POSTAL LEASE 'RUSH' IS DENIED BY HARRY NEW Testimony Clashes With That of His Former Assistant. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Harry S. New, postmaster-general in the Harding and Coolidge administrations, today denied he "rushed through" the lease for a postal subnation at St. Paul, which later was the subject of a fraud inquiry. New, appearing for the third day before the senate subcommittee investigating postal leases, said “the whole matter had been freely discussed in the department." He denied previous testimony by ■John H. Bartlett, his first assistant, who said New ordered the lease approved, requested an assistant to sign Bartlett’s name, and arranged the transaction in Bartlett’s absence, over his protest. “There was no haste," New said, I did not order his name signed —somebody had to represent Bartlett, and I called in his assistant,

Charles F. Trotter. That Is done a j dozen times a month. He told you j I did not order Bartlett’s name signed.” Blaine contended that the public buildings bill passed, in 1926 authorized purchase of the St. Paul structure, "but the policy did not carry out the program.” New denied this, saying interpretations of the law given him confined the appropriation to new buildings. Blaine precipitated another angry interlude in the Inquiry after Introducing a memorandum dated April 20, 1928, from New to Bartlett, relating to a cabinet discussion of leasing policy. New refused to discuss what had occurred in a cabinet meeting and finally said what he would tell Bartlett of such a matter and what he would say for publication were entirely different matters. Blaine inquired if that meant New would not “tell Bartlett the truth.” “That’s another insulting question,” flared New, spanking the table top with the palm of his hand. “I claim the right at least to respectful treatment as a witness befor this committee. I have lived seventy-odd years, and my reputation for truth is fairly well established.” Because silk thread has greater tenacity than steel wire of the same diameter, a German has invented a cannon made of steel tubes wrapped around with silk until the required size has been obtained.
