an underground factory which
for aed them on a wholesale scale.
Gained Germans
Miss Bertillon told of one mail
trip she made personally on which
.the forgot her forged papers. To
prevent detection by the gestapo,
she joined a group of German
-oldiers on the train and escaped
inspection at the stations by pre
tending to be looking for a bicycle
at every stop.
One of her agents, a man of
50, was so innocent appearing that
he got the gestapo to take him on
a mail delivery to Toulon when the
allies bombed out ali transporta
tion at Marsaiite Another was a
German army headquarters chauf

defense offices, i;e said.
On the more humorous side.
Miss Bertilloii told how all book
stores in France were required
by the Germans to display portraits
of Hitler and Muolini. The book
stores complied, she said, but be
tween the twr portraits placed
Victor Hugo's book '"Les Miser
ables." The Germans, she said,
could never understand why the
volume was so popular.

United States squarely against
communist expansion anywhere in
the world was laid before the
United States Chamber of Com
merce tonight by Representative
Karl E. Mundt (R-SJX).
The new "American doctrine of
1948," Mundt told a dinner ses

meeting, should state clearly that
this country win resist "the ag
gressive acts of communism as in
imical to our national interest.
Mundt, a member of The house

nation should back up the doctrine
by curtailing shipments of war

steps.

Navy Reported
Overcharged
For Arabia Oil
WASHINGTON, April 28.-VP)-Uncle
Sam was overcharged $38,
000,000 for Arabian' oil, a senate
committee said today, but from
two sides came denials and counter-claims
that millions were
saved instead.
Both the navy, which bought the
oil, and the Arabian American Oil
company, which sold it, defended
the purchase in separate state
ments. On the senate floor, Senator
Langer (R-ND) called attention to
the committee report and termed
those responsible for the alleged
overcharge "traitors" who ought
to "surrender their citizenship or
have it taken away.
Without naming names, Langer
told the senate:
"The men who put over that oil
deal called upon the very blood of
American boys to protect their in
terests." Asks Men Jailed
The North Dakota republican
added that those to blame should
be put in jail.
The report saying the navy was
overcharged between $30,000,000
and $38,000,000 was filed by the
senate war investigating commit
tee as its final document.
The oil study said the prices
cited as excessive were charged
the navy by the Arabian American
Oil company over a period of five
and a half years after the United
States poured $99,500,000 worth of
wartime lend-lease into Saudi Ar
abia to protect American interests
there.
Known as Aramco
The company, known as Aram
co, denied it had overcharged. It
contended the government saved
more than $26,500,000 by buying
from Aramco and added: "The
benefits to the nation's economy
from Aramco's enterprise have
only just begun."
The firm also disputed the lend
lease figure as excessive.
Navy Secretary Sullivan tonight
defended the navy's Arabian oil
purchases as being $33,000,000- un
der Gulf Coast and Aruba prices.
Roble Reminds
Housewives of
Fire Danger
Spring cleaning time is fire pre
vention time. Fire Chief W. P.
Roble reminded Salem housewives
Wednesday.
The annual crusade against win
ter's dust and dirt, Roble warned,
should also include removal of the
newspapers, rubbish and litter re
eponafble for more than 300,000
annual household fires over he
nation.
"Now is the time for every
housewife to go through her home
from attic to basement seeking out
forgotten accumulations of rags,
magazines, newspapers and knick
knacks, Roble said.
With warm weather at hand,
Roble said, furnaces soon will be
shut off and small coal or wood
stoves used for heating water dur
ing the summer. The chief advis
ed homemakers that stovepipes
and chimney flues connected with
the heaters should be checked to
prevent sparks from flying into
the cellar or up the chimney to
the roof where many fires origin
ate. 18
