die the main portion of salvaging

it almost impossible for a man to

Mr.. Engel said that the progress
report of June Is, 1912, on the
building showed the cost would be
$50 ,319, while the progress re-
port of August 81 showed that the
cost would be $49, 1874 ,440, or approx
imately $4,000, 600 less.
1T is the latter figure that Gen.
Somervea gives as the cost of the

He argued that the progress re-
port on August 81 did not include
items included in the June IS re-
port, totaling more than $1l ,000, 900,
which were then considered a part
of the project-terracing the land

Misleading Statement
On Cost Of peniagon
Laid 10 SomerveII
EngeI Says General
FoiIed to Explain
'Certuin Fucts'

Representative Engel, Republican
of Michigan today charged that It.
Gen. Brehon B. Somervell's state
ment on the cost of the new War
Department Building in Arlington
was misleading both to the public
and to members of Congress. The
Congress member recently claimed
the cost of constructing the huge
project was double the original esti-
mates.
Representative Engel's charge to-
day was in reply to letter by Gen.
Somervel to Representative Wood
rum, Democrat, of Virginia. At that
time Gen. Somervell claimed that
the public and Congress had been
kept informed of the progressive
costs of the building.
Gen. Somervell's statement is
particularly misleading in that it
fails to explain why the net Office
space of the building was reduced
from 100000 square feet to $780,
$50 square feet while the gross space
was increased from 100000 square
feet to 5,776,352 square feet and

public to believe that the project
cost would be below $50, ,000, 900
when as matter of fact it will ex-
ceed $4,000, ,O00?" Representative
Engel asked.
Mr.. Engel stated that the access
roads, bridges, rights of way and
parking areas still cost over $20,-
000, 900 on a project that was limited
by the House to $35, ,00O, 900 includ-
ing the $1,000, 900 to convert the
Hoover airport to a parking area
and which the House instructed
Gen. Somervell to absorb in the
$35 600 900 cost. He pointed out that
this included the $8,641,416 spent
for the purpose by Gen. Somervell
and the 1884 900 spent for that
purpose by the Public Roads Divi-
sion. and, according to them,
chargeable to the project.
Mr.. Engels new statement said
the ventilating and heating plant
of the building cost in excess of So
100000 or nearly Is per cent of the
original cost of the entire project as
proposed to the committee.
Says Special Fund Used.
He asserted that Gen. Somervell
stated in his letter to the Speaker
that $14,25O,00O came out of unused
funds the War Department had but
did not state that the $14,250, 900
was coming out of the Presidents s
special fund nor that 100000 was
being taken from the defense high
way fund.
Representative Engel said today
that he had no intention to prolong
a controversy and that his sole pur-
pose was to give the facts to Con-
gress and to the public.

Two contests far overShadowed
all the others in state and national

In one, c. Wayland Brooks, anti

and a cruSading isolationist before
Pearl Harbor, sought reelection In
the face of bitter attacks by his
Democratic opponent, Rep. Ray

erful Kelly-Nash Democratic or

Also at stake was the seat of
CongreSsman-at large Stephen A.
Day, COP candidate to succeed
himself, with former state Rep.
Ben s. Adamowski opposing him.
Like Brooks, Day was noted for
unvarying opposition to American
involvement in the war prior to
