Dies Demands 0usting
OF Japanese Agents

A threat to expose alleged SUBJ
versive activities of japanese COM
mercial attaches and other agents
In this country unless the Govern
ment puts stop to them was made
last night by Chairman Dies of
the House Committee Investiga ting
Un-American Activities.
The Texan said his committee
had testimony from a former en-
ploye of the japanese consular serv-
ice in Hawaii that the japanese
have many fishing vessels on the
West Coast capable of quick con-
version into torpedo boats. Mr..
Dies said there was an especially
large congregation of such vessels at
Terminal Island off Los Angeles.
Between 5000 and 5000 japanese
commercial agents still are in this
country, Mr.. Dies said, despite the
ebrogation of the commercial
treaty with Japan. He insisted that
the Government take steps to get
rid of them. together with about
1900 exchange students from Japan.
and break up the concentrations of
Japanese fishing fleets in American
harbors

SugafHoarding Brings
Government Threat
To Flood Market
Recent Purchasing Spree
Boosts Prices Despite
Quote Operations
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Apparently fearful that the war
may cause shortages. American con-
sumers have engaged in another
sugar boarding spree which may
backfire on them.
Despite Government assurances
that supplies were ample, officials
said today that housewives, candy
makers, manufacturers of other
products requiring sugar, whole
salers and retailers have bought su-
gar at a record-breaking rate this
year to build up reserve stocks for
use in case of a scarcity or high
prices.
This heavy buying activity had one
natural result-a sharp rise in quo
tations. Today they are the highest
since the wars start in 1899, when a
similar epidemic of boarding led
the Government to take drastic ac-
ton to check the advance. Raw su-
gar is being quoted at about $3.50,
duty-paid basis, per 100 pounds at
New York.
CCpdl olIlIldlS.
who ordinarily are able to control
sugar prices effectively, consider
present quotations excessive.
Quota System in Use.
Under sugar control law, the
department has the power to say
how much sugar may be marketed
IN this country in any year and to
divide this quantity among various
producing areas under a quota sys-
tenn. BY increasing or reducing the
quotas it usually is able to influence
prices.
When it became evident, through
recently increasing prices and mar
keting reports, that consumers were
buying far beyond their current
needs, the department increased the
quotas. 1t hoped this action would
at least halt the advance.
The department figured wrong.
Prices kept going up. Again it in
creased the quotas, but further ad-
vances followed. A third, and very
large increase in quotas was made
this week Marketings under the
increased quotas are expected to
total 1929 tons, or about 100000
tons more than was consumed last
year.
This third increase. like its prede-
cessors. has had little or no effect
on prices.
May Flood Market.
Obviously anxious to avoid specu-
lative prices, officials said the Gov
ernment might have to repeat action
taken in 1899. At that time Presi-
dent Roosevelt, acting under au-
thority of the sugar law, suspended
the quota system, thereby removing
all import and marketing restrlc-
tions. officials were sure such
step. if taken, would have the desired
effect.
A suspension of quotas, by per-
mitting Cuba and domestic beet
sugar producers to sell large sur
pluses, might cause prices to drop
below levels at which boarding con-
sumers bought, officials said, thus
penalizing them.
Fears of shortages have been
founded on the fact that the United
States depends on offshore areas
mainly Cuba, Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and the Philippines-for more than
two-thirds of it's requirements and
the possibility that war shipping
losses might interfere with move
ment of those supplies. The Agri-
culture Department has issued
statements discounting this pos
sibility.

Senators Told Army
Paid Firm Million for
Building One Plant
Engineering Official
Tells Probers Thut Fee
Wasn't 'UnduIy Large
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Harrison Smith, a partner of
Sanderson 81 Porter, New York en-
gineering firm, testified yesterday
the partnership would receive fees
totaling S1,239,000 for supervising
the design. construction and first
years operation of the Army's Ell
wood ordnance plant at Joliet, Ill.
Appearing before the Senate De-
fense Investigating Committee, Mr..
Smith said he did not think the fees
were "unduly large" because the
Government received for the money
the services of IAN experienced or
ganization Of competent people"
The witness said that he was the
only full-time man furnished in
consideration of the fee, but that
part-time services of other partners
we're, provided, and Sanderson &
Porter paid additional compensa-
tion to various employees who were
on the Government pay roll.
Overhead" in Fee.
Estimating the total cost of the
project at between S37,000,000 and
$4,000 900, Mr.. Smith said the Gov
eminent was required to pay for all
materials. equipment and labor in
addition to providing Office facilities
on the job.
Out of the fee to the engineering
company. he said, came a share of
the general overhead" of Sander
son & Porter.
Just what has Sanderson & Por-
ter furnished the Government"
Chairman Truman asked, except
experts who are paid by the Gov
ernment"
We've furnished some business
ability, I hope, and have performed
a real service, I'm sure" Mr.. Smith
replied.
Couldn't the Government have
carried on the project just as well
by hiring these people itself, instead
of paying a big fee to Sanderson g.
Porter?" Senator Truman asked.
Army Rents 1917 Truck.
"I think not" the witness replied
Mr.. Smith said his firms business
had averaged about S250,000 a year
for the five years preceding the de-
tense emergency.
During questioning of Capt. r. l..
Richardson, War Department exec
utive. concerning rental of equip
ment on Army cantonment prof.
ects, Committee Counsel Hugh A..
Fulton read figures which he said
showed the Army paid $3.50 month
for rental of 1917 truck at Fort
Bliss. Tex.
Asked whether. such a rental
could be justified, Capt. Richardson
said that it might have been if
the truck were employed for a spe-
clflc job which could not be done
as well by any other type of equip
ment.

Mrs. Mary V. Dewey, manager ci the Waterbury branch of the Con- necticut State Employment service today announced the local ofacea would remain open from 2 to o'clock tomorrow evening in order to give draftees leaving on the next auote an opportunity to renew their FeglstratlonS.

 Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock local merchants will gather in the employment service to attend q "Christmas Clinic" arranged by Mrs Dewey for the purpose of discussing plans for the formation of claasea which will have as their object the inauguration of persons who wish tc obtain work during the Christmas season.
 Tlae problem Of securing tempor- mry workers during the anticipated holiday rush is more acute this sea- son than in other years, due to iFl- creased employment. It is felt. how ever. that this deficit may be over- come by recruiting employees from married women and high school students.

mains too many of our American
households.
We must build up. not merely our
Army and our Navy, but we must
build up the well-being of our civil
ian population.
In past years we have done this
through great humanitarian re-
vival. This year we must do it for
the added reason that adequate ma
tional defense definitely needs it.
Once more I point out to you that
the Federal Government cannot and
ought not to try to cover the whole
field of social service. Private
agencies in every locality are essen
tial not only for the good of the sick
and the children and the mothers
and the poor but they are of the
utmost importance in instilling
charity or greater love of our fell
low beings in the hearts of all of us
as individuals.
We can afford to be better neigh
bors TO our neighbors We can af-
ford to give support to those noble
men and women whose lives are de-
voted TO the help of their fellows.
1t would be a calamity for the Ma
tion and its future if private charity
did not exist and grow. That is
why I am asking each and every
individual in every town and village
and on every farm to contribute
something, large or small, toward
this great and proven service. You
will be helping to build stronger
and better America. When I have
said that I have said all that is nee
essarv for it is spiritual as well as
a practical appeal 10 the better
natures of nv fellow citizens.

Roosevelt, Wi||kie
Urge u. 5. Support
Community Chests
Porty Leaders Unite
In Radio Appeals for
Generous Giving

AS prelude to Community Chest
campaigns throughout the country.
President Roosevelt and Wendell
Willkie joined in an appeal to a
Nation n-Wide radio audience last
night to give generously at the an
nual mobilization of dollars for
human needs.
Washington Community Chest
campaign will be held from Novem-
Der 13 to q.
Broadcasting from the White
House. President Roosevelt en-
phssized that the well-being of the
civilian populace must be built up
because adequate national defense
definitely needs it."
The President said: I'm a great
world threat to our future, we must,
for ourselves and our country, pre-
serve and make secure our values
and the strength of our institutions. -
While it is true, he added, that
more people are at work than ever
before, that the national income is
rising, "it is still true that millions
of our fellow citizens are still under
nourished. ill clad and poorly housed.
Bad health mains too many of our
American households"
Mr.. Willkie, speaking in New York,
pointed out that Americans had "a
profound faith in freedom" and he
added:
BY giving to those who have too
little. you will be defending America
just as surely as If you were engaged
in the manufacture of ornaments. u
The 1910 Republican presidential
nominee also declared: BY your
giving you will demonstrate that
under free system men and women
are not abandoned to suffering and
social neglect or forced to become
wards of an all-powerful state that
under a free franchise we are In
reality fellow citizens"
Another appeal over the air was
made by Tom K. Smith. St. Louis
banker, head of the Mobiliza ton for
Human Needs.
