SOUTH AFRICA
NAMES ENVOY
TO WASHINGTON
Direct Diplomatic Contact
Between Cape Town and
u. S. Established.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Direct
diplomatic relations through ex-
change of ministers and establish
ment of legations between the
United States and the Union of
South Africa was assured today
with American approval Of the app
pointment of Eric Louw as minister
to Washington.
Arrival of Louw, now representing
his country as commissioner to Lon
don, notably will increase the repre-
sentation of Great Britains do
minions, the Irish Free state and
Canada recently having sent min
listers here.
The direct representation will
stimulate trade, it is believed here.
South Africa now buys goods valued
at $55, 100000 year from the United
States, more than one-fouth auto
mobiles.
The United States imports dia-
monds, wool and sheepskins and
other South African products,
valued at 100000 year.
Most of the products from the
famous South African gold and dia-
mond mines are marketed in Eur
ope often to be resold, however, to
Americans.
Speculation centered today on
the identity of the first United
States minister to Cape Town. al
though the appointment may not
be made for several months.
The problem Of providing money
TO buy or build a legation also must
be taken up soon, and congress
probably will be asked this winter
to provide funds for this purpose.
The United States now has a
consulate at Cape Town which may
be used temporarily as a legation
if President Hoover decides to ap-
point a minister at once.
Great Britain officially has APP
proved the exchange of ministers,
as requisite, following the action
Of the South African assembly in
deciding to send the minister.
The self-governing British do
minion in South Africa includes
nearly a half million square miles
and population Of nearly 100000,
Of which Europeans make up about
0ne-fourth.

a rocky canyon as the roaring flames
forced them to flee, today was be-

The fire which the marooned men
were fighting was but small unit

BALK $4,000
HIGH SCHOOL
CRAB BY Ship
Irvington Plans Were Laid
to MuICt Public on
Heat Contracts.
BY BEN STERN.

Indianapolis taxpayers would
have been mulcted Of SCOOPS if the
state tax board had approved the
plans and specifications for the
heating and ventilating Of the Irv-
ineton high school, a comparison Of
bids and data supplied the tax board
indicated today.
The profit would have gone to c.
c. Shipp, Indianapolis ventilating
equipment manufacturer, whose
equipment. according to a statement
made by Carl Eurton, school board
building and grounds superintend-
ent, is favored by the school board.
Investigation has disclosed Shipp
has received a much lower price
for his equipment in other COM
munities than in Indianapolis
Comparison Of bids he has made
in other communities and Of prices
he published in his yellow and green
brochures showed striking Yariances.
Herman Zietlow, another manu-
facturer, told the tax board that
his bid was s4,575. and that of Ship
for the same type Of equipment was
$4,000.
Ships Figures Vary
The Shipp and Zietlow bids in
Guided radiation-the actual heat
ing radiators. Radiation generally
is figured at 35.5 cents a foot, On
this basis. radiation in the Irvington
school should have cost approx
mately S1,288. Deducting this
amount from the bids, the base
bids for ventuating equipment ap-
proximated S33,312 by Shipp, and
S3,347 by Zietlow.
Since twenty-eight units were to
have been used. the Ship unit bid
amounted to S1,189, while that OF
Zietlow was $119.
Shipp's bid was not consistent
with figures in his green book, "
Investigation disclosed. There,
Ships two types of units, specified
in the Irvington high school plans,
are quoted at 1924 and 1926 each.
On this basis. it followed, the total
ventilation and radiation bid on the
Shipp system might have been eX-
pected to approximate $4,000. Had
the contract been given Shipp, on
his high bid, the deal would have
represented an excess OF S24,O0O
above the profit he allows himself
in his own trade list.
Fir Prices to Situation
"I think it is a better system, "
was the only explanation given the
state tax board by c. c. York, school
business manager, when asked his
opinion of the price difference.
Evidence that Ships prices may
be fitted to situations was contained
in bids he submitted for two north
ern Indiana school boards.
For a school at North Manchester,
he submitted a quotation OF S279O
for thirty-four units. In this case
his base bid per unit was $55.29,
while his trade list price was Sill.
For a consolidated school in
Union township, Elkhart county, his
bid was S4,O28 for siXty-four units,
Or a unit price of $685..
NO ventilating radiators were
specified in the Elkhart job, but
were at North Manchester. In spite
of this. the Elkhart bid was $40
higher than the other, and in In
dianapolis mounted above the list
price.

.CAPPER AGAINST
USE OF PORTAB[ES
Homes District Will Be Able
to Reduce Number of

Chairman Capper Of the Senate
District committee today expressed hope
that the District of Columbia would be
able to reduce the number Of portable
school buildings still in use as quickly
as possible, and indicated that he would
be in sympathy with any plans which
might be worked out, looking to that end.
Senator Capper, who has taken a
special interest in the welfare of the
public schools of the District since he
has been in Congress, said that the use
of portables is out of place in a city OF
this size. He said he noticed that local
officials had been inspecting all OF the
portables during the Summer to find out
what condition they are in, and in
dictated he was glad that serious at
tention was being given to this subject.
The Senator said he did not know
just what recommendations would be
made to the next session of Congress
by the municipal authorities with re-
gard to the school housing program,
but felt everything possible should be
done to make the use OF portableS I'M
necessary without undue delay.
