Mr. BallInger had said
The statement had TO DO with Jones
ability as an agent and was attrilr

ton began with further questions as
TO the clear listing of the Cunningham

Senator Sutherland (Rep) said Mr..

that the fault lay with Mr. Ballinger.
Mr.. Ballinger soon turned the tables
on Mr.. Brandeis and claimed that his
questions were arguments rather than
interrogauons The attorney was at
tempting to reply to this when Chair
man Nelson interrupted:
