MILITARY WORK
Has Not Interfered with
R e G u + Collegiate
Duties at Harvard

Cambridge. Mass. Dec. 1.-THE fact
that the immense amount Of military
work engaging the attention of Har-
ward University students has not in
terfered with the regular collegiate
work is emphasized by President A.
Lawrence Lowell in his Forthcoming
annual report, portion of which was
made public tonight.
In commenting on war activities of
the university the report continues:
The needs Of country lighting a
modern war and the special knowl-
edge on which it calls, extend into
fields of which one would not have
dreamed. A couple of examples have
been brought home 10 US. The Bussey
Institution is the headquarters OF the
Botanical Raw Products committee,
organized under the Council for Ma
uonal Defense. IT serves as clearing
house where manufacturers needing
raw products of this kind may obtain
information about them and il collects
and distributes agricultural and COM
mercial data concerning all plants of
economic value. At the opposite end
OF the scientific spectrum the psyche
logical laboratory is engaged in devils
ing and standardizing tests that will
enable the government to select from
group OF volunteers for aviation
those most likely to be successful and
eliminate those i'll fitted for the ser
vice. The laboratory is also trying ex-
periments in determining the natural
capacity of sailors to discriminate
among the many sounds transmitted by
under water telephones.
The number OF members of the in
structing stan who have been doing
war work Of some kind in addition
to their ordinary duties is 127. The
numbers Of those who have been given

will be held up as the result OF an IN
dictment in federal court here today OF
four ms Il connected with hat manuIac-
turing firms TO which the contracts had
been sub-let, and two inspectors OF the
quarterrna sters corps. The indictments
are in connection with alleged frauds
amounting to a half million dollars.
United States District Attorney FRANK
NJ. Roosa stated that Eisner. who pro-
Vided bonds for carrying out the con-
tracts while not being responsible for
the alleged frauds on the part Of The
contractors. nevertheless might be civ
ills liable to the government.
Those indicted are William 8. Thorn.
president Of the hat manufacturing
firm Of Thorn * Bayley of this city, and
a director OF the PeekskiN Hat Manu-
featuring Go. of Peekskill. y. Y; John
j. SIatterE. second vice president Of

$500 and Edward Slattery on bail Of
$1,000. Gibson and Duffy have not been

Under the original specifications, Mr..
Roose said, the hats were designed 10
wear at least a year. but because Of
the fact that blown fur" was substi-
. tuted for the hare and muskrat fur
called for in the contracts they would
wear only from three to six months.
! The contract prices range from s1.29
to $40 hat and thus far the govern
ment has paid about 900 in the
! contre cts let through Eisner. Eisner's
commissions amounted only to 4 per
| cent while the government charges
that the contractors through the sub
stitution Of under grade materials.
made profit Of from 30 TO rs per cent.
