MASS MEETING PLANNED
TO PREVENT CLOSING OF
GRAMMAR SCHOOL GRADE
BRITISH SYNDICATE IS
HAVING HEARING IN AN
EFFORT TO BEAT FORD
tBy Associated Pressj

Washington, Feb. 81 Investiga-
ton by the house military committee
of the offer iiiaAa BY Henry Ford for
purchase and lease Of the govern.
ment's war-projected properties at
Muscle Shoals, Ala, entered its final
stages today with the probability that
it would be concluded by Wednesday.
The committee opened the fourth
week of hearings confident that all
evidence on the Ford proposal would
be heard in time to begin a new SER
les in connection with the counter
proposal submitted by the Alabama
Power Company not later than We'd
nesday.
Chairman Kahn said the committee
was prepared to continue its work
without interruption on the power
company's offer and after that on the
offer of Frederick Engstrum, of Will
mington, N. c., whose bid was refer
red to congress by Secretary Weeks
last week and forwarded to the mill
tary committee for study and report.
Mr.. Kahn was unable to predict
how long it would require to conclude
hearings on the three bids and submit
report on them to the house so that
final action there might be started.
S. H. Dent, former chairman of the
committee, was invited by Mr.. Kahn
to proceed today with arguments on
the contract which was signed by the
Alabama Power Company and war
department officials during the war
for the construction of the steam
power plant at Warrior, Ala. AS
counsel for the. company, Mr.. Dent
was selected to follow Thomas w.
Martin, its president, who conclud-
ed his testimony Friday after heat
ed colloquoy with Representative
Miller, republican, Washington, re-
specting the option provision of the
contract.

Oklahoma Executive Is
Courageous in Stand
Against Mob
WILL WAIVE IMMUNITY
Volunteers to Go Before
Grand Jury and
Testify

Okmulgee, Okla, Feb. 27-Interest
in the situation growing out of the
recent dismissal grand jury investi-
cation the affairs of the defunct bank
Bank of Commerce here by Superior
Court Judge H. R. Christopher took a
sudden squirt today with the making
public of a letter from Governor J.,
D. A. Robertson, sent yesterday to
the judge declining to accept the lat
ter's resignation. No word had been
received from the judge, who is be-
lived to be in Chicago. Judge Chris
topher offered his resignation after
bing requested to do so by CITIZENS at
a mass meeting soon after dismissal
of the jury.
Upholds the Judge.
In his letter Gov. Robertson upholds
the judge in dismissing the grand
jury saying that to have let it render
a report would have made more diff
ficult quick settlement of the banks
affairs. Judge Christopher said,
when he discharged the grand jury,
that he did so because it had been
"hand picked" and not chosen accor-
ding to law. The governor also said,
in his letter, that SHOULD the courts
approve such procedure in the EN-
pannelling of grand jury, it would
be an open door to persecution" A
designing judge might easily protect
his guilty friends, he said.
The governor, however, criticised
Judge Christopher for his offering to
recall the discharged grand jury and
let it make its report. Justice must
not be thwarted at the demands of
any people or to escape the threats
of any mob," Governor Robertson
said
In statement, the governor said he
was willing to appear before grand
jury and testify" waving all privi-
leges and immunity"
Another grand jury was scheduled
to be empannelled today in Judge
Mark L. Bozart's court to take up the
matters Investigated by the dimissed
grand jury.
