BY the Associated Press.
All manufacturers submitting mo-
tor car bids to the War Department
must attach afidavits swearing they
have employed no one outside of their
organization in dealing with the Gov
eminent.
An order to this effect was issued
by Harry H. woodring. Assistant Sec
retary Of War. in an effort to end
lobbying before the department.
Award s375,oO0 Contract.
At the same time, the department
announced award Of a contract for
176 heavy four wheel drive trucks to
the White Motor Co for s375,000.
Bids for more than 5000 motor
cars. submitted by two other manu-
facturers, have been rejected and the
bids will be readvertised.
Rejection of the bids was based on
a decision by ]. r. McCarl. the con.
troller general. that they were not
acceptable because the low bidder in
each instance had refused to extend
the time limit for purchases under
the bids.
Recently District grand jury
made a lengthy investigation Of con-
tracts awarded by the War Depart
ment in which allegations of lobbying
figured.
The grand jury returned no indict-
ments. but recommended-in a report
which was sent to the White House
that legislative and administrative
action be taken against political
lawyers"
Applies Only to Cars.
At Woodring's office it was said the
anti-lobbying order applied only to
motor car bids and affidavits would
not be required In bids for airplanes
and equipment to be purchased with
the $7.500,000 fund allotted the War
Department by the Public Works Ad-
ministration.
Bios for the planes. held up at the
time of recent grand jury and con-
gressional investigations, will be re-
advertised.

Protected by law, the rodents

It has been a game of watch

cause the first half dozen dams

However, 1t was added, by 1925 the

Indicating that 1t was long a site

as they dug through various levels.
Although few human burials were
found. the archeologists said they
discovered parts of 35 skeletons in
a nearby hillside cemetery. DR..

village to be nearly five hundred

Olynthus, Doctor Robinson ex-
planned, was a city of $4,000 inhab-

closed, Doctor Robinson unearthed
a 15-line inscription proclaiming al
lance of the Olynthians with Phil
ip, king of Macedonia. However,
it was added, In 357 B. c., nine
years after the alliance was pro-
claimed. Philip disregarded its pro-
visions, razed the city and sold the
people into slavery.
Indicating that Olynthus once
was ravaged by a severe epidemic,
Doctor Robinson said he found the
remains of 80 Olynthians buried to-
gether, apparently victims of a
strange malady.
The expedition also uncovered a
brilliantly painted tomb and five
