HURLEY. RICHBERG
REPRESENTATIVES,

In it's Mexican negotiations, SIM
clair was represented by Patrick
j. Hurley, former secretary of war
under Herbert Hoover. Standard
and Dutch Shell has as their ne
gotiator Donald r. Richberg, one
time counsel for NRA and an ex-
inner circle New Dealer
Bearing the White House bless
ing, Richberg went to Mexico to
negotiate one settlement for all the
oil companies. After a good start,
he begged down. Mexico was insist
ing the oil companies should get
paid only for plant and equipment
seized and for money actually in:-
vested The oil companies naturally
wanted to be paid for the potential
value of the properties. The gar
couldn't be bridged.
FUNNY PART
OF IT IS
Harry Sinclair presently decid-
ed a bird in the hand was worth
two in the bush, and sent Hurley
down to Mexico. Hurley found the
Mexicans had been assured that
they needn't consider Sinclair, be-
cause if Standard and Shell settled
Sinclair would have to follow along
He also found that in view of the
Roosevelt administrations atti.
tude. settlement would have to bt
made on the Mexicans' terms. S.
Sinclair pulled out of the ''unitet
front and accepted the settlemen
Hurley and President Cardena
worked out.
And the funny part about it al
is this: that this settlement, fol
lowing the line of the New Deal
Nod neighbor policy, was evolve,
~ the arch-Republican Hurley
while the eX-New Dealer Richber
failed to work out a good neighbo
settlement for Standard and Shell

Flynn Declares Letter
'Speoks for Itself

NEW YORK, Oct. 18 (P.-Ed-
ward J. Flynn, Democratic nation
al chairman, said. The letter speaks
for itself" when asked today to
comment upon instructions sent by
him to Democratic campaign work
ers in regard to their operations
under the Hatch Act.
Mr.. Flynn was asked at press
conference particularly about a let
ter received by Democratic work
ers in Minneapolis which indicated
they could obtain support, financial
and otherwise and still be within
the confines of the Hatch Act.
In answer to a question, Mr..
Flynn said that undoubtedly SIM
ilsr letters had gone out 10 cam
paign managers IN other States.
Text of Letter.
The letter to which questioners
referred was published today in the
New York Times as follows:
You will find attached two legal
opinions to guide you in what you
are permitted to do with respect
to soliciting and giving contrlbu-
tions under the Hatch Act during
the election campaign.
Even where the type of Govern
ment or State employe cannot en-
gage in political activity or even
make contributions (and there are
very few, as you will see from the
annexed legal opinions, their
friends and relatives are in no way
prohibited from such activities"
Attached Legal Opinion.
Attached was legal opinion from
Sol A. Rosenblatt. general counsel
for the Democratic National Com
mittee, and an Interpretation from
Oliver A. Quayle, jr., national
treasurer.
Mr.. Rosenblatt'S opinion said in
part that the section title 18, Sec
ton GLE of the U. S. c. by its very
terms deals only with lists of names
of persons receiving compensation,
employment or benefits from acts of
Congress appropriating funds for
work relief or relief purposes. 1t
therefore pertains only to lists of
names of persons working for w. P.
A. or P. w. A. and similar relief Or
CARNATIONS and otherwise receiving
relief funds at home"
Can Furnish Lists.
The opinion said there was moth
ing in the original Hatch Act or
recent amendments to the Corrupt
Practices Act which makes it un-
lawful for any person to give list
of Government employees working in
and for Government departments
and agencies to political candidate,
committee, campaign manager or
to any person for delivery to such
persons nor is it unlawful for you
to receive such list or names of
persons employed by the Govern
ment."
1t added there was nothing un-
lawful in having ANY person sup

ment by Mr.. Flynn that the news
papers were 'intimidated" by their
advertisers.
Everybody knows you can't die
tate to the newspapers of this coun-
try" he said.
Told that a Senate investigation
0f Republican expenditures had been
sought and that a Democratic con-
tention had been made in WASH
ington that campaign expenditures
of independent groups and private
individuals in behalf of Republican
Presidential Candidate Wendell l..
Willkie were a "subterfuge" to avoid
the Hatch Act, Mr.. Martin replied: ::
How can any one say its subter-
fuge when we "the National Com
mittee) have nothing to do about
it? I welcome any investigation as
far as we are concerned"
Decided to Reduce Staff.
The Republican National Com
mittee, he said, only two days ago
decided to reduce its research staft
in order to keep within expense linn
its arbitrarily established by Mr.
Willkie.
President Roosevelt's decision to
make five major political speeches
Mr.. Martin said. unquestionably
means the New Dealers are jlt-
terry"
The people do not want war and
that is why they are turning to Mr..
Willkie," he said The move also
means Mr.. Roosevelt has abandoned
the 'phonoy draft issue and is fight
ing in the open for a third term
M. Martin said the campaign
would be "a hard fought battle
right down to the finish and It will
be a Willkie victory" He predicted
victory with more than 300 electoral
votes. A total Of 266 are necessary
