The Senate Campaign Investigat- | ing Committee began running down complaints of “slush funds” and other political misdeeds in five.States today as Senator Neely, Democrat, of West Virginia sought G-men to assist committee agents already or- dered into his State. Chairman Gillette, in announcing the committee had sent or was dis- patching investigators to Nebraska, West Virginia, Missouri, Maryland and Kansas, would not disclose the source of the complaints. But it was an open secret around the Senate that in most instances they originated with sitting Sena- tors. Senator Neely confirmed this as far as West Virginia was con- cerned. Senator Gillette said investigators had been ordered into that State to look into complaints of “improper use of funds and official influence” in the Democraticv senatorial cam- aign. He added that if the charges were substantiated even in part, they would reflect a condition ‘relative to the control of the election ma- chinery which is subversive and de- structive of the opportunity of the electorate to register its opinions at the polls.” Senator Neely later told reporters he had requested the ihquiry to “prevent the Statehouse machine from debauching and corrupting the election with the use of money and whisky and all the other things that money can buy.” He said he also had requested help from G-men and had held a “very satisfactory” conference with Attor- ney General Jackson. Senator Gillette said investigators THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 25 1940. were going to Nebraska to look into complaints of large expenditures in the recent primaries, with “particu- lar reference” to the presidentigl preference primary. He would not name the political party involved, but said it would not be “hard to guess.” Thomas E. Dewey won over Sena- tor Vandenberg of Michigan in Nebraska's Republican primary; President Roosevelt was unopposed on the Democratic ballot. Investigators are going to Mis- sourl, Senator Gillette said, to in- quire into charges of “improper use of funds and official influence” -in connection with the Democratic senatorial campaign and the selec- tion of Democratic convention dele- gates. London (Continued From First Page.) would consider making the Com- munist party llegal, Sir John said consideration was being given to the general aspect of the question. One member of Parliament, Wil- liam Gallacher, is a Communist. The Minister for Home Security said he was “carefully watching the activities of certain small groups of people, of whom some appear to be deliberately anxious to hinder the war effort.” Little Effect From Activities. Sir John, who also is Home Sec- retary, declared to a cheering House that the “national resolution that the war must be waged with all our strength is such that these activi- ties have had so far little practical effect.” “Nevertheless, possible conse- quences of continuous attempts to impede the war effort cannot be ig- nored,” he said, adding that he was considering measures to check such activities. “The question of what steps can properly be taken to check propaga- tion (propaganda) of a harmful kind was discussed when defense regula- tions were debated October 31,” he said. “There was general agreement that every effort should be made even in wartime to avoid interfer- ence with propagation of opinions here by small minorities. ~ “Liberty allowed by our traditional principles of freedom may be abused, but experience has showed that some are anxious to destroy that liberty.” Before defense regulations would be iightened, he said, there would be further consultations with members of the Labor and Liberal parties. More War Spending Demanded. Meanwhile, with allied forces en- gaged in a crucial contest with the German invaders of Norway and with the war once again brought to the British Isles by a new German bombing smash in the region of Scapa Flow, naval anchorage in the Orkneys, there rose a cry in Com- mons that the $10,000,000,000 war budget now under debate is not bold enough. There were assertions that even greater sacrifices must be demanded of British taxpayers. Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir John Simon was expected to give a further explanation of his efforts to marshall the empire’s financial re- sources when he speaks before Com- mons tonight. Scapa Flow Raided. Germany replied to the Royal Air Force’s intensive Tuesday night aerial bombardment of bases in Den- mark and Norway with another as- sault on Scapa Flow, north of Scot- land. A British communique said anti-aircraft batteries and fighter planes beat off the “numerous air- craft.” The raiders were said to have dropped only a few bombs which caused no damage and no casualties. The explosives were said to have been dumped on the desolate coun- try in the Island of Hoy and one of the planes was reported to have turned its machine gun on a road- way. Apparently no bombs were dropped at Scapa Flow itself.

Fighting Northeast of Narvik. 2. Fighting is proceeding 19 miles northeast of Narvik, German-held Norwegian port sbove the Arctic Circle, between German troops ahd “stronger enemy forces.” 3. Elsewhere in Norway German successes north of Trondheim after the occupation of Steinkjer have in- creased the protection of the Trond- heim region and the rgil line from it to the Swedish border against at- tacks from the north. German troops advanced north and north- west in the Oslo region; warplanes attacked allied forces on the march and at concentration points. 4. At sea, “two enemy submarines were destroyed” in the Skagerrak; a fleet of French destroyers was put to flight; a British cruiser “was se- verely hit and ceased fighting as fire broke out” after a German warplane attack off the Norwegian coast; and Germany put into servige two mod- ern Norwegian destroyers with Ger- man crews. 5.

That German diplomacy at the same time is feverishly at work in Sweden was indicated when corre- spondents asked about trade nego- tiations proceeding now between Sweden and Germany. One authorized source replied significantly: “Not much can be said until the Swedes have decided where they stand.” ‘When asked to interpret this, he continued: “Of course we have no designs whatever upon Sweden. But it is conceivable that England may de- mand that Sweden discontinue sup- plying Germany with certain things. Then Sweden must choose. “Just to illustrate how friendly we are toward Sweden: I am revealing no secret if I say that Field Marshal Goering regards Sweden as his second home. He reads Swedish papers daily, “Germany has always had the most cordial relations with Sweden, but these relations have been espe- cially close since Adolf Hitler has been at Germany’s helm.” John Barrymore Colt Marries in Elkton By the Associated Press.
