under oath that Mr.. May told them
he owned the lumber company
They also furnished letters indi-
eating that Mr. May had an interest
in the lumber company. The mat
ter was not cleared up to the salts
faction of the committee. We
wanted MI. May to come back be-

that within the last day or two the
committee wrote another letter to
Representative May asking him spe-
cifically when he will be able to
come to Washington TO appear be-
fore the full committee and be
questioned fully.
Senator Mead added there has
