To Push u. ). Toward

Defense Corporation Signs
Contract With Alcoo
For New Factories
"A. P. Wirephotos.

AS part of a program to increase
the aluminium productive capacity
of the United States to l 500, 900 600
pounds annually within the next Is
months, the Defense Plant Corp. has
entered into a contract with the
Aluminium Co. of America for the
construction of three plants with a

The Defense Plant Corp. also is
considering the construction of
other plants with an aggregate
capacity of 26O,000,0O0 pounds, to
be built and operated by other man
ufactures, Mr.. Jones also revealed.
The contract with the Aluminium
Company of America calls for the
construction of one plant near Mas
sena, N. Y, with a capacity of l50,-
100000 pounds; second in the
vicinity of Bonneville Dam, with
a capacity of 90,O00,000 pounds, and
a third in Arkansas, with capacity
of 10O,000,000 pounds. The contract

Loaded Bids
Hit in Report
To'Congress
Nearly Even Division
OfWork Among Four
Contractors Cited
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The District governments
method of seeking bids and max
ing contracts for highway work
was sharply criticized IN a Spe-
cial report to Congress by Con-
troller General Lindsay Warren,
which came to light today when
1t was referred to the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
The report spoke of unbalanced"
or loaded" bids, and questioned the
validity of the Districts highway
contracts on the ground of uncer-
tainty.
Investigation disclosed" the re-
port stated, that inadequate, in
accurate and overstated estimates
have been and are being used in
requesting bids for the repair and
improvement of streets and high
ways; namely, that bids are asked
and received on far more items and
quantities of materials and work
than are expected to be, and then
are furnished and performed. AS an
example, bids may be asked on so
items of materials and work, while
usually not more than Is or 80 of
such items are furnished.
Even Division Among Contractors.
Such practice has resulted in
the submission, receipt and accept
ance of unbalanced or loaded bids.
Confirmation thereof is found in
the fact that during the period
from February Is, 1887, to July II,
1910, there was close to an even
division of work between the four
principle contractors engaged in the
improvement and repair of streets
and highways in the District of
Columbia"
The report then listed the amount
of contracts received annually be-
tween 1887 and 1910 by each of the
four contractors referred to in the
report. The figures were sum-
married for the four-year period as
follows:
Corsum g. Gruman-Bids. St; con-
tracts, 20; total, ST 1929 ,l06

tracts, IA: total, $l,292,074

Other Criticisms Made.
The report also criticized the Dis
trict's method of regulating ''over-
run" work in the contracts, and
concluded with this statement:
The practices herein reported
are not deemed to be to the best
interest of the District of Columbia
or the United States, and, accord
ingly, should be brought to the at
tention of the Congress"

MOSCOW. Aug. 2O-The Red
Army has launched a sharp new
series of counterattacks against the
Germans in the central sector, the

Novgorod, an ancient walled town
100 miles south of Leningrad.
Red Star said aviation, artillery,
tanks and infantry combined in
pressing the central counterattacks,
with the Germans driven out of first
lines and routed anew as they tried
to entrench in rearward lines.
The paper said the Russians
forced a river crossing and battled
the Germans for third line positions

men who forced the Germans to sur
render, it said.

base at the southwest tip of Fin

assaults and occupied a series OF
nearby islands with counterattacks

Jesse Jones, Federal loan ad-
ministrator. said this afternoon
he was prepared to lend money
to Russia to finance war supply
purchases in this country.
Mr.. Jones said a loan to Russia
was more likely than lend-lease aid,
once Russia runs out of cash to pay
for purchases. He said he did not
know how long the Soviets' cash
WOULD last
If the administration policy is to
help Russia and she is unable to pay
cash." Mr.. Jones said, Il think We
(the Federal loan agency which in
cludes the Reconstruction Finance
Corp can find some way to help.
Il think it would be a loan,
rather than lend-lease."
Russia, he added, has not made
formal application for a loan but
apparently has hinted. Asked di-
rectly whether Russia has applied
for credit, Mr.. Jones smiled and re-
piled, Not exactly"
Asked by reporters what collat-
eral Russia could give for a loan,
be said he assumed the United
States would have to take Russia s
promiSSory note. He added that
Russia had one of the smallest debts
of any of the major powers.
