 GRAFT CHARGES ARE ABSURD

Philadelphia, Nov 10.-J. N. Barde, secretarytreasurer of the Barde Steel Produces Corporation, mentioned in the graft charges, of A. M. Fisher and J. r. Richardson in their report on United States Shipping Board operations as trying to purchase under blanket con- tract all supplies and stores of the Elner- gency Fleet Corporation, today disclaim- ed any knowledge of irregularities in his concerns dealings with the shipping board.
 Mir. Barde who came here to inspect the Hig Island shipyard, said that his company few days ago submitted bid of $10,000,000 for the big plant and that he expected to leave within q day or two for Washington to discuss the bid with Admiral Benson. With the bid, Mir. Barde said he enclosed a certified check for $1,o00,000. Two other bids made by his concern one for S4,000,000 and an- other for S6,000,000 were rejected. Should his company get the plant he said, it probably would scrap part of it and put the trackage in such shape that teh yard could be offered for sale as an ocean terminal. we wouldn't operate Hog Island," he added, "as we are only brokers"
 Referring to the graft report, Mir Barde said: Tn all my dealings with the shipping board I know of nothing that is irregular. As {. matter of fact, all my negotiations were carried on direct with Admiral Benson and Judge Payne who headed the board before the adni ral. It was because I feared something out of the ordinary would develop tha l always refused to do business witt anyone but the highest officials"
 A blanket repudiation of the charges was made tonight by Commander J. L Ackers, for more than a year directo
 and vice president of the Emergenc, Fleet Corporation.
 These wholesale charges of graft an,
 maladministration are absurd" Comrnan der Ackers asserted. If conditions ha, been anything like as bad as they ar l painted, I would have known of f r1v | cry precaution was taken to n l against the sale of material at un,iul | low rates and there were many offer turned down as too low"
