after an executive session, today unan-
Attorney Bradeis, representing CLAWS
and others that Secretary Ballinger be
called as a witness for the "prosecu-
ton" at this time. The decision brought
out protest from the attorney, which
was stingiHgly denunciatory of the ac-
cused cabinet officer, and which was
stopped by the committee.
AS soon as the committee met yes
terday Attorney Brandeis, sprang a
surprise by requesting that Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger be called as
one of his witnesses. Mr. Brandeis
stated at first that he wished to identi-
fy by Mr.. Bailinger two letters that
he desired to introduce in evidence at
this time. Questions further by men,
bers of the committee as to his in
tent, he admitted that ne desired to
conduct a general examination of the
accused cabinet official.
Counsel for Ballinger objected to this
and called forth from Mr.. Brandeis the
remark that from his letters he had
always supposed Mr.. Ballinger always
to be ready to appear.
Some members of the committee
seemed to think that Mr.. Ballirger
should have opportunity to make his
statement first in his own way.

In announcing the decision Of the
committee Senator Nelson said that
Ballinger would appear as witness
during the presentation of his side Of
the case and ample opportunity would
be given all counsel for cross examina-
ton. Brandeis immediately protested
and demanded to know when Ballin-
ger would come before the committees
Attorney Vertrees said that Ballinger
will testify when we see fit to put him
on" Brandeis renewed his protest. and
declared the "One great question be-
fore this committee and before. the
country is whether or not Ballinger is
unfit to occupy his position by reason
of lack Of truthfulness and directness
Ballinger has been charged by Pinchot
and witnesses produced by him with
wilfully deceiving the president and
having made statements that are un-
true"
The attorney was interrupted by a
member of the committeee but resum-
ing demanded to know why Ballinger
Should be protected from those or
dinary tests of veracity to which other
witnesses are subjected" Brandeis was
interrupted again by a committeeman.
