Gen. Elliott Roose- velt today it is prohibited at this time by law from making public the Treasury study of his financial affairs. The committee said it will decide when the record is complete whether to publish the whole record in a formal report to the House. Chairman Doughton (D.-N. C.) telegraphed the committee’s state- ment to Roosevelt at Beverley Hills, Calif. Roosevelt, who recently went on the Army inactive list, by his own request, wired the committee yester- day requesting that the full report ,of the study of his business affairs ! be made public immediately, saying that “continued speculation and er- roneous stories can only further dis- tort the facts.” -eo 'HEDGES SAYS US NOW IS IN BETTER SERVICE POSITION Although the U.
