FRICTION IN PHILIPS
DEALINGS REPORTED
BY TEXAS WITNESS

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Paul g..
Thompson. mayor of Greenville,
Texas, formerly connected with the
Office of the director of sales of the
war department, testified Tuesday
at trial of John L. Phillips of Geor-
gia, and others, ON charges of con-
Spiracy in surplus government 1um-
Der sales. He said he rendered an
opinion while in the war department
against the substitution of hardwood
from the air service for the soft
wood, in which there appeared to be
q shortage under the contract with
Philips and Stephens for the disposal
of surplus lumber.
In his opinion, he held it would
require a supplemental contract for
the disposal of the hardwood. The
witness said three lawyers in the
legal division passed on the form of
the contract and approved it before
Ernest C. Morse, former director of
sales and one of the defendants, APP
proved the contract Morse, accord
ing to the witness, had overruled
contentious of Philips and Stephens
In their efforts to get the contract
construed in their favor. Under
morse's direction, it was shown,
there had been prepared for the sig
stature OF the secretary of war an
opinion adverse to claims of Philips
and Stephens.
w. P. Gleason, also formerly con-
nected with the office of the director
of sales, testified of efforts to get
clearances of lumber and what he
described as differences between the
witness and Charles S. Shotwell. an
other of the defendants. Gleason
said he complained to Morse, who he
quoted as saying did not wish to dis
cuss the matter and thereafter would
deal directly with Shotwei as the
witness appeared to have chip on
the shoulder for Shotwell."
Counsel for Morse elected from the
witness that differences had existed
between Shotwell and Morse's assist
ants for three months and that tir-
ing Of the friction, Morse decided to
deal directly with Shotwell
