 on President Wilson

Washington, Jan. l7.-UP)--A wide open split in the senate muni- tions committee today threatened collapse of the two-year-old inquiry into the international arms traffic.

SECURITY BOARD
 HITS SALESMEN.
Members Just Get Down to Work When They
 Are Beset By Many
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN (WImfkAd 1praaa Gtafe f.Nrra@s.ns,Aant

United Press Staff CoFrespondent)
 Washington, January 17 = (UP) - The social security board discov- cred the high Pressure work today of some perculiarly foxy saleSmen trying to cash in on one of history'S major sociological experiments.
 Hardly had the board begun to set up the machinery designed to make old age comfortable and all jobs safe, when big-tine peddlers sought advantage from the New Deals social security program.
 The worst of these, according to Louis Resnick on the staff of Chair man John c. Winant, are g few distributors of complicated and ex- pensive bookkeeping systems. He said they are attempting - iwth con- siderable success = to foist the trick machinery and complicated index files upon American business. Their plea is based upon the statement that the equipment has been ap- proved by the board as the only means by which necessary records may be kept, Resnick charged.
 Approved None of Them
 The board has approved no sys- tems, no machines, and no patent indexes. Resnick, chief of the boards international service bu- reau," said none are necessary for employers to keep track of payroll taxes, which began January l.
 Even more serious is the effort of some employers to make the social security program the basis for pry- ing into the private affairs of their workers, Resnick said.
 Most large corporations already have sent to every employe list of questions to be answered in connec- ton with the operation of the pro- gram. Most of these questionnaireS seen by the board have been either unnecessary, or impertinent, he said.
 Concerning Questions
 The board has yet made no regu- lations concerning questions, but revealed unofflcially that the only information 1t needs to know about job holders are their respective ages total salaries, and length of em- ployment.
 Many large concerns have asked their workers numerous other ques- tions as to their nationality. martial status, previous jobs, reasons for changing employment, and the like.
 Resnick said workers would be justified in tossing such lists in the wastebasket unanswered.
 He said one of these question: naires obtained by the board con- tained 32 queries for each worker to answer, including one demanding to know whether he belonged to the company union or the American Federation of Labor.

ticipates in the committees pro- gram, issued a joint statement de- claring they believed the investiga- ton had "degenerated into an ate tack" upon Wilson.
 When Break Came
 The break came after Nye charged the wartime chief executive "falsi- fled" in 1919 when he claimed ignor- ance, when America entered the war, of the secret treaties drafted by the allies to change the map of Europe These agreements formed the basis of the treaty of Versailles after the war. Nye contends Wil- son was aware of them when he signed the declaration of war against Germany on April 6, 1917.
