Bidding Is Criticised

The manner in which the Indiana
truck corporation had bid was the
subject of much criticism among
other companies. Unlike the 9TH
ers, who had made only lump
offer for the old trucks, the Marion
concern made a separate trade-in
bid on each old truck.
Representatives of the company
had also made the assertion that
their concern used only Indiana la
Dor; when trucks offered were by
the Studebaker corporation of
South Bend, an Indiana concern,
and Ford trucks assembled here,
and this is resented by the other
concerns.
In addition to the trucks the COM
mission purchased snow plows for
$34,412.75; air compressors, $5,878.-
O4; trailers, $10,771.80 and truck
spring scrapers, $96636.
The commission last week had
purchased scrapers, road rollers and
similar equipment on bids totaling
. $51, 1928.
The other trucks we're purchased
as follows:
Fifty Dodge one and one-half-ton trucks
from the Victor E. Watkins Company of
Muncie for $45. $780, six one and one-half-
ton Studehaker trucks from the Stude-
baker-Pierce Arrow Corporation of South
Bend for $4,S19.50. eight Chevrolet trucks
from the A. w. Bowen Company of In
dianapolis for $5,372, and eight one and
one-half-ton Federal trucks for $3.50
from the Federal Truck Corporation of
Detroit. Mich, and eight Ford trucks from
the Thirtieth and Central Sales Company
of Indianapolis for SIS 463.36.
The commission after discussing
the unemployment emergency relief
program announced that the fol-
lowing roads would be taken into
the system:
From Richmond east to the Ohio state
line, five miles.
Connection with road No. 227 to the
Ohio line Randolph county,. one mile.

BUY 100 TRUCKS
DESPITE BAN
OF GOVERNOR
Road Body Satisfies Both
Leslie, Farrell in High
way Deal.

Members of the Indiana state
highway commission figuratively
patted themselves on the back to-
day after performing a two-fold
feat by satisfying two masters, Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie and the Indi-
ana Truck Corporation of Marion.
The commission added seventy
eight niles to the 300 absorbed last
week to provide work for the Gov
ernor's unemployed relief program,
and purchased 100 trucks at a cost
of Sl59,29541, awarding the lions
share in dollars to the Indiana
Truck Corporation.
Leslie wanted the commission to
go anead with his program and
halt the purchase of trucks in order
that the money from the mainte-
nance department surplus be used
for the employment of between
5000 and 5000 men.
State Representative Samuel j..
Farrell OF Hartford City, member
of the state budget committee
which controls the highway depart
ment's appropriation, and repre-
sents not only his district but the
truck corporation, wanted to sell
the commission some trucks mas
much as the commission had adver-
tised for bids on this equipment.
Leslie Gets Wish
Leslie got his wish and Farrelps
company sold forty trucks.
Fearing that the truck purchase
would deplete the maintenance
surplus, Leslie frowned upon the
purchase of the trucks and had
raised the point at the meeting last
week that the commission has no
authority to trade in the old equip
ment on the new trucks.
But Attorney General James M.
Ogden ruled in an opinion issued
Monday that the commission may
used sound business principles, and
this would permit the trading in of
WORKOUT equipment.
Even then Leslie did not expect
the commission to buy 100 trucks.
OF the $159, 295.41 expended on the
trucks the Indiana Truck Corpora
ton got the following orders:
Twenty eight three and one-half-
ton trucks at $78,745.5O, and twelve
one and one-half-ton trucks at
$1l,784.96.

H|T-RUN VICTIM
= NOT HER HUSBAND
Woman Claims Body at the
Moreue, but Discovers Mis-.
take at Funeral ParIors.

A few hours after Mrs. Geraldine
walter had identified the body of a
hit-and-run automobile victim as that
Of her husband, who disappeared about
three months ago, she examined it again
and found she had made a mistake, 1t
was learned today.
The error was discovered last night
when Mrs. Walter who lives at 2l09
Eighteenth street, called at the Cham
bers funeral parlor, 1400 Chaplin street,
to make ANAL arrangements for the
funeral, which was scheduled for to-
morrow.
Previously she and other members Of
her family had identified the body at
the District Morgue. where they had
gone after reading newspaper accounts
of the accident in which the man was
killed.
The mishsp occurred near Laurel last
Sunday. and the body was taken TO
the morgue, where it lay unclaimed for
more than 48 hours.
According to Prince Georges County
police the man was struck as he was
walking across the Washington Balti-
more boulevard at trafhc signal just
outside of Laurel.
After the car which hit him had sped
away, another motorist picked him up
and took him 70 Casualty Hospital,
where he was pronounced dead. No
marks of identification were found on
his person, so his body was removed to
the morgue.
When Mrs. Walter and other mem
bers Of her family examined it, the
face was unwashed and covered with
several days growth of beard. The
man appeared to be Of about the same
age height ard weight as her hus-
band Mrs. Walter explained.
Discovers Error Later.
After identifying the body, Mrs wal
ter ordered it transferred to the under
taking establishment while she made
plans for the funeral.
When she went to the funeral par
nor several hours later she examined
the body again. 1t had been washed
removed from the face. One look con-

The strongest proof" Mrs. Walter
said today, rs that my husband, who
was 81 years old, had a complete set
of teeth, while the man whose body
identified had only few teeth Aside
from that, however, the resemblance
Is startling"

sources up to Is cents for middling
Il inch staple. On that day the aver
age price In the 10 spot markets was
about 1881.
Even in the face Of the stock mar

of between 1872 and II cents from the
uary. 1880. when the growers had mar

Aid on Cotton Halted.
Then domestic and foreign demand
decreased, and prices headed for the
bottom. BY May it was realized that
any attempt to force liquidation Of the
co-operatives' holdings on which they
had loans would have disastrous conse-
quences on the cotton market and make
inevitable a tremendous loss to the
board. In this emergency the cotton
sterilization corporation was formed,
under the provisions Of the agricultural
marketing act, and the cotton taken OF
the market. The collapse of prices and
the causes, decided the board against
any further sterilization efforts in this
commodity.

Unprecedented marketing in August,
1929, brought about q critical situation,
and In view Of the then favorable out
look for world supply and demand, the
board offered to qualifled co-operativeS
loans on the basis Of 10 cents q bushel
on free wheat or 30 per cent Of the
value Of wheat on which a price had
besn fxed by future sale or hedging.
Then the market crash made its in
huence felt, and on October rs the
board offered to lend to co-operatives
up to stated values In the several ter
minal markets, these ranging from $1l3
to 3l.25 bushel. But the boards fore
cast as to demand proved erroneous, due
to q combination OF adverse circum-
stances. Winter saw prices slackening.
and early In February the Grain sta
bilisation Corporation was formed In
an effort to support the market.
In common with other traders, the
downs for the first half Of 1880, finally
dropping out Of the market in June,
1880, with a $4,000, oOo-bushel carry
over.
U. 3. Price Held Highest.
On November Is last the board re-
entered the market. From that time
until the new crop started moving In
June and sterilization was discontinued
the American market was held on an
average Of IS cents over the world
price, according to the board.

customarily there is wide variance
with the price favoring the British port,
the difference was narrowed to a point
where the figures were just about in

Is enough TO keep prices lower than

Crop to Be Cattle Fodder.
Out in Indiana, where the crops this
year are fine, Senator Watson said
many OF the wheat farmers are plan
ming to feed the wheat 10 hogs and
cattle II the price continues very low.
They can make far more out of
their wheat by feeding it to live stock
and later selling the stock than they
can by selling the wheat itself, he
said, adding that one farmer told him
within the last few days that he made
$3.50 o bushel of his wheat by feeding
It last year, and that the same farmer
hoped to make 81 a bushel by follow
ing the same course this year.
On Kansas farms, however. and other
Western farms where wheat Is the
principal II not the only crop. the
feasibility Of feeding wheat is not so
great.
The Indiana Senator said that when
Congress refOembles there Will I'M

and for unemployed.
Will Oppose u. s. DOIes.
He added that he would resist such
dole, just as he had in the last
Congress.
If people were starving or freezing
in this country" said Senator Watson,
II would vote money out of the Federal
Treasury to aid them. OF course. But
that did not happen last Winter, and
I do not believe 1t will happen next
Winter"
The Indiana Senator said he saw no
prospect OF any change by the Federal
Farm Board in its announced policy
which IS not to sell wheat at present
prices, but to hold itself in readiness to
sell not more than 5000, 900 bushels a
month
From other sources 1t is learned that
the Farm Board has the backing Of
some Of the farm co-operatives in its
stand on the wheat situation. The CO.
operatives have an interest in the sur
plus wheat and do not wish to have the
hands OF the board tied now by a
promise not TO sell any wheat no matter
what may happen to alter the wheat
situation.
