Detroiter Hits
At Politicians
In Fees Case
Charges They Tried
TO Cut In on'Wer
Job Commissions

One of three Detroiters named
Saturday in the report OF the
House military affairs COMMITTEES
as having received "scandalous"
on war contracts,
dashed back with charges that
politicians had tried TO cut In"
on his business and had threatened
to EXPOSE him."
The Detroiter, Glenn w. Van
Syoc, said:
"One OF these politicians In
timated that this investigates
could be stopped IL I wanted -
play ball. 1 won't pay off any
one and I turned the entire af.
fair over TO Undersecretary 81
War Patterson and the United
States military intelligence de-
partment." II
SI,8I5,366 in Fees
The House committee report
showed payments of 81 ,815,3 C6 10
% individuals and firms. 1t listed
payment of S98,705 to Van Syd1
who has offices at 1920 General
Motors Building. Van Syoc re-
piled that after paying expenses
he netted only $4,000. -s
The two other Detroiters named
in the report are ]. A. Smith of De-
troit who received S44870 and
n. II. Wilson, A,740. Neither
man could be reached for CONF
ment.
Asserting that he was person.
ally opposed to the payment 81
commissions, Van Syoc contended
4 that the firm which operates under
his name is an engineering-nan-
agement company and operates
only on a fee basis.
Explains Operations
/
He explained that his firm
makes a contract with the Cow
eminent to supply certain item.
His engineers then find firm ca.
pable of turning out that product,
place the contract with that firm
and help the firm to fill it. For
this work he receives fixed fee.
I'VE arrange contracts, hnanc-
ing and sometimes manage
ment." he said. "My men line mp
machinery for the companies
after they have the contract and
frequently supervise inftial
stages Of production. These fel-
lows have to he smart---ln fact,
smarter than the officials of the
company. IL they weren't the
companies would have known
how to get the contracts them
selves. That's obvious.
I've a STAFF of about III men
at all times-all of them engi-
neers and technicians," he said.
II pay some OF my men as high
as $1,000 a month. Car mileage
alone amounts to better than
5000 miles per week.

on those three contracts they're
screaming about"

civilian users have little chance Of
obtaining steel, the magazine Steel
reported today.
'It is believed that capacity is
sufficient to meet armament needs
and also provide considerable ton
mage for non-war use. This belief
rests on the assumption that facili-
ties for fabricating steel into ships.
combat tanks and munitions are not
sufficient to take the entire output
indefinitely" the trade publication
continued in its weekly review.
Inability to obtain sufficient raw
material, principally scrap, for peak
steel production is cutting into the
total possible otherwise, but this cut
falls first on civilian supplies and
will not affect war needs until it has
progressed much farther than is ex-
pected."
