FIRST SCANDAL
OVER EXPENSES
ATFOREST CAMPS
Robert Fechner, Director
of the Corps, Contract
ed to Spend $2SO,OOO
for Toilet Kits Alone

Washington, June 2. (UP)--
Responsibility for a $2S0,000 con-
tract for toilet kits for the refor-
estation corps was laid on Robert
Fechner, director Of the corps, as
the senate military affairs commit
tee prepared to-day for d formal
investigation of the transaction.
Fechner contracted with the
Richard B. Bevier company of
New York to supply 100000 camp
General Dewitt Of the army has
informed the committee the army
could have procured kits Of similar
quality for IS cents.
According to Senator Carey,
republican, Wyo. who brought the
transaction to a subcommittee
attention, Fechner in informal
hearings told committeeman that
Col Louis Nc H. Howe. secretary
to President Roosevelt. had sug-
gested the contract be awarded to
the Bevier company.
This was emphatically denied by
Howe. who appeared before the
committee at his own request late
yesterday. Howe said a Bevier
company salesman had called on
him, but. he turned the matter over
to Fechner and f. w. Lowery of
the budget bureau. He submitted a
memorandum from Lowery, in
which the budget assistant said he
in turn had advised Fechner that
Howe desired him to use his own
Judgment.
81 certainly did not direct Fech-
ner to make the purchase of these
kits from the Bevier company"
Howe said. II did not even direct
him to make the purchase. l mere
ly told him he had the autority to
make the purchase IL he SO de-
sired"
After hearing Howe, the COM
mittee favorably reported Carey's
resolution for a full and official in
vestigation, and the senate adopted
Ii without debate.
The committee also adopted .
resolution by Senator Black, demo-
crat, Alabama, ordering the gov
eminent not accept any more Of
the kits pending outcome of the
inquiry. About $4,000 have been
delivered so far.

MUSSOLINI WAS
DISAPPOINTED
ABOUT TREATY
He Waited All Day Yester-
day for France, Great
Britain and Germany,
But They Failed Him

Paris, June 2.-(UP)-Premie
Benito Mussolini's hope for a dra-
matte initiating this week Of his
treaty binding Europe's chief ma
tions to keep the peace for ten
years was shattered today by the
announcement here that difficulties
remained and the ceremony prob
ably could not be held until next
week.
Mussolini and his aides waited
all day at Rome yesterday, hoping
for Anal approval of the treaty
draft by Great Britain, France and
Germany. Not till p. m, did he
give up hope that the initiating
could be done then
He had made arrangements to
announce the treaty over an inter-
national radio network tomorrow,
confident that by then the treaty
must be ready.
But French Premier Edouard
Daladier and Foreign Minister Jo-
seph Paul Boncour after comforting
for rs minutes today let 1t be
known that the treaty still was
incomplete.
A foreign Office spokesman said
that several difficulties remained
regarding details, but that progress
was being made.
It is hoped that a three-nation
conference on disarmament may be
held here Tuesday, with Norman
II. Davis representing the United
States. Boncour, France. and two
Of Britain's disarmament delegates
representing her.
This conference would deal en-
tirely with disarmament
Daladier and Boncour conferred
on disarmament, the four power
treaty and the World Economic
Conference. 1t was reported that
Daladier himself might 60 to the
conference for the first few days.

As this truth washed over Carroll, all the

her for what she was, q lonely pathetic figure

For example, Rhode Island did not vote

stitution was in fact adopted and became
Official. Liquor may De sold within the

liquor interests might then ship their
liquors into these States unless there
were a State prohibition against it. If
the dry States vote against such ship
ment, they can prevent it."
In the case of the dry States, it will
be up to the Federal Government to
maintain prohibition for them, in CO.
operation with their own law-enforcing
bodies, according to Maj. Dalrymple. He
sees this protection as one Of the biggest
after-repeal problems.
With respect to the manner in which
legal liquors will be distributed, Maj.
Dalrymple, with the Attorney General,
reminds us that the Democratic platform
simply states, I'VE are unalterably op-
posed to the return of the saloon and its
evils"
TN so far as possible" says the director
of prohibition, "the party will strive to
prevent the return of the saloon, but it
is really q matter that is up to the
States"
He also reminds US, with the Attorney
General, that no Federal legislation ex-
lists at present that would forbid the
opening Of saloons in those States where
saloons were demanded. However, he
advances a plan to Offset this as pos
sible solution to Federal control. BY this
plan he would place the matter Of
whether saloons shall exist or not di-
rectly in the hands of the Federal Gov
ernment at once, without q congress
sional act or until such time as Con-
gress could act.
my idea is," he states, "that the Fed
eral Government might make its per- Z
missive regulations such as to prevent
the return Of the saloon by refusing
license to any brewery, winery or dis
tillery for production after repeal, II that
brewery, winery or distillery sells its

product to a public drinking place, or to
public drinking places that are obviously
of a saloon nature.
THE Federal Government, as things
now stand, cannot prevent man from
opening a saloon. But the Federal Gov
ernment can do indirectly what It al
ready has the power to do directly-issue
permits to manufactures or withhold per-
mits from manufacturers. It may SO
make its regulations and permits as to
withdraw, withhold, or cancel the license
of any that sells its goods to saloon"
It is Maj Dalrymple's belief that farm
ers, grape growers and manufacturers
should be allowed to prepare at once for
the new industry.
"Get the grain and grapes ready.
Start the presses running" is his sug-
gestion. "Why should industry lie pros
trate until the thing we know is coming
is actually upon us? If we saw there were
to be a shortage in mutton or pork we
would raise more mutton and pork. II
our grain supply were running low we
would raise more grain. If there were not
enough automobiles being manufactured
to meet the demand we would speed up
production. Yet in the face of this tre-
mendous new industry we sit here doing
nothing in preparation for an inevitable
condition"
The national Treasury will be enriched
to the extent of close to billion dollars
annually, according to Maj. Dalrymple,
as income from beer, whisky and wine
once the law Is repealed and assuming
all the States are wet and permit sale.
The director also predicts that If the
Democratic party is able to continue its
excellent work in cutting down the waste
of public monies and can maintain an
honest, economical system of govern
ment by the consolidation of bureaus
and commissions and if it can hold its
expenditures down to $4,000, 900 900 per
annum, then the tax on beer, whisky
and wine, plus the receipts from customs
duty on foreign imports would practi-
cally eliminate the income tax and would
certainly abolish the luxury and NUS
ance taxes"
Happy predictions these! Ahead lies
the bright horizon Of reduced taxes:
every effort expended to prevent the re-
turn Of an ancient evil-the saloon;
promise of protection for American in
dustry; an inevitable impetus in store
for production and trade-milestones
along prosperity's highway. Let us not
forget that "after-repeal" likewise marks
the passing of . but-vaguely-regretted
sense Of secret adventure that We
brought to an afternoon cocktail and the

Harlow Akers Opens Vigorous
Campaign For Seat In Congress:

zona are actually interested in who
they send to Congress. There is a
strong realization amongst them
that this state, with one lone .repre-

who is able to accomplish something,
and that candidates dealing in
high sounding phrases without any
definite platform are not receiving
serious consideration.
II have been the only candidate
from the beginning of my announce

a platform as to just where stood
on many of the issues that are fac
