 Dlsagrees With Palmer
By Associated Press


 Washington, December 2e-Members or the special Senate committee investigat- ing the bituminous coal situation con ferred informally for several hours to- day with Dan w. Sims of Indiana, who resigned as special attorney in the pros caution afsa number of coal operators and union miners on federal conspiracy charges after he had disagreed with AL torney General Palmer over evidence to be submitted. Senator Calder of New York, the committee chairman, any nounced afterward that MT. Sims would not be called "at present" but said ar engagements had been made for Dr. Harry A. Garfield, former federal fuel adminis- trator, to meet tomorrow with the com mittee in executive session.
 MT. Sims would be temporarily excused from testifying, Chairman Calder said, because the conspiracy cases were still pending before Federal Judge Anderson at Indiana polls. and any public consider ation of the governments legal policies involved might be prejudcial to the de- fendants- While a complete account or the matter was said to have been given the committee members, neither MT. Sims nor senators would discuss the sub 5ect. Dr. Garfield, who has been a wit ness in the Indianapolis proceedings, will be asked for general suggestions on coal legislation it was said.
 Attorney General Palmer today sent a letter to Chairman Calder denying an as serton attributed to George Cushing, managing director of the American Wholesale Coal association in testifying before the committee to the effect that the department of justice had sent a auestionnaire on coal prices to which MT. Palmer had later objected. He had discussed the subject with the witness, Mir. Palmer said.
 Further hearings in the investigation chairman Calder said, would be delayed until the conclusion of the conferences nhat have been arranged.
