Solons Praise
Rockefeller Stand

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-(P-The
demand Of John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.,
for the resignation of Robert w.
Stewart is regarded by leaders of the
senate oil investigation as a move de-
serving Of high praise.
Both Senator Walsh, democrat,
Montana, veteran prosecutor Of the
oil scandal inquiries, and Senator
Nys, republican, North Dakota, chair
man of the Teapot Dome committee,
have expressed qualification over Mr..
Rockefeller's action, which WIS taken
April 81 and announced yesterday in
New York.
Prior TO the resignation request,
Stewart had twice refused to answer
questions put to him in the inquiry
into the operations of the Continental
Trading company, but on his third
appearance revealed that he had re-
ceived $759,000 in Liberton bonds or a
fourth share in the company's profits
accruang from an oil deal in this
country, and had held them in trust
until after the acquittal of Harry +.
Sinclair when they we're delivered to
the Indiana Standard.
Country Waking Up
Coupled wit hthe ringing speech"
Of Edwin P. Parker before the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States, Mr.. Rockefeller's action, in
the opinion Of Senator Walsh, is
gratifying evidence that the business
world is waking up TO the enormity
of the offenses revealed by the COM
mittee."
1T Is reassuring to know" he
aid aNL.A a. --II.- IL
ferent to such transgressions as those
disclosed. The result Of the criminal
trials might have been different if
the public conscience had been earlier
aroused by expressions such as those
referred TO-"
Mr.. Parker, who II chairman Of the
board of the United States Chamber
OF Commerce, told the 10th annual
meeting Of the organization here that
business must purge itself of those
pirates" who flaunt the law, defile
business, debauch public servants and
suppress the truth about deals the
public is entitled to know about. He
said il was time that the profession
considered the disturbing evidence
of a public be damned" policy on
the part Of some of its members.
'Nye Lauds Stand
Declaring Mr.. Rockefeller was to
be congratulated. Chairman Nye said
he hoped the Indiana Standard stock
holders would find his attitude con-
tagious.
II am happy If the work OF the
committee investigating the scandal
has caused the inauguration Of a
program for a cleanup in the oil
world" the North Dakotan added.
Stewart will go on trial here May
81 on the senate contempt charges
growing out Of his refusal, on his
first appearance before the oil COM
mittee, to tell whether he had dis
cussed Continental profits with Sin
