Interrogation of Gen Black Aims to Spark Jokes and Withdrawals
Washington March 2. An investigatory session of the Senate committee examining Gen Black's charges focused on James A. Whitall's pension case. Black said he heard a committee joke about a Democrat controlling the inquiry, while Whitall, if withdrawn, might remain on the rolls. The panel also considered Reuben Neil's claim and a Pettibone-linked document suggesting further evidence. Black warned the run of clerks within his office could indicate jockeying. The exchange touched on party alignment and internal maneuvers without concluding the matter.
