Forged Papers Story

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Sec.
rotary of State Kellogg today per-
mitted to go unchallenged published
reports that forged documents we've
involved in the latest misunderstanding
ing between the United States and
Mexico.
The report stated forged docu-
ments have come into the hands of
President Gales of Mexico purport-
ing to be instructions from Kellogg
to American Ambassador Sheffield
pointing toward a break between the
two governments.
Kellogg refused to discuss this re-
port, but intimated he might make
a formal statement later.
While the accuracy of today's forg-
cry report could not be confirmed
here, it has been known that forged
documents of some kind and alleged
espionage and rifling of diplomatic
pouches have complicated United
States-Mexican relations.

Continued From Page y


ton lost 81 900 appropriation voted
by the Assembly because the item
did not appear in the appropriation
bill signed by the Governor,
House Speaker Harry c.. Leslie eX-
planned to the Senate last week that
the item was omitted because it
was found the association was not
incorporated and so could not receive
funds from the State.
Bear Affidavits
The association officers were to
bear affldavits showing the body was
incorporated and We're to ask a few
questions as to why record of the
incorporation does not appear in a
card index at the Secretary of States
office.
The other angry Senator was Sam
Benz Dem.), English. who is carry
ing a letter from Pliny Wolford.
Jackson's secretary, which Benz in
tended to read to the Senators.
This letter attempts to explain
why Jackson pocket vetoed the Benz
bill abolishing a term of court in
Benz's district. Benz had sought to
save some taxes for the home folks.
Personal Attention
Wolfard's letter says the Governor
gave that bill his very personal at
tention, but the Governor found that
the House amended it and the Senate
failed to concur in the amendment.
Benz looked through the records
and vows the amendment was con-
Cured in.
Recalling that the Governor signed
the appropriation bill. which did not
carry regularly passed amendment
which would have separated funds
of two State institutions Of which
the Governors brother, James, is
superintendent, Benz inquired:
"Why should he be so particular
in this instance and so slack in re-
gard to the appropriation measure?"
The Governor was reported sick
in bed so he could not be interviewed
about the matter.
Vouchers Ignored
Attorney General Arthur L. Gill
liom condemned the section Of the
measure providing money to pay the
Senators for the Dearth trial and
State Auditor L. S. Bowman has
refused to honor pay vouchers.
Before leaving for their homes
for the weekend some of the Sem
ators made volunteer contributions
to a fund that employees of the Sen
ate, serving during the trial, might
receive some recompense.
Those who are insistent on a
special session to straighten out the
budget tangle declare that it is nec-
essary to set a precedent that laws
must be properly passed before they
can be recognized. They do not
limit their, powers to any particular
bill, but bring all matters to show
down.
