Ballinger Denies Reclamation Service Conspiracy Charges
Washington April 20 Secretary Ballinger told the Witnes stand he opposed the reclamation service policy but said his hands were tied for months preventing changes. He denied accusations by Director Newell and engineer A P Davis that he urged the president to restore power to the service and asserted lands were legally withdrawn. He added he would like Newell replaced but blamed inaction on constraints. The committee rejected Attorney Brandes request for the attorney general’s summary amid claims of a conspiracy against the president’s advisers.
