WASHINGTON, (AP)--The Senate last week voted an investigation of reports there are hundreds of homosexuals and moral perverts among government [employees].

It adopted by voice vote a resolution authorizing $10,000 for the Senate executive expenditures committee to conduct the inquiry.

Action was without debate. The rules committee had approved the resolution earlier, but trimmed the expense allowance from $25,000 to $10,000.
