WASHINGTON, Mar 3. (UP).
Chairman Arthur l.. Morgan Of
the Tennessee Valley Authority,
long embattled with the two other
members of the directorate, last
night called for d congressional
investigation into all important
phases Of IVA administration and
policy.
Morgan's suggestion was con-
tanned in a 36-page reply to pub
lie statements by DR.. II. A. Nor
gan and d. +. Lilienthal, his col
leagues, and Senator George l..
Berry, regarding the chairman's
testimony in Berry'S $5,000,000
marble suit against the govern
ment.
Morgan, in asking for the in
vestigation, said a joint house and
senate committee should be APP
pointed and allotted sufficient
funds to "makc possible a first
hand examination of 4he- obscure
financial records of the power
program and all other phases of
the IVA which come into the
question"
He said that the "fertilizer pol
icy, for example was adopted
without being disclosed to the
IVA board, and no impartial
technical appraisal and report of
the fertilizer program ever has
been made to the board or the
public
Referring to the marble claims,
he charged that during his alb
sence on July 10, 1886, Dr.. Nor
gan and Lilienthal entered into a
friendly agreement with Major

When q Porty "Pureed"
A President

When q Party "Pureed"
A President
FIGHTING solon of the Virginia
= Legislature and of both the
House Of Representatives and the
Senate, John Tyler was elected
vice president of the United
States with popular frontiersman
William Henry Harrison as Presi-
dent. But exactly one month after
inauguration Tyler found himself
President, when Harrison died
suddenly on April 4, 1871.
So was launched one Of the
rarest presidential careers on rec
ord, career which was to see
Tyler "purged" at last by his own
party. This Is the story:
AS far back as Jackson's term,
Tyler had opposed the generals
course In many matters. notably
the United States Bank. Later, as
senator, he opposed notification
but condemned Jackson's nullifica-
ton program. In 1884 he made
a report sharply censuring jack
son for removing deposits from
the United States Bank. And then
he became President and faced the
bank issue once more. Promptly
Tyler vetoed the bill to recharter
the institution.
Congress remodified the measure
next, partly at Tyler's suggestion,
passed it once more. And again
Tyler vetoed 1t. Likewise he killed
the measure to revise the tariff.
Thcreupon all Of the members Of
his cabinet resigned, except Web
ster. He remained only long
enough to conclude the Webster
Ashburton treaty. Meanwhile, the
Wings countered with a daring
purge" Of their own leader and
President. A public address was
issued declaring that "all political
connection with them and John
Tyler was at end from that day
henceforth."
Tyler retired in l845. He is
shown here on stamp of the new

He saw him cross the sidewalk,

sound Of a body falling hard to the
pavement.
He yanked his revolver from his
pocket and started across the side

caught the scent Of faint perfume,
hauntinRly familiar.

driver.
There was a groan almost ct his

tried to peer into the darkness Of

Squatted down beside the wound

feet. Gradually his eyes became ac-
customed DO the darkness. He was
literally afraid TO move, but now he
began to see the outlines Of the
doorway. It was empty. He had seen
no one 60 up or down the street,
and they must certainly have gone
through that door.
He got up, approached II gingerly.
Swiftly he kicked 1t open with one
foot and sprang back, his weapon
ready. Nothing opened to his gaSe
