13 Indictments Returned.
Out Of the SO cases presented to
United States attorneys, 13 indict-

been returned.
These figures were described by
Secretary Ickes as being a part of re-

143 Investigators Employed.
Under Mr. CLAWS direction in the
Public Works Division of the bureau

and an additional l30 are assigned to

Wherever money is being spent in
large quantities, one or more of these
secret agents has keen nose turned

Secretary Ickes has asked for ap-
