WASHINGTON, Mar. 17—When Michigan Sen. Homer Ferguson’s new investigating subcommittee starts digging into the 1946 Kansas City vote frauds, the real target is going to be AttorneyGeneral Tom Clark and his administration of the Department of Justice. ‘ It was Sen. James P. Kem of Missouri who last year offered the original resolution to investigate the Justic Department. Sen. Kem charges Mr. Clark failed to order a thorough investigation of irregularities in the primary race between Roger Slaughter and Enos Axtell, Democratic candidates for Congress. Mr. Axtell had President Truman's support. But investigating Tom Clark will give Sen. Ferguson a chance to even up an old score, foo. Ever since the now-expiring Senate War Investigating Committee uncovered the Congressman Andy May and Garsson brothers scandals, Sen. Ferguson claims the Democrats have been trying to get something on him in Michigan.
