
members Of the Republican ma
tional committee against Senator
George w. Norris (R0 Of Ne
braska in the congressional cam
paign last year, the Nye investi-
eating committee will present
some sensational testimony to the
nation shortly after New Year. it
was predicted here today.
Republican ranks, already badly
disorganized as the result Of the
disclosures relating to Robert H.
Lucas, executive director Of the
Republican national committee,
and his personally financed"
anti-Norris fight, will be split wide
open by new evidence, it is said.
New Trails to Be Followed
Senator Norris, himself, is ex-
pected to point the committee to
some new trails which special In
vestigators will run down during
. the Christmas recess.
The extent to which the "POwer
Trust" cO-Operated with hidden
forces within the G. o. p. Organi-
xatiOn in trying to defeat the
! Nebraska SepatOr in both the
State primary and the by-electiOn
will be a sensational feature Of
the testimony the Nye committee
aims to get.
Rep. Fort to Be Called
Senator Nye said that Repre-
sentative Fort Of New Jersey
would be asked to appear after
Christmas to tell about sending
William e. Murray, Of Sterling.
H., into Nebraska, to make a
survey Of prohibition and Ad-
ministration policy sentiment in
connection with the Norris cam
paign. Senator Nye added:
1--WE cannot let this remain
half done. We intend tracing
transactions between former
Gov. Samuel r. McKeIvie Of Ne
braska in connection with the
anti-NOrris campaign" s...
j Gave Years Salary
, Mr.. McKelvie, now a member of
the Federal Farm Board, was re-
vealed as contributor to the
6tebbins primary campaign
against Norris last summer. TeS-
tifying before the Nye committee,
McKelvie said he had contributed
$4,000, which represented his
salary for a year as a member of
: the Farm Board. Only $2,850 Of
the amount was used.
Nye said bank records relating
to McKelvie and to Lucas would
be examined. Investigation of
Lucas accounts will include loan
. he negotiated to meet a printing
bill Of more than $4,000 which
covered items revealed before the
Nye committee as having been
ordered from the Fellowship
Forum, a Klan publication here.
Although the former Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue has
assumed full personal response
bility for the literature, de-
nOunced in the Senate as "scur.
FilOus, !" Senator Nye believes the
order may be traced to the Repub-
lican national committee, of which
Senator Fess of Ohio is chairman.
The progressive Republicans in
the Senate are planning to force
. "show down" with the Repub-
lican national committee and the
demand for the resignation Of
Mr.. Lucas as executive director
is the first step in their fight
for a complete reorganization Of
the committee. senators indicated
today. They hope to be able to
force the retirement of Senator
Fess (R0 of Ohio as chairman.
