(JP The State Agriculture department's two-day hearing about the Sher wood bulb gardens endei' Tuesday night, and the department'a order is expected in lew weeKa. The department charged the gardens one of the Northwest's biggest bulb sellers with iraua. deception and misrepresentation. and ordered tne hearing nut. Marcus, owner of the gardens, could defend himself. The depart ment wanta to refuse to renew his nursery license. Marcus testified that when the department ordered the hearing, his business shrank ao much that it caused him serious financial difficulties. But on cross-examination, he admitted he had been in financial deep water before the hearing was ordered. Marcus said he had conferred with a referee in bankruptcy, but he denied he had been under pres sure irom his creditors. He said he has proposed that a group of Portland businessmen pick a committee oi live persons, including creditors, to run the business for him, and that he would confine his activities to pro moting the business. Marcus said that at the peak of last season, he hired 220 per sons, but that now he haa only 21 employes. Marcus said his business grew from a $60,000 annuel volume in 1946 to $1,000,000 last season. He vigorously denied the state's charges that he has been selling bulbs which were dead or dis eased, and that he sells products interior to those wnicn are ad vertised. Marcus said his complaints amounted to only i ot 1 per cent of his orders, which he considers a good record. He declared that when the de partment ordered the hearing, his credit was damaged greatly.

Inquiry WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. ) A House armed service subcom mittee voted Monday to ask army Secretary Gordon Gray for in formation on any five percenters who may have been connected with the military uniform busi ness. Rep. Hebert (D.-La.) told re porters Gray will be heard today behind closed dorrs. Stanley J. Cummlngs, execu tive secretary of the National As sociation of Uniform Manufac turers. Inc., was also due to tes tify. Hebert aaid the subcommit tee has been unable to get in touch with him. Cummlngs is on a vacation, Hebert said, and not expected back at his Brooklyn, N. Y., home un til Aug. 15. The subcommittee will decide after talking to Gray whether it then wants to ques tion Cummlngs. Hebert said Cummlngs told him personally three weeks ago of having been approached by James V. Hunt, a former army quartermaster colonel, in connec tion with a pending army order relating to the manufacture of officers' uniforms. Hebert said he was told that Hunt offered for $25,000 to try to get Mai. lien. Herman Feld- man, former quartermaster gen eral, to rescind an order relating to army plans for manufacturing uniforms. Cummlngs turned the deal down because his association could not afford the fee, Hebert said.

Sentiment la piling up In the U. S. Senate to give Nationalist China some more military assistance. . This lends Interest to an accounting for the last $123,000,000 worth of military assistance given to Chiang Kai-shek's government in June. 1948, with which to fight the Commies. ' The Chinese embassy In Wash- 1 - ington reports that about $50, 000,000 of this sum went to buy arms and ammunition. The em bassy further reports that all but l7.uuu.uuu worth of these goods have been delivered or are now en route to China. Some of the undelivered goods, like truck spare parts, radio and aienal corns equipment which had to be made up special, won't be deliv- erea tor another six montha. Ot the total amount. $87,500,000 was allocated to buy ground force supplies, $28,000,000 aviation sup plica and $9,500,000 naval aup plies. As to how much good these sup plies did, there Is some difference of opinion. There have been some reports of U. S. supplies particu larly aviation gasoline finding their way Into the black market or being used by troops that in the end went over to the commu nist side, taking their equipment with them. The two communist divisions that captured Nanking have now been identified as former National dlvistona turned commie. How Monty Wat Sptnt The law authorizing the last $125,000,000 worth of military as sistance at Naturalist China was passed in April, 1948. The appro priation was made on June 28, just a little over a year ago. There was no provision In the law for the U. S. armed services to help procure the materials wanted bv the Chinese. President Truman ordered them to do it anvway. Here's what happened, accord ing to trustworthy sources here: About a third of the naval al location went for fuel. The other two-thirds went for spare parts for the 131 surplus vessels and 50 landing craft previously given to the Chinese government without charge. Four destroyer escorts were given to the Chinese. The U. S. air force bought $7, 750,000 worth of aviation equip ment for the Chinese account Four million dollars worth has been shipped. The rest la on or der.

S. army la a tangled tale. One source claims that at the outset, the Chinese lost a month In comparing army prices with open market prices. By Aug. 31 the U. S. army had determined that it could supply all require ments for JO-callber rifles, car bines and small arms ammunition from current (not surplus) U. S. stocks. But the Chinese delayed placing any orders for another month. Aid Provta Uttlsaa In September the army re ported it could supply signal, en gineer and medical equipment wanted by the Chinese, In that same month the U, S. treasury, at Chinese government request, transferred $25,000,000 to the army for purchase of metals and powder base materials for Chi nese arsenals. On Oct. 4 the Chinese asked the treasury to transfer to the army another $37,000,000. Goods began to move at last. The first boat was unloaded at Shanghai and Tslngtao late in November, as ordered. On Dec. 6, however, the Chinese notified the U. S. government that all fu ture shipments should be made to the port of Kcelung, on the island of Formosa.
