 This important task suddenly is threatened by the action of the senate audit and control com- mittee in slashing the requested $57000 appropra- ton for the next fiscal year to $18000 The Senate has not yet passed on the committees recommenda- tion

They should not be permitted to prevent revslation of the complete story Full information is needed to stop 8 threatened resumption of these alliances
 Efforts to hamstring congressional investigations that affect powerful interests not new or, strange to anyone who has covered them through the years. Attempts were made to shut off the famous Senate Banking Committee Investigation into stock market and banking abuses, conducted by Ferdinand Pecora also among others, the interstate commerce com nittee's investigation into railroad recelverships m which President Truman, while Senator, took such an important part chairman of an investigating subcommittee.
 The power of investigation is one of the most cherished and most effective powers of congress. Through congressional investigations have come corrections of many evils in our economic and social system.

 One such subcommittee was created in October 1942, by the Senate Military Affairs Committee Known as the subcommittee war mobilization, it has proved a most helpful adjunct to the military committee and the Senate.

 Hutchins, however, took a chance. He had to stick his neck out to the extent of spending $780, 900 of the universitys' money without telling his trustees about it. It strict military secret If the plan 1zzled, he would be the laughing stock of the university world. However he put up the $15O00O and turned over laboratory space and tech ncianS to the project. That why the most im- portant research done at the University of Chi cago. $
 When Wallace put Hutchns name ID at the Cabinet luncheon, however, he got complete turn down from both Truman and Secretary of War Pat terson They didn't say much, but they vetoed the idea of Hutchns serving on the board to judge the atom test in the Pacific.
 Harry Truman and Henry Wallace continue to be close friends and see lot of each other though they did battle to the bitter end at the Chicago con- vention, and even though Southern Democrats would like to tear Walaces' hair out.
 The two men have frequent conferences and Truman supports most of Wallace's plans for the commerce department.
 The other day, friends were joking with Wallace about his contact with Truman, and asked him how much backing he really got from the White House Wallace replied that he got excellent cooper ation.

the old man replied. "Tn keep this

Tope that night lay not long
awake; but he reused at dawn, and
he began to wonder by what route
the dead man had been brought to
PARKWAY. He got up and dressed
with quiet haste, and left Mrs. Tope
asleep, and walked up the brookside
toward PARKWAY, where Adam
Bruce was still asleep; but he did
not disturb the young man. Yonder
on the knoll, half concealed by
intervening shrubbery, one Of the
other cabins was visible. It seemed
the nearest to PARKWAY; and assum-

brought the dead man here had
lodged in that cabin, Tope began to
search the ground between.
He found two things. He found,
on slanting ledge, a scratch which
might have been made by nail in
someone's heel; but the scratch was
broader than the nail would readily
have made, and Tope reflected that
some men have set into the heels
of their shoes a small triangular
plate to retard the wear. Such a
plate might have made that scratch.
And he found woman's footprint
The small French heel had sunk to
depth of a quarter-inch or so,
leaving its imprint plain. Tope
stopped to look more closely; and
then Adam Bruce came up the slope
to join him. It was still early; but
the sun had risen and now laid level
lances through the trees. Adam lift
ed his hand in silent greeting.
Found anything?"
81 found this" Tope pointed to
the footprint. II judge whoever

"This is named Little Bear "
Adam told him. eff they did, Bee
will remember them"
Tope hesitated. "Well, LATER he
decided. "You keep out of sight for
now, 60 up to Dewain's farm, wait
there. Doctor Medford will be do
ing the autopsy there this morning.
Well come up" He added: "Now,
let's 60 up on the knoll and see if
there are tire tracks in the drive. ="
But as they came around to the
drive in front of Little Bear, Tope
forgot his present search. Whitlock
and Beal had been put, the night
before, in the cabin toward the road.
Tope saw that their car was gone;
and he strobe that way, Adam upon
his heels. They came to the cabin
and Tope threw open the door.
The beds were in disorder, but the
place was empty. Whitlock and Beal
were no longer here.
Tope shook his head in self
reproach. "I'm getting DID," he said.
II ought to have anticipated that.
Too late now. All right, son. I'll
see you at the farm"
So Adam departed, and Tope re-

He told her about the woman's
footprint, the mark where a mans
shoe had scraped across the ledge,
and he added: "Whitlock and Beal
have skipped. They must have left
mighty earlyi" He fell into a
thoughtful silence, and she left him
undisturbed, till presently the break
fast bell summoned them down to
the Mill.
Bee Dewain, fresh as dawn, greet
