and that there had been a settlement.
Il am not prepared to say whether
the shortage involved criminal acts
or resulted from ineficiency in ac-
counting methods" he said
He added that he thought one
good result" of the hearings would
be an improvement in auditing pro-
cedure at the Department Of the In
terror.
Meanwhile. Senator Smathers
Democrat. Of New Jersey asserted
without going into details, that from
what he had heard in committee
hearings he believed that we need q
new Secretary Of Interior"
The New Jersey Senator made the
statement in commenting on evidence
brought out previously at the COM
mittee hearings. He said he was not
prepared to vote on the Burlew
nomination at this time and suggested
that Senator Pittman brief the mass
of evidence the Nevadan had offered
in opposition to Mr.. Burlew's con-
firmation.
Senator Pittman, continuing his
critical examination Of the appointee,
read reports of hot oil" investiga-
ton in Texas in 1885. explaining that
he intended to show that Mr.. Burlew,
as personnel officer, was derelict in his
duties. The hot oil' investigation
ended in the suspension Of two ex-
aminers sent by the Interior Depart
ment to Texas to check on illegal oil
operations
Mr.. Burlew told the committee he
had nothing to do with the appoint
ment of the examiners in question,
as, under an order by Secretary Ickes,
the appointment Of all investiga-
tors was made the responsibility OF
Louis r. CLAWS. then director Of the
departments division Of 1nvestiga-
ton.
Senator Pittman said the record of
the case showed the two investiga-
tors instead Of exposing illicit deal
ings, became partners in a hot oil''
enterprise
Senator O'Mahoney said he had no
desire to shut of" any inquiry by
the committee bearing on Mr.. Bur-
LEWIS qualifications for appointment,
but he thought If the committee was
going to investigate the whole Depart
ment of the Interior, it should do 80
by resolution" He said it was
evident to him that Mr.. Burlew was
in no way to blame for the so-called
Stitely and other cases which have
been investigated by the committee
and that, on the other hand, Mr..
Burlew had done all he could to
remedy the situation.
At the outset of today's hearing
Representative O'Connor, Democrat
Of Rhode Island requested the COM
mittee to investigate the action of the
Interior Department in turning over
1000, ,000, 900 cubic feet Of helium ga.
to the Goodyear Co., which, he said, Is
German dominated. Chairman Adams
later said he did not consider this to
be matter for study by the Public
Lands Committee.

mittee for Industrial Organization
leaders and others he has denounced
as Communists.
Likening Mayor Hague to Herr
Hitler, she says President Roosevelt,
"as head of that liberal party which
passed the Labor Relations Act"
should be asked about the concep-
ton Of government held by Mr. Hague,
State Democratic leader and vice
chairman Of the National Democratic
Committee.
Speaking last night at a meeting

Denies Communism Charge.
She said the c. I. O., which Mr..

There are few Communists in
