A A Congressional Banking Probe Advised by House WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-(P)-The House Banking Committee today endorsed a plan to have Congress, rather than a Presidential commission, conduct a broad investigation of the nation's financial system. The party-line action by the Democratic-controlled committee threatened to short-circuit the commission inquiry that President proposed in his State of the Union message to Congress. By a 16-to-12 vote, the group went on record as favoring a resolution introduced by Rep. Wright Patman (D-Tex.) to have a house backing subcommittee inspect the nation's economic foundations.

Patman, an outspoken critic of what he calls the administration's "hard money, high interest" policy, probably would head the investigation if it is authorized by the full house. Mr. Eisenhower has proposed that Congress create a commission of "able and qualified citizens" to make a "broad inquiry into the nature, performance and adequacy of our financial system." It would be the first such overall study in more than 20 years. The administration bill would give the President authority to name Casper Morning Star, Wednesday, Jan. 23, 1957 the members of the nine-man commission and to designate its chairman and vice-chairman.

Although the Banking Committee does not have jurisdiction over the Patman resolution which it endorsed, it does have jurisdiction over legislation to create the Presidential Commission. Democrats on the committee probably will be able to keep the President's proposal bottled up until the Rules Committee and the House itself acts on Patman's proposal. Banking Chairman Brent Spence (D-Ky.) said he doubted the House would approve two simultaneous inquiries into the financial system. Meanwhile, Sen. Alexander Wiley (R- Wis.) introduced a resolution calling for creation of a Hoovertype commission to study what he called the "complex spider web" of federal taxation.

The Hoover Commission, which studied governmental organization, was composed of members of Congress and government officials as well as private citizens. There have been suggestions that the same type of group might make the financial study, Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) told reporters he Correspondence Course Mad Bomber Is Captured NEW YORK, Jan. 21 -(P)- The 16-year search for the "Mad Bomber of Manhattan" ended today with the arrest of a greying bachelor sports car enthusiast who said he learned to make infernal machines in an electronics correspondence school. George Metesky, 53, mild-mannered toolmaker, was arrested in his Waterbury, home, 75 miles from New York City as a result of a 28-hour search of old consolidated Edison Company files.

Metesky, himself, gave the tip that led to the search by writing a telltale letter to a newspaper. "This is the man," said Deputy Police Commissioner Walter Arm. "We know it through his own admissions and through analysis of his handwriting." Metesky surprised police by boasting he had planted 50 bombs. Only 31 have been accounted for by police. Materials for two bombs much more potent than the 31 accounted for were found in a pantry closet in his home, a five and one-half room apartment he has shared with two older spinster sisters.

The house was run down, but Metesky's garage work room was as neat as a pin and well -stocked with tools. His new $4,000 British Daimler was parked in the garage. Metesky cheerfully admitted he has been trying to booby trap New Yorkers for 16 years. He said he did it to "get even" with Consolidated Edison for injuries he received when he was a utility worker 25 years ago. The injuries led to a battle against tuberculosis that still keeps him in bed for as long as 17 hours a day, he said.

But he did not fritter away his time in hospitals, at home or during lunch hours when he has been able to work, he said. All of his spare time has gone into studying mechanics and electronics SO he could perfect his bombs, he said "I made up my mind to keep on doing this until they caught me or I died," Metesky said. Twenty-two of his pipe bombs, all loaded with gunpowder drained from bullets and triggered with dime store watch mechanisms, have exploded in theaters, bus and railroad terminals, telephone booths and other public places. A bomb planted by Metesky in a library phone before Christmas Eve set off a twoweek nationwide wave of bomb scares. More than 250 of them were in New York City alone.

Fifteen persons have been injured, none seriously in explosions of Metesky's devices. No one has been killed. He told police he never had intended anyone should die. "I always felt sick at my stomach after leaving one of the bombs," he said. Metesky was chipper when he was arrested and arraigned in a predawn court session in Waterbury.

He waived extradition to New York. and readily signed papers allowing police to bring him here to face charges that could put him in prison for the rest of his life. SALE CO CONTINUES!
