G. 0. P. LOSES HOPE
FOR W_M PROBE
Senate Group Reported
Secretly Satisfied Over
Developments.
BY CARLISLE BARGERON.
Senate Republicans have given up
hope of getting any real investiga
tion of politics in the W. P. A. and se
I cretly they are satisfied. They have
about decided they wouldn't know
what to do with a Senate investi
gation if one were authorized.
They are getting together their in
formation and plan to use it in a se
ries of speeches in the Senate. The
fact the Democratic leaders are sup
pressing an inquiry, they figure, helps
j them.
As the situation stands. Senator
; Davis. Republican, 01 Pennsylvania
has demanded an investigation of the
W. P. A. in his State. Senator Lewis
of Illinois, the Democratic whip and
chairman of the Senate Expenditures
Committee, couldn't see any harm in
this and reported back to the Senate
the Davis resolution with all of its
“whereases,” suggesting that politics
were running riot in the Pennsylvania
W. P. A. Senator Robinson, Demo
cratic leader, held a quick consulta
tion and Lewis gravely announced that
he had just been informed two addi
tional members had been appointed
to his committee. These were Sen
ators Barkley and Pittman, who see
eye to eye with the “Third Economy,’’
and Lewis explained that naturally
the resolution would have to go back
to committee.
Republicans Silent,
What would have allayed Robin
son's apprehensions about the in
j vestigation, had he noticed it, was
that not a single Republican Senator
questioned this procedure, whereas
all of the observers in the press gal
lery hooted at it. Anyway, the reso
lution was subsequently reported out
in a broadened form. It authorized
an expenditure of only $5,000, by
which Senators Lewis. Barkley and
Pittman could make an investigation
of W. P. A. in all the States. There
the matter has rested.
In the meantime, W. P. A. Admin
istrator Harry' L. Hopkins says he
doesn't believe any politics can be
hung on his organization. Of course,
now. if the Republicans are talking
about his policy of insisting that all
administrators accept the Roosevelt
philosophy, then that is something
else. Why, he. himself, wouldn't ex
pect to have his job if he didn’t be
i lieve in the Roosevelt philosophy, he
says frankly.
But the Republicans and also Sen
ator Holt. Democrat, of West Virginia,
insist they can prove politics even
beyond this requirement that W. P. A.
administrators accept the Roosevelt
philosophy, Hopkins says he doesn't
believe they will ever be able to show
a Republican is denied relief. That
is what he would call politics in the
W. P. A. But Davis says he can even
, show this: that he can show that a
requirement to receiving relief in Penn
sylvania is to become a New Dealer;
that not only does an administrator
; have to accept the Roosevelt philos
ophy. but a relief applicant has to do
the same thing. Holt has. In effect,
repeatedly charged the same thing in
the Senate.
Raushenbush Distributing.
What did give the New Dealers
pause was the appearance Thursday
of Stephen Raushenbush. who was the
chief investigator for the defunct Nye
Munitions Committee. Raushenbush.
with funds for further munitions in
vestigation cut off because the com
mittee trampled on the Wilson ad
1 ministration, and also because Sena
tors were perhaps envious of Nye's
making $15,000 a year on speeches
j about neutrality, has returned to his
! earlier endeavor, the Pennsylvania Se
curity League.
Raushenbush is an admitted left
winger and his organization is de
signed to stir up unrest among the
Pennsylvania relief workers. How
ever. the Republicans were particu
larly glad to have his support to their
charges. He charged that political
literature wfas being distributed with
W. P. A. checks and that although
he had written Hopkins three times
about it. he had received no answer.
DavLs and Senator Vandenberg, Re
publican, of Michigan have repeatedly
exhibited what purported to be photo
static evidence of relief administra
tors demanding that relief recipients
join up with the New Deal and con
trihnfa If
Short on Talent.
Senate Republicans are inclined to
admit, however, that the situation,
developing as it is. is probably for the
best, because if the Democrats were
to give them an investigation they
wouldn't know what to do with it.
They are admittedly short on investi
gating talent. They have no Senator
Black in their slender midst.
Vandenberg would be good, it is
agreed, but he is tied up with his dis
closures about payments to big A. A. A.
beneficiaries.
The lack of investigating talent or
one who could dramatize stories in the
Senate has been the Republicans'
worry for some time.
Every time the reporter runs into
what might be called the New York
crowd he is asked: “Oh, why doesn't
the Republican National Committee
do something? Why don't they get a
Charlie MicjfceLson?"
It is realized here that a Republican
Charlie Michelson would have no way
of getting his attack dramatized on
the Senate floor. The Republicans
have no Senator Joe Robinsons or Pat
Harrisons to carry out what has been
characterized as Mlchelson's great
smear campaign of Hoover. Realizing
what he was up against and pressed
to “do something,” Republican Chair
man Fletcher got a bunch of profes
sors. This was widely 'haled as a
Republican “brain trust” after what
the Republicans had said about the
New Deal's brain trust, too.
Professors for Research.
The Republicans think it is very
unfair, however, because they intend
to keep their professors on research
work, for which they think professors
are particularly adapted, not let them
be “executives” or “policy makers.” In
deed, Prof. Niles W. Carpenter of the
University of Buffalo, and cited as the
downright “liberal” among the bunch,
says he understands fully this is to be
his capacity and that he thinks it is
the capacity of professors.
Fletcher gives the definite promise
that if the Republicans are elected
none of the professors will be an
Undersecretary of Agriculture or a re
settlement administrator.

More Than 450 Applications
Filed for Free Course
at Y. M. C. A.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen yes
terday expressed the hope that every
boy in Washington between the ages
of 10 and 18 who cannot swim will
take the free learn-to-swim course
to be held this week under auspices
of The Star and the Young Men's
Christian Association.
As he was giving his Indorsement
to the campaign, scores of boys were
enrolling for the course at the Y. M.
C. A. boys' department. More than
450 boys had filed applications for
the ''swim school” yesterday afternoon
and additional applications were be
ing received last night—presenting an
overflow problem to be worked out by
Director James C. Ingram of the de
partment and Associate Director Fred
T. Carpenter. The registration period
closed yesterday.
No Better Exercise.
‘‘The learn-to-swim campaign de
serves every encouragement possible,"
Hazen declared. “There is probably
no better exercise for growing young
men than swimming, or for that mat
ter. Just splashing about in a pool.
But splashing about In a pool is dan*
gerous unless you know how to swim.
“The matter of safety in the water
is even more important than muscle
building, and I hope every young man
in Washington will take advantage of
the opportunity offered by The Star
and the Y. M. C. A.”
Roland M. Brennan, secretary to the
Board of Commissioners, added his
indorsement as follows:
"Persons who can’t swim deprive
themselves of one of the finest forms
of sport by being compelled to stick
to shallow water. But deep water is
dangerous unless you know how to take
care of yourself. Once you learn to
swim, though, you can't forget it.
Protection of Life.
“If every one learned to swim as a
youngster, the annual toll of drown
ings at Summer resorts and beaches
would be reduced materially. In fact,
it might approach the vanishing point,
for good swimmers learn how to avoid
taking desperate chances.”
William Hutzell, swimming director
of the “Y” boys’ department and*
coach of the “Y” team, which recently
won the A. A. U. championship for
the District of Columbia, will head the
group of swimming instructors for the
learn-to-swim course. In this group
will be Dallas Shirley, William Pry,
Maj. J. S. Hawley, C. C. Mullady, :
David Tobin, J. J. Hengstler and Ed
ward H. Thacker. The “Y" Junior
Swimming Leaders Corps will assist.
The first class will enter the "Y”
boys’ pool tomorrow at 9 a.m. Other
classes will be held almost hourly
during the day. The American crawl
stroke will be taught.
