POST AGAIN ASKS SENATE PROBE OF WALSH CASE Hits 'Amazing Charges' Of Conspiracy by ClarkDemands 'Full' Inquiry The New York Post will continue to demand a "full Senate investigation" of the charge that Senator David I. Walsh, Massachusetts Democ. -t, visited "a house of degradation" in Brooklyn, Ted O.

Thackrey, editor and assistant publisher of the Post, said today, He declared the Post would have "more to say later about the unfounded and amazing charges of conspriacy made by Senator Clark of Missouri," which, Thackery said, were made "under the protection of the official immunity granted to him by virtue of the fact that he made those statements on the floor of the Senate where he could not be held legally accountable for them." "The only conspiracy to which the Post has been a party is a conspiracy to arrive at the truth openly and publicly." Thackrey declared. "Senator Barkley and his colleagues, including Senators Clark. Wheeler and Nye, have chosen to render a verdict without letting the Senate, hear the case," he said. Mrs. Dorothy S.

Backer, president and publisher of the Post. said her views were expressed in Mr. Thackrey's statement. Bar Army Draft Of Skilled Labor Continued From Page 1 Government, it will be unnecessary to put into effect legal controls which will inevitably limit the freedom of action of workers and employers alike." McNutt, however, said last night at New York that "compulsion may be necessary from time to time" for mobilization of the nation's human power behind the war effort. Makes Plea to Publishers The program which he announced today also included a request "that the publishers of this nation refrain from accepting advertisements which are designed to steal workers from employers engaged in essential war production." "In those cases." McNutt added, "where labor unions have an agreement with an employer to furnish workers, I urge that they observe the same priorities in furnishing workers that the United States Employment Service is requested to observe." McNutt emphasized that the program "cannot be entirely successful unless the people of this nation cooperate fully with their Government" and that it also is designed to aid "in focussing and co-ordinating the various activities of Government agencies." Mayor Blasts Landis in Reply Continued From Page 1 Radiator and Manufacturing Company at a conference in the capital.

"The McCord Radiator Company left that conference believing the type of suspension proposed had the approval of the city officials." Landis said. "Manufacture of those helmets was immediately begun. Shortly thereafter officials of New York City raised questions as to the suspensions device being installed. Finally, on April 25, Albert Pleydell, Commissioner of the Department of Purchases. notified the McCord company that they were canceling the contract on the ground that in their opinion the suspensions did not meet the specifications "The Office of Civilian Defense has no interest in the difficulties between the McCord company and the City of New York, but it is these difficulties and not the action of either the OCD or any other Federal department that are responsible for those helmets sitting in Akron rather than New York."
