AK A 7?A ETVESTIGATIOII When George Bernard Shaw, famous playwright, visited the San Francisco immigration bureau in company with his wife to have hii f. ngerpririts taken, it was not because he was an "undesirable alien" or candidate for the "rogues' gallery", but because it was required before he could continue on his world cruise.. Washington. A renewed republi can demand for investigation of the work progress administration was sounded in the senate after Senator Robinson, the democratic leader, had assailed critics of the new deal's relief program. Senator Vandenberg (r., Mich.), said charges of "political exploitation" warranted a WPA in quiry. Frora a democrat, Hayden of Ariz ona, came a suggestion that congress appropriate 700 million for non-federal public works projects, with local communities to put up 55 cents for every federal dollar spent. Hayden raid the "expenditure of vast sums" by Secretary Ickes' PWA "has been marred by no scandal." Robinson accused the republican high command and the army air force be made five times its present fighting strength as a means of national defense. By unanimous vote they favorably reported the bill offered by Chair man McSwain (D.) of South Caro lina, authorizing : 4,000 fighting planes for the army. The army now has 1,700 planes, but the actual fighting strength is only 776, according to Assistant War Secretary Woodring. The highest previous recommen dation came from the Baker board, which proposed 2,230 fighting planes for the army. Administration lead ers indicated in view of the European situation there would be quick action on the McSwain bill. It would have to be followed, how ever, by an actual appropriation from congress to cover the cost of con struction, estimated at around 100 million dollars. Representative William H. Rogers (D.) of New Hampshire, will report tbe bill to the house and seek quick action on it. Action of the military affairs committee followed recent passage by the house of a 550 mil lion dollar army appropriation bill, which will be followed within a week or 10 days by a half billion dollar navy appropriation. Euild Army Posts. Simultaneously a bill was Intro duced in the housa to build up army posts to war needs through an ap propriation of 3S million dollars. The measure was sponsored by Repre sentative Maury Maverick (D.) of Texas, also a member of the military affairs committee. It called especially for improve ment of army posts in the southwest as follows: Ft. Snm Houston, $5,276,000; Camp Eullis, ?82,500; Camp Stanley, $1,014000; San Antonio arsenal, $233,000; Normoyle dept., ?1,000, 000; Kelly Field. $7,224,000; Brooks Iield $4,375,000; Randolph Field, $843,000; Duncan Field $2,310,000. Columbus, O. Dr. Edward B. Dun ford, national counsel for the Anti saloon league of America, advised the wets and the drys to "laugn at each other, forget your pet prejudices, and start all over again on the solution ! of the liquor problem." Dunford, addressing an annual meeting of the Anti-saloon league of Ohio, advocated establishing a sta tistical method by which the facts with respect to the controversial sub ject may be obtained. "'Tne drys promised a reformed society if prohi bition were adopted, and were dis appointed," he declared. "The wets promised to bring it about thru re peal, and are rapidly being dis illusioned. The liquor problem is still with us."

Tilden, Neb. Flames, believed to have started while someone was stealing gasoline from the local fire truck, broke out in the truck about midnight and destroyed the vehicle, leaving Tilden without adequate fire fighting apparatus. Firemen for a time were unable to learn the loca tion cf the fire because the night telephone operator was not notified, altho the fire siren had sounded. While firemen were attempting to find the blaze, their truck was being consumed. - The truck was in the pump house in the west end of Til den, which was partially burned. A piece of hose and a can of gasoline were found near the truck. The gaso line tank cap had been removed and was on the seat; EEOWK GIVEN" EIGHT YEARS Sidney, Iowa, March 0. Charles H.
