Wherever they get chance to hang

newly elected members of the House
many Of whom are already here.
Apparently, most of them thought
all they had to do was to step into a
sumptuous Office suite, but legally
they are not entitled to such accom-
modations until they have been sworn
in January 3. Those who can bunk
in" with some present occupant of an
Office are lucky, for most of the new
corners find themselves getting a cold
shoulder from Edward Brown, super
intendent Of the Office building. Brown
has no alternative.
Those who were members in the last
Congress are entitled to hold their Of
fees until the new Congress meets
A few have moved out, but Brown is
hoping they all will soon and that he
will not be compelled to evict any. AS
each retiring member moves out
Brown has the Offices cleaned and then
locks the door He hasn't enough
rooms for all of the 109 new members
and If he shows favor to any the
others would be after him.
Then, too members who served in
the last Congress have first choice on

BY the Associated Press.
An inquiry into the source Of gang
sters' machine guns was instituted
today by the Senate Munitions Com
mittee.
1t directed the Winchester Arms
Co. to report to the committee all
sales Of machine guns or parts Of
machine guns to other than govern
mental agencies.
The direction came from Chairman
Nye after the introduction of cor
respondence between the Winchester
Co. and others over the sale of ma
chine guns and gun barrels that could
be used for such weapons.
Edwin PugSley, vice president Of
the company, said his firm did not
manufacture machine guns or parts
Earlier the committee held another
executive conference with Col. c. T.
Harris of the Army TO work out how
to develop the story of America S
mobilization plan without disclosing
war secrets.
Nye said it was a question Of how
to study the War Department without
betraying knowledge of who is going
to provide this and who is going to
provide that"
He indicated a plan had been
worked out by which the committee
would guard military secrets without
hampering the inquiry.
The committee turned to q more
minute scrutiny of the plans-which
include per cent limit on supplies
profits and a voluntary censorship"
of the press in case of war-after
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri,
had suggested yesterday they should
be sent to Congress in peace time for
leisurely debate.
Under the Army plan, he protested,
the eight bills embodying the scheme
to mobilize the Nations resources
would be rushed to Congress to pass
under whip and spur" without con-
sideration
War Department witnesses replied
that the War Policies Commission be-
lieved certain legislation might be held
unconstitutional in peace-time but
legal III a war emergency.
Centers on Censorship.
Clark also centered on the censor
ship" plan to determine what degree
of control it contemplated. The plan
calls for an administrator of public
relations who would mobilize "all
existing mediums of publicity SO they
may be employed to the best pos
sible advantage"
He also would be charged with CO.
ordinating publicity, combating dis
affection at home and enemy propa-
ganda, establishing rules and regula-
tions for censorship" and "enlisting
and supervising a voluntary censor
ship of the newspaper and periodical
press"
Col Harris said he never heard of
a plan to license the press and Lieut..
E. E. Brannan said nothing more
than voluntary censorship was con-
templated.
