innate graft tie-up between New

corporations and members of the
state legislature and senate, was
seen here today in the proposal that
a special investigating committee be
granted an initial sum of $3.50 900
for the purpose of undertaking a

turned in mot later than Feb. Is,

This proposal, which has the
backing of Governor Lehman, plans
the usual sweeping investigation
SO costly to the masses of the state,
which rarely results in more than
the replacement of one set of
grating officials with another
equally grating group. Resolutions
for this investigation have been

This investigation, it was declared,
would have nothing to do with the
individual probe of the doings of
Senator Warren T. Thayer, who
was on the payroll of the big utili-
ties interests at the same time that
he was supposedly acting as impair
tial chairman of a Senate Utilities
