Of Secretary Work seems to have been
general In the department"
Senator Walsh said the failure Of the
protest Of the White Eagle Oil & Rein
ing Co. against the contract to get the
attention Of Mr.. Donovan between
April and August. showed a necessity
for some reform in the system in vogue
at the Department of Justice" He re-
called that 1t was months and 10 DAYS
before the Department Of Justice acted
on the contract renewal.
Senator Glenn, in his report, de-
clared, the entire record shows conclu-
Sively that Secretary Work employed
every safeguard afforded him by the
Government to protect its interests.
The various issues involved received the
prompt and thorough attention Of the
recognized authoritative officials In
the Department of the Interior"
Glenn's report also refers to Senator
Walsh's connection with the case, say
ing that Walsh had been Somewhat
familiar with the situation surrounding
the contract from before the time OF
Its execution in 1922 until after its re-
newal." The report added that In jan
urary, 1928, Walsh obtained the full
text OF the Cat Greek contract contain
ing an option of renewal provision
identical with that on the Salt Greek
Sinclair contract and In November,
1928, the full text Of Falls advertise
ment for bids and the Sinclair Salt
Creek contract had been available to
the committee.

having said in letter last February

that he is legally bound to renew, ale.
though have not been able to give
the subject the study that 1t ought 70
have in order to arrive at conclusion
such as would be reached by q good

possible effect of bringing into unwar-
ranted disrepute and disgrace" former
