Group
LANSING, Jan. 15.- (-- Mich-I
igan's unprecedented election return
battle reached another spectacular{
stage today as a committee of nine
state senators -six Republicans and
three Democrats prepared to plunge
into an investigation of the recount
for the office of secretary of state
conducted by a special committee of
the special election recount session of
the last Legislature.
The Senate, in cession Monday
night, voted, 20-7, in support of a
i c.slution authorizing the investiga-
tion which was introduced-by Senator
L, Hale Brake, Republican of Stan-
ton.
The ground work for the inquiry
was swiftly laid. Lieut Gov. ThomasI
named the members of the commit-
tee : Chairman, Andrew L. Moore,
Pontiac; Ed. W. Fehling, St. John's;
Brake; Gerald D. Cotter, Mt. Pleas-
ant; Gordon F. Van Eeneenaam, Mus-
kegon, and Joseph F. Baldwin, Al-
bion, all Republicans, and threej
Democrats: John C. Wickstrom, Nor-I
way; Leon D. Case, Watervliet; and
Denias Dawe, Monroe.
Senator Fehling, who was desig-
nated as temporary chairman until
Chairman Moore recovers from in-j
juries suffered in an automobile re-
cently, immediately announced that
the committee would convene at .9
a.m. Wednesday in the senate cham-
ber.
Attofney,. General Harry S. Toy,
who in a report to the legislature
earlier in the everiing, asserted that
a "gigantic fraud" had been perpe-
trated on the voters of Michigan in
the recount of votes in Wayne coun-
ty, was appointed as counsel for the
senatorial investigators.
Armed under the resolution with
broad powers - to examine ballot
boxes, to subpena witnesses and to
take any other action it deemed nec-i
essary - and with a $3,500 appro-
priation to accomplish its purposes,'
the committee was ready to go intoj
action.
Attorney General Toy dispatched
approximately 20 subpenas to Pon-
tiac f for the signature of Chairman
More of the senate recount investi-
gaiion committee. Toy said that I. A.
Capizzi and Chester P. O'Hara, two
of his assistants who have been con-
d ing- the investigation of the
t ;. c county recount for his office,
will do most of the legal work in con-
ncction with the investigation.
A rercolution extending the scope
of a senate recount investigation
comrittee to other points of the state
outside of Wayne county will be in-
t- cduced in the house, according to
Ener B. O'Hara, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee.

New Orleans
Pay Is Tied Up
ByHuey Lone
City Funds Are Stoppedl
By State Court Order Of
The Kingfish
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 15 - P) -
A payless payday confronted all New
Orleans city employes today because
cf the controversy between Mayor
T. Semmes Walmsley and Senator
Huey P. Long.
Mayor Walmsley, blaming the fi-
nancial crisis on the "unprecedented
judicial procedure" of Long's govern-j
ment in obtaining a state court order
tieing up city funds. appealed to the
United States court for protection.
Under an act of Congress passedj
last year, Walmsley took the finan-
cial situation yesterday into Federal
District Court, which immediatelyI
prohibited the state from proceeding
against the city today.
Walmsley said most of the city
employes, scheduled to miss payj
checks today, had not been paid
since Dec. 23 last year, and called
upon business to pay license taxes im-
mediately.
As the tangle over New Orleans
funds became more confused, the
Square Deal Association, organized
in Baton Rouge to fight Long's dic-
tatorship, was spreading into the
country parishes.
Local "companies" were organized
last night at Derriday, in Concordiaj
Parish; at Clinton, in East Feliciana
Parish, and Bunkie, in Avoyelles Par-
ish.
Banks, to which the city said it
was indebted to the extent of $6,000,-.
000, joined in the city petition to Fed-
eral Court.
Walmsley said the Federal statuteI
"provides that a plan may be entered
into between a municipality and its
creditors that would permit the mun-
icipality to pay all of its creditors
out of any plan of financing that is
agreed to by a large majority of the
creditors, subject to the approval of
the United States courts."
He said it was "in no sense a bank-
ruptcy proceeding" and did not affect
the bonded indebtedness of the city.
