IN WAR COPPER SALES
Historian Says War Industries
Board Had Paid $6s, 900 Out
Own Pocket at One Time.

Senator Kenyon. republican Iowa.
presented in the Senate yesterday a
letter from B. NJ. Baruch. former
chairman of the War Industries Board,
asking for congressional investiga-
tion of charges that he had profited
in sales of copper to the government
during the war. The letter included a
statement of use made of the l50,-
0G0-fund allotted to the economic Sec
ton of the peace conference. which
was under Mr.. Baruch's charge.
Denouncing the charges Of profits
in copper as "heartless. cruel lies"
Mr.. Baruch states that when he took
war service with the government in
1917 he disposed of every intere. :
which possibly might have been at
fected by his activities and that since
that time he had mot engaged in .
single gainful pursuit"
In connection with Mr.. Baruch's
denial of profiting by his services
with the government during the war
Grovesnor B. Clarkson. who is writ
Ing a history OF the War Industries
Board, said today there are many in
stances of sacrifices on the part OF
Mr.. Baruch which have never been
cited as arguments in his defense.
One instance told by Mr.. Clarkson Is
that the entire expense of the foreign
tries Board was borne by Mr.. Baruch
who paid $4,000 out of his, own
pocket. To his knowledge. Mr.. Clark
8, says. Mr.. Baruch has never sought
re ,ursement from the governme nj
for ,.lis expense.
Another sacrifice on Mr.. Baruch's
part. cited by Mr.. Clarkson. is that
Mr.. Baruch paid 200 out Of his own
pocket for the transportation hack
home of woman employees in the War
Industries Board who were left in
Washington after the signing Of the

Classification Digest.
Today's hearing took on a high
technical turn when A. T. kcehier-
district secretary of the American
Association of Engineers. presented
a classification digest and recon-
meudations on behalf of the associ-
alton. Mr. Koehlers report analyzed
the various classification bills pending
in Congress, probably more exhaus-
lively than has any brief that has
conclusions broadly were that it is
impossible to enact legislation which
will specifically set forth each posi-
ton. He said classification legisla-
ton should be based on Thomas JET
ferson's idea of the Constitution. stip-
uIating not what is to be done, but
rather what is not to be done. He
thought there should be leeway for
departmental heads to exercise dis
cretion in allocating employees SO that
dinerentials in qualifications for ser
vice might be handled on merit
basis.
Criticized by LehIbach.
Representative Lehlbach question
ed the wisdom of such a policy. stat
ing that it would make possible the
use of political pulls which have
brought about the inequalities in
government service today. He said
that to base a classification measure
on the idea that employees who have
been longest in the service should
not be allocated to a group on the
minimum wage basis the same as
other employees who have been in the
service for lesser periods would
amount to making the bill retroactive
and that it's enactment in such form
would be practically prohibitive.
