Special Committees
By RAYMOND Moiev

the original La Toilette -Monroney bill,
all special committees was included In
but it was removed by the House. In the
case of the committee which made Tru-
man famous, the majority argument was
that special case exists.
In the beginning, the question of con-
tinuing the Defense Investigation Com
mittee revolved around the power given
to the Truman-Mead committee to in
vestigate income tax returns. President
Truman, however, assured Republicans
that such access to Treasury records
would be given to the Standing Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Execu-
tive Departments But this committee
is headed by Senator Aiken of Vermont,
who is strongly suspected of New Deal
tendencies by other Republicans, and
doubt was felt about the zeal with which
he might pursue an inquiry into the
administration.
The vast need Of digging into war ex-
penditures seems to make 1t essential
that the special committee 60 on with
It's work. The war, in the main, was
fought with Democrats in control. Fair
ness demands that their work be audited
by the party preferred by the voters in
November. The public interest demands
that.
But no such public interest is involved
In the case of the Special Small Busi-
ness Committee There is grave doubt
whether the problems Of small business
differ from those of business in general.
The issue is mainly credit, and the
standing Committee on Banking and
Currency Is competent TO investigate
credit.

The new Republican majority in the
Senate moved swiftly to take over the
direction of affairs. BY vote too mar
row for comfort, two special committees
were continued One is the Special Com
mittee to Investigate the National De-
fense Program, formerly headed by Har-
ry S. Truman and by James M. Mead.
The other is the Special Small Business
Committee. Opposition within the Re-
publican majority developed in both
cases and Democrats, with single ex-
ception, voted solidly against the moves.
These two demonstrations OF policy by
Republican leaders deserve close atten-
tidn because they throw light on the
course which may be followed in months
to come The impartial onlooker, inter-
ested solely In the good of the Nation
regardless of party advantage, will have
mixed feelings. This observer believes
the score was $3.50. There were good
reasons for continuing the war investi-

The La Toilette -Monroney reorgani-
