Firm Head to Be Cues
toned This Afternoon.

eating committee, summoned Nc
Whittier and OStrom by letter. The

the senate by Monday. Adjutant
General William H. Kershner spent
two hours with the committee late
Thursday.
Senator Thurman A. GoUtSchalk,
Berne, author Of the investigating
resolution and member of the state
budget committee, may have some
thing to say if he considers the re-
port a embarrassing rather than
a thorough job Of fact finding.
The budget committee refused to
approve the Kershner request for
S350,000 annually TO carry on the
armory building program.
Today it seemed likely that this
amount will be cut to cover only
rentals on buildings already quilt
and the program halted as COM
promise move.
All armory buildings erected I'M
der the Jackson administration and
the CLOSED corporation" plan were
built by the Ostrom Realty and
Construction Company and financed
through The Peoples State Bank,
parent institution of the contrac-
tors.
President Felix M. NTcWhirter has
conferred with Lindley regarding
the financing.
