Charge Federal Employees Leave Wartime Je by For Politics.
Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.— Why the war manpower commission freezes bther workers in their wartime jobs, but releases its own teoflight employees for wogk with the C. L O. Political Action Committee is to be investigated by the Dies committée; it was learned today. Rep. Joe Starnes (D. Ala.), chairman of the Dies subcommittee to investigate the Political Action Committee, said this matter will be one of the first to be considered. He expects to hold hearings soon. According to Robert Stripling, chief of the Dies investigating staff, Charlotte Carr quit her $6500-a-
"year post as assistant to Clinton
S. Golden, vice thairman of the manpower commission, to become director of the Political Action Committee in New York. She resigned her government post last May 20, Mr. Stripling said. He also mentioned Mrs. Verda Banas senior information specialist with manpower commissioh, who quit to be director of the women’s division of the Political Action Committee.
Explain Probe Theory
The inquiry, it was expiained, wil} be kased on the theory that if govcrament personnel is doing importang wartime work they should hot
be released for politicking. A}
lengthy list .of former administration employees now with Political Action Committee was previously made public by Chairman Martin Dies (D, Tex.). Included was C. B. Baldwin, assistant P. A. C. chairman, whom the committee says remained on the federal payroll as ‘farm security administrator at $10,000 a year until April 11, 1944, aithough he took his present P, A. C. post Nov. 22, 1943. Mr. Baldwin is to be called on to explain numerous telephone calls made by him to the White House

By DANIEL KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—Use of soldier vote ballot applications for political advertising is illegal and not entitled to postage-free transportation, Postmaster General Frank C. Walker ruled today. His ruling was based on a sample from Indiana sent to the postoffice department by Rep. Charles LaFollette, Evansville Republican, The return post card application carried the advertisement of Mr, LaFollette’s Demderatic opponent, Charles Eichel Jr, Evansville.
and FSA agents in Washington and throughout the states in connection with his P. A. C. work, Mr. Starnes said, : “It is very curious to me that the so-called liberals who praised Jus-
tice Hugo Black when he was sen~ \
ator and head of the senate investigating committee which seized all the telegrams in the utility holding company investigation, now are condemning us for checking on a few phone calls,” Mr, Starnes said. “Those phone calls are just as important to the American people as were the Black telegrams. In a J{democracy, it is essential that people should know how things tick. They cannot know if the ticking is being done underground. “We are not going into this thing specifically for Hatch act violations, although we may uncover mdny of them: We are-proceeding on the grounds that P. A, C. has been found by the Dies committee to be packed with Communists and fellowtravelers and therefore comes within the scope of this special committee to investigate un-Amer-ican activities. “If we could get as much co-0p-eration from Al y General Biddle and the justice department as they gave the Black committee we really could uncover some things important for voters to know. But with P. A. €. dedicated to re-electing the administration it is qlite likely’ the administration would not press any cases of contempt, even if the committee found
facts to support such prosecutions.”

Attorney General James Emmert of Indiana recently held that the Indiana law did ‘not prohibit the use of such ballot applications.
Mr. LaFollette, is as follows: “Reference is made to your letter of the 20th, transmitting a copy of a plece.of mail consisting of a postcard and stub, the fo being intended for use by servicemen as an application for a war ballot and the stub bearing an advertisement of a candidate for congress.
authorfzing the free mail privilege, including air mail, for war ballots and war ballot material sent to or by absentee voters, provides for official post cards to be prepared by the United States war ballot commission for use as applications for war ballots. “The war ballot application card as submitted is not authorized by the law above referred to. Cards with stub attached like the one submitted would not be acceptable for transmission in the mails free of postage when senf by members of the armed forces to the secretary of sta
