HOOVER EXPENSES
0NPLANES SHOWN
s5,00O,OO0 Spent During
Last Three Days of
Administration.
q the Associated Press.

D. the Associated Press.
Five million dollars was spent by
she War Department on airplanes
during the last three days of the
Hoover administration. according to
figures submitted today to the House
Military Affairs Committee investi-
eating reported irregularities in the
spending of national defense money.
The figures also showed that S24,0O0.-
900 was spent on airplanes in the last
three and half years of the admin
Etration.
Committee members, chary OF
charges that they were conducting a
partisan investigation for political ad-
vantage. were quick to explain that
they had no intention of trying to put
all the blame for the "S5,000000 rush
orders" on Republican Office holders.
AS one member said:
"It must be remembered that the
regular officers Of the Army have had
considerable influence On the civilian
officials charged with responsibility
for the contracts. Last March, they
were not certain as to what attitude
the new President, his Secretary of
War. and their assistants, would take
toward aviation"
Detailed Statements Made.
Detailed statements on all War De-
partment contracts for airplanes, parts
and equipment since 1926 have been
submitted to the committee. These
show. in the three and one-haf years
1oc tnt a l.
ing s24,OO0OOO.
But from mid-December to March
I around Sl0.OO0000, or nearly half
The total. was contracted. And on
March l, 2 and the total commit
ments were roughly, SIS 100000
For nearly a month the Military
Affairs Subcommittee headed by Rep
resentative Rogers, Democrat, of New
Hampshire, has been attempting to
determine who was responsible for the
Armys system of buying airplanes on
negotiated" instead of competitive
contracts.
Members who helped draft the 1926
aircraft defense act say it was their
intention to insure competition fol
quantity purchases. But they have
found that not once since 1925 were
any airplare contracts open to COM
petition.
They discovered that last January
the Public Works Administration sci
aside S7,500.000 for the purchase OF
Army airplanes. Army officers pro-
posed to buy these through ''nego-
tiated' contracts.
Insisted on Competition.
Harry H. Woodring, Assistant Sec
retary of War. insisted there ShoulC
be competition. Specifications were
drawn and submitted to the industry
for competitive bids Subsequently i,
developed that the performance fig
ures-speed, range, altitude-had beer
drastically reduced below those first
suggested by the Air Corps.
Woodring denied that he made the
changes, and at the request of the
committee held up the contracts
which are still pending
Committee members say that Wood
ring, by ordering competition, was
attempting to buck" long -estab-
lished system and aroused the antag-
onism of Army officers.
Their objective is to find out
whether that is fact. They also
want to determine whether these same
Army officers eXerted enough pressure
to put through s50O0.OOO in "nego-
tiated' contracts the last three days
Of the Republican administration.

Referendum And
Initiative Studied

Charles l.. Powell, Benton county
prosecuting attorney, addressed mem
bers of the Woman's club and other
interested women in the community
on the five measures coming up for
the public vote at the election on the
sixth of November. Mr.. Powell anal
yzed and explained Initiatives n and
"a, the fish" and 40-mill levy limit
acts, discussing the manner in which
the fishermen and taxpayers will be
affected by the passage of such mea-
sures. In connection with the 40-mill
act, he said that the schools need not
suffer as other means of support be-
sides the tax on real and personal
property were available to them.
Referendum 10, the Bone Power bill,
which was rejected by the legislature
several times and then referred to the
people when it finally was passed by
them, was next discussed. The two
constitutional amendments are con-
cerned with taxation, one of them re-
framing q section of the constitution so
that graduated income tax will be
legal and the other making it possible
for the taxpayer to appeal to the state
tax commission on assessment matters
without bringing suit against the coun-
ty.
The meeting was very we'll attended
and Mr. Powell's talk greatly appre-
ciated. A short business meeting pre-

Big Seed Corn
Sale Expected
For Next Year
Growers Are Urged To Save
An Ample Supply Of
Good Ears

Local corn growers should set aside
enough good seed ears this fall to in
sure an adequate supply for local
needs and to anticipate a shortage in
drouth areas of other states, points
out Leonard Hegnauer, extension ag-
economist, says Waldo w. Skuse, Ben
ton county agent Rising feed prices
and the shortest national corn crop
in 40 years should serve to stimulate
demand for good seed next spring and
keep the price fairly high.
Seed corn should preferably be sell
ected in the field before heavy freez-
ing sets in but not before the ears
are dry and fully matured When sell
ected in the field ears can be picked
from strong healthy stalks insuring
vigorous stock. Ears located at me-
dunn height on the stalk are prefer
able to those near the top or bottom
of the stalk Ears that turn down
should be chosen as they indicate ma
turity and weight in addition to being
better protected from the weather
Good seed corn in addition to being
we'll matured and dry should first OF
all be standard for type and variety.
The kernels should be medium rough,
set in straight rows, have depth, and
be of uniform size from end to end.
Each kernel should be of uniform
yellow color or standard color for the
variety The ears should be cylindr1-
CAL well-formed and uniform in size.
Only the high yielding varieties should
be considered
After the ears are picked, they may
be stored in any dry, protected place
where there is good circl lation Of air.
Iney may eftner be sprdng and sus-
pended from rafters or placed on
shelves where they will be protected
from mice and rats.
