WASHINGTON, July 86—Vice | President Henry A. Wallace and {Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones may be asked to tell the house rules committee what they think of a proposed congressional investigation of their current feud, members indicated today. Rules Committee Chairman Adolph Sabath (D. Ill) suggested [that “we give an ovportunity to be heard to those who would be investigated.” Rep. E. E. Cox (D. Ga.) supported the suggestion. The administration's congressional leaders seemed determined to avoid investigation of the dispute, which is rapidly widening from controversy over procurement of strategic materials to questions of government spending and post-war ideologies. Wallace and Jones specifically accuse each other of lying about the strategic materials procurement program. ' But their dispute reflects other major disagreements between conservative elements and New Dealers within the Democratic party.
Proposes Majority Veto Svinptomatic of this intra-party
man Hatton W. Sumners (D. Tex.) of the house judiciary committes, of a constitutional amendment to permit congress to override a veto with a simple instead of a twothirds majority. Another is the bill by Rep. Sam Hobbs (D. Ala) to make it uniawful for the government—especially Mr. Roosevelt's executive branch— to employ any person vho is or has been engaged in subversive activities. The Jones-Wallace controversy took a new twist last night with Jones’ charges and implications that Wallace's board of economic warfare was overly concerned with post-war ideologies, and engaged in ill-planned, “hysterical” operations which wasted the taxpayers’ money.
Perkins Revives Charges

Jones, of course, holds only appointive office from the President.
Committee Meets Today
Jones repeatedly demanded a congressional investigation last week
although he did not press the matter in his latest public statement which was in the form of a treport to the senaté appropriations committee with a covering letter to Chairman Carter Glass (D. Va.) Republicans have offered investigation resolutions in both the house and senate. But house Democratic leaders are understood to have passed word that the investigation, if any, should be made by the senate, of which Wallace is the presiding officer. Senator H. Styles Bridges (R. N. H), who offered the senate resolution, said he would seek consideration of the matter when the senate meets today.
“Differences Are Serious”
“Here we have two officials,” he said, “one saying one thing and one saying something else. The differs ences are serious and both can’t be right. The one who's wrong ought to be fired.” But the bars appear already to be up against Bridges’ investigation. The resolution provided that the question of an investigation should be determined by and the inquiry conducted by the senate military affairs committee. Senator Robert R. Reyholds (D. N. ©), a frequent critic of the administration, is chairman of that committee. But the Bridges resoution was sent, instead, to the banks ing and currency committee whose chairman, Senator Robert FP. Wags ner (D. N. Y), is a notable New Dealer. Here is what Wagner says: “There probably won't be any ine vestigation. Many of the committee members do not think we should

bring this dispute out in the open any further because of the need for preserving wartime unity.” Jones’ statement made public last night was a matter of 30 mimeographed pages. It remarked that Wallace's charges against RFC had been based on procurement operations of relatively few of the materials being purchased abroad. Jones denied obstructing any of the programs but instead that Wallace’s own board had proved its “incompetence in the work they are attempting to do.”
Calls It Falsehood Referring to Wallace's charge that he had misinformed a senate committee regarding fiscal relations between BEW and RFC, Jones said: “This is a falsehood out of the whole cloth.” Another Wallace charge that he had harassed BEW in its war effort, was described by Jones ‘as silly and ridiculous as it is false.” Jones said he would plead guilty to the charge that he sought to save the taxpayers’ money, adding that “squandering the people's money even in wartime is no proof of patriotism.”

sian front with the Soviets attacking in the strength of a company (200 men).
38 Tanks Destroyed
One hundred German tanks blasted their way through the Soviet forward defense line between Orel and Kursk, 85 miles to the south, during the night, but ran into heavy depth defense fire that wrecked 38 of them and sent the survivors scurrying back to their own lines, the Soviet midday communique said. Altogether 50 enemy tanks, including 10 of the Mark VI “Tiger” class, were destroyed in this one sector alone, German infantry units which tried to exploit the initial tank break-through were hurled back and the forward defense line was restored. In another sector on the OrelKursk front, one Soviet detachment damaged or set fire to 17 German tanks and, according to incomplete data, wiped out over 4000 German officers and men. It was on the Orel-Kursk front that the Germans hammered out the only gain they have been able to maintain for more than a few hours since the start of the offensive early vesterday.
3000 Troops Slain
The Monday midnight eommunique said that a small axis detachment broke through Soviet forward defenses to a depth of 550 yards yesterday, but finally was halted by concentrated artillery fire. The mid-day communique did not mention this break-through. Farther south, the Russians were putting up a stonewall defense against major German tank and infantry attacks near Belgorod. Two thousand German soldiers and officers were killed and 85 enemy tanks disabled or burned in one sector alone during the night, in addition to 3000 troops slain yesterday, the mid-day communique said. Red air force pilots on the Bel-
there was only a scant supply in their warehouses. Shipments from breweries in Indiana cities outside Indianapolis are curtailed. That means an increased demand on the only local brewery in operation, the Indianapolis Brewing Co. That company is endeavoring to meet increased demands upon it, but officials admitted that it cannot take care of all needs.
Malt Supply Low
Added to the cap, bottle and cooperage shortage is an inadequate supply of malt. The bar manager at one leading hotel ran out of beer at 11 o'clock last night “and the only thing that kept us open until closing time was orders for mixed drinks.” The operator of one popular North side tavern said that “I've got an adequate supply of beer, but I'm still not going to let that first bottle go out the door.” The manager of a popular downtown tavern and eating spot said that he had an adequate supply of draught beer, but that the supply of bottled beer was limited to one brand.

“Hundreds of enemy dead mained on the battlefield,” communique said.
Attack Scores
The Germans also won a temporary success southwest of Mtsensk, 40 miles northeast of Orel. Throwing upward of 6000 men against the Soviet positions, the Germans penetrated several trenches near a height of great importance. Here, too, a Russian ccunter-at-tack restored the situation. More

The Soviet high command long had anticipated a German offensive in this sector, since reconnaissance had established that the Germans had concentrated the main bulk of the 218 Nazi and satellite divisions on the eastern front between Orel and Belgorod.

For an average of 1014 tons of supplies and equipment goes overseas with every American soldier . . . and after he lands on the other side, he'll get another ton-and-a-half a month
to keep him going!
Almost every pound of these military supplies speeds over America's hard-working rails . . . in addition to organized troop movements totalling 2 million men monthly, and about the same number traveling on furlough.
Add this to the tremendous volume of freight that flows to and from the nation’s war plants... plus the increased number of civilian passengers traveling on essential war business. Then you can understand why passenger and freight traffic on the New York Central—which serves the busy heart of industrial America—has more than doubled
since World War II began.
But although the Central's traffic load today is more than twice as great, it must be carried with limited new equipment. That's why we suggest that, if you are planning a trip, you consider:
Our soldiers can’t travel light . . . but most of the
rest of us can!
Troop movements must go through on schedule . . . but most of us, with little inconvenience, can plan ahead to travel during the week instead of on crowded weekends.
Our soldiers must travel at certain times to make the most of their few days’ furlough, Therefore, the rest of us should cancel reservations immediately when plans change... so that they may use the seats or berths that might otherwise be wasted.
Every locomotive, every car, every seat, every berth ‘must do a full-time job. With your help and understanding, it will be done!
