No. 273. By PAI L MALI.OV Copyright, 1934. By Paul Mai Ion $ Initiative WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. Air. Roose Telt put over another fast one on the Inside in this current war department scandal talk. The first hint that some of the army contracts were not on the level came at a recent meeting of the house ap propriations sub-commit tee. Certain army officials whispered their suspi cions to committee members. At the same time a republican news paper got a tip on the situation. It spent a week digging up the facts. Bu: Just as they were ready to publish the story Mr. Roosevelt and the war de V partment announced it. Previously house democrats and nome war officials slipped up to the White House and whispered In M Roosevelt's ear. That enabled him to take the Ini tiative Instead of having a republi can source pet credit for It. Talk That makes a bigger difference thaa , you suspect. It has been followed up by war departmentwhlspers that the old republican administration Is re sponsible for the situation. These whispers come from demo cratic officials and may be discount ed for that reason at the present time. But if half of them are true, the biggest story Is yet to come. Do not bank on that. Some of the Inside stories indicate much of the evidence Is conclusive. For instance some army officers say that a contractor staged poker par ' tics for some of their colleagues, that the stakes were heavy and that the offfcers always won. Cars More indicative of possible grafting methods Is the experience of a certain army captain. This captain says he was driving to work a year or so ago. His automobile was smashed by a larger car occuphd by a negro chauffeur. The chaufreur satd the car was owned by a certain contractor doing business with the war department, whose name meaut nothing to the captain because he was not connected with the contract end of the war department business. Later that day the captain was call ed on the telephone by a war depart meat superior who turned his end of the telephone lino over to the con tractor, owner of the larger car. " The contractor laughingly asked if the captain's car was badly damaged. The captain replied that it was and he intended to get damages. The contractor laughed again and said, "don't worry abouttt. Howwouid you like a new car?" The captain replied he only wanted damages. The contractor told him to do whatever he chose and send him the bill. , The repairs cost less than the cap tain thought they would so he de cided to pay them himself. Conclusions There can be no question about the acccuroy of this story, because the accident was reported both to an in surance company and the police by the captain. But It Is only circum stantial evidence. Undoubtedly, most of the firms do ing contract business with the war de- ' partment are reputable. They did not need to stoop tr graft to get the busi ness. Also the army has an enviable repu tation of its own in such matters. Another thing that is only about 150 trucks have already been pur chased unler the new ten million dol lar allotment for motorization. B!ds have been asked on about 2.000 moie. Most of the 150 were bought from reputable companies, not even sus pected of gmft. So It seems that one contractor may bear the brunt of the attack, and that his past rather than his present activities will be the basis. Scoop The Joke is on Senator Fletcher.

" jCouUnuea oa Pas Six TO PUT MILLIONS L Shorter Industrial Hours Under NRA Codes, and Absorption of CWA Army in PWA Projects Is Urged WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. AP) Orders lending new lnvlgoratlon to the drive for Increased employment went fbrward today from two key of fices "in the government's recovery or ganization. In an effort to add at least 2,500,- 000 men to the payrolls of industries operating under codes, Hugh 5. John son, recovery administrator, called a' meeting of all code authorities for March 5, with the object of a fur ther reduction in present hours of labor. At the same time. Secretary Ickcs gave out instructions that the public works administration should concen trate upon getting construction actu ally under way on projects for' which funds have been allotted. In an effort to absorb the 3.000,000 employes of the civil works administration by May 1 and put additional unemployed to work as well. Available funds have been allotted. Ickes said; many additional applica tions are on file, and state engineers were told to Inform states and mu nlclpalltiesothat might be considering applications for loans that no further requests can be considered. An estimated total of 12,000,000 or more workers is now employed by in dustries operating under NRA codes, Their hours of labor are estimated at an average of a little more than 40 a week. Johnson wants this reduced at least to 32. On this basis of dis tribution more than 2,500,000 could be put back to work. If the present upward movement in industry continues, NRA authorities are looking forward to a considerable absorption of the unemployed during the next few months quite aside from the Influence of a reduction in hours for those already at work. With hours cut down, they figure that an expansion of business would employ a proportionately greater (Continued on Page Six) -- IN IVIDIVANI CASE LOS ANGELES. Feb. 10.

Offers Surrender WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. ( AP) The government tonight was mull ing over the idea of matching its wholesale cancellation of. airmail contracts with some similar action on the ocean mail contracts. Even while It was perfecting the organization of an army-mall fly ing unit to tide over until new air contract could, be let, administra tion and congressional leaders were quietly checking over the reports of the long inqxiiry Into ocean mall subsidies. OfflciHls were disinclined openly to discuss the merchant marine phase of the mall subsidy, but In dicated definite attention was being given it. ' The senate committee which re cently reported Information on which the airmail contract cancel latlons were based" has compiled a huge mass of information from months of Investigation on ocean mall. Chairman Black of the committee recently said "The record discloses that the huge subsidies paid by the government to build up a merchant marine have been diverted from the channel and have "been largely spent in high salaries, extravagant ex pense accounts, highly paid lobbyists and huge dividends." Information following the general nature of this comment has been made available to the administra tion. The problems which might arise from any general cancellation of ocean mall contracts, it was. pointed out, however, would be somewhat more difficult than those In the air mall contract cancellation. In the latter Instance, the postof flce department had completed with in 24 hours of the cancellation a complete skeleton plan for the army to fly the mail.

NATIONAL LIARS CLUB ORGANIZED T TELLSFRUITMEN Marketing Conditions and Spray Needs Discussed at Saturday Meet New Directors Are Named "The Bosc pear Is definitely on the way out. We made more head way this year than all the other years put together In working out marketing conditions and control of tho Bosc and the foundation which has been-laid for the future, Is noth ing short of remarkable." This was the word brought to members of the Jackson County Fruitgrowers League Inc., by Prof. Henry Hart man of Oregon State college, w,h addressed the league at Ita annual meeting held Saturday afternoon at the Jackon county court house. Professor Hart man, who recently returned from the eastern markets, declared that for the first time, or derly distribution of the winter pear had been achieved, that the control plan had been extended to other markets, and that as far as New York and Chicago were concerned the back of competition had been broken In the matter of the Imma ture pear. Much opposition had been overcome, according to the speaker, who stated he felt sure the trade was now "lined up" and would re ceive the partially ripened fruit. The encouraging word followed Pro fessor Hartman's explanation of methods of fruit ripening In th cars, methods which had resulted from experiments carried on since 102ft by the speaker and Prof. F, C. Relmer of the Southern Oregon experiment station. Regarding the future program of the Bosc, the speaker said hi con sidered It Imperative that the high standard established this season should be maintained, with no op portunity given to ship "Junk" or Inferior fruit. Reminding the grow ers that this valley could not hope to compete with numbers, he de clared that their only hope was In the high quality article and super ior pack. "Time of sale should be early In Vie season with the average time during the first week In October, and the season must end with the Christmas holidays," he stated, add ing that to work out a sales con trol program, fruit should be near to the markets, and that the con trol plan must be continued and the fruit reach the public in rig.ht condition that present gains may be consolidated. That the cargo of the Atenas, car rying 80.000 boxes of pears arrived in New York In fine condition, was considered a record, growers were then told. The Atenas cargo was considered a great undertaking, a great deal had been Involved and much had been learned from the experience, averred the speaker. "The wilder pear Is a commodity w.hlch has not been exploited to tht extent which It deserves. There are many markets that offer a field, and best of all, I do not believe i great amount of money will be necessary to gain their interest," he stated, In closing. Referring to Milwaukee which this year took 30 cars, Pro fessor Hartman said he firmly be lieved a sizable extension would soon take place If proper means were em ployed for that purpose, among which was a compelling advertising program. Regarding the handling of the Bosc control plan from the Medford end. Jack Spalding of the fall pear commodity committee spoke as fol lows: "If we were dealing with non perishable commodity and If we could predetermine weather condi tions In the east, our Job would be extremely stmpte. But, unfortunate ly this u not the case. Your com mittee first asked all shippers to submit estimates and later the exact paokout of Bosc.
