ATTORNEYS FOR CLAWS USE
SINGING TERMS IN THEIR
CLOSING TALK BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE AND ASK THAT HE.
BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

washington, May 27.-The lawyers
for the prosecution in the BaIlinger-
Pinchot investigation made their sum-
ming up arguments before the con-
gressional committee today and in no
uncertain terms, declared that they
had proved their case against Secre-
tary Ballinger.
His constant yielding under pres
sure makes him unfit for the Office Of
secretary of the interior" exclaimed
Attorney Brandeis, counsel for L. r.
CLAWS, who addressed the committee
for two hours during the forenoon.
Brandeis said that BalIinger lacked
that quality OF resoluteness which was
so essential for man In his position
and that the only time there was ever
any doubt as to what action he would
take was when there was pressure
from both sides"
After criticizing Ballinger's action In
the Cunningham coal cases, Brandeis
asked the committee lis such a man
a safe trustee for the peoples prop

ly established that Ballinger was not
man so devoted to the interests of

that he might be safely relied upon to
carry on a broad policy Of conserva-

Brandeis referred sarcastically to
Ballinger's inability 20 remember

charged that Ballinger Intentionally
evaded his questions. He denounced
the discharge of CLAWS. without an OPP
portunity to be heard on the charges

for this investigation, CLAWS, "the
ideal public servant, would have been
condemned and held up
to public disgrace with the knowl-

He extolied CLAWS and Stenogra-

He said they would have the adj
