Moses Of New Hampshire had applied for release for King, stating that he wished to go away on trip.
 King has no status before the sem ate or committee now as a witness or otherwise, Senator Walsh declared, and the senate committee has no in- terest in whether he goes to Europe or to any other place.
 N "Mr. King was served with a sum- mons while in Florida two months ago to appear befoer our committee to testify" said Senator Walsh. After he was here two days and the line of testimony on which we wished to question him did not develop, Sem ator Moses asked me if King could he excused. agreed with the un- derstanding that King would appear again when notified without being served with process.
 son Tuesday Senator Moses asked me if King could be released as away on a trip. The committee agreed. His going abroad is of no consequence to the committee"
 When John T. King came to Wash ington to testify before the oil inves- tigating committee he was very much in the company of Senator Moses. They walked to the committee room together, sat side by side in the read ing room while King was waiting to be put on the stand. and when the committee meeting was over they walked arm in arm to Senator Moses office, where they remained in con- ference some time.
 Senator Moses is chairman Of the subcommittee Of the senate commit tee on post offices which is investi- gating the fitness of Arthur r. Connor to be postmaster at Bridgeport. which is Kings home town. King is un- derstood to have a deep interest in whether Connor is cleared Of the charges that he acted improperly and illegally while tax assessor of Bridge port several years ago.
