HEARST INQUIRY.
PLAN REFUSED

A request from the National
Education Association meeting at
Atlantic City that the Senate
munitions investigation commit
tee conduct a probe into the
Hearst publications for alleged
"war propaganda" met with curt
disapproval from Senator Nye,
chairman Of the committee, yes
terday.
Although Senator Nye said he
would place the educators reso-
luton before the committee, he
quickly followed with the query:
"What is there to investf'
gate?"
Referring to Mr.. Hearst as
"even more liberal than any com
mittee member in advocating con-
troll of munitions manufacture"
Mr.. Nye added:
"There is no reason to queS-
tiOn the motives Of Mr.. Hearst
just because he advocates pre-
paredness. If it were indicated
he were using war propaganda
to encourage the sale Of NUM-
tiOns in which he has an inter.
est, he Certainly would be inves-
tigated. We would have inveSti-
gated him long before this II
that had been the case.
"Any statement that I would
ask the committee to make an
investigation of Mr.. HearSt'S pre-
paredness advocacy obviously is
false, because we have COM
pleted the days meeting and I
have made no such request.
Nor do 1 intend to make such q
request"

"Partnership"

PITTSBURGH, March 1 GIN.
SO.-The three-million dollar in

w. Mellon and the Government
he served as Secretary of the
Treasury for II years recahed a
listless stage today with a recital
of vast property holdings Of the
financier.
From Mr.. Melons confidential
secretary, Government Counsel F..
R. Shearer learned holdings in a
joint account of the former
Cabinet member and his brother,
the late Richard B. Mellon, had
a net worth of more than $20,00O.-
900 in 1881. The joint account
showed these holdings included
two Pittsburgh hotels and at least
81 blocks of real estate in this
city.
This joint account has become
an important factor in the pro-
ceedings which Mr.. Mellon hopes
will bring him a refund of $780,
045 on his 1881 income tax. The
Government claims he took 'fic-
titious" losses and wants 3d..
089,261 in additional taxes and
penalties.
To prove its contention, the
Government has gone into the
Joint account with the inten-
ton of showing it actually was
a partnership between "A. W."
and "R. B." If successful, coun-
sci will argue Mr.. Mellon was
entitled to deduct only half of
the $6,00O,00O loss he claimed
on Pittsburgh Coal Company
stock in 1881.
Many other losses have been
claimed by Mr.. Mellon on trans.
actions involving this joint &C.

BY THOMAS WALKER

About 20 miles south OF kleV'
I came upon a village that was
practically extinct by starvation
There had been IS houses in
this village and a population OF
4O-odd persons.
Every dog and cat in the vii
lage had been eaten.
The horses and the oxen had
all been appropriated by the
Bolsheviks to stock the collective
farms.
In one hut they were cooking
a mess that defied analysis. There
were bones, pig-weed, skin, and
what looked like a boot top in
this pot. The way that the re-
manning half dozen inhabitants
eagerly watched this Shiny mess
showed the state Of their hunger.
One boy of about IS years
whose face and arms and legs
were simply tightly drawn skin
over bones, had a stomach that
was swollen to twice its normal
size, He was an orphan, his
father had died of starvation one
month before, and he showed me
the body.
The boy had covered the body
with straw, there being no SHOW
els in the village since the last
raid of, the GPU. ,
He stated that his mother had
gone away one day searching
for food, and had not returned.
This boy wanted to die-he
suffered intensely with his
swollen stomach and was the
only one of the group who
showed no interest in the pot
that was being prepared.
