A concession that the narrow

background and that there are
dozens like it here" came from
Richard Rowland. president of
the National Trust for Historic

saved and that one means of
doing so might be to convert
the ground floor, now used as
a delicatesSen, into an arched
over driveway to the proposed

The Commissioners expressed
sympathy with the wishes of
the Georgetowners. but ex-
pressed serious doubt that they
have legal authority to overturn
the condemnation order by the

pending a legal opinion on the
question by the Corporation

1t. Brown, 46, commander
of the Waldorf Barracks, was
wounded fatally yesterday try

HIS SON WAS called be-
fore the Senate Banking
Committee after the bank
holiday" of 1888. Ferdinand
Pecora, new Supreme Court
Justice in New York, was
counsel. 1t was not a witch
hunt. 1t was an old-faSh-
ioned melodrama, and ]. P.
Morgan. despite obvious per-
sonality handicaps, was cast
as the villain.
It was brought out that
Morgan & Co, and it's part
ners had not paid income
taxes for 1880 and 1881, years
in which they had sold
stocks at tremendous losses.
It was brought out that such
disparate personalities as
Calvin Coolidge, John w.
DaYis, Gen. John ]. Pershing
and Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh had been invited to
purchase small amounts of
new stocks at less than the
issuing price (an old Eng
fish underwriting practice).
There was other news
breaking at the time. Presi-
dent Roosevelt announced
he was taking the Nation off
the gold standard, The big
local story was the appoint
ment of an administrator
for one of the Washington
banks that had failed to re-
open after the holiday"
But the spotlight of public
interest never Strayed from
j. p, Morgan in the witness
chair. Every hearing day
started with expectation of
sensational news, and the ex-
pectationS we're always real
lied before the adiourning
gavel fell.
Someone suggested that
the hearing was becoming a
circus. That was enough of
an idea for Frank Braden,
the advance man for Ring
ling Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey.
He Strode down the aisle
with a female dwarf clutch
ing his hand. He placed her
in an empty seat next to
MIR. Morgan. She climbed
into his lap. He unbent and
showed her his watch. There
was some picture-taking.
Ferdinand Pecofa was
furious. He issued a warning
that, if the pictures we're
published, the photographers
could not come back. Come
back! They'd had it.
1t was a lot of fun. But it
did not interfere with his
tory. 1t was the end of

In any event, Mr.. Harris and
Mr.. o'Hara made it clear that
the subcommittee has no in
tention OF pursuing the Adams
matter any further. The chair
man said Mr.. Adams made his
position plain as a witness be-
fore the subcommittee last
summer. He said no useful pur-
pose would be served in asking
him or Mr.. Goldfine TO testify
again on their friendship which
included extensive Goldflne
.gift-giving and hospitality for
Mr., Adams in past years. Nor
will any further hearings be
held on the Adams-Goldfine
association, he added
1T is not my purpose, Mr..

responsible testimony and,
without conscience, gave ear to

subStantiated gossip"
Defends Committee
Mr.. Harris replied:
THE subcommittee is not
responsible for Mr.. Adams diff
f1culty. He brought it on him
self. He has no one else to
blame, however good his inten-
tons were. The subcommittee
has conducted no campaign of
vilification.' 1t seeks no per-
sonal advantage and has made
no request for his removal from
public life. Nor has the sub
committee had any statement
to make on the matter since Mr..
Adams personal friend, Mr..
Goldfine, testified in July.
From my observation, those
seeking his removal are pri-
marily from his own party.
"In addition to the informa-
ton developed by the subcom-
mittee regarding his activity
with the regulatory agencies.
the subcommittee has his own
admission of his action and
'imprudence'."
THE only comment I have
ever made" Mr.. Harris recalled,
was that the President should
search his conscience. This l
feel sure he has done. even
though it has taken him some
three months"
Blame Fox Charges
Both Mr.. Harris and Mr..
O'Hara cited the subcommittee
testimony of John Fox, former
Boston newspaper publisher and
