Three Dates 10 Clark
For His Testimony
BY the Assoeiosed Press

Supreme Court Justice Tom
Clark has an invitation to ap-
pear before a House Judiciary
subcommittee investigating the
Justice Department.
Historians and legal experts
in Capitol circles said they could
recall no precedent for such an
appearance. but also that they
knew Of nothing In the constitu-
tional theory of separation of
government powers that would
protect a Supreme Court justice
If he should wish to refuse to
testify.
The name of the justice, in his
1945-49 capacity as Attorney
General. has come up in various
ways in testimony taken by the
subcommittee during its investi-
cations OF tax. mail and vote
fraud cases.
Three Dates Suggested.
After considerable consultation,
capped by more than an hours
discussion yesterday, the sub
committee sent the invitation by
messenger. Chairman Heating
Sead it suggested three dates
next Thursday or Friday or the
following Monday.
Mr.. Keating said he had no
doubt Justice Clark will be as
anxious to be heard as the COM
mittee is to hear him."
Justice Clark's name was men
toned last week in testimony
about the settlement of a tax
case against DR.. Olaf Olson of
Minneapolis. T. Lamar Caudle.
a former Assistant Attorney
General, testified that Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North
Dakota intervened for DR.. Olson,
contending there was an agree
n1ent with Mr.. Clark and Peyton
Ford. then deputy Attorney Gen
eral, for a settlement. The sub
committee was told there was
to be a $35, 900 settlement of the
$4,000 claim if DR.. Olson would
not contest a criminal charge.
Mr.. Caudle said Mr.. Clark told
him Senator LANCER was mis-
taken about any agreement with
the Attorney General.
Firms Case Reviewed.
Earlier the subcommittee re-
ceived testimony that attorneys
for drummer & Associates, Kan
sas bond firm accused of mail
fraud and violation of the Sc
curities Act, got a review of its
case after comforting with Mr..
Clark. The case was later
dropped.
Mr.. Keating would not say
whether the subcommittee might
subpoena Justice Clark if he de-
clined to appear voluntarily.
Reporters learned from COM
mittee members that three voted
to invite Justice Clark-Keating,
Representatives Killings, Repub-
lican, of California and Jonas,
Republican, of Illinois, while
Representative Rogers, Democrat,
of Colorado said he voted against
the move and Representative
Willis, Democrat. OF Louisiana
was absent. ...
The subcommittee meanwhile
was going ahead today with its
inquiry into an investigation
made in 1851 of the San Fran
cisco tax collection Office.

trip over the Skyline Drive seek
ing escape from financial wor-
rieS. He planned to drive along

then himself. He attacked the
child and his wife with a broken
