Sec'y Glass is backing Director

Reports of conversations between

Hines claim several other high Off

Redfield points TO the fact that
Pres't Wilson approved the plan of

Indications at the white house
are that the president, far removed
from the dispute, may refuse TO be
drawn into It. A short time ago
Hines is understood to have put the
matter up to the president. who IS
said 10 have made no direct recon-

presidential attitude is expected to-
