A committee hearing revealed rumors linking Secretary Tumulty and Bernard Baruch to alleged leaks about the Presidents note. Witnesses discussed sources, possible markets manipulation, and Baruch's role with private lines to brokers.

Secretary Tumulty issued a formal denial after Representative Wood mentioned his name in the leak debate. He states he did not know of the President's peace note before it became public and urges Wood to issue a public apology for repeating hearsay. He adds he has not been at the Biltmore in a year and has no secret discussions about peace with Baruch. He notes a secretary often must keep matters secret to avoid embarrassment.

Open Navy Oil Reserve amendment backs leasing bill
A Senate submitted amendment to a general leasing bill aims to aid claimants in California naval air reserve lands. Senator Pittman notes the change replaces the Phelan amendment, aligning with Interior Department proposals, while limiting impact to under 6 percent of reserve lands and directing royalties to the Navy.
