PauIey F|atIy Denies
Any Attempt 10 Sway
TideIands Oil Suit
Ickes Misunderstood
Him, Nominee Declares;
New Charges Are Made
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Edwin w. Pauley, oil man and
former treasurer of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, made
a sweeping denial before the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee
that he ever sought to have Sec
retary of Interior Ickes or any
other Government official "post-
pone or withdraw" any law suit
regarding ownership of tide
lands along the coast, or that
he ever exerted pressure on any
one in connection with tidelands
litigation or legislation.
The chief allegation raised against
his confirmation as UnderSecretary
of the Navy was the testimony o1
Mr.. Ickes last week that Mr.. Pauley
told him the tidelands suit would be
political mistake, and that Mr.
Pauley said he could raise severa.
hundred thousand dollars in cam
paign contributions if the Govern
ment did not sue to gain title to the
tidelands.
The suit, seeking Federal title tc
the tidelands of California, was filed
against the State last year and is
i still pending. Meanwhile, there is a
bill in Congress which would nullify
the litigation by reaffirming the
claim of the States that they hold
title to tidelands. Forty-five State
Attorney Generals have supported
the bill.
Says Ickes Misunderstood Him.
Mr.. Pauley testified that Mr.. Ickes
misunderstood" him if the cabinet
member thought he was attempt
| ing to head off a tidelands oil suit
by the promise of campaign contri-
buttons.
The nominee presented to the
committee statement in which he
reiterated his denial that as COM
mittee treasurer he ever had So
licited contingent contributions
He denied also, in response to q
question by Senator Tydings, Demo
crat, Of Maryland, that fro had ever
suggested to cabinet members that
the policy of giving something fol
something" be followed in obtaining
political donations
Mr.. Pauley told the committee in
his prepared statement that he has
made known his view in support OF
State ownership of these lands (out
to the 3-mile lirait) to everybody
but he insisted that is quite diff
ferent thing from exerting pressure
New Series of Charges.
Before Mr.. Pauley presented his
formal answer to the charges, Sem
ator Tobey, Republican, of New
Hampshire, read into the record q
letter from John G. Packard, a Los
Angeles attorney, opposing Mr.
Pauley's confirmation and raising 8
series of new allegations.
The letter charged that Cheste,

President, resigned from the Demo.

He denied emphatically that Brit

that If Mr.. Vishinsky really believed
it was, then Mr.. Bevin should not

I plead with you either to
absolve us or brand us as guilty."
Hits Bevin Assertion Friday.
Vishinsky told the Council earlier
that nothing worse could have been
said" than Mr.. Bevin's assertion last
Friday that propaganda from Mos
cow was a danger to peace.
The Russian vice foreign commits
sar, replying to Mr.. Bevin's defense
then of British policies in Greece
against Soviet attack, declared.
"It is the opinion of the Soviet
delegation that nothing worse could
have been said than this declara-
ton of Mr.. Bevin's of February /,
1916.
Does he think that his declara-
tion is in harmony with what he
said about the friendship between
the two nations (Russia and Great
Britain)?
when we heard these words =
all the Soviet delegation felt the cold
breath of the unhappy past. We
could not help thinking of the dark
shadows which have worked not for
good but for i'll relations between
the two countries"
Potsdam Farley Cited.
Mr.. vishinsky's remarks opened
the second discussion of the ex-
plosive Greek question. On Friday
he demanded quick withdrawal
Of British troops from Greece on
the grounds that conditions there
were threatening to Bulgaria and
Albania.
At the Potsdam Conference, Mr.
Vishinsky said, Russion Foreign

a Soviet memorandum including
these two points: That the Allies

|CurIey Defense Says
Prosecutor 'Snaiched'
Requests From Books

The defense charged today in the
mail fraud trial in District Court in
volving Representative Curley,
Democrat, OF Massachusetts, and
two other defendants associated
with Engineers Group, Inc, that
the Governments prospective in
structions to the fury were merely
"snatched out of the law books. /"
The jury is expected to get the
case Thursday.
Defense Counsel william E. Leahy,
representing Representative Curley,
asserted that the Government re-
quests as to the instructions Justice
James M. Proctor will delivery to
the jury do not apply to the evi-
dence in this case. They are tex
cerpts from legal opinions" Mr..
Leahy said, and are generalizations
Of the law and not to be confined
to the current trial,
The Government submitted % re-
quests and the defense rs. Special
Assistant to the Attorney General
William A. Paisley, one of the prose-
cutors, told Justice Proctor he
should charge the jury on four ma
jor points-whether scheme to de-
fraud existed; who the participants
were; whether the mails were used
to further the plan, and If con-
spiracy existed. Mr.. Paisley said the
Government requests were sug-
gestions to the Judge who was not
expected to use the same language
in his charge.
The jury has been excused until
tomorrow, when opposing counsel
will make their final arguments.
Today's session was taken up with
the arguments by lawyers on the
suggested instructions to the jury.
Defense Counsel William A. Gal
lagher. representing Donald Wake
field Smith, former member of the

ready to make another motion for

Character testimony for Mr..
Smith was given last week. This

president Of the group, who is serv-
ing five years for sending fraudulent
securities through the mails, is also
a defendant. The Government says
Representative Curley was president
