as an emergency measure are ex-

legislative calendar which congress
hopes to speedily clean up with a
view to recessing early next month
for three weeks or more while the
new revenue bill is being framed by

submission of a woman suffrage
amendment to the federal constitu-

jority necessary for adoption of the

By rushing through the money

cleaning up numerous other press

both houses of congress hope that a
recess of about three weeks can be
arranged about July 10.

Rear Admiraps Statement Says Re-

Scrutinized.
MCGOWAN HEARD FROM

Washington, June 23.-In pur-
chasing supplies and materials, the
navy department has used every en-
deavor to eliminate brokers and
commission agents, Rear Admiral
MCGOWAN, paymaster general of the
navy, said tonight in a statement in
connection with the department of
justice, investigation into the activi-
ty of commission agents who have
secured war contracts for manufac-
turers., The departments efforts
have been so successful, Admiral
MCGOWAN said, that Of the $4,000
forms on the bidders list Of the
navy's bureau of supplies and ac-
counts, only a few do not present
their bids directly.
Those few, the admiral added,
seem to prefer to deal through
commission agents.
Admiral MCGOWAN denied publish
ed reports that since the volume of
contracts has grown it has been
more difficult for naval intelligence
officers to investigate the standing
and reputation of all persons seek
ing war orders.
"The fact is" said the admirals
statement, ."the response igility of
contractors was, never, so thoroughly
investigated and they were never
held to a stricter accountability than
they have been since this country
entered the war. The safeguards
against pro ofteering have not been
relaxed but strengthened"
