Accused Senator Thayer Is Very Liable to Get
 "Whitewashing"

Albany, N. Y., April G.-CUP)- Infuriated by the defeat of two major bills in his public utility re- form program, the usually soft spoken Governor Herbert H. Leh- man to-day shook figurative fist at legislative opponents and de- clared q war to the finish against them.
 At the same time Lehman indi- cated he would move vigorously to block the restricted legislative in- vestigation into the alleged rela- uonship between Senator Warren T. Thayer and the Associated Gas x Electric company while Thayer reigned as chairman of the senate public service committee.
 Declaring that a limited inquiry would be merely q. gesture for the purpose of misleading the pub lic," the governor reiterated his demand that the investigation not be confined to Thayer but embrace the whole utility situation. Others said the proposed investigation would be "white- wash"
 The bills defeated would have permitted municipal ownership and operation of utilities, and allowed the public service commission to assess the cost of rate investiga- tions against the utility companies. A group of democratic senators joined with republicans in beating the measures by close votes.
 Lehman, who deserted the bank ing business for political office five years ago, said he would get those bills enacted substantially in their present form 'if it is humanely possible to do so."

Chicago, April 6-tUP)-The Chicago Bar association today awaited replies from two Chicago attorneys to charges preferred by Secretary of Interior Ickes alleg- ing a b1ackmail plot with the gov- ernonship of the Virgin Islands as demanded payment.
 Ickes has asked that the attor- neys, Lucius J. M. Malmin, former federal judge of the Virgin Islands and c. W. Larson, be disbarred. The full text of the interior secre- tary's charges was made public last night.
 MaImin and Larsen are accused of threatening to discredit Ickes and embarrass President Roosevelt by public reflections on Ickes' con- duct of an estate case.
 Ickes' charges included an i'm plication that Malmin has only re- gently acquired considerable funds and influence and that someone may be financing him in his latest attack upon a member of the ad- ministration."
 Ickes' charges were preceded with an account of his conduct of 8, case involving the settling of an estate for pr Roland P. Saunders, Chicago, in 1928.
 Tt was also about the time that the newspapers announced my se- lection for the cabinet that Nal min appeared in my office. He handed me his card and announced that he was to be the next gov ernor of the Virgin Islands" the complaint said.
