signature and that appearing as hers. The police say there is no question that the signature was forged.
 LeTourneau entered the employ of Grillo and Giordano, West Haven monument dealers, on Monday, but this fact was not learned until Sergeant Ellinger followed cine in the form Of West Haven tele- phone number left at the local eompany's office for LeTourneau to call, last week. The officials of the company did not know where he had gone, and his wife disclaimed knowledge of his whereabouts, the police say.
 LeTourneau lived in Hartford be- fore coming here last November, He has had considerable experience ia the monument business and his mame appears on the stationery Of the New Britain Monumental Works. According to his attorney, he has three children. The police learned that immediately on his entering the employ of the West Haven con- pany he was provided an automo- bile.
 The warrant on which the arrest vas made charges LeTourneau with obtaining $55 on false pretences, but he police explain, this amount rep resents the commission in only one of the four contracts. The company did not investigate the contracts when they were turned in, and con- requently the stone for the monu- ments has been ordered.
 On the way back from West Ha- yen, Le Tourneau is said to have told Sergeants Ellinger and O'Mara that he Is innocent of the charges. He said the contracts were signed by the persons whose names ap- pear on them, although cancella- lions of the orders may have been made in the meantime.

FILIBUSTER THREATENED
Action Against McFadden Banking
 Bill ImpcndS

Washington, Jan. 2S P)-A fili- buster against the McFadden branch banking bill is threatened in the senate. where a formidable group from western and southern states are dissatisfied with the measure as approved by the house.
 The first effort will be to have the Hull amendments, stricken out by the house, reinserted. and, failing in that move, general fight on the bill Is expected, although opponents do not claim they can muster strength to defeat it in case the ma jority leaders press for action.
 One of the principal objections of opponents of the measure is the claim that it would permit control by lager banks over many branches over the country, through consolida- tions and otherwise, with a resultant concentration Of wealth.

NIXON COUNSEL BACKS
NEGRO VOTING RIGHTS
Files Brief in Supreme Court At
tacking Texan Democratic
Primary Exclusion.

The right of negroes to vote in the
Democratic primaries in Texas was
asserted in q brief filed in the SUI
preme Court yesterday by counsel for
l.. A. Nixon, a negro who was ex-
cluded from voting in the Democratic
primaries at JGl Pas.
The brief insisted that the protec-
tive provisions of the fourteenth end
fifteenth amendments to tho Federal
Constitution gave hcCroes the right
to vote ut primary elections and that
the Texas statute is an invalid Ie-
striction of this right.
A declaration advanced in support
of the law during the argument of
the case that the Democratic party
of Texas is white mans party was
asserted in the brief as n contempt
ible platitude" and IAN insult to the
Constitution"
The suggestion that the Texas Leg
islature has not yet prohibited negroes
from voting in the Republican pri-
maries does not aid thOs, negro -nCm.
bers of the Democratic party, it was
declared.
The case was recently argued and
IS now awaiting decision.

Every Person Who Tes- tified Before Grand Jury in Tampering Probe Gets Summons to Appear on Decem- Der 5.
Move Indicates Govern ment Will Disclose Evi- dence It Has of Improper Shadowing of Trial Jur- ors-kidwell Among the Principal Figures.

Washington, Nov. 26 P}-District Attorney Gordon expects to sub poena every person who testified be- fore the grand jury in the oil jury tampering case to appear as witness es for the government at the hear Ing of the contempt proceedings against Harry F. Sinclair, W. J.. Burns and their four associates.
 D Get Summons
 Subpoenas for 75 witnesses through whom the government will seek to show Sinclair and the other respondents were guilty of contempt in having the Fall-Sinclair trial jury shadowed were prepared today by the district attorneys office.
 The summons require the witness es to appear in the District of Co., lumbia supreme court on December 5, the day Sinclair, William J. Burns, his son, w. sherman Burns, C. l.. Neitsch, Sheldon Clark, and Henry Mason Day have been cited to show cause why they should not be held in contempt. Clark and Day are business associates of Sinclair. The others are associated with the Burns Detective agency.
 The move to call as government witnesses those who appeared be- fore the grand jury indicated that the government would disclose dur ing the contempt proceedings for the first time evidence it had of improper shadowing of the trial jurors. l. also indicated that the prosecution would attempt to show through the Burns operatives that the intensive surveillance of the jury was in contempt of court.
 Prosecution Planned
 While the subpoenas are being served the district attorneys office will lay it's plans for presentation of the case before Justice Siddons, in which it will seek to show that the events leading up 10 a declara- ton of mistriaI ill the oil case Were brought about by improper surveil- lance of Inc jury.
 Those who appeared before the grand jury included jurors, detec- tives, government agents and others. One of those who testified voluntarily was Edward J. kidwell. juror No. II, who was accused in afIidarits of having said he expected material gain from the case. An other was William J. McMullin, q Burns man, who charged the Burns operatives with fabricating testi- mony to be used by the defense in asking for mistrial if such a course be decided on.
