JAR AT CLAWS
HEARING TODAY
Attorney IntimateS That
Papers Are Being Held
Back
SECRETARY BALLINGER
WILL SECURE COUNSEL

by United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Con-
gressional probe into the intricacies of
the Balhnger- -Pinchot episode came
temporarily to an abrupt stop today.
After an hour of executive session,
and upon receipt of a letter from Sec
retary Ballive il was decided to post
pone further hearings until next Fri
day February II, in order to permit
Secretary Ballinger to secure counsel
10 represent him at the hearings and
cross examine L. r. CLAWS.
The brief open meeting Of the COM
anittee today was marked by bitter re-
marks from Attorney l.. ID. Brandeis
who represents CLAWS. He unsparing-
~ criticized the delay Of the Interior
Department in producing certain let
tors. documents and reports which he
had asked for a week ago.
Immediately after the committee en-
tered the crowded hearing room,
Chairman Nelson had Secretary Charles
Sleman read two letters. the first to
Secretary Bauinger from Senator Nell
son, suggesting the desirability Of his
being represented by counsel To Sen
ator Nelson. Secretary Ballinger re-
piled stating that he desired that the
committee should not be hampered in
Its investigation and II was only be-
cause that "a full investigation Is not
being secured" that he ha determined
TO have counsel present He requested
that the committee postpone hearings
until February 14th in order to give
him time to secure legal assistance.
After these letters had been read
Senator Nelson was on the point OF
adiourning the committee when Attor-
ney Brandeis arose.
Brandeis Makes Complaint.
He declared that he had spent three
days camping out in the corridors OF
ahe Senate office building awaiting tho
papers. which he had asked the In
terror Department TO produce and
which Senator Nelson had promised
him an opportunity TO examine.
'I have good reason to believe" h'
commented sharply that a large
number Of these documents are ready
and could have been submitted to ms
through the committee and that the.
have not been submitted for reasons
satisfactory to the Interior Depart
rncnt. /. think in view of the ass0r
-ance that the secretary gives us, tina
he does not desire TO put any obstacl
in the way Of a full Investigation an'
that such documents az are availabl
should be submitted at once, and tina
they ought not TO be kept back.
had the assurance given me by tn
chairman a week ago that on the da!
following / might examine at least
portion Of these. And it has beel
six days since then.
1T seems to me therefore to be
matter of importance that these doch
ments have been withheld"
And the attorney sat down abruptly
flushed with anger.
Senator Nelson himself was test
over the manifest intimation that tn
documents had been purposely with
held. He declared that he would hav
a messenger transmit letter to Sec
retary Ballinger today requesting tina
the documents be sent as soon as pos
sible
'I want to put it in writing" h
stated. and after a pause, added signi
fcantly. 81 will also have the stenog
rapher trhnscribe Mr.. Brandeis re
marks and have them sent to the sec
retary."
