Reservist Tells of Buying
Way Out of Army for $100
Detroit (U.R) An Air Forcel
Reserve officer said Friday he
paid $100 to avoid being recalled
to active duty "because of worry
over my family."
"I don't know whether you
could call it a bribe or not," said
Gordon Cook, 28, a B-17 naviga
tor in World War II. "I think
they would have disqualified me
anyway on physical grounds."
Indictments Announced
Cook, a lieutenant, is one of
three reserve officers whose in-,
dictment, along with that of the
DruAanf hv nllpcnrllv hrihpH to
nounced Thursday by a federal
grand jury at Danville, 111.
FOLKS WE VE WORKED FOR
SAY THAT WE
KNOW OUR BUSINESS
THOROUGHLY
The sergeant is MSgt. Luther
R. Bradley, Staunton, 111., but
Cook said he didn't know wheth
er it was Bradley who accepted
his $100.
"My two-year-old son, Davis,
was suffering from an asthmatic
condition and needed constant
care," Cook said. "My wife had
just given birth to a second son.
I wanted desperately to get
home to them."
"In wartime I'd gladly give my
life but in peacetime my family
comes before anything else."
He said he was called up for
his physical examination at Scott
Air Force Base, 111., in July,
1951, and flunked all five parts
of it.
"The reviewing board asked If
I wanted active duty and I said
no, because of my family," Cook
said. "They said they'd let me
go. Then came three days of re
checks. And they told me I might
have to stay another two weeks
for further tests. I thought I was
getting the run-around."
Cook said he kept badgering
"anybody who would listen to
me" until he was approached by
an enlisted man who said, "I
hate to see you get called back.
I think we can fix you up. Of
course,, there will be a fee."
Cook said he wired home for
the money and gave it to the
man. He left the base after four
days and later was notified he
was physically disqualified for
active duty.
Indicted along with Cook and
Bradley were Joseph A. Crowley
of Indianapolis and Edward L,
Kanick of Chicago. A Staunton,

Senate Expected
To 60 Slow On
Fair Trade Bill
Washington (U.R) Chair
man Edwin C. Johnson, of the
Senate Commerce Committee
predicted Friday that the Sen
ate will go slow in acting on
the House-approved "fair trade"
bill.
The Colorado Democrat said
he was "surprised" that such a
"controversial" measure breezed
through the House with so little
opposition.
More Consideration Seen
"I'm sure the Senate will want
to give It most careful consider
ation," he told a reporter.
The House passed the bill
Thursday by a standing vote
of 196 to 10. It would overturn
a Supreme Court ruling handed
down last year, and restore. the
effectiveness of "fair trade" laws
In 45 states.
Agreements Provided
The laws provide for manu
facturers of brand-name pro
ducts to enter Into price-fixing
agreements with one or more
retailers in each state. The mini
mum retail price thus fixed be
comes legally .binding on all
other dealers in that state,
whether they sign the agree
ment or not.
ReprEmanuel Celler, D-N. Y.,
who led the badly out-numbered
House forces opposing the bill,
said he is "certain" that Presi-'
dent Truman will, veto it If it
gets through the Senate.
