BILL WILL HALT ALLEGED GRAFT IN PATRONAGE Promise of Remedial Legislation in Congress Seems Possible. Times 'Wnshinnton Bureau, in 22 New York Avenue WASHINGTON, May 20.—Whether or not Administration Congressmen can succeed in blocking the proposed investigation of Federal patronage distribution in the South, promise of some remedial legislation In Congress seems possible. The opening wedge in the drive to purge the system by which postmasters and other Federal officials are appointed in Democratic States, is presented in a bill Just unanimously reported out of the House Judiciary Committee. The measure proposed by Representative Harry Wurzbach, lone Republican from Texas, provides that every official appointed by the President must within thirty days file a sworn statement with the controller general stating that neither he nor any one acting in his behalf has paid or promised to pay any consideration to any one for the position. No Penalty The bill also embraces any Federal official appointed by the head of any Government department or by a court of law. Until the affdavit is filed no salary Is to be paid to the official. Except for this last provision, no penalty is provided. Representative Stevenson of South Carolina, is endeavoring to have tho hill provide that a line or jail sentence be imposed on any official who admits paying money to obtain his position. Wurzbach, although a Republican, is at sword’s points with the Republican organization in that State having bitterly denounced R. B. Creagor, Texas, national committeeman and Postmaster General Harry S. New on the House floor for methods used in , appointing postmasters and awarding contracts for postal buildings in the Lone Star State. . Wurzbach accused Creagor of leading a “pie counter’’ brigade which has sought to discredit him with Republican administrations in Washington since his first election in 1020. Wurzbach declared Creagor has conspired with his former secretary in 1021 in procuring forged letters with which to poison the mind of President Harding. Wurzbach further alleged that when this secretary, P. W. Reeves, at present a fugitive from justice, was under investigation at Sugerland, Texas, on a charge of having forged an endorsement on a veteran’s compensation check that both Creagor and former Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty interceded In Reeve’s behalf. “I am forced to the conclusion that Creager protected this criminal not because he justified or condoned iiis criminal conduct, but l>ocause lie had put himself in Reeves' power when lie conspired with him in the spring of 1921 in procuring bogus and forged letters with which to poison President Harding's mind against me,” Wurzbach said in the House recently.
