WASHINGTON, Sept. II (UP)
Senator Gerald P. Nye (R., ND
charged last night that armament
makers were spreading propa-
ganda" in an effort to smother
sensational disclosures by the SEN
ate munions investigating commit
tee.
He refused to subscribe to con-
tentions that revelations by his
committee would damage Ameri-
can business. ..
when we discredit one NUM-
tions company" he said, eve dis
credit all. They all operate under
the same system. 49,.
Armament makers have be-
come calloused to rottenness.
They have enjoyed utmost secrecy
in their activities for years. It's
time the public learned the truth"
Secretary of Commerce Daniel
c. Roper, it was learned, has been
bombarded with protests from
heads of American arms COM
panies who claimed the inquiry
would ruin their foreign. trade.
A recent dispatch from Chile
declaring that commercial rela-
tions with American firms would
be broken off as a result of the
investigation was described by
Nye as "just propaganda"
Another branch of the govern
ment-the department of state
has been harassed by complaints
from foreign governments be-
cause the committee permitted the
names of King George of England,
the Prince of Wales, the president
of Mexico and others to enter the
records in an uncomplimentary
light.
Nye said emphatically last night
that attempts to "soft pedal" the
inquiry would be useless. 1--WE
have just scratched the surface"
he said. "Our investigation, l
promise you, will be most COM
plete."
Nye promised further sensa-
tional disclosures before the COM
mittee wound up the first phase
of its investigation next week.
Munitions makers who have testi-
fed thus far probably will be re-
called for further examination
later in the fall.
Because of desire not to en-
barrass political candidates in the
November elections, the commit
tee decided to postpone disclos-
ures about campaign contributions
of the huge Du Point company of
Delaware. Members of the Du-
Pont family were asked to supply
the committee with a statement of
recent contributions. However,
publications will be delayed until
the committee meets again, prob
ably about November 20.
Men who invented and manu-
featured lethal gases, bombs and
tear gases will be summoned be-
! fore the committee next week.
They include: John w. Young.
president, and Frank S. Jones,
South American agents, of the
Federal Laboratories, Inc, of
Pittsburgh.
Before concluding the first three
weeks of hearings the committee
also will examine B. C.. Goss, pres
ident of the United States Ord
nance Engineers, of Cleveland,
and Fred Huber, the firms South
American agent, and William P.
Brown, head of Byington and Co.,
New York, exporting firm.

Continued from Tribune August Oath

1st Member for Christiansted Town
(Coneqata): Mr.. Chairman. Money Bill
TX, Aing's Hill Poor Farm. In present.
ing the amendment for the Committee
with reference to Money Bill TX should
like 10 call to the attention to the fact
that some of the items under salaries are
different 10 what they were in last years
budget. 1t is regrettable that the mum.
Der of inmates has increased from 12O to
100: and it is unreasonable to expect one
nurse to do all the work. and for that
reason the Committee has recommended
an increase IL staff, both male and fe-
male. Equipment is comparatively small,
but if more is needed it can be taken
from the Hurricane Fund. Some change
has been made under Maintenance so as
to give the inmates of this institution
who are on the last term of their lives
the comfort they should enjoy.

1st Member for Christiansted Town

at the outset that this is a big money bill,
but don't let that brighten you. There
are several changes under salaries and a
new item has been added. the other items
are the same as last year. The Commit
tee felt that we have to provide for the
growing youth of the community. When
it comes to education we can never be
too liberal because when once the oppor-
tunity is lost we cannot make it good in

Random Notes

With all the unpleasantness caused
by the local political disturbance it IS
of some educational value. 1t brings
out forcihly that basic qualification
that Virgin Islands Governor should
possess is the ability to prevent and TO
stop leaks. The new public clstern IN
Chrstiansted sprang leak. The G)ver-
nor was blamed. The new manual train.
ing building in Christianstet Ia said TO
have a leak. The Governor was censur-
ed for this. The homestead houses as
reported by Fritz Morris are leaking.
The Governor is again responsible. The
Governor is to be smoked out if they are
real leaks in the P w A. G w A and n K
A funds and even the rats on the Ad-
ministration ship blame the Governor
for the leaks caused by the holes gnawed
into it by three strange mice who
were believed to be blind.
The Santa Cruz Distille~s (Hermon
Hill) are making their first shipment of
the famous Sc. Croix Rum today. Seven,
ty-five cases of the Blackboard brand
are going out on the IS. Catherine.
for transhipment to the States.
Brow's Ginger Ale Plant is shipping
fifty cases of Virgin Islands Dry Ginger
Ale to San Juan P. R. today.
A few years ago Postmaster Leader
took few bottles of Mr.. Brow's GIN
ger ale to Puerto Rico for the purpose
of demonstrating its excellence and in
PRODUCING this product in the Puerto Ri
co Market. He was seized by Federal
ggent and after meeting several Off
GERS in the Federal Building and explain
ing the harmlessness of his ginger ale
they opened the bottle. Leader was not
at all scared.
