rived during the night, he lodged at r-by
cabin or snoozed in his automobile (Once,
in northern New York, he used his car for
wayside inn when it was 16 below zero.)
After a breakfast of orange juice, two slices
OF whole-wheat toast and cup of coffee
(25 cents), he drove his car to the canton
ment. He arrived there bright and early -
50 early that he usually met up with the morn
ing shift of workers, who were streaming
through the gates in their flivvers. As mat
ter of fact it would have been difficult to have
told him from the carpenters and bricklayers,
for he has hobby of laying bricks before
breakfast on his backyard wall And he looks
like newer and hauler.
Once inside, he drove around for three or
four hours. He watched laborers at work, he
examined construction jobs, he inspected
salvage piles for possible wastage He noted
the grade and quality of lumber with the
practiced eye of one who as youngster, had
been a roustabout in Michigan logging
camp. He studied the soil for dryness or
swampiness, the selection of sites for key
structures, the arrangement of public utili-
ties the type and suitability of terrain. He
drove everywhere except on the rifle range
If challenged he could produce letter from
the Adjutant General, and his congressional
credentials
When he had completed his frsthand in
vestigation, he presented himself to the COM
handing officer Of the post, Identifying HIM

Immediately there were luncheon and

- NE morning year ago, an Appropria-
tons Committee clerk hurried into
~ the Office of Representative Albert ].
Engel of Michigan. The messenger placed
copy of the original SAGE, ,OOO, 900 Army can
tonment construction bill on the congress
mans desk, and asked for his immediate
approval. Mr.. Engel sputtered a refusal,
slipped into his coat and scurried across the
plaza to the House of Representatives as
swiftly as his short, thick legs would propel
his 225-pound body.
He discovered that only two poorly mimeo-
graphed copies of the bill were available for
House members. Not even the men on the
Appropriations Committee (of which MIR.
Engel is conscientious member) who are
charged with handling War Department
funds could make head or tail of the impro-
vised documents. The measure had not been
approved at full meeting of the Appropria-
tons Committee itself.
This disorderly management of those mil
lions of dollars troubled Engel He thought
OF himself when dollar was precious thing
and his mind raced back to bitter Thanks
giving morning in Chicago more than Is
years ago. His rent was paid until the
next Monday, but the newcomer to the city
had no job and only 81 so on him - a 5O-cent
piece in three different pockets so that he
couldn't lose all his fortune at once
He entered hash house and sat down
before a 10-cent breakfast of coffee and
doughnuts. He had fished castoff news
paper out of a trash can to read the want ads
But his eye fell on Thanksgiving Day car

called. And I'd have beat it home if I'd
had the fare. And here was - not too many
years later - being asked to okay almost half

Eventually, however, he agreed to prompt

expanding military establishment But he
warned the War Department that he would
hold the spenders strictly accountable for
every penny which Congress had handed out
in such fife-and- -drum-oorps tempo
When, few months later, he satisfied
himself that actual cost would exceed esti-
mates by 1888 ,000, ,0OO he decided the time
had come to keep his promise. Then began
one of the oldest and most quixotic investi-
cations which Capitol Hill has ever witnessed.
Rarely has there been such simple, swift
and economical inquiry into the expenditure
of almost billion dollars 1t is estimated that
Engel's findings and resultant reforms may
save the government millions of dollars
Extraordinary Expenditures
LET his sole investigative equipment con-
sisted of a battered 28-year-old postal-card-
size camera, a notebook, a pocketful of pencils
and the inexpensive family automobile. His
expense account shocked the General Ac-
counting Office: 1t totalled S238.47 for a 49,
day tour of cantonments in the East.
His one-man investigation was novel in
another respect: He subordinated partisan
ship. He dealt in facts rather than personali-
ties, political or military, and nobody has dis
puted his factual claims.
Most congressional investigators discharge
their duties leisurely and luxuriously But
not Hurry-Up Engel. This was his average
schedule: Driving sometimes 18 hours at a
stretch, he'd arrange to pull up at a camp be-

He Skipped Nothing
ANY disposition to humor or stall off the
inquisitor vanished after he triggered his
involved in building an Army cantonment.
He asked about labor wages and difficulties.
About the rental charge and condition of
equipment. The cost and quality and wastage
of materials. The price, acreage and former
owners of the land. Camp utilities The actual
cost against estimates. Contractors troubles
The reasons for delays. The cause of failure
to keep within appropriations.
When he had obtained a stranglehold on
these statistics, he toured the site again, first
with the construction officials, then alone,
swapping photographs of whatever seemed to
merit more intensive investigation.
Leaving the camp, he drove to the nearest
as breakfast and lunch. He spent a few hours
each evening in a poolroom or recreation
center. but not to play. He questioned camp
workers and soldiers. Thus he got an insight
into the problems and attitudes of the men
who had to build and occupy the canton
ments. They furnished him numerous leads
for inquiry at other places Around 10 o'clock
he climbed into his car and left for the next
job. On one trip he covered l.655 miles in
seven days, investigating five camps.
