Addressing Chairman Frear and referring to a statement telegraphed by Frear and Magee to the secretary of war while they were on the Pacific coast, Cowdln exclaimed. "I don't believe you meant the statement accusing the Spruce Production officials . of incompetency, but if you did it was one of the rot- tenest statements ever made by a pub lic official." On Magee's motion this was stricken from the record and Frear curtly dis missed the witness. Among significant testimony by DiSque was a statement concerning Canadian spruce production compared with the American effort. He explained the Can adian specifications, which permitted shipments of material containing 50 per oent actual airplane stock with no re quirement for wing beam stock, whereas 16 36 23 It 17 18 80 19 15 28 14 21 25 12 14 10 24 16 13 in 21 15 29 25 12 11 ' 6 12 1 !2 15 to 19 16 IS 11 26 28 82 80 IS 23 33 21 17 9 81 17 12 21 26 26 22 14 18 36 28 28 79 36 2? 1i 17 18 IS 6 16 12 32 12 11 6 5 11 12 20 25 23 25 6 Auction stopped! the day after the ar mistice, said Disque, but later approved the recommendation of Colonel Stearns to complete 14 miles of track, believing then and now that not to do so would be like building a house with the roof left off. Until two weeks ago he did not know what lands the Milwaukee railroad owned in the Northwest, -Jout he has since obtained a map and finds that fully 80 per cent are inaccessible to the spruce railroad built as an extension of the, Milwaukee system. Neither the Warren Spruce company nor the t Grant Smith-Porter company received' any profit frontv the soldier labor on the cost-plus contracts, he said. Referring to criticisms by the Puget sound loggers, Disque gave figures to prove that their plans would have cost the government $1,000,000 more than it did to produce the 104,000,000 feet of spruce actually turned out under the cost-plus contracts, assuming equal ef ficiency in operations. Disque read a letter from C. A. Blaney, chairman of the Michigan state board of control, denouncing the charges against the prison management at the time Disque was warden as "malicious lies." DISQUE'S SIDE IGNORED Out of 282 corporations with which the spruce corporation had dealings, said Disque, the ccri.ny.ttee ha? had only three persons before it as wiuiessea and only four others he has asked to have called. Frear responded that the com fnittee could not hear everybody. "I'm going to stay with this thing," said Dtsque as a parting shot. Other witnesses were Colonel George Breece, 'who had immediate charge of the cost-plus contract operations, and John Cheever Cowdin. former assistant liason officer to Major Fred'W. Lead better in Washington. Cowdin contra dicted various statements by -Charles R. Sligh, Leadbetter's predecessor, con cerning the production records and the quality of airplane stock. He also de nied the statement by C. E. Dant, Port land exporter, alleging that a large pro portion of the material snipped worthless. Cowdin said the was French lieutenant quoted by Dant told: him otherwise Cowdin said lie was instrumental In bringing Disque to the attention of of ficers of the American International corporation, who later secured Disque to manage one of their large subsidi aries. The committee will meet again Friday and expects to close the hearings with two or three more sittings. I. W. W., In which four former soldiers were killed.

They want action and want it quick, ' Ole Hanson, former mayor of Seattle, declared here in discussing the Cen tralia. Wash., Armistice day clash with 04 j American shipments had to be one third suiiaoie ior wing Deams. "We could have shipped three Mmes as much spruce if we had been working under Canadian specifications," said Disque. Disque announced he had affidavits concerning statements recently alleged to have been made by Pendleton, who was in charge of Canadian production, to the effect that if "we can buet this proposition." referring to spruce pro duction property, "when the next ad ministration comes in, we can get as interest in it." Disque told Frear that the effect of the telegram sent by the majority of the committee to Secretary Baker con 'cernlng the railroad properties was to eliminate bidders. He knew of one offer which was being prepared of three and one half million dollars for Clallam county property. It was never sub mitted because of the committee's ac tion, said Disque. STATEMENTS HELD WttD "I think you left here with a lot of wild statements," Disque told the com mittee, referring to the beginning of its: investigation. "You heard a lot of soreheads and let them fill you with a lot of bunk, and I don't wonder that you were preju diced." Frear retorted that Disque started in with wrong impressions about the com mittee giving interviews and causing strained relations. "You have been so used to directing things in the army that it seemed' you wanted to direct this committee," said the' chairman. Disque. responding to questions by Congressman Lea, Democratic member of the sub-committee, entered denials of the various statements heard by the committee since Disque testified in Port land. He said he never was "called on the carpet" to Washington, but came al ways at his own volition. He sought no soft Job, he declared. Early 1n the war Colonel Roosevelt invited him to join the division of volunteers Roosevelt wanted to raise, and he would have been regimental, or probably brigade commander had the plan gone through.
