|of the divisions Of the department,
or even to him.
Senator KEN, author Of the reso-
luton investigating the Department
|of Justices failure to be more ac-
tive In the matter, read into the rec
ord the report OF the Kansas City
grand jury, which said IL. was the
belief Of the grand jury that former
Representative Slaughter had been
deprived Of the nomination BY cleo
ton frauds.
Mr.. KEN brought out that the
FBI has all the facilities required
for making an investigation Of vote
frauds handwriting and fingerprint
experts, etc.
Hoover Denies Full Probe.
Senator Ferguson then brought
from MIR. Hoover q fiat statement
the FBI had compiled with the In
structions of the Justice Department,
and that he would not want the
public to understand that the FBI
had made a full investigation" in
the Kansas City primary.
Certainly not" was the emphatic
way In which Mr.. Hoover answered.
Late yesterday in Kansas City
Mr.. Brantley, however, said he had
received authorization from the
Attorney General -. to conduct
a full and complete investigation
Informed OF this, Senator KEN
said mo doubt the committee will
be interested in learning why this
second announcement of q full in
vestigation is made on June 4. I
introduced my resolution May 20
demanding full and complete in
vestigation of why the Attorney
General had failed to act in the
matter"
He explained that he called it q
second announcement of full in
vestigation" because he had letters
from the Attorney General last jan.
uary % and February 10 saying the
FBI had made lengthy and de-
tailed investigations" and "a full
investigation" into the allegations
at Mr.. Clark's direction.
Tomorrow three Kansas City
judges, Albert L. Reeves, father of
Representative Reeves. Albert A..
Ridge and John Caskie Coliet and
Mr.. Wear have been asked to ap-
pear.

Further Cuts Expected.

Further Cuts Expected.
Price reduction in many items OF
farm products and foods is as i'm
portant as in the case of industrial
products. AS the table shows, these
prices have been reduced recent
ly. Further reductions may be
anticipated. Neither the individ-
ual farmer, however, nor the trad
er, nor the Government can-in
the absence of price control-deter-
mine agricultural prices. They de-
pend largely on competitive market
conditions.
On the other hand, in the case of
many industrial products deliberate
voluntary price reduction is feasible,
and in some cases, such as construc-
ton and construction materials, high
prices impede activity of the highest
economic and social Importance. Yet,
as the table shows, industrial prices
have not come down as much as
prices of farm products and food.
They have been more resistant to
desirable decreases: 1t is true that
intensive foreign demand has kept
some farm prices higher than they
otherwise would be. But this is no
reason for keeping industrial prices
high where they could now be re-
duced for the long-run advantage of
business and the country. 81

not to be taken as q regular FBI
probe.
Senator Ferguson said Mr.. Brant-
ley's letter was attached to the copy
OF the FBI report which went to the
district attorney in Kansas City.
The Michigan Senator quoted from
the .Brantley letter as follows:
Il desire to advise this report
does not reflect the result of an in
vestigation by special agents of the
FBI and should in no wise be con-
sidered as such"
Contained Reporters Statements,
Mr.. Brantley went on to explain
that 1t did contain information OBJ
tanned from four election board off,
cials and from reporters of the
Kansas City Star.
1t was brought out in the earlier
hearing that the Attorney Generals
original instructions to Mr.. Hoover
specifically requested him merely to
interview the election board officials
and the Kansas City Star reporters.
Senator Ferguson told Attorney
General Clark today the question is
Whether the Department of JUS
tice is going to substitute the state
ment OF two reporters in Kansas
City for Its own investigation"
Found Only 10 Miscounts.
Mr.. Clark replied that the Kansas
City Star had "a people working on
the alleged voting irregularities, that
80 of them were former soldiers
and that they interrogated 1927
persons. In all of that data, Mr..
Clark said, it appeared that only
10 votes had been enormously
miscounted."
The Attorney General argued that
his office also had the benefit of
the investigation by a House cam
paign investigating committee last
summer, In which 81 witnesses were
examined. He insisted none of this
data showed violations of Federal
law.
Chairman Ferguson responded
that he would take off" his hat
to the veterans in their appropriate
sphere, but asked Mr.. Clark II he
could say the exservicemen who
looked into the election complaints
for the Kansas City newspaper knew
anything about the Federal laws
that the Justice Department must
administer.
Questioned on KEN Letter.
Senator Ferguson also questioned
Mr.. Clark about the letters he wrote
to Senator KEN last winter in reply
to Senator Kem's requests for in
formation why the Justice Depart
ment had not proceeded with an
investigation of the reported cleo
ton frauds.
Mr.. Clark said the investigation
made by the FBI had been the most
thorough preliminary investigation
In my 10 years of experience in the
Department of Justice"
Senator Ferguson commented that
all the FBI had done was to ques-
ton other investigators Qor the
Kansas City STAR and election
judges.
MIR. Clark replied that as a rule,
mot more than 10 people are inter-
rogated in preliminary investiga-
ton by the FBI"
Mr.. Hoover will bear me out. in
this, Mr.. Clark said.
Clark Takes Responsibility.
Chairman Ferguson read from one
Of the Clark letters TO Senator KEN
In which the Attorney General used
the term full investigation" and

Senator Taft refused any com
ment on Mr.. Humans statement,
but Senator Hawkes., Republican, OF
New Jersey vigorously defended the
position taken by the Ohio Senator
"Of course Taft's absolutely
right" Senator Hawkes. told a re-
jporter. "As long as we shorten the
{ supply Of goods in this country
4, by shipping them abroad prices are
going to have a higher level than
, otherwise unles you have an abso-
lutely controlled economy"
The President said Senator Taft
! is arguing in effect that "the only
way to bring prices down is to re-
duce the demand for. goods" To
carry that reasoning to It's logical
conclusion, the President said, Is to
advocate a lowered demand for
goods that would bring about "a
tragic recession or depression"
This, Mr.. Truman added, Is "the
old idea of boom and bust"
: The President coupled the attack
on Senator Taft with discussion
of domestic economic conditions and
renewed his demand on business for
voluntary price reductions. They
are as important now as ever before
If not more important" the Presi-
dent stressed. VS.
Mr.. Truman said that his CAM
paign for voluntary price reduc-
ton, while 1t has not gone far
enough, has already yielded sub
stantial results" =
In a little summary, he showed
that all commodities had undergone
az per cent reduction since the peak
of March %. Farm products, it was
shown, are down SO per cent since
March Is; foods, 81 since March 8,
and all, other products, OIL OF per
cent since March Is. ;.
Industrial Prices More Resistant.
The President pointed out that
industrial prices have been more
resistant to decreases than have
others, and he agreed that "'inten-
sive foreign demand has kept some
farm prices higher than they other
wise would be-
THE administration" Mr.. Tru-
mans statement said, fully recog-
nized that these foreign aid pro-
grams would place some strain on
the American economy, particularly
In the current inflationary situation
caused by the high domestic demand
and the shortages of some goods.
But the fact that necessary foreign
aid programs add to our economic
problems at home makes 1t all the
more important that we handle
these domestic problems with vigor
and common sense"
The search for top flight admin
sstrator to carry out the Grecian
part of the Greek Turkish aid pro-
gram had been in progress for weeks.
1t started even before President
Truman formally signed on May %
the legislation designed to bolster
both countries against threats of
Communist domination.
Choice Of Griswold a Surprise.
Mr.. Griswolds appointment came
as a surprise as his name had not
figured in speculation.
The Nebraskan is 81 years old and
o veteran of World War I. He is
serving as director of internal af-
fairs for Gen. Lucius D. Clay, Ameri-
can commander in Germany.
Mr.. Allen, a former vice chairman
IN charge of insular and foreign al
fairs for the Red Cross, has been
with the State Department for sew
