Leaks Probe Faces Possible Fizzle Without House Action
Washington January 25 Congress may fail to sustain a thorough inquiry into the Wall Street leak unless it grants broader powers to the special committee. Officials say without expanded authority the investigation into the December note leak and brokers’ private wire tips could stall. The committee’s term ends March 4 and plans remain incomplete amid fear of a dead end. A New York editor testified that brokers received note details before public release.

Intercessions Made in Behalf of Two Bishops
Washington January 25 The arrest on charges of high treason by Carranzista officials of the Catholic archbishop of Guadalahara and the bishop of Zacatecas has aroused church circles in the United States. A movement to press the United States to demand their release is under way, led by Bishop Cusack of Albany. He has urged the New York delegation to act for the innocent churchmen who face Carranza’s vengeance for insisting that the de facto government respect church rights. The issue is international and limits U S goodwill efforts rather than direct intervention.
