BOrglum Tells President
Baker Hindered Probe
Bp Assoeiaied Press


Washington, May 13.-In an open
letter to President Wilson published
to-day, Gutzon Borglum, the sculp-
tor, reiterated his charges of mis-
conduct in the government aircraft
production organization, denied that
he had betrayed the Presidents s
friendship and demanded an open
and full investigation by the Senate
Military Committee of the entire
aircraft program.
His own investigation, he said,
had been hindered by the War De-
partment under Secretary Baker.
Mr.. Borglum, who has been the
chief critic of airplane production
officials denounced as a deliberate
frameup the presentation to the SEN
ate Friday of documents designed
TO show that the sculptor had at
tempted to capitalize his friendship
with the President by secretly or
ganizing a company to build air
planes.

From the best information that

continuous counter offensive with
the hope of ending the war in 1918.

second floor of the building, the rob-

If we, who are at home, enjoying the

SUGAR Al Al-+NTA

ATLANTA Ca, Jan. 24.--An At
ltnta grocery store bought very
large quantity of sugar and advertised
to sell the same at ten cents pound
in 10-pound sacks to customers who
would come and take it home and pay
cash
The Office of the Food Administra-
ton, in charge OF Major D. r. Me-
Clatchey, sent an agent to wait on the
groceryman and inform that If he sold
ten pounds to a customer his license
would be reovked. The grocerynlan
went straight UP in the air. He ex-
planned that his sugar was sacked in
10-pound cotton bags, ready for the
trade. This made no difference Ten
pounds of sugar to a customer, con-
sidering the general scarcity of SUI
gar, was too much, the same as two
tens OF coal to family would be too
lnuch on the coal card system. The
groceryman suggested that he could
dispose of the sugar TO other dealers
who could split 1t up into small lots
saving him the trouble Of re-sack-
ing. This was not agreeable, because
1t would mean the addition of profit
by the groceryman who bought it.
Finally, the groceryman drummed up
enough trade among the hotels and
restaurants to take his entire supply
Of l0-pound bags, and the food admin
istrator consented to this arrangement
because hotels and restaurants are al
lowed to buy larger quantities Of SUI
gar than single families.
This Is an example OF the sort OF
work the food administration is doing,
rot only here but throughout the
state, to protect the public and 70
conserve the supply. Not only must
the prices be kept In bounds but the
supply must be evenly distributed, or
z..any Will suffer.
Reports are being received daily BIZ
tho food administration concerning
transactions In food supplies, and u
10 very rare that any irrogularity gets
by without being detected.
