PRESS SENATE 1 BATTLE OVER MELLON POST Norris Rewrites Report After New Evidence Bared by Walsh. BY PAIL R. MAIIOV. V.'Qited PrrA Mass < frrrpond*nt WASHINGTON, May I.—'The contest over continuance in office of Andrew J. Mellon, vccretary of treasury, developed fur'tier todav in the senate judiciary committee lithe lawers of the committed recessed the fourth day of executive areument-s over Mellon's legal status. The committee was reported divided 10 to 7 or 3 to 8 in Mellon's favor. Following new evidence disclosed by Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana relative to Mellon's association in 192a wish an Aluminum Company of America deal. Chairman George Norris of the committee is rewriting the report he rreently submitted, to enlarge its contents The report holds Mellon is violating an old federal statute by owning stock in the Aluminum Company and other concerns engaged in commerce.

Letter Before Committee A letter has-been laid before the committee, signed by Mellon, in \ w hich he fakes the position he is j a completely disassociated from the I various companies "as if I were I dead.’’ it was learned today. Mellon contends he was interested I >' the 1925 merger deal only in an : advisory oapacitv. Mellon's deposition in the civil i suit, over the 192a merger does, not make clear what contract ho signed j jn connection with the matter. He reveals only he did sign one \ contract, that the deal between the j aluminum company and the late i James JR. Duke interests was con- j summaxed at his apartment, here, ! and that he made a trip to the site j of the merged companies property in Canada along with Duke. Arthur V. Davis, pr* ’ .of the Aluminum Company and others. Tt, is not evident from the testimony whether Mellon signed as a stockholder of the Aluminum Company or in what, capacity lie acted. The committee i.s considering reopening its hearings to clear up the matter, but some senators are against the move for fear they might, be accused of "persecuting'’ the secretary.

Air Saltzman Ruling They say they are. willing to art on the rvidence as it stands and point, out they are using only the e'idenre given by Mellon himself. Norris intends to work into his report the fact that the senate interstate commerce committee Tuesday required Charles McK. Saltzman to dispose of his stock in the General Electric Company and the American Telephone and Telegraph Company before it would confirm his nomination to the federal radio commission. It always has been the intention of the senate. Morris believes, never to confirm officials who own stock in concerns which might, have an interest in obtaining concessions from the government. There is. however, one difference between the Mellon and Saltzman cases. The radio commission law specifically states no member of the commission shall own stock in any corporation, while the federal statute invoked against Mellon states no man can be secretary of treasury who is directly or indirectly interested in trade or commerce.

Thse other day Sabo observed the second anniversary of his incarceration in "Death Row.” His attorneys have tried in vain to save him. When Sabo was "dressed in" two years ago he rould neither read nor speak English. Now he speaks fluently and the sign in his cell attests the progress he has made in writing. His tutors were companions in “Death Row"— thirteen of them—'jho have paid society's capital penalty. Sabo can read well, too, and he spends most of his time pouring through the Bible and other religious books.
