B—10 SENATE: PREPARED FOR MAJOR PROBES Lobbying, Railroad Financ- ing and U. S. Entry Into War Top List. By the Associated Press. The Senate, long famous for sensa- tionai investigations, is ready to break all records at the coming session with three major inquiries. Committees investigating lobbying, railroad financing, and America’s entry into the World War, are loaded down with evidence for hearings early in the year. Large staffs of investigators have collected enough material to keep each | committee in almost continuous session for months. Two of them are “champ- ing at the bit” to get started. Morgan Co. to Figure. The banking house of J. P. Morgan | & Co, which has figured in other Senate inquiries, will play a leading part in two of the investigations. January 6 has been set as the start- | ing date for the Munitions Committee, | which is studying currents which drew America into the World War. The Lobby Committee may begin even -ooner, while the railroad financing inquiry probably will lag a little behind. | Munitions Committee members are anxious to get their evidence before the public in time for use in drafting new neutrality legislation. The present neutrality law expires by the end of Fcbruary. The Lobby Committee, with plcnty of time, probably will hold hearings throughout the session and perhaps well into next Summer. Chairman Black has been here for months pre- paring evidence. Probe to Be Broadened. Although the committee confined its attentions last year to lobbying on the utility holding company bill and the ship subsidy legislation, it will broaden the inquiry this time to cover lobbying in other fields. Less has been disclosed about the work of the Railroad Financing Com- mittee. It has had the larger staff of all at work, under the direction of Max Lowenthal, former consultant to Ferdinand Pecora, Senate stock mar- ket investigator. Plans for hearings will not be made until Chairman Wheeler returns from the Philippines. But the committee, with the co-operation of the Interstate | Commerce Commission, has been studying the financing of the Van Sweringen System, the Pennsylvania and affiliated companies, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and activity of the railroad associations. The inqury will reach into the big railroad banking houses of Morgan | and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., as well as | others less famous. Bankers will fig- ure also in the munitions he.lrmxs. ’\Pw Sllver Bill Worth One Dollar In Spite of Looks Treasury Certificate Available Next Wednesday. If after next Tuesday someone | hands you a dollar bill of unfamiliar design, don’t refuse it or yell for po- lice without thinking twice. It probably will be one of the new £1 silver certificates which Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau announced today will be n\‘uUlhle' at most banks next Wednesday. Instead of the familiar portrait of George Washington, the front of the new bills will display the obverse of | the Great Seal of the United States, with the well-known eagle design and ‘E Pluribus Unum” motto. On the back, however, will be the | 'ittle known reverse of the Great Seal. | Shown for the first time on any money, it is an unfinished pyramid, urmounted by an eye in a triangular | lory (a device radiating light), and | ~ars two Latin mottoes. The motto above the design fis | Annuit Coeptis"—“He (God) pros- vered our endeavors.” The lower motto is “Novo Ordo Seculorum”—“a new order of the ages.” This suggests | hat the New Deal may have had omething to do with it, but the seal, mottoes and all, was adopted in 1782, the first committee on the seal hav- ng been formed July 4, 1776, wlth Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson | and John Adams as members. Both mottoes are condensations of excerpts .rom Vergil's “Aeneid.” Announces | Love Stories Rare In Paper Written By and For Young Founder'of Unique Pub- lication Says Serials, Poetry Are Popular. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, December 12.—Con- tributors to the Oak Leaf, St. Louls’ unique publication, seldom submit love stories. But they do go strong for serials and poetry. The monthly magazine was launched | recently by Mrs. Frances Allison Por- | ter, Bryn Mawr graduate and mother of two children, for writers and read- ers under 15 years old. Its h in the words of Mrs. Porter, is “to discover and encourage superior tal- ent.” | The first two issues were gobbled | up and already there is an oversupply of material. “You can’t turn around without | throwing a rock at a good author,” Porter observed toda "The difficult part is judg is interesting from the child’s point |of view. I don't want my opinions |or my ideas of what they ought to have to prevail. Logic is a first es- sential. The modern child is the first to sense illogical statements or | conclusions. “I have been surprised at the eom- plete sexlessness of our boy and girl contributors. Few love stories make | their appearance and boys’ activities appear to interest girls as much as boys. “Outdoor subjects are given first | consideration. Observations that have to do with applications of science are encouraged. Naturally they like fairy tales, humor, adventure, sports sub- jects. I have been surprised at the demand and supply of serials. And | poets seem to need no encouragement | whatever.” FRICK COLLECTION . 10 OPEN NONDAY Art Treasures Bequeathed | to Public Viewed by Final Select Group. By the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, December 12.—A final | | select group of guests yesterday viewed the art treasures of the late Henry Clay Frick, whose Fifth avenue man- sion will be opened next Monday for | the public, to which he bequeathed it | 16 years ago. State and city officials, museum di- | rectors and others interested in art | were led through former living quar- | ters turned into exhibition halls. On every side they were confronted with treasures of unestimated value—works | by creators whose names might serve as an outline for a history of art. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Gift Made in 1919. | The gift of his art collections and | | mansion and an endowment of sev- | eral million dollars was made in his will in 1919, but Mrs. Frick was al- lowed to continue to use the home | until her death in 1931. Then s base- ment storage vault was built to house the collection while the house was being enlarged and remodelled. The }mnns{on was renovated and s new wing added and some important addi- | tions to the collection have been made by purchase. The trustees “foresaw in the Frick collection an example of American domestic architecture and life of the early twentieth century, comparable to the houses of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, which are now being preserved as historical | monuments.” It is the result of this foresight that will be offered to the public, without admission charge, next week and thereafter.
