_A-14 FUND T0 CONTINUE ARMS QUIZ SOUGHT Senate Will Be Asked for More Money to Expand Investigation. By the Associated Pre:s. The Senate Munitions Committee will ask the Senate in January for money to extend its inquiry into the activities of steel manufacturers, ship builders and bankers. The chief objective of public hear- ings the committee will open tomor- row is to uncover enough evidence about the munitions industry to con- vince the Senate and the Natmu tia investigation should continue, Members of the investigating group expressed confidence today that the evidence will accomplish this. They | said disclosures of efforts to block peace conferences will shock the world. But so far, committee members say, they have only “scratched the sur- face.” They have not had time or money, they add, to go into the steel or shipbuilding industries, or the big banks. ‘That will require a large new ap- propriation. The original fund of $50.000 is gone and the committee’s staff is working this month with- | out pay. | When the committee reports to | Congress in January it may make some preliminary recommendations for legislation. Already it has delved into the trade in munitions. One member said today that a majority of the committee favors nationaliza- tion of the munitions industry, with strict governmental control over the manufacture of airplanes.

It was estimated at least half of “the trees cut are shipped out of the Btate, with the majority going to Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Kansas City. The cash value of the crop was said to range between $300,- 000 and $500,000 a year. FARMER KILLS WIDOW, THEN ENDS OWN LIFE Mother of Two Shot to Death by Suitor of Whose Attentions She Tired.

C., MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1934 LONG DENIES BASIS OF EDITORS’ PROTEST Says “Big Ten” College Group Would Regret Action if It Knew Truth. By the Assoclated Press. NEW ORLEANS, December 3.—Sen- ator Huey P. Long, answering a crit- icism from Western Conference col- lege editors, telegraphed them yester- day that he had “never censored or undertaken to censor anything pub- lished at Louisiana State University.” The Big Ten Editorial Association at & meeting in Chicago adopted a resolution Saturday condemning Long for his “unwarranted censorship” of the Revielle, L. 8. U., student news- paper, and his “demogogic political ;neddnnx in purely educational af- airs.” In a telegram, almost 1,000 words long, the Senator recited his efforts to aid education in Louisiana and de- clared that if he himself had had the advantage of a college training “I might have made our work better un- derstood and myself less bantered for the building of the State’s institution.” The editorial staff of the Reveille resigned last week because it was told nothing derogatory to Long would be permitted in its columns. Twenty-six journalism students were subsequently suspended for protesting the *“cen- sorship.” ‘The Senator said in his telegram that since’he took control of things in Louisiana he had raised L. 8. U. from a “class C” rating to “A-plus” rating. “I believe every one of you would be ashamed of your action in lending your arm to such an effort if you un- derstood the truth,” he said.
