In spite OF the fact that "a re-
traction of his appeal would bring
about a suspension Of the one-year
jail sentence imposed upon him by
Justice william Hitz. together with
a fine of $40 900. the former cab
met officers went forward with
his efforts TO obtain an exonera-
ton.

scanda.- came to the attention of
the nation. the former secretary
late yesterday Issued a public state
ment, summing up his version OF
the naval petroleum reserve leases.

plea that the American people not
believe him guilty OF this damn
