was one Of q. number Of instances
Of administration terrorism" "
Metcaf said in pressing his de-
mand for q Senate inquiry into
the custer:
'Mere restoration Of this
noted officer to his former post
IL mot enough. The country is
entitled to know whether the
Administration has embarked
upon a program of terrorism
and suppression of free speech.
This can be determined only by
q wholesome investigation. Re
storing General HagOOd to Of
flee would be q mere white
washing Of the affair"
BIantOn Charges Tsmpering
Byrnes and Blanton, in charg-
ing Hagood had been treated un-
Justly, pointed out he had asked
the House Appropriations Com
mittee to suppress his testimony
when he found it conflicting with
the Presidents budget recommen-
dationS. They said he had teSti-
fled before the Presidents budget
message became public.
Blanton further charged the
record of Hagood's testimony had
been tampered with to indicate
the officer made q stump
speech" to the committee, where
as he had merely answered ques-
tions. Blanton revealed all the
questions had been deleted from
the record. AS a result. he added,
'sHagood was put on the spot"
Blanton also revealed that Major
Gen. Hugh A. Drum and Major
Gen. Paul B. Malone, two other
corps commanders, had sharply
criticized WPA expenditures. Their
testimony, however, did not appear
in the committees records. Blan-
ton added:
"a stenographer wouldn't dare
take down what / said about
such expenditures or what was
said by General Drum or Gen.
eral Malone. We were only dis
Cussing the WiSeSt way to get the
most for our money from Army
appropriations. General HagOOd
was put on the spot by cur COM
mittee. If any one should be
punished, it is our committee"
Meanwhile, Administration lead
ers were opposing any inquiry on
Capitol Hill. They believed the
outcome of an investigation would
reflect either upon the President
or on Secretary of War Dern. So
they opposed it as unnecessary" "
Await Hopkins Report
They also awaited with some
qualms reports from Relief Ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins, on his
inquiries into charges of political
terrorism" in the handling of
WPA matters in Pennsylvania and
west Virginia. Senator Vanden-
berg (R9 of Michigan, charged
Harry w. Fee. Democratic county
chairman at Indiana, Pa, had
tried to force political contribu-
tionS from relief workers. Senator
Holt CD of West Virginia,
charged the WPA in his State
was being used as a political
agency. Hopkins reports may stir
up fresh controversies.

90 out Of 104 Republicans believO
Governor Landon is. the best
candidate the Republican National
Convention can name.

planned, refused to make public
statements at this time because
of primary fights in their home
States or until sentiment among
party leaders back home has been
disclosed.
other friends of Governor Lam
don asserted that the poll is exc
tremely significant because the
Republican House members have
been through the mill Of cam
paign battles and because they
represent all shades Of party
opinion.
The Landon poll was expected
to arouse especial interest because
two House Republican, Repre-
Sentatives Bertrand H. Smell and
James Wadsworth of New York,
have been mentioned as PreSiden-
tial timber and Representative
Fish (R.) of New York Is backing
Senator Borah.
Mr.. Guyer asserted that Gov

imagination of Congress as well
as of the country by balancing
the State budget and reducing
taxes.
