SHORTAGE IS LAID
 TO MANIPULATION
Name Of Accuser Not Made Public Grand Jury Heard
 Accusation

Testimony that D. E. Mc- Lendon, city commission president, frequently received money from w. H. Glasgow, former head of the public inn provement division of the city comptroller's office, on checks that were never sent through the bank, but were subse- quently destroyed, was given the grand jury during it's re- cent inquiry into city hall shortage, the commission head revealed in a statement Tues day.
 This disclosure, which caused a new sensation at city hall, was followed by McLendon with a sweeping denial. He said reports of the testimony were be- ing widely circulated and that his state- ment was issued publicly in order that his position might be n1atle elear.
 Text or Denial
 "A witness before the jury" Mo Lendon said, testified that these al- legged transactions involved amounts varying from $100 to $500; that Glas- gow later tore up the checks or re- turned them to me, and that consider able portion of the shortage in the department occurred in this manner. I told the county authorities that this testimony was wholly false and urged them to make the fullest investiga- tion. At no time during his eonnec- A Lh. sls |. a check for me-"
 County officials did not comment on McLendon's statement, as Solicitor Jim Davis was out of the city, but there were indications that these charges would be further aired when the grand jury resumes its city hall probe after the audit now under way in the comptroller's office is completed
 Admits Signing Note
 Rumors had been current at city hall for days that charges involving the commission president had been made, but McLendon's statement supplied the first official verification. He said that he made q detailed statement concern ing the charges to the grand jury.
 Another rumor, to the effect that McLendon and Glasgow paid large note which they owed the Birmingham Trust and Savings company shortly before Glasgow was removed from his city position, also had been afloat for several days. The commission head ad- mitted that he and Glasgow signed a note for a man who now is dead, but asserted that the money has not yet been paid but is being renewed from time to time. It could not be learned whether the grand jury inquired into this transaction.
 Glasgow Issues Denial
 When seen by a reporter for The Age-Herald Tuesday afternoon, Glas- gow, who is under indictment in con nection with city shortages, issued this statement:
 "I never cashed check for McLen- don in my life neither am I in any way involved in the city hall thefts."
 McLendon said he knew who gave the testimony involving him. but would not give the mans name. He said he simply wanted the public to know that ''the stories now going the rounds are utterly false and cannot be substan- tiated by the facts"
 When the grand jury reconvenes, ev- cry official and employe in the comp troller's office will be summoned and
