VAN LENNEP, Great Barrington, Mass, WASHINGTON, June 29. To the Raltor of The Evening World: Task you to conspicuously correct an untruth contained in The Evening World -of Tuesday, June 27, 1922, wherein it is falsely stated that I have placed my wife on the House clerk payroll.- The statement is an abso- lute falsehood, without any basis of fact whatever. I have never had my wife nor any member of my family ‘on the House payroll, nor would I do. so. Your statement to the contrary Is ~ an untruth made out of whole cicth. 1 ask you not only to print this de- nial, but I shall hope and expect that you yourself will conspicuously cor- rect through your own Investigation this baseless lie. It is wicked enough to print falsehoods about public off- cials, but to involve In such Iles the name of a wife ts a resort to the very depths of degraded indecency. Permit me again to express the hope and expectation that you, through your own investigation, will conspicuously correct the error. Also. I trust that you will give equal pub- Nelty to this specific denial by me of a practice of which f have never been guilty, elther directly or Indirectly. ‘The fact is that I not only have never been guilty of the practice to which you refer, but it is also true that In order to keep up with the Congres- sional work I have paid money out of my own pocket for additional clerk hire. BEN L. FAIRCHILD. (Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, July 3.—Invest! gation of Representative Fairchild's complaint shows that his statement that his wife Is not and has not been carried on the Government rolls ts correct. ‘The facts in the case and the circumstances which led to this error are as follows: ‘ Miss Ella G. Parsons of Yonkers was Representative Fairchild’s secre- tary up to a month or two before their. marriage on April 20 last. _ The of- ficial Blue Book containing names of all Government employees was fresh from the printing press at the time the article appeared and it contained the name of Miss Parsons as clerk to the Congressman. A rechecking of the case shows that Miss Parsons resigned as secretary to Mr. Fairchild before their marriage and has not since been on the Govern- ment rolls. The 24th District member ts to be congratulated for his scrupulous attl- tude in this ¢espect, which is in sharp contrast-to many other members. The ‘orld makes this retraction yiilsrest of eruth and eocuracy, en DISCLAIMS NEPOTISM G1 aenmeetonon Always Was Resigned. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Worl WASHINGTON, June 28. I respectfully request correction in regard to secretary and clerk em- ployed by me in Washington. Cierk Mary E. Laughlin, who you say has never been seen in Washington, was on the job every day till she resigned from ill health July 31, 1921. New appointee and man secretary, both paid full salary in addition to part of my salary, have been contin- uously on the job every day in my Washington office, and, in addition, I employ @ man secretary in my New York office, paid entirely from my salary.
