House COMMITTEE
Will PUSH PROBE
OF ARMY CONTRACTS
High Officers Called to Tell
What They Know Of Plan
Complications

Washington, March 13.-tR>-A let.
ter in which high army officer ap.
parently frowned on the aviation
plans of Harry H. Woodring, assis-
tant secretary of war. was disclosed
Tuesday by congressional inyestiga-
tors.
Brig. Gen. Oscar Westover. assist
ant chief of the air corps, was called
before the house military affairs COM
mittee to say why he wrote what he
did to Brig. Gen. Henry Conger Pratt,
air corps officer at Wright Field,
DAYTON, Ohio. The letter indicated a
belief that ruling by Woodring
might "complicate' staff plans for
buying planes.
The letter said that Woodring had
lust ruled that no negotiations for
the purchase of new airplanes, in
Guiding those for which $500 900
public works allotment was set aside,
should be made until the assistant
secretary approved the program.
Westover's letter added:
1.-THE latter instructions indicate
that Burdette Wright has apparently
placed the entering wedge which may
further complicate the plans for
(airplane) procurement under the
PWA program, or for that matter un-
der any program"
Said Wright Complained
Woodring, in recent testimony, said
Wright had complained to him that
under the army's practice OF grant
ing negotiated" contracts without
competitive bids, his company had
no chance to get business.
Available also for the house COM
mittee to study Tuesday was a tram
script of nearly five weeks of hear
ings before a grand jury. This body,
after looking into an alleged conspir-
acy to defraud the war department
on certain supplies. declined to IN
dict any one.
When informed Of this, Chairman
McSwain Of the house committee said
"our work now is more important
than ever"
Committee members were informed
that no indictments had been return
ed because the jury had been told It
could not act against two or three
of the principals involved unless 1t
acted against all OF them.
Among the witnesses heard by the
grand jury, primarily about the pur-
chases of trucks and underclothing,
were Woodring, General Douglas
Macarthur, chief of army staff;
Frederick Payne, former assistant
secretary of war: Ralph T. ONeil,
former national commander OF the
American Legion, and more than q
score Of others.

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons?
The dose Of liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. It
forms no habit; you need not take q
double dose" a day or two later.
Nor luil a mild liquid laratipe irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose Of a liquid laxative
brings perfect movement, and there
is no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
1t gently helps the average persons
bowels back to regularity. DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is an approved
liquid laxative which all druggists
keep ready for use. 1t makes an
ideal family laxative: effective for
all ages. and may be given the
youngest child. Member N. r. A.

Communists
Praised by
Ala. Striker
By Mine Worker COrrespOnder

BY a Mine Worker Correspondent
BESSEMER, Ala.-The ore mines
are on strike fighting for higher
wages and shorter hours. This is
the most militant strike that ever
happened in the Southern states.
The bosses said the mines would
run on Monday, but the strikers
have not let a man in the mines.
The workers have been on the
picket line ever since Friday morn
ing. The Negroes and white are
on the picket line side by side in
the ore field.
The bosses Of the Republic and
the T. c. I. are shaky here at this
time when they see the white and
Negro workers are fighting for
bread in this district and they are
trying to stop the strike by telling
the workers that the company
union is good for them. but the
workers are fighting for a workers
union.
The Communist Party has opened
the eyes of the white workers to
fight with the Negroes on the picket
line here. The white and Negro
workers turned the scabs back
Monday morning and told them not
to go to the mine The bosses said
they would see to it that the mines
would be running Monday, but We
were on the picket line all night
| Sunday.
This is time when all the work
ers of Alabama are fighting back
against the wage cutting system of
capitalist slavery and the speed-up
system.
/ We see in the May Day demon
Stration this has given the workers
Of the South a double struggle
with the bosses, but the workers
are meeting the situation. and the
workers will not be fooled by the
misleaders.
The Communist Party should be
given due credit fer this work in
the Southern states by their activ-
ity here, and they have taught many
Of the workers here how to fight
for themselves. for recognition Of
the workers union, against this
company union. We love the Com.
munist Party.

miners voted again to continue the
strike by loading one car day until
their demands are won. the Local

It is three weeks already and no

The Rietz Coal Co., is spreading
the news that they will shoot down
the miners, but the miners can't be
fooled.
The immediate task is for the
miners to form United Front with
the Unemployment Council and
push forward the demand for relief
from the County, as miners worked
recently only two and three days a
week, and to build a stronger OPP
position in the local.

The Company is aware of this

the miners not to join the IN
