“VOTE FRAUDS”
By Hal Cooper
Washington, June 6. (AP —
Senate investigators asked three
federal judges and a If. S. district
. attorney today to tell how they
reached the conclusion that the
government lacked grounds to act
against alleged democratic vote
, frauds in Kansas City.
The witnesses are District At-
torney Sam Wear and Judge Al-
bert L. Reeves, Albert A. Ridge
and John Caskic Collet.
Hotly denying that the Justice
department tried to "whitewash”
irregularities in the primary last
August, Attorney General Clark
told the senators yesterday the
judges decided “the e* idcncc was
* not sufficient.”
In the primary Rep. Roger
Slaughter, strongly opposed by
President Truman, was defeated
' for renomination by Enos Axtell.
Axteli was beaten In the Novem-
ber election by Albeit L. Reeves,
Jr., republican nominee and son
of the judge.
, The justice department last fall-
looked into reports* or fraud in
the democratic primary and
Wear decided there was no basis
• for prosecution. Eater the Kan-
sas City Star made its own in-
vestigation and — largely on evi-
dence the newspaper produced—
a state grand jury has indicted !
% 78 persons on charges of violating
the election laws.

WASHINGTON, June 6~(AP)
—Senator Murray (D-Mont.) said
today the Talt-Hartley labor bill
“constitutes a declaration” that
system.”
Murray assailed the bill to re-
strict union rctivlttes as the Re-
publican leedership drove for a
final senate vote and dispatch of
oped in Orange.
Tiie result of years of experi-
menting to develpp a breed suit-

“Pinehurst Bra-Swiss". Devel-

Secretary of the Navy Forerstal
said today the United States, to
avoid another war, must solve
“political, economic and security
problems such as the nation has
never faced."
This country is the "principal
'•ore of stability in a world sha-
ken by six years of bitter and
destructive fighting," Forrestal
s id in an address prepared for
the graduating class of the naval
academy.
He predicted that the years a-
head will be "more deeply vexed
and troubled" than those which
have confronted any generation
since the start of the Civil War.

"Today the foundations of con-
trol and authority are shaken,”
ForrcStal continued.

. AUSTIN. Tex., June 8— (AP)—
The State of Texas ran out of mon-
ey and the 50th legislature ran out
of time a few minutes after noon
today, bringing the session to *
close.
Presiding officers of both the
House, and Senate announced that
the sesalon was over except for
the formalities of signing bills and
similar matters.
As the minute hand on the deck
crawled past thc last live mln'uti
mark on the dial, the Senate mus-
tered a 23 to 0 vote to pass the
first veterans legislation measure
of the tes: Ion. II had been approv-
ing earlier by the House 112 to 0.

the measure by Rep. George

a five-man .commission to replace
the present Veterans State Service
office. The new board, to be
known as the State Board of Vet-
ereq$, Aflajrs, will take over ap-
propriations approved for th*
present system.
By a 19 to 10 vote the Senate
failed to su:pcnd adjournment
rules for last minute action on the
proposed constitutional amend-
ment sirhich would lift the state
celling of $38,000,000 for »t«te
welfare services, which tnc'udee
old age assistance payments.
All Wound Up
At 11:07 p. m. the Senate con-
cluded consideration of any but
routine business. It was through
for tbe session.
The last important question fin-
ally resolved was that of deficit
financing.
The session's end was virtually
coincident with an announcement
from the comptroller that he could
certify no more appropriations
