ICKES' CHIEF
SPY Ely Ed

Transfer to New Post
Hinted; Officials
Bar Comment

Louis A. CLAWS, chief of secre-
tary Harold L. Ickes' "OGPU,"
was reported about to be fired"
today because of an investigation
into the activities of one of Secre-
tary Ickes' personal assistants.
That information came from
an authoritative source in denial
of an earlier report that Mr..
CLAWS was resigning his post with
Secretary Ickes to take another
position being created by request
of President Roosevelt.
1t was learned that Mr.. CLAWS,
who recently was rebuffed by the
Administration for an investiga-
ton into PWA contracts, which
he alleged were favoring a COM
pany in which a Cabinet member
was interested, had re Gently
turned his probing activities
toward one of Secretary Ickes'
chief confidants and another high
officer of the Interior Department.
Center Of Tiffs
On many occasions since
CLAWS appointment as chief Of
the Interior Department investi.
eating division he has been the
center of interdepartmental quar-.
rels. Charges have been made
that his division tapped private
telephone lines of Government
heads, opened and inspected mail
and directly or indirectly caused
numerous dismissals in PWA
ranks"
AS chief Oman" of the depart.
ment, it has been his particular
duty to see that PWA funds were
not misspent by those favored
with loans or grants, and Ito
keep a watch over department
employees generally"
1t was CLAWS, who as chief Of
the Interior apartment field di-
vision in 1908, uncovered alleged
schemes of the Morgan uggen-
helm syndicate and other large
corporations to buy rich coal
lands in Alaska through dummy
entrymen" in violation of the law.
AS a result of that discovery he
catapulted the administration of
President Taft into bitter feud,
finally resulting in his dismissal.
He had opposed the opinion of
the then Interior Secretary, Rich.
ard A. Ballinger, who instructed
him to drop the investigation.
The fight finally went to Attor-
ney General Wickersham and
President Taft, the latter failing
to uphold him.
Given New Post
Soon after Secretary Ickes took
office and control of the Public
Works Administration purse was
given him, he appointed Mr.. Gla-
Wis to the investigating post and
President Roosevelt, in an execu-
tive order, restored his Civil Ser.
vice status.
Mr.. CLAWS could not be reached
for comment on either of the
two reports circulated today and
at the office of Secretary Ickes
the only answer to question was
I'VE have nothing to say"

NEW YORK, Feb. 18. Julian
Street has been driven out of New
York by drink-literally so. A mod
crate drinker, but one who knows
more about wines and their roman
tic past, he once wrote book on
the subject 1t was labor of love
and he expected only scant royal
ties.
Oddly, it Grated a furore, SEEM
ing TO appeal especially to a nation
poisoning itself with bathtub fix
lures. Even France thought it such
a masterpiece of propaganda for
their WINNERS that it was translat-
ed, and sold like hotcakes. England,
too, made a fuss over it.
So Street was besieged by editors
for more articles on wines. He full
filled many requests, but was be-
coming fed up. Then came repeal,
and the pressure was greater than
ever. When he tried to write on
other topics editors showed only
passive interest. They wanted his
views on wine.
As a result, the author is now hy-
ing in a shack on the Arizona desert,
trying TO complete a serial he had
started four years ago. Instead OF
a SNUG midtown address. the ad-
dress now is Desert Willow Ranch,
