Tentative Nature Stressed.
Stressing that the report was
merely a preliminary one, Subcom-
mittee Chairman Maloney had
asserted that the shortage, as we
see it, is a shortage of surplus and
and not a shortage of products, or
a lack of facilities to transport
them"
The Senate group saw no danger
of a lack of fuel for domestic heat
ing or for operating defense indus
tries, and said that with proper
conservation motorists should find

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Answer- ing the mail orders
 w. R., Kansas City, Mo. = There is a move on in Congress to inves- tigate the recent plane crashes. The resolution was introduced by Rep Carl HinshaW, California Re publican, who, commenting on his motion, said:
 Tt is not meant to be a fishing expedition or a witch hunt; it $ meant merely to find out the truth and do the best thing We can to improve and promote civil aero- nautics.'
 So far as I can find out, there is no indication anywhere that any official in Congress or out is willing to group recent accidents under one heading and place them at t he door of any singe cause. Even MT. Hinshaw, who introduced the investigation reso- lution, stated clearly that the purpose of the investigating com mittee would be to discover the causes. not to prove something already known.
