Washington congressional action failed to resurrect a Senate Crime Investigating Committee and allocate 150 000 for a new probe. Chairman Johnson of Colorado noted Democrat members blocked the plan as the Senate District of Columbia committee already eyed crime conditions. He added past investigations had delayed a large calendar of legislation while four anti gambling bills passed the session, three from Kefauver committee recommendations.
