MI You has written to Senator
Bev4ridge asking for assistance IN
cleaiing up his record before the de-
parttnent and saying that the TO- "a %
made were false and that the fellows
whol made them did so in order to
secure the place for themselves. He
says that the man who filed the
charges was man who had been
working under him and had a grudge
against him.
Mt. You sent Senator Beveridge
