WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-What outgoing Postmaster General Wal ter F. Brown said inc o m n g Postmaster General James A. Far ley said of Senator Hugo L. Black, chairman of the Senate committee Investigating air mail contracts, came out Saturday when Brown said Farley said of Black "hes just a publicity hound' but asked him not to tell anybody because I have to get along with him"
 Roars of laughter, in which Farley, Brown and Black joined, rolled over the committee room, but when Farley could be heard he declared T made no such statement"
 The incident was an anticli- max after day of tense debate over cancellation of air mail con- tracts by Farley on the grounds that awards made during Browns term as Postmaster General were obtained through collision and fraud.
 Brown previously had refused to divulge Farley's personal re- mark" on the grounds that it was made in confidence. Saturday Farley declared Brown was free to disclose any remark he had made.
