Sincerity Is Admitted

Nobody questioned Baruch's sim cerity any more than his honesty. He was convinced that his plan for wartime price-fixing, plus heavy war tax profits, would be mighty effective.
 But the committee brought
 out plainly that if the national defense i'm the last war had dee pended on willingness of Amer
 icap industry to foregO hugo profits, the Germans would have taken Kansas City within three weeks.
 While Baruch himself was in charge of the industrial show and prices were being fixed, such indus tries as steel, copper, and gunpow- der went lon strike" in the midst of var until such profits were as- sured.
 Surrounded by a half dozen re- tainers, under Herbert Bayard Swope, the big, white haired, dis tinguished Baruch lowered in the committee room. He switched his glasses from tortoise shells to plHCe-NeZ aS ne stopped reading statements, then gestured eloquent ly with hands and arms as he al ternately grinned confidently, bee tied his brows, and waggled' his finger like a school teacher.
 His career has given him touches of accent from the deep south, the western prairies, and even from the sidewalks of New York--as when he says "woik."

Huge Gouge Revealed

Copper companies making an early war profit of 35 to 65 per cent on copper at 16 2-3 cents q pound had squawked and baked until they forced a price of 23k cents. Committee records indicat- ed that, though price-fixing, they had cleaned up $156,000,000 more than they should have. Sul- phur companies jimmied price of $22 a ton, whereas later Federal Trade Commission study showed the ton cost was but $5.73. -. Similar stories were told of steel, aluminium, nickel, and other indus tries. Later revenue agents reported 1917 taxes for these com panies should be 106 per cent more than they were willing to pay in 1917; A per cent more than they offered for 1918.

Washtnkton, April 4.--Anyone who had the ineffable three-day privilege of hearing MT Bernard Names Baruch discuss war prot- it's with the Senate Munitions Com mittee is now afflicted with the un- easy suspicion that taking the prof it out of war is an operation com parable to taking the eggs out of an omelet.
 It's a great pleasure to look at Barney Baruch and an even great CT one to listen to him. Among all the bulls, bears, wolves. hyenas, and warthogs who have come rom Wall Street to below, squirm, or pontificate before senate commit tees these last few years, Baruch stands out as of a superior breed.
 If anyone supposed that Baruch had profited from the World War when he filled the great post Of chairman of the Wod Industries Board, he quickly changed his mind as Baruch made forceful, frank presentation of his personal wartime finances.
 Thereupon Baruch assumed the role of an honest. benevolent old gfanddaddy, eager both to help the committee in its job and to get full credit as leader in the movement to eliminate war profits.

pressed a fear there was grave

Mr.. Green said it was his opin-
ion that the strike was called
because of "the feeling of resent

created by President Roosevelt
and headed by Leo Wollman." He
said:
"The workers in the Toledo
plant decided among themselves

had participated in an election

that they can keep. their Jobs un-
der the married persons" clause
of the economy act, it was asserted
today by E. Claude Babcock, presi-
dent of the American Federation
of Government Employees, before
the House Civil Service Committee
The AFG head pointed to this
situation as one reason why the
clause should be repealed. He
also declared the provision ad
versely affects the merit system
policy. He said:

right to my office. Girls come
here from out of town and go
to work in Federal establish
mentS. They have no social
contacts here. The same ap-
plies to boys.
"The first and most natural
thing that happens is that
these boys and girls who work
together go to the movies to-
gether or go home together and
eventually fall in love. What
ever laws may be enacted can
not change the law of nature.
LIVE TOGETHER
"A couple wants to get mar
ried, but cannot do so on one
salary. They realize that if
they do get married, Section
213 will cause one to give up
his job.
so, they go ahead with
natural inclinatiOns, especially
being away from home, and live
together without marriage.
These people are not i'm
moral, but they regard this
Section 213 as an invasion on
their basic rights which are
even above the constitution.
They just overlook marriage"
He was questioned by Repre-
sentatives Joe Starnes CD OF
Alabama as to whether this Qua
employment of husband and wife
might not lead to a reduction Of
childbirth, and he answered that
many of the married government
couples have children and it is
necessary for them both to keer
their jobs so that they can raise
their children properly.
