dollars worth of stock. Jenner, a behind-the - scenes power m state GOP circles, has been in virtual seclustion since he retired from the Senate last winter. Then it was revealed he had formed a land development company aimed at taking advantage of a land boom which was certain to follow the building of a deep-water seaport in Northern Indiana. The firm, which Jenner said was “a straight forward, open and aboveboard, business deal.” drew Considerable attention because its ■MtrlWof directors was included Up "epublican state officials. They included GOP state chairman Robert Matthews. More Options Taken At a news conference several weeks ago. Jenner angrily denounced the publicity given his ■firm. He said the corporation’s only holding was a SI,OOO option on 46 acres of land in LaPorte County "nowhere near the proposed port.” Since then, the corporation has taken on more land. But Jack C. Brown, former U. S. district attorney and secretary of new corporation, said the generaL'location of the holdings would not be revealed until the hearing Friday. if then. Indications were that the land optoins would produce the biggest hassle at the hearing. Walsh, a Democrat, indicated he would insist that the corporation produce copies of land-buy-ing options it has obtained. Jenner and Brown stoutly contended they would not, at least publicly. Brown, Jenner’s law partner, said it would be unfair to show competitors what the firm is buying add what it is paying because "they could then outbid us." "Certainly we don’t want to spread it around.” he said. “But |if Walsh will assure us that he will keep it confidential, he can see any options we have.” Buying Steel Land? If Walsh demands , that the options be made public "we will cross that bridge at that time,” Brown said. Walsh said he “wants to make sure” the corporation is not buying land from any steel companies which might benefit from Governor Handley’s push for a harbor. ~ Walsh also indicated he would inquire into thehiring of Durwood B. McDonald, LaPorte, as the firm’s registered dealer in charge of stock sales. Walsh said McDonald, a close friend of Handley, had never been licensed previously as a stock dealer. "I don’t see any redson why there should be any question about McDonald,” Brown said. "He was registered and approved by Walsh. “I dqn’4 know what Walsh has in mind in regard to the hearing, but Jenner, Farrell and myself will be available for questioning.” Charles Farrell. Fort Wayne, is vice president of the corporation.
