DISPUTE over
STOLEN STATE
PAPERS STORY
Linking Hoover Aid to Doc
umentS Brings Denial by
KeIIogg's Office.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l-Sharp
disagreement developed today re-
garding the senate's version of tes-
timony given before a special in
vestigating committee by Arthur
Bliss Lane, chief of the state de-
partment's Mexican affairs division,
in which Lane discussed documents
forged or stolen from the American
embassy in Mexico City.
The GrauStarkian story was re-
vived in connection with Senator
David A. Reeds investigation of the
so-called Hearst documents, and
still another set of papers alleged
to have emanated from the Rus
sian government.
The Russian documents, purport--
ing to show that Senators Borah
and Norris received funds from the
Soviet Russian treasury, were pro-
nounced spurious, as were docu-
ments relating to Mexican-Ameri-
can relations published last year by
the Hearst papers.
Claim Lane Misguided
Testifying before the committee
relative to the documents purporting
to have been stolen from the Amer
lean embassy in Mexico, Lane is
quoted in the stenographic account
of the testimony as saying he OBJ
tanned the papers in behalf of the
state department from George Barr
Baker, a magazine writer, who ac-
companied President-Elect Hoover
on his recent South American Jour
ney.
State department officials in
formed the United Press that Lane
had been misquoted; that re was
In Mexico City at the time the
documents passed from Baker to
the government. 1t was recalled in
this connection that newspaper re-
ports at the time said Baker had
delivered the documents to a repre-
sentative of the naval intelligence
service in New York.
Call Documents FOrgeries
They we're brought to Washington
in the navy's custody and were ex-
amined, part of them being declared
forgeries. Then, the documents
were turned over to the state de-
partment and now are in the official
files. Officials said the state de-
partment did not receive the papers
from Baker.
Secretary of State Kellogg refused
at the time to make the documents
public and his position remained I'M
changed today.
Kellogg would not comment on
the resurrection of the story by
Reeds committee, although he in
Dictated the documents among the
collection which were actually
authentic, in that they had been
stolen from American government
officials, were of no consequence.
Borah Warts Further Probe
Chairman Reed said he did not
intend to carry the investigation
further by calling Baker to testify.
He took the position that all the
4. documents admittedly were spur
ious and would not merit further
investigation.
Borah was reported today to be
anxious for further action against
the author of a forged Russian
document which alleged that he and
Norris had accepted money from the
SOCKETS. 1t was understood Borah
was considering suggesting kellogg
request the Russian government to
investigate the affair.

4O-HOUR DAY
SEEN IN FUTURE
Laboratory Babies Also
Predicted by Briton.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. ia forty
eight hour day, laboratory babies,
synthetic foodstuffs. 150-year age
limit for humans and two-hour
workdays, are among the predictions
made by Lord Birkenhead, British
statesman, in an article on what
the World Will Be 100 Years From
Now" in the February Cosmopoli-
tan magazine.
The forty-eight-ho day would
be accomplished, according to Lord
Birkenhead, "by utilizing tidal en-
ergy to diminish the speed of the
aarth's rotation"
In discussing the laboratory
baby, Lord Birkenhead writes:
1.-The results of much research
show that the connection between
a mother and her growing child is
purely chemical; there is no valid
reason why one day biologists
should not be able perfectly to imi-
tate that chemical connection in
the laboratory"
Humans will be able to live $50
years, he writes, because by 2029
biologists will have learned the Sc
crets of the living chemistry of the
human body-or at least enough of
it to achieve startling results.
