view, has said fiatly he is against
the appointment of any Senator to
the Investigating Committee who has
taken sides in the argument over
the T. " A. He would rule out, he
said, Senators Bridges, King, Norris
and himself as being in that category.
Presumably, therefore, this is the at
titude of the White House.
The proposed investigation of the
r. V. A. is the first congressional in
quiry of general scope into the opera
ton of a New Deal agency. The
Democratic leaders firmly closed the
door to demands for an investigation
of w. P. A. during the 1886 cam
paign. They have turned down more
recent demands for an investigation
of w. P. A.
Procedure Is Unusual.
To deny to members OF the Senate
places on investigating committees
after they initiated the proposals for
investigation Is procedure almost
unheard of. It was recalled yester-
day that during the Coolidge admin
lstration Democratic Sencsrs in
terested in the Teapot Dome oil
scandal served on the Investigating
Committee. with the late Senator
Thomas Walsh Of Montana as chief
inquisitor. That was on the eve of
the presidential campaign in 1924.
Another senatorial investigation, in
the Coolidge administration, probed
the activities of the Department of
Justice and the Attorney General,
Harry Daugherty, and was conducted
by Senator Wheeler Of Montana,
Democrat.

PARIS, March 26.-Communists to-
night proposed organization of nation
wide strikes as the best means OF

The Paris Communist party unit
declared in a letter to Paris metal
workers that the Senate's reaction

must be met by powerful demon
stration by the masses"
The Communist letter was consid-
cred by many labor leaders as an
open demand for strikes greater than
those of June. 1885, when an esti-
mated million and half workers oc-
cupied French factories.
1t came as rising tide of strikes
and Frances chronic financial troubles
put high obstacles in the government S
path.
Labor, fearful that the conflict be-
tween Premier Leon Blum's cabinet
and the conservative Senate majority
might mean an attempt to replace the
