BY w. H. ATKINS,
international News Service.

The Department Of. Justice Is
ready to press for more indictments
in its war graft Investigation. It
was learned today. Attorney Gen
-eral Daugherty will urge iInpanel-
ing of special grand jury In the
District Of Columbia Immediately
to consider additional cases in
which evidence is said to be com.
plete.
Cases involving War Department
supply contracts are among those
to be made the basis for early
presentments to the court. Follow
ing indictment OF Benedict Crowell.
former Assistant Secretary Of War,
and others in connection with war
cantonment construction, it Is said
the Department of Justice next will
go more deeply into purchases Of
different kinds OF war material.
Shipping Board graft also Is
alleged by the Department OF
Justice to warrant indictments Tor
deliberate attempts to defraud the
Government out of vast sums in
the war emergency Names are
not mentioned by department of
ficials prior to full presentation Of
the facts to the new grand jury.
Graft in other cases of aircraft
constrL ction besides those already
revealed Is also to be aired in an
other group of indictments which
the Attorney General will seel
against accused individuals, some
of whom were prominently identi
fled in the direction of the coun
try's aircraft program during thu
| war.
The Department OF Justice, in ex
posture of cantonment frauds only
scratched the surface" one high
official of the department said to
day. Still greater sensations are
due, he declared. Delay in theil
exposure was attributed to the de

cases will stand the test in courts

Former high officials Of the vii
son Administration, who supervised

will be called as witnesses before

has informed friends he attributes
