FALSE, SAySG.0 0.P.
Jersey Republicans Declare
They Have Right to
Probe Sources.

Charges that reports published by
the Works Progress Administration
and Treasury Department concerning
w P, A. operations and expenditures
are incorrect and misleading" were
made in District Court today by former
Senator Walter E. Edge and three
other New Jersey Republican leaders
who are seeking a court order giving
them access to w. p. A. records.
The real issue, the Republicans told
the court in their reply to the w. P. A.
answer to their suit, is whether Of
fetal reports are correct and whether
those who challenge the truthfulness
of published information should have
a right to search the records to verify
it or prove it untrue.
They admitted practically all the
facts demanded have been published
from time to time in voluminous
tracts by w. P. A. and the Treasury,
but said they had reason to doubt the
accuracy of these reports.
Don't Want Personal Information.
Edge and his associates made plain
that they are not asking for personal
information concerning w. P. A. en-
ployes, which reasonably might be
withheld for the protection of the en-
ployes themselves, but that they want
the names and salaries of all ad-
ministrative workers.
There appeared to be little likelihood
that the litigation can reach the hear
ing stage before election. since the
w. P. A. now has five days in which
to come into court and either file a
demurrer or a joinder of issue, which
would result in hearing date being
set.
In an answer Monday to the suit by
the Republicans, w. P. A. had stressed
the necessity of protecting its person

Justice Oscar r. Luhring Of District
Supreme Court late today enjoinec

held that Federal regulation of the
distribution of milk-which involved
price -fixing-by the Agricultural Ad-

void the recent A. A. A. ruling in
creasing milk prices about l cent q

demned Woodring's action in permit

close to the hospital reservation en-

opposition of Gen. Wallace r. De Witt,

on q serious review of mounting in
dustrial earnings in general and other

statistical grounds for optimism in
the flood of company reports of the

l. September quarter earnings OF
172 companies in all branches of in
dustry showed combined net profits
of 1925, 1858, 400, an advance of 55.6
per cent over the $145.384383 earned

With newspapers and employers daily
calling the attention of the workers
to the coming pay roll tax. under the
Roosevelt social security law. the tax
promises to become a major issue in
the industrial centers Of the Nutmeg

was a plain statement Of the fact
that beginning January l one per
cent would be taken from the en-
ployes' envelopes or checks. 1t was
not put up as a political argument,
merely a statement Of fact. But the
Democratic leader was sorely incensed
over the notice which has gone to
all the roads employees. This is
merely a sample of what is being done
now by employers throughout the
State. To Democrats, who have been
counting as lin the bag" the votes
of labor throughout Connecticut as
we'll as other States, the pay roll tax
issue is as disconcerting as a red rag
to a bull. It brings an element oi
uncertainty into the campaign upon
what the Democrats had not reckoned
just to bring the matter of the pay
roll tax further home to the workers
