ENDS in BLAZE OF
VERBAL FIREWORKS
Ballinger-Pinchot Matter Will Be Sub
mitted on Final Briefs During the
Early Part of June.

He said Pinchot was credited
with "a loftiness of purpose that
he does not deserve" and insin-
uated he would "scruple at moth
ing to carry out his purpose or
plans" He referred to the twenty
six missing letters found in CLAWS
box at Seattle as evidence of the
tactics pursued by Ballinger's ene-
mics, by asserting they intended
charging Ballinger with concealing
them if they were called for and
not produced. In referring to the
Lawler memorandum Vertres said
it was merely an indirect attack
on the president and that the presi-
dent had fully and frankly eX-
planned the circumstances under
which the document was prepared.
