To Be Probed
Three House Members
To Launch Irquiry
Within Few Days

The House Civil Service Com
mhtee decided today to make an
immediate investigation of re-
ported Communist influences in
the Government.
The inquiry had been demanded
for some time by Representa- tive
Rees of Kansas. ranking minority
member, but the formal motion
which the committee adopted at
an executive session was made by
Representative Byrnes, Republican,
.of Wisconsin. Another Republican
member, Representative Case of
New Jersey, seconded the motion.
The committe adopted the resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Byrnes by what
was described afterward as an al
most unanimous vote
Chairman Randolph at once
named as a subcommittee to con-
duct the investigation Represen-
tative Combs, Democrat. of Texas
chairman; Fallon. Democrat, of
Maryland, and Mr.. Rees.
Probe to Start Soon.
The subcommittee plans to start
its inquiry within few days, un-
der instructions to report back to
the full committee before Congress
adiourns.
Mr.. Randolph explained after the
meeting that this was no witch
hunt" but the committee had heard
charges of subversive activities and
wanted to find out if there was any
basis for them. He pointed out
that the committee had been au-
thorized by Congress to conduct
general Investigations of Govern
ment employees and the practices of
Federal departments, and could dc
so without special authority. The
committee has funds left to enable
it to carry on such an inquiry with
out asking money from the House,
he added
Testimony Under Oath.
Under this general authority, the
committee may subpoena witnesses
and place them under oath.
Representative ReeS some time ago
introduced resolution in the House
asking a special investigation of
alleged communistic activities among
Government employees, but this reso-
luton has been buried in the Rules
Committee, with no indication that
it would be called up at the present
session. .
Despsiring of obtaining action
through the Rules Committee, Mr..
Rees decided to appeal to the Civil
Service Committee to use the gen.
eral authority granted it by the
House to make the investigation he
sought.
While Mr. Randolph made no an
nouncement to this effect, members
of the committee indicated that If
the subcommittee uncovers sufficient
evidence before the summer recess
of Congress, it may be authorized to
continue its inquiry during adjourn
ment.
The written motion offered by Mr.
Byrnes and adopted by the Civil
Service Committee said:
L move that the chairman ap-
point a subcommittee of either three
or five members to make such in
Ivestigation as it may deem proper
with respect to employe loyalty and
employment policies and practices OF
| the Government of the United
States, and to make a report to this
committee of its investigation prior
to the recess or adjournment, to-

With the exception of Philip H

both legs during the Italy cam

any special attachments to aic

Finds Driving Easy.
Mr.. Muller has special accelera-

ing wheel, leaving only the brake
pedal to be operated by foot.
And I just keep my foot on the
brake all the time while driving he
commented. Its as easy as driving
was before the war"
Only one of the seven, former
Sergt. Charles Burger, %, of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, who lost his right leg
during action in France, said he
had no driving experience before
the war. Mr.. Burger said he took
instruction at the Walter Reed am
putee section at Forest Glen, Md
and passed my driving test with
no trouble at all"
Under the program, after the am
putees establish their claim for cars
with the Veterans Administration
they are free to negotiate with q
dealer for any car of their choice
up to value of 81 900. The dealer
then submits a claim to the vet
erans' agency for the money, after
the car has been delivered.

an excellent piece of police work in summon

vestigation in the reported assault which a
young Escatawpa couple described to police
last week. The couple said that they were
set upon by a man who appeared to be a light
skinned Negro wearing a paper sack over
his head, and that he forced them to drive
thirty-five miles. at one point crossing the
Alabama line. Sheriff Newman concluded
that this could technically qualify as inter-
state kidnapping for the SAKE of getting the
FBI on the case to determine exactly what
happened and to uncover a culprit is possible.
The FBI are expertly trained and the gov
eminent has more funds to pursue such in
vestigations than do counties Reports of
this nature are extremely serious and should
be tirelessly investigated until the case is
solved. Careless investigation in such a case
only e~onfuses matters. The sheriff and his
office were wise in summoning FBI experts
