Clio URGES PROBE
OF BILBO ACTIVITY
AT ELECTION TIME

WASHINGTON, Jan. - up -
The CLIO Tuesday expressed
shock at the temporary settle
ment of the Theodore G. Bilbo con-
trove~sy in the Senate and urged
the Justice department to press an
investigation into Bilbo's activities.
Nathan Cowan, CLIO legislative
director, said the CLIO was urging
the Justice department "to make
every effort to press a thorough and
impartial investigation of both his
(Bilbo's) anti-Democratic politica;
activities and the alleged gifts he
received from war contractors"
TT is a sad comment on the
greatest deliberative body in the
world that it should allow its rec
ord to be besmirched by failing
to take action on the facts as pre-
sented by authoritative Senate
