Reply to Statement Made
by Senator Thomas.
OIL LAND CLAIMS DEBATE

A recent statement by Senator
Thomas Of Colorado that Secretary
Lane OF tbs Interior Department was
"sscrstary in name only because Of
the usurpation Of his powers by the
Attorney General and the Secretary
/ Of the Navy in the settlement Of oil
land claims on the public domain. was
answered by Senator Myers Of Mon
tana and Senator Ashurst of Arizona
during the debate on the waterpower
bill in. the Senate. yesterday after
noon. They defended the course of
Secretary Lane.
Senator Thomas disclaimed any in
tention Of attacking Secretary Lane,
whom he praised highly.
Senators Myers and AshurBt took
sharp issue with Senator Thomas in
cfiticising Mr.. Lane for not respond
ing to statements made by Francis J.
keArful. assistant attorney general in
charge Of the oil land litigation,
against him.
Explains His Criticism.
Denying intent to attack" Secretary
1Ane, Senator Thomas declared his
criticism lay principally in charging
that Mr.. Lane had submitted to en-
tivss in the oil dispute and had failed
TO resent or notice the attack of Mr..
In Yesterdays discussion, various
features Of the oil controversy were
discussed. including the pending oil
land leasing. The latter Is apparently
dead1ocked in conference, Senator
Myers declared, because Of the dis
pute between secretary Lane and Sec
rotary Daniels and Attorney General
Gregory regarding the policy to be
followed regarding claimants and OPP
orators in the California Naval Re-
serves, for some Of whom Secretary
the Department OF Justice, following
Secretary Daniels plans for conserv-
ing the Oil resources for the Navy,
has suspended by litigation.
Senator Kings Comment.
Senator King Of Utah said in pro-
posing patents for the California re-
serve operators Secretary Lanes de-
cision is, under all laws and court
precedents, Anal ana suggested that
the Department of Justice has done
great injustice to many oil men. forced
into bankruptcy by the government s
suits.
Senator Thomas, conceding that
he said Mr.. Lane was Secretary in
name only, reaff1rmed his high regard
for the Secretary and declared he had
not intended the statement as a per-
sonal attack. He referred to the tes-
timony Of Mr.. Kearful as an "unprece-
denied attack" made by one depart
ment Of the government on the head
Of another, and declared that It must
be assumed that in making those
statements Mr.. Kearful was spea:..ng
for the Attorney General.
Secretary Highly Praised.
Senator Ashurst ended the debate
with high praise of Secretary Lane.
