At Excessive Prices
Be the Associated Press.

Be the Associated Press.
A report that the General Ac-
counting once was seeking return
Of $4,000 It held to be overpay-
ments in connection with shipbuild-
ing operations at Tampa, Fla, was
on file today with the Senate Com
mittee on Expenditures in Executive
Departments.
The GAO summarized its report
thus:
That the Maritime Commission
and the Tampa Shipbuilding Co.,
Inc, sold the Navy three uncom-
pleted hulls for prices aggregating
81 ,12s ,407.73 more than it would
have cost to complete the ships.
That the commission and the COM
pany, which was successor to the
Tampa Shipbuilding & Engineering
Co., accomplished in effect sale to
the Navy of the new companys con-
tracts for the construction of, and
materials on hand, of four other
vessels at prices aggregating $797.-
1904 in excess of their value.
TVtlUIldI CdiCS NIldI kCu.
That in effecting such sales, the
commission INDUCED in fictional
sales to the new company, appar-
emily organized for that purpose,
and that the new company in turn
consummated a sale OF the hulls
to the Navy. despite the fact that
title to the hulls was vested in the
commission under existing con-
tracts.
That from May 81, 1898, to April
Is, l94l. the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. loaned both the old and the
new company large sums of money
for operating capital and plant i'm
provements, during which time the
Maritime Commission, at the RIGS
demand, guaranteed the companies
debt to the RFC to the extent of
more than 100000 without law
full authority.
Unauthorized Spending.
That the Navy purchase of the
hulls In effect redeemed the old
company from its then insolvent
condition and redeemed the invest
ments Of the RFC, the commission
and the banks through unauthor-
lied expenditures by funds appro-
priated to the Navy.
That launching ceremony ex-
penses were paid from public funds.
That the Maritime Commission
failed to determine the amount of
any excess profits for recapture as
required by law, and that the use
OF the Navy appropriation alocated
for alterations to naval vessels for
the purchase of the uncompleted
hulls, was unauthorized.

FALL RIVER, Mass, June 16.-
Despite a War Labor Board au-
thorization to replace them with
new employees, 125 striking
changers and loomf1Xers at the
Arkwright Corp. mills voted to-
day not to return to work until
union representatives had con-
ferred with officials in Washing
ton.
In response to a telegram from
Chairman William H. Davis of the
War Labor Board, asking them to
come to Washington unless produc-
ton was resumed, James Tansey,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Textile Operatives, Qnde-
pendenD and officers of the Loom
f1Xers Union left for the Capital
this afternoon.
The q striking changers want a
pay raise of s303 to $35 for a 40
hour week. The SO loomflxerS
walked out in sympathy.
William F. Clark, manager of the
Fall River Office of the United
States Employment Service, called
in 20 loomf1xers after the WLB
order came through. Of these, II
reported but none went to work as
they were unable to do the particu-
lar type of job required.
The management said the mill
has been affected by the eight day
walkout to such a point that it was
possible to maintain limited opera
tion for only one more day.
Meanwhile, Saul Wallen, WLB
mediator, said the walkout already
had meant the loss of 125, 900 yards
of cloth scheduled for delivery. The
strikers had contended that only
5 per cent of the mill production
was war work but Mr.. Wallen in
sisted that, as of today, war pro-
duction amounted to 42 per cent
and that it would have reached
621a per cent by July 4.

During these times Of war. there
have been some changes In clothes

few pockets they have had.
I wonder whether mems suits will
lose any Of their pockets. Probably
there viii be little change in this

The suits I wear have the stand

trousers has five pockets, vest has
four pockets and coat has four
pockets. That makes a total Of 13.
In warm weather 4 man may
leave of his vest. but at other sea-
sons he usually needs all his pockets,
except maybe one. The one I could
get along without is the upper right
hand pocket Of the vest.
A man little knows what 1t means
to lose Z useful pocket until 1t hap
pens to him. While travelling, I had

The job was done well enough ex-

NATURES CHILDREN
JAPANESE MuLET
(Echinochlod trumentdced)

Millets are important agricultural
krasses. They we're named IN honor
Of DR.. j. A. Millet. a botanist OF the
early 18th century, who specialized
In grasses. Millet was originally
described as a native of India. but 1t
has been extensively cultivated IN
Japan since ancient days, and has
become known as Japanese millet.
However, authorities contend it Is
cultivated variety of barnyard mlllet.
In the United States this grass Is
important in New England and the
Northern tier of States because 1t
does we'll in cool regions. 1t IS a
summer or warnl-season. short-llVeo
annual. Where moisture Is scarce
this millet is able to grow and ma
ture in q short summer season.
Farmers consider miiiet good feed
for cattle, but 1t has long been re-
garded as injurious to horses. They
also contend that Japanese. .millet
seriously reduces the yield OF the
crop that follows. As it thriyes In
almost every part of the country 1t
Is one of the best-known grasses.
The weight Of seed of this millet per
bushel Is 1895 pounds, and there
are about 155.ooo seeds in q pound.
Twenty-Five to 80 pounds Is the
usual rate to SOW to the acre.
Though there are probably 5000
species Of grasses In the world, only
about 60 are important cultivated
plants and not more than 20 Wild
species are either abundant or
valuable in any one locality. One
can readily learn to recognize many
Of the grasses, both cultivated and
Wild. It is not necessary to have
any elaborate instruments for ex-
aiming them or to acquire any
detailed knowledge Of their struc-
lure.
Grasses are most important to US,
not only as forage crops for cattle,
but as soil protectors. Soil that Is
devoid Of grass is blown away.
Corn, sugar cane and bamboo are.
Is you know, important members OF
the grass family.
Grasses are recognized by several
peculiar characteristics. The roots
Sf all grasses, whether perennial or
annual, are slender and threadlike.
The stems are jointed, mostly eylin'
