WPB Furnishes Contractor
Who Built Chandler Pool

The War Production Board today
took punitive action against a
Louisville building materials firm for
having constructed a swimming
pool on the estate of Senator
Chandler, Democrat, of Kentucky,
last summer.
The action was invoked against
the Colonial Supply Co., Louisville,
and the WPB announcement said
that Senator Chandler himself had
no responsibility for the violation
of the WPB order. j"
The WPB order denied all priority
assistance for period of three
months to the company and said no
ALLEGATIONS of materials will be made
to the firm.
Became Political Issue.
The swimming pool became an
issue in Kentucky politics during
the summer. i and the Senate Defense
Investigating Committee made an
inquiry. The committee report, filed
July Is. cleared Senator Chandler
Of the charges made by his rival for
the Democratic nomination that he
had accepted a $4,000 swimming
pool as recompense for obtaining
Government contracts for Ben H.
Collins, Louisville contractor. The
charges were made by former Rep
resentative John Young Brown.
Mr.. Ceilings categorically denied
Mr.. Browns charges" the report
said. He stated that on no occa-
sion had Senator Chandler, either
gratuitously or otherwise, interceded
in his behalf, directly or indirectly,
to- obtain any contracts involving
Government work for any of the
companies in which he had f1nan-
cial interest, and that he had
never approached Senator Chandler
directly or indirectly to solicit his
assistance in obtaining such con-
tracts"
Senator Chandler led Mr.. Brown
in the primary by more than sc, 900
votes.
Details of Suspension.
The WPB named B. H. Ceilings
and Bess H. Ceilings as partners
controlling the Arm. The WPB sus-

Women Requested
To Knit Sweaters
| Only When Needed

Word has been received by Mrs.
s. r. Mathews, Pinal county Red
Cross chairman. from r. r. Guthrie
chief OF the textiles. clothing and
leather goods branch. War Pro
duction Board. stating that the
board does not want a broad wave
of knitting that will consume mil
lions OF pounds of wool that is
needed for more essential pur-
poses.
1T is our opinion that the aver
age soldier and sailor is adequately
clothed by the government and
doesn't need additional clothing,
Mr.. Guthrie said: There are ex-
ccptions. however. Our boys in
Iceland can make good use of
additional clothing. The same may
be true OF soldiers sent into the
field on long campaigns. However,
the War Production Board does not
want women to knit sweaters un-
less absolutely needed by the arm
ed forces, and where the command
ing officers ask for the supplies.
Because of this, system has
been set up with the Red Cross.
whereby an officer needing these
supplies will apply to Red Cross
officials. who will arrange for the
sweaters TO be knitted. I'm this
way" says Mr. Guthrie; every
sweater knitted will serve a good
purpose and there will be no waste
OF material"
