M'REYNOLDS' SUPPORT
FOR AWARDS DOUBTFUL
Attorney General Says Reports on
Plaza Settlement Were "Harmo-
nious" from Start.
LONG DELAY is PR0BABL L E

Despite repeated published reports tO
tn, contrary. there is considerable ground
for doubt as to whether Attorney Cen
eral McRcynolds at any time recon-
mcnded to President Wilson the approval
OF the Union Station plaza awards.
The general belief il that after Morgan
Beach, formerly United States attorney
for the District, had submitted his first
report. the Attorney General forwarded
that report to the chief executive with
the recommendation that Mr.. Wilson
sanction the awards. However, persons
known to be well informed to the
details Il the entire proceedings, yester-
day expressed the opinion that the At
torney General never made such A recon-
mendation to the President
Significant in this connection was th'.
statement yesterday of the Attorney Cen
erel TO reported for The Washington
Herald that there was no difference of
opinion between Attorney Beach and {.
5. Lawrence. the Tennessee lawyer who
was put i'm charge of the investigation
after Mr.. Beach met with an accident
incapacitating him for work.
Il want to state emphatically that all
reports to the effect that there were any
differences between Mr.. Beach and Mr..
Lawrence are absolutely unfounded." said
Mr.. McReynolds
THE fact of the matter is that the two
men worked together in absolute har-
mony from the very start. What has
been published in regard TO the reports
submitted by the Department of Justice
to the President, is based very largely
upon guesswork, and ] might add that
the references to these reports are wrong
in all essential points.
1T is entirely in the discretion of the
President as to whether or not he wants
to give out the reports in full or in
part. For me to comment upon them,
or even to say as to whether or not
any report had ever been rejected, or
for any other official of this department
TO make any statement in this connec-
ton. would be a violation of the depart
ment rules.
The Attorney Generals statement that
Messrs Morgan and Beach worked at
all times in perfect HARMONY" seems
to indicate that the opinion that Mr.
Beach's original report was rejected is
erroneous: further. il is in contrast with
the idea prevailing in the minds of many
that Mr.. Beach originally recommended
the approval of the awards
Members of the House Appropriation
Committee which appropriated the awards
now disapprOved. yesterday voiced no
hope for early action in the way of new
legislation by Congress. Chairman Fitz
gerald sustained President Wilson In ;he
position that IL is impossible to differenti-
ate between the property owners by a.
proving the awards found proper and uis-
approving those found excessive.
