HtSALS a KSWS. BtaauMi ' TBI'S.A, 1. I , T" GOP Says He Used Office For Gain (Continued From Page On) ing with the democrats on this point before tomorrow. A report signed by bi-partisan majority of the senate war in vestigating committee declared the evidence of its investigation "clearly indicates that Senator Bilbo improperly used his high office as United States senator for his personal gain in his deal ings with war contractors." Attorney Gets Cat Committee Chairman Kilgore . (D-W. Va.) asserted that "in view of the scope of the findings" the whole record is being laid before the attorney general, whose agents were previously disclosed to be studying the Bilbo transac tions. The little southerner, plainly anticipating that the committee report might furnish ammunition for an ouster attack, called on his colleagues in a letter to keep open minds and read all the evi dence. A voluminous response to the - report, prepared on Bilbo's be half by his attorney, Forrest B. Jackson, said: "The true evidence presented to the committee clearly indi cates that Senator Bilbo was guilty of no impropriety as a United States senator and that he did not in any instance use his high office for his personal gain in his dealings with war contractors or any other per sons." Taft predicted that if the re publicans decide to act at to morrow's opening, they will draw enough democratic votes for the majority, which he said could bar Bilbo from starting his third term. The policy committee called a morning meeting to decide its recommendation on procedure. The recommendation goes be fore the republican senate mem bership meeting later in the day for final approval. In Thft (Continued from Page One) the cost of the sale may actually amount to more than the value of the goods sold.) This business of disposal of war surpluses has been a tragedy of bungling from beginning to end. This surplus stuff would have filled people's needs at a time when they wanted and needed goods worse than ever before. Its prompt sale for im mediate use would have aided production at-a time when pro duction has been terribly needed. Instead, the bulk of it has been kept piled up to rust ' and rot What is sold will probably come pouring onto the markets LONG AFTER it is needed, just about in time to accentuate and speed up the process of deflation. nrWS halting, fiddling, bumb- ling, purposeless process of disposal of war surplus goods is a shining and splendid example of something NEVER TO DO AGAIN.
