“SLUSH HIND" INVESTIGATED By William K. Hutchinson, INS Staff Correspondent Washington, Feb. 16.—-(INS) —The senate oil inquiry was directed today toward proving that, the Republican national committee secured $75,000 of the Continental Trading company's mysterious $3,080,000 Liberty bond “slush fund” to pay off a deficit of the 1920 campaign. Two witnesses were summoned to link the Continental company to a $75,000 gift from Harry F. Sinclair to the Republican committee. It was the committee's purpose to prove ultimately that this gift was the Liberty bonds and that the bonds came originally from the Continental company. The witnesses were Joseph F. McMahon, of Potter and Co.. New York, and James Bernieri, of C. F. Childs and Co., New York, both brokers. McMahon was to tell how his firm sold $75,000 of Liberty bonds for Senator T. Coleman Dupont in 1923 and paid the $74,718.87 proceeds into Dupont's account. Bernieri’s firn\ bought the bonds
