By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

The spreading revolt against use
of relief funds for political puF
poses today threatened to provoke
a congressional inquiry, even II
Congress fails to force reinstats-
ment Of Maj. Gen. johnson Ha-
good to the Eighth Corps COM
mand he lost for criticizing WPA
expenditures as wasteful.
Hagood'S immediate fate rested
in the hands Of Representative
McSWain I'D of South Carolina
chairman of the House Military
Affairs Committee. It was to this
committee that the Mcleod reso-
luton, proposing that Congress
ask President Roosevelt to rein
state Hagood, was referred. II
McSwain should launch a vigor-
Gus fight in behalf of the resolu-
ton, observers feel it could win
House approval.
WPA Under Fire
Administration of WPA funds,
meanwhile, was under sharp critj.
cism in Michigan, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia. Administrs-
tion leaders were fearful the row
would involve other States.
Senator Rush D. Holt CD Of
West Virginia charged WPA funds
were being used to build UP a
Democratic political machine in
his State.
Former Gov. Clifford Pinchot
and Senator Vandenberg CRD Of
Michigan were leading the attack
on use of WPA funds in the Key
stone State for political purposes.
Representative Prank E. Hook
CD Of Michigan. meanwhile,
charged WPA funds were being
used in Michigan to help Repub-
lican politicians.
Senate Rejects Plea
It was for criticizing WPA ex.
penditures as waSteful that Gen.
eral Hagood lost his command.
His friends in House and Senate.
charging his punishment was an
act OF terrorism and suppression
of free speech. have continuously
demanded his restoration to his
old command.
An inquiry into his removal was
sought by Senator Jesse II. Metcah
CR.) Of Rhode Island, but his reso-
luton was voted down by the Sen.
ate Military Affairs Committee.
Metcalf planned to carry the fight
to the floor of the Senate but ap-
parently was doomed to defeat.
The committee, in adversely re-
porting his resolution. held PreSi.
dent Roosevelt personally re-
sponsible for Hagood'S removal,
and held Congress could not in
veStigate army discipline unless
it ccnflicted with the Articles Of
War.
This left the resolution of Rep
resentative Mcleod (R.) of Mich.
igan, asking the President to re-
store Hagood, as the only chance
for congressional intervention,
Mcleod announced he would press
for action on it by the House
Military Affairs Committee. which
McSwain heads McSwain already
has made one personal appeal to
the President in Hagood's behalf
but without effect.

His advisers later, however, persuaded him to modi- fly it, and under the revised plan any one with an independent in- come of more than $200 a month was not to get anything from the plan, while those with indendent incomes of less than that were to receive only the difference. This revision was important pol itically. But when Dr. Townsend gets an idea, he holds on to it. He has now forgotten or repudiat ed this sagacious revision. After his plan has been bombarded by two years of annihilating criti- cism, he is still convinced that it has no kind of fault or flaw. His followers, more fickle, alas. are away.

 The testimony that Dr. Town send has been giving tells noth- ing about the plan that critics had not already pointed out. It was obvious that universal transactions tax would have to affect the farmer as well as every body else, and that such tax could not be collected without endless red tape and an army of snooperS. When Dr. Townsend admitted that under his plan a Workingman with a family and gross income of S1,500 would have to pay the taxes so that a single man over 50 with an in come of $500 would receive  5000 additional he merely con- ceded an implication that had long been clear to the unSym- pathetic.
