The investigating committee was anpointed Tuesday by Vice President Garner. Its job is larger than in for- mer years, not only because of the accelerated pace of campaign ex- penditures, as shown in recent re- ports filed with congress, but also be- cause it has authority to inquire into charges of politics in the spending of relief funds. Chairman of the committee is Sen- ator Lonergan (Dem., Conn.). Others on the committee are Senators Min- ton (Dem. Ind.), Schwelienbach (Dem., Wash.), LaFollette (Prog., Wis.) and Austin, (Rep., Vt.). Lonergan said he probably would not call the committee together un- til next week. Charves of politics in relief have echoed in the senate, where attempts by Republicans to get a special com- mittee with power to investigate them has so far proved unsuccessful One of the first cases before the committee may be the charge by phen Raushenbush, formerly chief of the senate munitions com- e staff, that politics was linked with the administration of the WPA in Pennsylvania. The Lonergan committee begins with an appropriation of $30,000. Similar committees have been ereated for each election for many CONTINUED) Knox Beats Borah In Illinois Election kindly presentation of facts to the youth of the nation.” ‘The president’s suggestion to keep all under 18 in school and retire those over 65 was described as “impossible” by Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the Republican national committee. Jouett Shouse, president of the American Liberty League, declared “It would seem that Mr. Roosevelt pro- poses the revival of the NRA scheme i without enlightening the coun- try as to how he intends to carry out his proposals and without daring to risk the political consequences of out- lining the necessary constitutional amendment.” Nebraska Is Puzzle Nebraska’s primary election gave ‘few clues Wednesday as to which Re- publican presidential candidate the state's delegation will support at the Cleveland’ convention next June. An upset victory in the Nebraska race for the Democratic senate nom- ination was in sight for former Con- gressman Terry Carpenter of Scotta- bluff, @ Townsend pension plan ad- vocate. With 1,417 of 2,025 precincts tabu- lated, he led J. C. Quigley of Valen- tine, chairman of the Democratic state committee, by about 4,000 votes. The returns indicated no general response to a last minute campaign to write-in the name of Senator George W. Norris for re-election on both party tickets. In the Demo- cratic primary 585 votes were re- corded for him and in the Republi- can 628. Observers were in doubt about the meaning of the preferential vote for Republican nominee for president. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, the only candidate to have his name on the ballot, polled 41,717 votes in 1,264 precincts. Gov. Alf. M. Landon of Kansas drew 9,147 write-in votes, Col. Frank Knox of Chicago 128 and Herbert Hoover 200. Nebraska's 14 delegates to each of the national conventions will be un- instructed, however. President Roosevelt was unopposed in the Democratic primary and the Democratic delegate candidates all ran on New Deal platforms. The presidents’ vote was 179,354. Robert G, Simmons of Lincoln, the Republican senatorial nominee two years ago, won the GOP nomination again this year, beating out his near- est rivals about 4 to 1. A belated at- tempt to nominate Senator George W. Norris for reelection was unsuccess- ful. In 793 precincts hedhad 460 Demo- cratic write-ins and in 765 precincts he had 178 Republican votes, Senator Edward R. Burke of Oma- ha had almost a 4,000 vote lead in the tight three-cornered race for Demo- cratic national committeeman. Gov. R. L, Cochran and Dwight Griswold again were nominated to meet in the general gubernatorial election in November. Griswold twice has been the GOP nominee for gov- ernor. u Checking of Screens Summer Safeguard With the approach of the warmer months home owners will find it prac- tical to check screens throughout the house. In cases where new screening is found to be necessary, funds with which to finance this type of property improvement may be obtained from private financial institutions operat: ing under the Federal Housing ed- ministration’s Modernization Credit Plan. Proper screening is particular- Jy necessary to combat the attacks of “many insects, particularly mosqui- DB toes, during the summer. A. T. T.

The total business done as repre- sented by bank debits reached the impressive total of $40,359,000 in March as compared with $38,387,000 @ year before. Fargo continued to lead in bank debits with $13,110,000, closely follow- ed by Bismarck with $12,443,000. | Weather Report | WEATHER FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Fair tonight and Thursday; not so cold Thursday after- noon.

Eerie, mysterious “happenings up at every turn and kept a » Which alternated between hearty laughs and genuine shrieks of horror, sitting on the edge of chairs and nervously ¢rumpling programs. Laughs and gasps of amasement at the ghostly perpetrations on the stage came so close upon each other that there were few quiet moments. Harrison Monk, Emery T. Putnam and Ted Campagna freshened laurels already won in local theatrieal en- deavors. Makes Hit as Monk, appearing as Jasper, the col- ored servant, gave a masterful pro- Jection of a difficult comedy char- acterization, recalling his earlier suc- cess in a similar role in “Spooks” of last season. Voice, gesture and car. tage were consistently those of a frightened darky and established him as the favorite. Campagna’s projection of Mr. Gray, & dope addict, was the most difficult in the piece and his capable handling of the role brought him a burst of well earned applause in the third act. His laugh and sibilant whispers will not be forgotten by those who see the drama. Putnam’s mastery of stage technic has never been more apparent than it was in his portrayal of Dr. DeFormer, eccentric owner of the haunted home on Harlan cliff where the action occurs. It was one of the middle-aged character parts in which he is at his best. Miss Wheeler Only Woman Miss Beth Wheeler, only feminine member of the cast, brightened the piece with her careful interpretation of Florence Waller, a thrill-seeking newspaper reporter. David Davis, playing opposite her and making his Players’ debut, showed promise of de- veloping into an actor of merit. Art Cram, also a newcomer, made ® notable conttibution with his well delivered pag and brisk action as ise. Upholds High Standard In entertainment and dramatic values, the play ranks with the previ- ous Players’ successes of this season and it is to be hoped that Tuesday night’s small audience will not be re- peated in the second showing. The weird sound and lighting effects are even more elaborate than in the “Spooks” performance which was £0 well received. Music between the acts is provided by the Bismarck Little Symphony or- chestra, making enjoyable the waits which are unusually short for an mateur production. The Community Players next will present Herman Petérs. in “The Sap” May 4-5 in the kame auditorium. BOE TO TALK Grand Forks, N. D., April 15.—(?)— President L.
