cannery, located on Sixth Avenue

last summer were started on Aug

The cannery is now engaged in
packing green beans, and approx,
imately 500 bushels were on hand
at the cannery this morning. This
is a sufficient quantity to operate
the cannery during the remainder
of the week, Mr.. Miller said.
Packing of beans will require
about two weeks, Mr.. Miller said.
and during this period it is antlc-l
pated that approximately 5000
bushels of beans will be packed.
The purpose of the cannery,
Mr.. Miller said, is to take the sur.

The senate campaign investi-

to censure President Roosevelt II
he carries out his announced IN
tention of intervening in prlmar-
les on behalf of liberal candldat-
es. it was indicated last night.
The committee, two members
of which met yesterday, was rep
resented as feeling Mr.. Roose-
velt's political utterances are out
of its jurisdiction, especially
since his remarks usually are ad,

can not be construed as coercion
or undue influence.

plications of the presidents Fri

he called for a purge of polltlcaI
conservatives and said bluntty
that he would intervene IN state
contests where the future OF New

"a presidential speech to the
country at large is an entirely
different situation than that OF
Mr.. Aubry Williams deputy
works progress administrator
and does not come within our jur-
isdiction," Sen. Sheppard said.
"Mr. Roosevelt is entirely within
his rights"
The statement was understood
IN be an accurate reflection OF
committee sentiment. The group
was reported still divided, how
ever, over the remarks of Will

speech before the workers al

The committee is expected to
determine whether Williams's re-
marks come within the scope of a
senate resolution prohibiting par
ticipation of federal employees in
political activities.
Committee members previously
described Williams utterances as
unfortunate" but indicated that
no action would be taken. Yester-
day, however, Sheppard and
O'Mahoney began persuing a par

illustrators talk as prepared by
