BY the Associated Press

Two Democratic members said to-
day the House Subcommittee or
Publicity and Propaganda has not
authorized an investigation of the
New Mexico political campaign and
declared the committee staff should
avoid anything which might bring
charges of influencing the election
Representative ,Manasco. Demo
crat, of Alabama. and Representa-
tive Wilson, Democrat, of Texas,
made the statement in a telegram
to Clinton p Anderson, Democratic
Senate candidate in New Mexico.
Mr.. Anderson protested last week
that Richard Hodson, a committee
aide, was disclosing that his report
on the New Mexico Senate race
will claim that nine persons ars
violating the Hatch Act"
Mr.. Anderson sent his protest to
Representative Harness, Republican,

He also sent a protest to Repre-
sentative Rayburn Of Texas, House
Democratic leader.

Instances Mr.. Hodson cited, MIR.
Anderson declared, had no connec-
ton whatever with the Hatch Act,
which restricts political activities
by Government employees.
The publicity and propaganda
group is a subcommittee of the
House Committee on Expenditures
in the Executive Departments and
originally was set up to investigate
funds spent on publicity by Federal

In the telegram to Mr.. Harness,
Mr.. Anderson said:
Your committee neither au-

I'VE first learned of this investi-

meeting of our committee has been
held to authorize such investiga-
ton and we do not feel that our
committee has jurisdiction over such

Other committees of House and

that might subject us to criticism

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Nov. L.
Archbishop Spyrou Athenagoras Of
New, York, primate of the Greek
Orthodox Church in North and
South America, was elevated to
Patriarch of the Orthodox Church
today.
He succeeds Maximos v. who re-
signed october 10 because of i'll
health.
Archbishop Athenagoras, who
during his Is years in the United
States merged the various antagon-
istic factions Of the church into one
solid body, received IL of l7votes.
Six Ballots Blank.
Six ballots were blank, rejecting
split within the Holy Synod of
archbishops favoring Archbishop
Athenagoras and those backing
Archbishop Joakim of Derkos, who
withdrew.
Hundreds jammed the Patriar-
chate for the election as a priest
pulled the ballots from silver
bowl While a clerk read the re-
suits, bells high above the church
rang out.
Archbishop Joakim sat immobile,
his face drawn, as the result was
announced. He has spent IS years
fighting for leadership of the
worlds 100000, 900 members of the
Orthodox Church.
He burst into tears at the final
meeting of the synod this morning
when he realized he had no chance.
Archbishop Athenagoras must give
up his American citizenship and
become Turkish. Under the Treaty
of Lausanne the Patriarch must be
citizen of Turkey, and the govern
ment is reported ready to grant
him a passport Immediately.
! Archbishop Athenagoras' Ameri-
can background undoubtedly was an
outstanding factor in his election. A
younger group within the synod in
sisted on one of their own, but the
selection satisfied both the Turkish
and Greek governments.
The new Patriarch was Arch
bishop Of Corfu before he went to
the United States in 1890.

Watch Spacing When Vegetables Are
Planted, Cautions County Agent

Have you ever heard a gardener
cav: II will plant thick and eat
ont the row fast enough to thin
the plants"
Gardeners are sometims heard
n make that remark. But ex-
neriece teaches, says Frank
Webster, County Agent, that most
families Just don't eat fast enough
n make room for the normal de-
velopment of the plants left in
the ground. The result is the
roots often are too small, the
leaves spindling, or the plants fail
to head normally.
. For those gardeners who have
any doubts about how far apart
to plant early vegetables, and how
deep to plant them John Dodge,
Extension Gardener Leader at
washington State College, Pull
man. offers these suggestions:
Radishes are the only early gar.
den crop that should be thinned
during the harvest period, as as
