COP. Senators Insist
On Continuing Probe
OF Five-Percenters
By the Associated Press

Three Republican Senators in
sisted today that the flve-percent-
er inquiry be kept open. They
said they want to question at least
three more witnesses and to ex-
plore all new leads of any value.
The Republican lawmakers pro-
tested what they called an ap-
parent indication by Democratic
Senator Hoey of North Carolina
that the investigation has ended
1t dealt with the question of
whether there was any influence
peddling in connection with the
activities of agents who sought,
for a percentage fee, to line up
Government contracts.
Senator Hoey is chairman. of
the special Senate subcommittee
which handled the inquiry last
summer. The Republicans who
called for continuation of the in
quiry are Senators Margaret
Chase Smith of Maine. Mccarthy
of Wisconsin and Mundt of
South Dakota. All three are
members of the subcommittee.
Letter Written to HOey.
Senator Hoey said in an inter-
view over the week end that the
investigation probably won't be
resumed this year. He said that
whether it ever is reopened would
depend on developments.
In a letter to Senator Hoey to-
day, the three Republicans said:
LAS you will recall, when the
public hearings in the flve-per-
center probe were recessed (Au-
gust 81, it was agreed that the
hearings would not be considered
as ended until Cd Messrs. Hunt,
Helis and Bennett were called to
testify, and co the staff finished
it's investigation of all leads of
any value which were furnished
to it,
The prospective witnesses to
whom the Republicans referred all
figured prominently in the Senate
hearings. They are James V. Hunt,
self-styled Washington manage
ment counselor; David Bennett.
head of the Albert Verley Co.,
Chicago perfume house. and Will
liam G. Helis, New York race
track and real estate operator.
Meeting To Be Called.
Senator Hoey told reporters he
plans to call a meeting of the sub
committee early next week to con-
slider the matter.
He also said he believes the Re-
publicans misinterpreted what he
said over the week end.
1T was not my purpose" Sem
ator Hoey added, Ito indicate that
the hearings necessarily are over"
He reiterated that Mr.. Hunt and
Mr.. Bennett still are i'll and that
it appears unlikely they will be
able to testify this year. He said
again that if they and Mr.. Helis
do not appear this year. the sub
committee will take another look
at the situation early in 1850 and
decide then what to do.

Rated Fourth at Start,
Surprise PAGERS
Edge Fades 10 81
By Joe ReichIer
A.sociofed Press Sports Writer

Is this the start of that long
awaited New York Yankee col
lapse?
Baseball experts, who vowed the
, Yankees would finish no higher
than fourth this year. wore that
old wise look today. A good many
of them we're ready to give you
that Il told you so" routine.
And they may have something.
For the Bronx Bombers of late
have resembled anything but the
league leaders that they are.
In losing yesterday, 5-4, to
Cleveland, the Yankees extended
their losing streak to three. They
now have dropped four Of their
last five games, three of them to
second division clubs. Whereas
they once boasted an 8-game
margin, their lead has shrunk to
I312 games over the advancing
Indians.
Why, the Brooklyn Dodgers own
the same lead in the National
League-3l2 games over the St.
Louis Cardinals. And that was
supposed to be tense, tight
struggle.
The Yankees plight is more
acute because of the resurgence of
the defending champion Indians.
In direct contrast to the New
Yorkers. Lou Boudreau's boys have
won four of their last five. In all
they've won q of their last 81.
Tribe Battery Terrific.
The Tribe battery of Pitcher
Bob Lemon and Catcher Jim
Hogan was responsible for the
Yankees most recent defeat. Be-
tween them they scored four of
Cleveland's five runs. Lemon not
only whipped the Yankees for the
third time this year in racking
up his 18th triumph. but ham,
mered his fourth home run, with
man on base. Hogan had a per-
feet three for three including
three runs scored, and broke up
the game in the last of the ninth
with a home run.
Duane Pillette, the tall young
right-hander freshly arrived from
Newark yesterday morning. was
the victim of Hegan's blow. Jim
previously had hit a single and
double. and drew a base on balls
against starter Allie Reynolds.
Pillette, 26-year-old son of a one
time Detroit Tiger hurler. had
come into the battle in the seventh
with the score deadlocked at Sail.
In addition to losing the game,
the Yankees lost the services of
