use of the w. P. A. influence IN Demo-
cratic primaries brings demand from
a large block of Democrats that an
inquiry be held. The charge has been
made in Florida, in Pennsylvania and
now in Iowa that the w. P. A. has
been active in the support of admin
istration candidates for Democratic
nominations.
When Mr.. Hopkins. the head OF the
w. P. A., jumped into the Iowa prl-
mary fight to beat Senator Gillette
there was no longer any doubt in the
minds of many of the Senators that
the w. p. A. was being used for politi-
cal purposes.
It had already been rumored that
Senator King was to offer his resolu-
ton for a special committee to inves-
tigate the w. P. A. when the Barkley
resolution for a special campaign in
vestigating committee was called up.
In aome quarters It was held that the

crat Mr.. Ickes is another great

The latest direct move in the Hop

PRODUCTION yesterday of resolution
by Senator King, Democrat, OF Utah
calling for appointment of special
committee of three to investigate the
administration of the w. P. A. and
particularly all charges of political
activity.
Senator Barkley of Kentucky, DEM
ocratic leader of the Senate, sought
to forestall this move Friday after
noon. when he obtained the passage
of a resolution creating the usual
senatorial campaign investigating COM
mittee. Under the terms of the reso-
luton the investigating committee is
empowered to go into all campaign
contributions and the "use OF any
other means of influence. including
the promise of patronage, or use OF
any public funds"
This language was INSERTED in the
resolution providing for senatorial
campaign investigating comnejttee in
1896. At that time Republican aehas
tors charged that W. P. A. funds were
used for political purposes. During
that campaign. many charges of politi=
cal activity by the w. p, A, wefe

Charles Nicholson. publicity director
for the Democratic National Commit
tee, said yesterday Pennsylvania, Ala
bama, Florida and Oregon had testi-
fed to their faith in the New Deal
policies" in recent primary elections.
The administration political strate-
gist took sharp issue with contentious
that the size of the total Republican
vote in Pennsylvania indicated a
certain G. o. P. victory there next
November
According to the same logic" Mr.
Nicholson said in his weekly public
letter, the situation in Pennsylvania
in 1886 was six times as certain an
index of Gov. Landon's election to the
presidency, for in that year the Re-
publicans registered 100000 more than
the Democrats. And yet when the real
votes came to be counted on election
day, Roosevelt's vote topped that of
the Governor of Kansas by 100000
Mr.. Nicholson said "a of the 26
sitting Democratic Congressman from
Pennsylvania-"al New Dealers -
had been renominated, and that the
other two were succeeded by nominees
who campaigned successfully on the
issue of loyalty to the national ad-
miniStration.
Coming to Oregon" he continued.
"we discover that an ardent New
Dealer. Henry L. Hess. has defeated
Gen. Charles H. Martin, the incumbent
Governor, who attacked various New
Deal measures"
Touching upon the Democratic
factional fight in Pennsylvania between
c. l. o. leaders and the State party
organization, Mr. Nicholson predicted:
In November we will find the parti-
sans trooping side by side in support
of their party nominees"

Douglas Fairbanks, motion picture
actor and producer. appealed to the
Supreme Court yesterday in an effort
to keep from paying the Government
s72,l85 as income tax for 1927, 1928
and 1929.
He asked the tribunal to review
decision by the Ninth Circuit Coucs
of Appeals that he must pay this
amount, plus per cent interest from
January 26, 1882
The controversy grew out Of the
sale in 1925 of Fairbanks interest in
nine motion pictures for bonds hav-
ing par value in excess of $4,000. 900.
Some of the bonds were redeemed in
each of the three years involved in
the tax dispute.
After paying his income tax for the
three years, Fairbanks filed a claim
for refund on the ground he had nov
deducted proper cost for the bonds
redeemed. The Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue on January 26. 1882, re-
funded $72,l85. Later he decided the
refund was erroneous and brought
suit to recover, Fairbanks petition
said.

Present indications are that ap-
preparations at this session of Congress
will total more than S10,355, 900. 900
almost a billion dollars in excess of
last years sum.
Appropriation bills carrying Sl0,355,-
13l, ,879 already have become law or
are pending in the Senate or House.
Total appropriations last year were
s9,356, 100000
Administration leaders contend the
business recession is responsible largely
for the increased outlay Republicans
say Democrats are trying to buy sue
cess at the polls in November.
President Roosevelt originally esti-
mated that sl,000,0OO00o would be
needed for relief in the fiscal year
starting July l. but the Senate has
under consideration S2,816,905 900
appropriation for Work-rellef and
heavy public works projects. The
psnding measure would permit still
other funds already on hand to be
used in the administration lending
spending program.
More Needed for Relief.
Although the Senate Appropria lions
Committee added 1927. 100000 to the
amount the House approved for reh'f
and public works, the increased tota.
is expected officially to carry the
Works Progress Administration only
through eight months of the next
fiscal year Another appropriation will
have to be made early in the next
year.
The House has kept almost all of
the major regular appropriations this
year below the Budget Bureaus esti-
mates. but the Senate has increased
them frequently.
One of the increases involves S212.-
900 900 added to the spending lending
bill to provide additional payments
to wheat, corn and cotton farmers
cooperating with the Governments
crop control programs.
House and Senate members of
joint conference committee are dead
locked at present over the Senates
addition of more than S40,000,000 to
the S491 ,225,3l3 War Department APP
propriat ton Bill. Most of the increase
is for anti-aircraft and sea coast de-
fenses, but the House members con-
tend there is no budget recommended
ton for the items and refuse to ap-
prove them. Final action on the bill
awaits settlement of this contro-
versy.
Supply Bills Signed.
President Roosevelt has signed nine
of the regular supply bills and the
House has approved all but one-the
final deficiency bill.
Appropriations Committee men,
bers say this measure will carry a
total of more than $500, 100000. The
bill will be ready for House debate
