ORDERS MCCRAY INQUIRY.
President Directs Probe of Health
of Former Governor.

An investigation of the health of
former Gov. McCray of Indiana, who
is serving a prison sentence at At
lanta, has been directed by President
Coolidge to determine whether he
should be granted executive clemency.
The report of the Department of
Justice on the question of McCray's
release is before the President, bu, il
is unlikely he will take action until
informed whether the prisoners
health would be jeopardized by con-
tinued confinement.
McCray was sentenced to the At
lanta Penitentiary after he was found
guilty of misuse of State funds while
governor. 1t was disclosed today at
the White House that the district
attorney who prosecuted him had en-
tered strong objection to communication
of sentence.

Supply Fell Short.


In 1920 the Aluminium Co. had said
that the demands for cheap metal far
exceeded the supply. Col. Donovan ex-
planned TO Senator Walsh.
Senator Walsh called attention TO
the fact that another committee of the
Senate. the so-called Couzens commit
tee, which has been investigating the
administration of the income tax law
had reported that the Aluminium Co.
of America had planned a $4,000. 900
reduction on its plant value because
its increas ed capacity of production
had been greatly enhanced by war de-
mands.
Col. Donovan said that, while the
company was overstocked in the way
of equipment, that had nothing to do
with the amount of aluminium pro
duced and that the company did not
have the material to meet the de-
mands of the trade.
Hearing to Be Continued.
With regard to the charges made

Mr.. Dunn had reported Walker had
