A POLICY OF LENIENCY U. S. Attorney General Indicates Action After Supreme Courts Wipes Out All Pending Cases.

Washington, Feb. 6 Many ol the 7,500 federal prohibition prisoners were hopeful today that they soon would receive freedom. They found fneouragement In statement to newspapermen last night by Attorney General Cummings that "very favorable" consideration would fe given to applications for leniency from prisoners whose only jrlme was violation of the liquor law. The attorney general received reporters shortly after the supreme court had ruled all pending federal prohibition cases must be dropped in view of repeal. An increase the number of applications for pardons was expected by officials.

There has been no gain, however, since repeal became effective December 5. Applications are referred to the pardon attorney. James Finch, who studies them, drafts an opinion and presents it to the attorney general. If the attorney general believes the application should be granted, he refers the case to the President for final action. Cumminss said considerations to be weighed are the general character of the his criminal record aside from liquor offenses, and the number of prohibition convictions against him.

Asserting outstanding racketeers would not find the going easy. Cummings said the department would be lenient toward "the little fellow who more or less drifted into bootlegging." ASKS A LOBBY PROBE Secretary of War Dern Wants Rumors of Alleged Influence'- In Department Checked. Washington, Feb. 6 (ff) Secretary Dern said today he had asked the department of justice to investigate thoroughly all rumors concerning lobbyists with alleged influence in war department sales, purchases, or other activities, and lobbying on war department matters before congress. He made this statement to newspapermen as the district of Columbia grand jury began an investigation of an alleged conspiracy to defraud the government of more than $2,000,000 in connection with the purchase with public works funds of 4,000 motor trucks.

The chief witness questioned by th grand Jury was Harry H. Woodring, assistant secretary of war, who last night issued an order barring Joseph Silverman, a Washington and New York dealer in! army surpluses, from the war department. All information gathered by the war department during an investigation covering several weeks has been turned over to the Justice department. It is understood the entire matter will be taken before the grand jury for possible indictments. In a statement handed to newspapermen, Dern said: "Several times recently, 1 heard of loose talk about the power of certain lobbies in connection with war department activities.

Most of the talk seemed to emanate from a particular civilian "As this department lacks authority to make civilian investigations, I asked the attorney general to look into the matter for me. Tha information he has obtained in the hands of the district attorney. I am not at liberty to discuss the matter further." "We are jealous of the good of the war department," Dern said in explaining his statement, "and it is our desire that all this undercover talk about alleged influence be brought out into the open and the entire matter thoroughly aired." Dern refused to make any comment on the action of Woodring, In whose office army purchases are made, in barring Silverman from the war department. "You have to get any information of Mr. Silvermar.

from the department of justice," Dern said. Asked whether Silverman was the only Individual involved. Dern pointed to his statement in which Sllverman's name did not appear and emphasized that the word "lobbies" was plural. FEE WAIVERS NOT REQUIRED. Lawrence, Feb.
