He cited the "et tn, Brute" report
as one, and added that another had
gone out in connection with the
testimony of W. A. Patterson, presi-
dent of United Air Lines, in de-
scribing request made to him in
1914 to contribute to the Democratic
campaign fund.
The Maryland Senator said Mr.
Patterson had testified that Mr..
Pauley made no improper proposal
to him over the telephone in asking
for contribution Senator Tydings
declared, however, that lone of the
flnest newspapers. in America here
in the Capital said in an eight
column banner. "Pauley Accused
Over 5000 Gift Plea" The Sen
ator said he had also heard that over
the radio from two commentators.
Mr.. Patterson's testimony was
that George Killion, who was help
ing to collect Democratic campaign
funds in 1914, asked him over the
telephone to raise s35 900. Mr.. Pat
terson said Mr.. Killion later called
Mr.. Pauley to the telephone and he
quoted Mr.. Pauley as suggesting
he should think this over twice"
before making a decision.
Near the end of yesterdays ses-
sion, Mr.. Pauley told the committee
he cannot now consider withdrawal,
in fairness to himself and others
concerned. He read a prepared
statement, In answer to the query
of Senator Saltonstall, Republican,
of Massachusetts, a few days ago, as
to whether he would consider STEP
ping aside "as patriotic Amer
ican,'' in view of the difficult situa-
tion he would face in the Navy
Department, if confirmed.

| The nominee reminded reporters
he has not yet presented his affirm

that would change the situation.
One reliable Democratic source at
the Capitol said today, however, that
Mr.. Pauley has not gained any votes
on the Senate floor in recent days,
but may have lost one or two.
Mr. Pauley jumped up in the hear
ing room late yesterday to shout,
That is a dirty lie," when John A.
