Assistant Secretary of War Louis

johnson said that while we hope

Mr.. Roosevelt hit at talk of de-

If America cannot meet the chal-

he did not know exactly what the
shortage was because auditors still
were working on the accounts. 9th

association said they had not had
time to check their records with
auditors to ascertain exact amounts
George SWink, chairman of the
association board of directors. told
the grand jury while discussing
Walters handling of affairs, L had
absolute confidence in him"
SWink said he understood that
during the last two years Walters
had been paid a salary of $500 a
month and he and Paul C. Atwood
Walters assistant, were bonded up
to 100000. Walters was charged
with forging Swink's signature TO
10 checks tOtaling $73317.
Various ranchcrS questioned by
the grand jury limited at business
deals they had with the association
and the part Walters played III
them. Other deals, they said, had
nothing to do with the association
but we're between them and Walters
as individuals.

neither he nor Walters referred to
the commission again. When Jones
realized Walters had cashed a $500
