CODES PRICE
OF R.F.C. LOANS
Only Those Abiding by
NRA Rules May Borrow
for Industry

WASHINGTON, June %. (UP).
The government yesterday put a
new penalty on companies that
fail to sign NRA codes or certi-
ficates of code compliance.
Regulations of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance corporation to gov
ern it's new direct loans to in
dustry provided that the borrow
er must abide by all NRA rules.
NRA counsel Donald Richberg
interpreted this as meaning that
not only must the borrowers
themselves comply with codes,
but they can grant no contracts
to non-compliers for any project
financed wholly or in part with
RFC funds.
The ruling is an extension into
private industry of the presi-
dents executive order of March
IA requiring that all bidders on
federal contracts furnish certifi=
Gates of code compliance. The
Ford Motor company has been
hit hardest by this order. AL
though never accused of failing
to observe the automobile code,
its bids have been thrown out be-
cause it has not signed the code
or submitted a compliance certi-
ficate.

Registrars in Two Pre-

State Board

COLUMBUS, June 23.-Follow-
ing hearing here yesterday, the
state board of elections ordered
the removal of the three members
of the Polk county board of cleo
tions and of registrars in Column
bus and Green's Creek precincts.
S. J. Feagan, chairman of the
Polk board, Democrat, and W. M.
Smith. Republican, were ordered
to give up their positions because
of alleged failure to perform their
duties in connection with the June
primary, and H. G. Laughter,
Democrat, was declared ineligible
to hold office, as he is chief OF
police at Saluda.
Alleged failure on the part of
Feagan and Smith grew out of
charges that absentee ballots were
cast in fraudulent manner. The
board found no failure of perfor-
nance of duty as to Laughter.
The two registrars removed
were D. M. Burgess, Democrat, of
Columbus precinct. and Tom
Steadman, Democrat, of Green's
Creek. Both are alleged to have
failed in the performance of their
duty.

ARMY CHIEF IS
WITNESS TODAY

WASHINGTON, June 20. (UPy
General Douglas Macarthur, army
chief of staff, testified before the
House War Department investi-.
eating committee today in secret
session.
It is understood that he dis
cussed recent developments which
included an admission by Colonel
Joseph I. McMullen, Of the Advo-
cate Generals office, that McMul-
len accepted fees from business
concerns while on active duty.
McMullen, who enlisted in 1895
and rose from the ranks to his
present $4,000 q year job, previ-
ously admitted to the committee
that at various times he had ac-
cepted more than $4,000 in legal
fees from private companies while
on active duty in the department.
Convinced q major army scam
dial is hidden beneath the red taps
Of war department sale and pur-
chase methods, the House military
affairs investigating committee to-
day prepared to use justice de-
partment operatives in an inten..
sive summer inquiry.
The move came as the names
Of Assistant Secretary of War
Harry A. Woodring, Ralph T.
O'Neill, former American Legion
commander, and Robert Jackson,
resigned secretary Of the Demo-
cratic national committee entered
testimony concerning q surplus
clothing sales contract.
The committee is the same
which previously startled the war
department by unanimously rec
ommending removal Of Maj.-Gen.
Benjamin D. Foulois, air corps
chief, on charges of inefficiency
and violation of the law requiring
competitive bidding on plane con-
tracts.
The first major objective Of the
summer investigation, ACCORDING
to Chairman VIM. N. Rogers, will
be to obtain full details of the
surplus sales contract which a dis
trict grand jury investigated with
out results last winter. Col. Jos.
| I. McMullen, who holds q key po-
sition in the Judge advocate gen
erals office has testified that at
Woodring's instance he drew up
a contract for the surplus sales in
accordance with terms requested
by Joseph Silverman, New York
trader, who was later banned
from departmental business deals.
O'Neill represented Silverman
during preliminary negotiations
here.
Although McMullen implicated
Woodring in the case, one COM
mittee member charged that NC
Mullen just decided to lay it on
Woodring because he is in hot
water himself"

Ambassador Saito Going

WASHINGTON, June %. (UP)
Japanese Ambassador Hriosi Sal
to, master of slang, golf and good
will, packed his trunks yesterday
for trip to Tokyo where he will
spend the summer planning a
comeback in the friendship of ia
pan and America.
Saito is considered Japan's ace
diplomat on American affairs.
Powerful figures in Tokyo, and
a large circle of his American
friends as we'll, rely on him for
some deft stroke to lift Japanese
American relations out of the
rough, where they have been for
three years since the "Manehurian
affair."" onto the fairway of easy
rolling progress.
Saito has been studying the
next shot for four months-not a
very long time in diplomacy
from the Washington angle. Last
February he was named ambassa-
dor here, the youngest ever to
hold the post. He is At.
He has seen President Roose-
Welt frequently and has held many
conferences with Secretary OF
State Hull.
Now he is crossing the Pacific
TO look at his "lie" from the
Tokyo side. He will consult For
eign Minister Hirota, the elder
statesmen and perhaps also the
emperor. g.,
Three big problems have begged
down Japanese-American affairs
recently:
1. Naval rivalries.
2. Conflicts of policy regarding
China.
8. Trade competition. ~

the straps had been applied about
