.FALL MAY RECEIVE
 AMBASSADORS IP
Center Of Teapot Dome Oil Tempest May Obtain Cool
 idge's lndorsement .t
By LAWRENCE MARTIN


' WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Appoint- ment of Albert B. Fall, former sec retary of the interior. as ambassador to Mexico, has been suggested to the administration as dse way Of taking the Teapot Dome scandal out of the 1924 presidential campaign.
 Those favoring this move argue that If President Coolidge were te appoint Fall this would stamp Fall with the administrations approval and would convince the coustry that President Coolidge was satisfied there was othing about the Teapo' leasing by Fall to the Sinclair inter ests which merited suspicion. If the Fall story of Teapot Dome can be disclosed 1t will have q def nite effect on the presidential cam paign say those who know more about it than has been told the pub lie. Falls rAticerice about some phases of the matter is well under Stood here. It is no fear of, personal consequences which has caused tns former secretary to remain silent, H
 simply does not want to give Ies.i, mony which he kows would be used by ti-administration forces in the
 Members of Congress who are among the most influential members of the Administration group" will be involved if the whole story comes out.

 l. Senator Walsh Of 3fon tasss VI iJf re- ktufn here tomorrow from F'terida de- terniined to bring out everything about the leasing.
 Walsh probably will meet stern opposition. He may have trouble conyincfng some members of the Sem ate public claims committee that Fall should be forced to disclose the truth about $100,0 900 hessaid he got in 1921 to nelp buy a ranch in Mex Mexico.
 But Walsh will not be put off. It is a curious fact that he had about given up his. efforts to go to the pot tom of the case and was ready to let tffe Senate investigation slide. Just becauses he believes In following ev' cry lead to- the, finish he got authority from the committee to go to Florlda ana question E. C. Mclean. Washing ton publisher, who Fall said. loaned him $10Q.o00.
 That trip. established the fact that Fall had obtained the money from Mclean but had almost immediately returned it., saying he had maoe other arrangements"
 Now walsh will not rest until ne knows what those arrangements were. '-
