Appro- priations Committee are expected to vote against this $20,000 unless their colleague, Themas, is exempt from further inquiry. Also it looks as if enough Republicans would join them to the gentleman from Okla- save homa. That is why hard-hitting Sena- tor Styles Bridges of New Hamp- shire, Chairman of the Appropria- tions Committee and who favors a iull and fearless invéstigation, has worked out a plan with Ferguson to transfer the speculation probe over to the Senate Expenditures Committee. Ferguson is also a member of this committee, and would have the support not only of its courageous chairman, Aiken of Vermont, but of a more liberal committee membership, including Thye (Minn.), Hickenlooper (Iowa), and Taylor (Idaho). Note— Aside from Bridges and Ferguson, the Senate Appropria- tions Committee includes some of the most reactionary members in the Senate— McKellar (Tenn.), Brooks, (Ill) Wherry (Neb.) Dworshak (Idaho), McCarran (Nev.), Overton (La.), and Thomas himself. LOYAL U. S. SERVANTS Pecple who have been worried about the red scare and the spec- ter of spies working inside the U. S.
