House Com n1ittee Approues IVA Probe
Congressional Investigation Tomorrow; Slight Amendment Made in Resolution
By REED S. DUNHAM


 Washington, 'Marc, 29.-UP)- The house rules committee today re- ported favorably the senate-ap- proved resolution for joint con- gressional investigation of the Ten nessee Valley authority.
 Chairman John O'Connor, d., N. Y, said the resolution, to create an Investigating committee of five Sena- tors and five representatives, would be put to a vote in the house tomor- row.
 The committee amended the res olution slightly to make certain that there would be authority for inveSti- gation of every aspect of IVA and its three-member directorate, whose chairman, Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, was busted by President Roosevelt.
 The action by the rules commit tee was thought virtually to assure a joint house-senate inquiry into the IVA along the lines proposed by the senate. House sentiment was generally regarded as favorable to this type of investigation.
 Another change by the rules com- mittee would require the investiga- tors to report not later than the opening of the next congress on Jan. 3, 1889.
 The measure was amended to make certain the inquiry would be strictly legal by specifying that it's purpose was to obtain information bearing on future legislation.
 The proposed inquiry is directed not only at the affairs of the direc- tors but to determine whether any activities of private power com panies have been designed to ham, string the authority.
 Asked if the committee agreed unanimously to these broad pro- visions written by Senate Majority Leader Alhen w. Barkley, O'Connor declared:
 Were always unanimous on in- vestigations."

REORGANIZATION BILL
 EXCEEDS HOUSE ONE
Public Hearings to Be De- manded on Bill By Rep.

 Washington, March 29.- (UP) - The government re- organization bill went to a hostile house committee to- day. Although it appeared that the bitter fight which marked it's passage in the Senate would be renewed in the House, there will be no delay in it's consideration. Chairman John Cochran, Demo- crat, Missouri, of the House Re- organization Committee, said that the measure would be considered immediately. He refused to indi- cate whether an attempt would be made to alter it's provisions in con- mittee.
 It was from Cochran'S commmit- tee that the House received it's own, more limited reorganization bill last year after President Roosevelt, in a special message to Congress, asked for blanket power to trans fer and consolidate executive agen- cies and bureaus.
 Go Beyond House Bill
 Three important sections of the Senate bill go beyond the power that the House was willing to au- thorize, and upon these the major House battle probably will center. They are:
 1. Drastic reorganization of the civil service. In place of the present commission the senate bill provides for all administrator. assisted by a bipartisan, even-member civil service advisory board.

Labor Commissioner Is Non-Committal; Satti,

NOulCCu EEcSS OtbAA NOEECopOHuCHI
 Hartford, Conn, March 29. - (UP) - State Labor Com- missioner Joseph M. Tone was being prominently men- tioned today for the Demo- cratic nomination as lieu tenant-governor. Tone re- fused to comment one way or the other when questioned about reports he had thrown his hat into the ring. It was be- lieved, however, he would take the nomination if 1t were within his reach.
 The labor commissioner, a close ally and confidant of Gov. Wilbur L. Cross. is in frequent touch with the governor during political cam- paigns and it was believed he would not have taken the present step without the chief executives knoWl- edge.
 Hayes Out?
 Political circles beleived the cur- rent grand jury investigation of Waterbury's financial affairs defin- itely has ruined the re-nomination chances of Mayor T. Frank Hayes as lieutenant-governor.
 Democratic minority leader of the state senate in 1925, Tone is re- garded as one of the ableSt speak CTS and one of the most popular leaders in the party. At one time this year, it was believed he might attempt to Wrest the nomination for U. s. senator from the incumbent, Augustine Lonergan.
 A New Dealer, he has strong following among labor groups and religious organizations. His ap- pointment as labor commissioner in July, 1881, was the first Democra- tic appointment made by Governor Cross in his first term.
 Other Battles Loom
 Meantime, it was learned on good authority the New Guard of the party still was seeking to replace Secretary of State Dr. c. John Satti, and Controller Charles c. Swartz, Old Guarders, with men from their own faction.
 Satti and Swartz are aligned with a faction of the party headed by Hartford Mayor Thomas J. Spell lacy. This group long has been at odds with another faction con- trolled by U. S. Senator Francis T. Maloney, State Chairman J. Francis Smith, and National Committeeman David E. FitzGerald.
 The Maloney group, now in power has dropped hints within the past year it was dissatisfied with Satti and SWartz and would seek to re- place them in the September con- vention. The Spellacy faction has announced it would not yield on these candidates without battle.
 Cross Seems Sure
 The remainder of the ticket prob ably will remain intact. Gov Cross undoubtedly will seek fifth term. Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin and Treasurer Guy B. Holt were regarded as certain nominees.
 Tone first entered state politics

state, not officially fascist, but prac-
tically so. Roumania, by organiz-
ing government with Octavian COCA,
fascist, as it's head, joined the ranks.
To indicate the solidarity between
Roumania and the two older fascist
states word now comes that the Buka-
rest government is about to recog-
nize Ethiopia as an Italian colony
and the king of Italy as emperor of
Ethiopia-and that the officially in
spired German press-all of it is Of
ficially inspired, by the way!-is in
censed because Great Britain and
France have warned the Roumanian
government against going too far with
its planned persecution of the Jews.
Then, too, there is in cable from
Rome a message to the effect that
during the latter part of April Adolf
Hitler, fascist chief of the German
government, will again pay a visit to
the fascist head of the Italian gov
eminent, Benito Mussolini, and with
that is coupled a rumor that COCA
will be in Rome at the same time
What the democratic nations are
doing to offset the intensification of
fascist influence, is not yet clear.
Radio War.
o yes, Great Britain is doing some
thing-or tried to. For many months
there have been charges that the
Italian radio stations broadcast ap-
peals to Mohammedan countries to
remain loyal to Rome; the Italian
government Was-that was the bur-
den of the daily messages-ever so
much more intelligent, humane and
considerate than the British. Much
of the unrest between Jews and Arabs
in Palestine was traced back to those
Italian broadcasts by the British gov
eminent, and so, few days ago, the
London stations began to lombard
the Mohammedan nations with mes
sages to the effect that only the royal
and imperial government of the Brit
ish empire could be considered in

was captured by the fascist rebels
in the summer of 1886, recaptured
by the government troops in De-
cember, 1887. 1t appears that the
government victory was not quite
complete, for there was still a rebel
garrison left within the gates of the
city-a force of some 1000 men; early
this week word came that they had
surrendered to the government forces,
but that other rebels still held the out
| lying sections of Teruel. AS the sit
uation appears at the moment of writ
ing, the government victory is likely
to be an accomplished fact within
a few days unless rebel reinforce
ments alter the picture.
Teruel is important for the reason
| that If the government troops sue
coed in actually capturing and hold
ing it, a final rebel onslaught on
Madrid will be seriously hindered,
and if the rebels ultimately win at
Teruel, one may expect the fall of
Madrid, besieged since October, 1886,
in comparatively near future.
Blg-POWer Fleets.
To certain extent, the events of
the Chinese and Spanish battlefields
are overshadowed by naval devel-
opmentS among the great powers. 1t
may be recalled that ever since the
days of the signing of the Versailles
peace treaty these powers have Of
ficially and solemnly pledged them
selves to disarmament, and they have
met at conferences ostensibly to carry
out that purpose; it may also be re-
called that each new conference called
to consider disarmament resulted in
an increase of ornaments, and that
the net result is AN ornaments race
the like of which mankind has not
witnessed before.
Wars in progress are a horribly
fascinating picture; wars in the offiing
are no less horrible-and History
proves that the bigger the ornaments,
the more imminent the danger of
war. The ancient claim of farming
for peace" has too often been proved
fallacious When a nation arms, it
arms for war.
President Roosevelt's message to
congress, at the opening session, was
in line Without may not have
cause.-the announcement that the
| Italian and the French government
are increasing their navieS; new first
class battleships, new destroyers, new
submarines are to be built. Great
Britain gave the signal last year
when it started rearmament on a
tremendous scale; Germany and the
Soviet republics have long been busy
increasing their armies and navies,
and Japan, already testing out its
military and naval power, declares
that for the time being it is deemed
sufficient u: .s..z
When an ornaments race is in
progress, there is no hope for peace.
That, however, does not necessarily
mean that a general world conflagra-
ton is "just around the corner
many factors point in the opposite
direction, but it does mean that some
day a new great war will be newt
able-unless a clarion authoritative
voice stops the madness. That voice
has not yet been heard.
Getting Together.
| It has been noted that practically
all of those who have engaged in
the sad task of reviewing the past
year in the international field agreed
that it denoted progress for the prin-
ciple of fascism. Toward the end
of 1887 Brazil became a dictatorial

Married rs Years.

Approximately 100 friends and

Friday for a social evening and to
extend to Mr.. and Mrs. Uldbjerg
sincere and hearty congratulations
upon their silver wedding anniver-

After the guests of honor arrived
and were seated at the head table
they were bid welcome by Svend
Petersen who also acted as master
of ceremonies for the evening.
The pep which was lacking in the
first song was made up as the festiv-
tiles progressed. Chris Hansen and
daughter, Miss Ruth, Cor possibly it
should be said Ruth and her dad)
rendered two vocal duets and Mrs.
Emil Andersen read story describ-
ing conditions in the community in
Denmark from which the Uldbjergs
came. After the coffee and lunch
and a beautiful wedding cake were
enjoyed a silver service set and sum
of money were presented to the
honored guests by the POSTMASTER, to
which Mr.. Uldbjerg responded in
few but appropriate words.
The cigars were then passed around
by their son, Louis, and nearly every
one crowded to the front to extend
personal greetings. The balance OF
the evening passed quickly and pleas
