New York representative of the Bank Of Mexico; former newspa- per correspondent.
 Murray charged that the Ameri- can embassy to the best of his knowledge had purchased many forged state papers.
 While the state department de- lined to take any official notice of Murray's testimony, the United Pres was reliably informed that 1t would deny any forged papers were purchased from Miguel Avila, agent, who procured the Hearst document which implied that the Mexican government was to pay four Unit d States senators s1200,000 for pro Mexican propaganda"
 It is understood, however, that the American embassy had seen these and other documents.
 DeCoursey is to be permitted an opportunity to refute Murray's charge that he as Mexico City cor respondent for the New York Times lad fabricated" one forged paper and presented it to the American rmbassy through Avila,. The docu- ment purported to show Murray was q secret publicity man for Mex TO.
