~ tne Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, recorded a vehement criticism
today of the publication OF Senate
Munitions Committee affidavit saying
that Elliott Roosevelt contracted to
sell airplanes abroad.
In telegram to Chairman Nye,
Republican, of Indiana, who released
the document, Clark said publicity
was given to a "eanard in what seems
to be as cheap political trick as has
been seen in years" He declared he
was amazed" at Nye's action.
Contract Alleged.
In the deposition, Anthony H. G.,
Fokker, airplane manufacturer, was
quoted as saying he contracted to pay
the Presidents son S5O0,000 commits
sion to sell so military planes to Rus
sia. Young Roosevelt declared the
contract, which was not fulfilled, COW
cred only the sale of commercial planes
to foreign private corporations and
that no sucn figure as $500,000 was
mentioned.
Nye has declared that his action IN
releasing the document was justified
IN view of charges in an aviation mag
azine that the committee was with
holding evidence.
Full Consent Requested.
Clark, q member OF the Senate COM
mittee, notified Nye that mo further
action" should be taken in the name of
the committee without its full con-
sent. Nearly two years ago, he said,
the committee voted unanimously that
the F'okker document warranted no
further investigation.
The decision was made, he said,
"solely because the committee had
neither time, money, nor inclination
to 60 off on wild goose chases having
nothing to do with the legitimate scope
