INDIANA SENATOR SAYS THAT RADICALS CONTROL CERTAIN GOVERNMENT BOARDS.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 20.—Charges that the socialists, reds and other radicals are "interested" in the government departments, and particularly that the investigation forces of the federal trade commission contain men hostile to the government and American institutions, were made in the senate by Senator Watson, republican, of Indiana, who introduced a resolution for an investigation by the interstate commerce committee.
