Truman AsksCongress
To Raise Prestige by
Expanding Inquiries
Vice Presidential Nominee
Gives Senate Last Report
As Committee Chairman
BY the Associated Press.

Senator Truman, Democratic
vice presidential nominee, rec
commended today that Congress
expand its investigation activi-
ties as a means of raising its
power and prestige.
The Missouri Senator made his
recommendation in presenting to
the Senate his last report as chair
man of its War Investigating Com
mittee.
I'm my opinion, the power of in
vestigation is one of the most i'm
portant powers of the Congress, .
he said. The manner in which
that power is exercised largely will
determine the position and prestige
Of the Congress in our future. An
informed Congress is a wise Con-
gress, and an uninformed Congress
surely will forfeit a large portion OF
the respect and confidence of the
people"
Reviewing the committees three
and half years of investigation
under his craftsmanship, Senator
Truman reminded his colleagues
that the committee called as early
as last November for a start on re-
conversion problems.
Specific methods of dealing with
those problems were set forth in
the committees third animal re-
port" he said. Progress has been
disappointing, because many new
needs have arisen and because the
armed services have been bitterly
opposed to taking any action"
Senator Truman included in his
nine-page speech word of praise
for President Roosevelt.
When the President advocated
a program for preparedness over
the opposition of many of our
isolationists," Senator Truman as
serted, Il wholeheartedly supported
that program. 1t was another and
perhaps the greatest instance of
that ability which he has so fire.
quently shown to see into the
future and determine the right
course for this Nation.
But as a soldier who had de-
plored the waste and confusion in
the last war, I believed that ou1
preparedness program should be
subjected from the very first to in
telligent and honest investigation sc
that mistakes could be caught be-
fore the damage had been done"
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York, Senator Truman's successor
as committee chairman, announced
that the group had agreed reluct-
antly to the resignation of Chief
Counsel Hugh Fulton, who will con-
tinue to work in an advisory cap
acity with the title of consulting
counsel, available to Rudolph HALEY
who takes over his old post.
Senator Truman said he would
remain in Washington until have
had a chance to have an interview
with President Roosevelt"
"It is the Presidents campaign
and I'll do what's necessary to con-
tribute to its success" he told q
press conference.

The Democratic party leader and
four-time Mayor of Baltimore, who
was defeated for reelection by Re-
publican Theodore r. McKeldin last
year, issued his statement in reply
to a charge by the city party chair
man, Harold A. Keene, that the for
mer mayor previously had bolted the
party.
IF l had been against the nominees
of the Democratic party in 1928, "a,
'38 and 49," Mr.. Jackson declared,
Il would have said so as I am now
doing in reference to a candidate
President Roosevelt-who long since
in my judgment has ceased to be a
Democrat. $50
Il am for many of the principles
OF the Roosevelt administration-
unemployment insurance, old-age
pensions, aid for dependent chill
dren, collective bargaining (which
should be two-way and not a one
way street, and guarantees of bank
deposits
But am against most of his
administrative policies. He has
played politics with labor manage
ment and with radical groups,
purged members of Congress who
would not be subservient to him; Or
dered Congress to pass legislation of
doubtful constitutionality, endeav-
ored to reorganize the Supreme
Court and make it subject to his
views.
HE piled bureau on top Of bu-
reau; he serves the radicals =:
he commits us to so many things
that we do not know our obligations
and liabilities, actual and contin-
gent; he pretends to distribute
wealth, which cannot be done; he
favors legislation to limit income"
HE is dissipating the wealth of
the Nation,' Mr.. Jackson continued.
"as evidenced by the fact that $780,
1910 is the only decade in American
history in which the wealth of the
National did not increase.
I'VE cannot make the rich Door
without making the poor poorer. If
we cannot accumulate wealth, all
become poor except the ruling
classes. When government can do
no wrong, individuals have no
rights.
Il am against government in
peacetime that spends - and col.
lects only ST." -

As Victims, but Only
One of Pair Was Shot

BALTIMORE, Aug. City police
pressed an investigation today into
the death of a 29-year-old father of
Two children and his woman COM
panion, exploring the possibility that
the pair. whose bodies we're found in
a parked automobile on secluded
Woodbine avenue, may have been

dict but said Bosley died from a

H. Guy Campbell, president of the

Govans section about 1:30 pm. Sat-
urday.
Bosley Praised.
He added in a statement
Mr. Guy Campbell and his BROTH
er, Bruce S. Campbell, as we'll as
myself, are convinced that a third
party with motives other than rob-
berry forced Mr.. Bosley and Mrs
Nighan to drive to the spot where
the car was found, and there per-
petrated the crime
Norman Bosley was more than
a trusted employee; he was being
groomed for a superintendency in
our organization and he had always
been trusted with large sums OF
money as we'll as the carrying out
of the details of large contracting
projects"
DR.. Wollenweber said there was
no evidence of a bullet wound on

and head.
The bodies were found by two

ing wheel of the car, a .22-caliber
rifle clutched in his hands, and the
rifle was subsequently identified as
his. Mrs. Nighan was lying on the
floor of the car just in front of the
rear seat.
There were cartridges in the mag
azine of the rife and three boxes of
cartridges in the car. In Bosley's
pocket was $226, while the woman S
purse contained. in addition to per-
sonal effects, $l5.95.
Two shots had been fired from
the rife. DR.. Wollenweber reported
