SINCLAIR T0AM
SPECIAL APPEAL
viii Request D. c. Court for
Special Allowance Not Rec
ognized as Right.

Harry F. Sinclair, lessee of Teapot
Dome. who is under indictment for al
legged contempt of the United States
senate in refusing to answer questions
propounded by Senator Thomas j.
Walsh, prosecutor of the oil inquiry,
will ask the District Court of Appeals
for the allowance of special appeal
from the decision Of Justice Hoehling
Of the District Supreme Court rem
dered yesterday. 1t will take several
days to prepare the record on which
the application for the special appeal
will be based
The order of Justice Hoehling sus-
tanning the right of Congress to require
answers to six Of the nine Questions
proposed to Mr.. Sinclair is what Is
known as an interlocutory order and
may not be appealed from as a matter
of right. If the appellate court should
entertain review OF the finding of
Justice Hoehling in advance of a trial
before petit jury it would be a mat
ter of grace only.
Attorney George P. Hoover Of coun-
sci for Sinclair today expressed con-
ndence in favorable action by the
Court of Appeals on the motion for a
special appeal. He points out that
Justice Hoehling did not attempt to
decide the fundamental question of
the right OF Congress to compel citi-
zens to answer inquiries. but invite a
a decision of the appellate tribunal
on the question. Justice Hoehline
declared that as the United States
Supreme Court had not definitely de-
tcrmined the question in the three
cases presented TO that tribunal re-
lating to such right of Congress il
was the duty, following custom, for
the court of first instance to hold
against the defendant and to sustain
the right of Congress until a higher
tribunal had an opportunity to PASS
on the question.
