Violent Clashes Mark Hearing Of Williams Charges Against
 Policies Of Federal Reserue
Personal Conflict Threatened When Lie Is Passed Between Governor Harding and For- mer Comptroller of the Cur renCy at Yesterdays, Ses- sion
ny HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-H Herald
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, August 3.-(Spe- cial.)-The inquiry by the joint congressional commission into the charge of John Skelton Williams, former comptroller of the treasury, that the deflation policy of the fed eral reserve board precipitated the distress in the farming belts of the country was enlivened this afternoon by what threatened to be personal conflict between MT. Williams and w. ?. G. Harding, governor of the board.
 When Mir. Williams. as the witness before the eonlr,lssion, read letter addressed by nim to Governor Hard- Ting, containing personalities, Cover nor Harding interposed objections, and removed his glasses as. if pre- paring Tor acton. Friends interposed. Later. however, the governor sprang to his feet and characterized as false statements of the witness that he had promised to furnish him with minutes of board meetings or that he or any other member of the board had de- clared that it lis better to be unani- meus than right"
 Reads own Letter
 The Williams letter contained the gist of his recent sensational speech at Augusta. At it's conclusion. the witness offered to read the reply of Governor Harding The latter. how ever. insisted on his right to read his own letter, and the commission. grant ed him authority. His letter containel proof that Mr. Williams several remedial suggestions had received at tentlon by the board and inslnua tions that MT. Williams, in his numcr- ous communications to the board, had sought to lay predicates for his present role before the public The letter concluded with d statement that Mir Williams action in making public highly confidential credit mat ters convinced the board of the futil- ity of discussing with him questions of honor and fair play"
 The day was featured by the com tinuatfon by MT. Williams c the reading of his letters to the board. His case is apparently based on these letters When pressed for substan- tiation of his charges, he declined to reveal names. and resorted to the suggestion thar the commission ex anime the files m the comptroller.s office. This declipation to go into vital details, apparently weakened his case with the commission. There were frequent and violent clashes between the witness and Representative ogden of New York, who was open in his antipathetic attitude.
 A feature of the the day was the appearance of either of the most severe senatorial critics of the re- serve board, critics whose speeches have impressed the farmers with the idea that they should hold re- sponsible for all their ills, the board and it's governor.
 Governor Harding informed this correspondent tonight that tomorrow he would go into the entire cotton situation. He IS obviously satisfied with the progress of the inyestiea- ton to date.
