Investigators Angered
Because Quiz Was
Made Public

The House District Committees
investigation" Of the District Re.
formatory at Lorton blew up in
smoke today when it was decided
that the probe be indefinitely
postponed"
It was learned, however, that
indefinite postponement means
that the inquiry either will be
dropped entirely or will not be
taken up until the next session Of
Congress.
The decision was made follow
ing considerable controversy
among committee members after
the details Of the investigation
we're made public by a member
Of the investigating subcommittee.
When committee member sew.
eral days ago revealed that the in.
quiry was being made and gave
details Of the Investigations, Rep
reSentative Mary T. Norton CD
Of New Jersey, chairman Of the
District Committee, became indig-
nant. She said:
Members Of the committee
had agreed not to say anything
about this investigation until It
was entirely concluded. / was
surprised when I saw the papers
carrying stories telling about
what was going on in connection
with this inquiry.
81 had not even been informed
Of as much IS the fact that the
subcommittee appointed to con-
duct the Investigation was doing
any work. I think whoever gave
that information to the press
certainly should have told me,
as chairman Of the committee,
about it, before making it pub
lic."
Representative William r.
Schultz CD of Indiana, chairman
of the subcommittee conducting
the investigation, had planned to
call before his subcommittee to-
morrow several District officials
connected with local penal insti-
tutionS to question them in re-
gard to complaints of graft and
politics at the Lorton Reform
atory.
He also had planned to have
members of the subcommittee go
to Lorton to make a personal in
Spection Of the institution. All
this, however, has now been con-
celled.
