BURNS AND SON ID TELL THEIR STORY Detectives Will Go Before Grand
 Jury Tomorrow

Washington, Nov. fl tP)-William J. Burns and his son, W. sherman Burns. who have come under con- centrated fire in the Teapot Dome oil jury tampering case, were given permission today by the government 70 explain to the federal grand jury the circumstances surrounding charges that Burns men had fabri- cated testimony which would have led to mistrial in the Fall-Sinclair case.
 Would Disprove Charges
 Showing up in court with the declaration that they could disprove the charges made by one of their own men, William V. McMullin, the internationally known pair were first denied an opportunity to go before the inquisitorial body. but after long argument in the district attorneys office, it was agreed that they must tell their stories tomorrow.
 Assistant District Attorney Bur kinshap first declined to agree to the course suggested by the accused men. but District Attorney Gordon finally reversed the decision Of his subordinate.
 Elder Is silent Tcday
 Tn contrast 10 his attitude when he first appeared in court here in con- ncction with the cast and made startling counter charges against the government. the elder Burns today had little 10 say. After leaving Cor don's office he told some of his as- sistants that he wanted 10 meet with all Of his men who were here shadowing the oil trial jury.
 Burns asked particularly for Charles C. Buddy. manager of his Philadelphia office. and directing head of the corps of operatives who kept the oil jury under more or less surveillance from the beginning of the trial on October IS until the declaration Of a mistrial by Justice Siddons. Buddy was not in the cor ridor at the time but appeared a few minutes later.
 Meets With Operatives
 Buddy. the governor wants to see you downstairs" one of the Burns operatives Informed him. Buddy descended the steps hurried ly and the other detectives, all of whom are under government sub poena followed him.
 The grand jury inquiry then was continued. Burkinshaw presenting some odds and ends o' testimony designed to fill some of the gaps still remaining before the jury meets to decide whether any presentment Is to be made and if so against whom Indictments are to be drawn.
