gram was brought into the open by
Chairman Gap" Eagles, of the House
committee, at a JOINT session of the

duplication between State College and
the State Department of Agriculture.
Mr.. Eagles was very earnest. He
called attention to the urgent need
for more money for research and re-
gulation, mentioning specifically hog
cholera and Japanese beetle control.
And he warned that members of the
legislature wer not taking kindly to
SO much discussion of duplication

FDR Won't Withdraw
Virginia Judge

Washington, Feb 3.-(AP)-The
House voted overwhelmingly today
to continue for another year an in
vestigation of un-American activities
and propaganda. Speaker Bankhead
announced the roll call vote was 344
to }5
That action brought to an end, at
least for the time being, one of the
bitterest controversies of the new
Congress. Opponents had level.ed
accusations of unfairness and un-
Americanism at the committee which
handled the inquiry last year under
the Craftsmanship of Representative
Dies, Democrat, Texas.
Speaker Bankhead has already an
nounced his intention to re-appoint
Dies chairman and name to the COM
mittee again the members who served
in the last Congress. There is one
vacancy.
At the outset, the issue of continu-
ing the life of the Dies committee had
reached the House floor, with Repre-
sentative Cox, Democrat, Georgia,
championing the inquiry as having
been grossly misrepresented" by it's
critics. The resolution provides no
funds for a further inquiry, but
Chairman Warren, Democrat, North
Carolina, obtained permission for the
accounts committee to hold after
noon sessions next week to discuss a
method to supply more funds. Dies
ha asked for $15O,0OO, but the House
is expected to compromise on $780,
900.
Bankhead told newspaper men
that the House probably would

But it is to be borne in mind that on
paper, the presidents party has about
2-to-1 majority on Capitol Hill. If
his side had won AZ to 46 or by

Babson Park, Fla, Feb. 3.-Despite
