SERIOUS DEVELOPMENT

One possibly serious develop
ment was = Japanese claim that
new landings" have been made
on BatAan. This might put a
Japanese force ashore In the
province behind Macarthur
northern lines.
The communique Friday
said that Macarthur In receiv-
ing many reports from Jap
anese occupied areas Of sys-
tematic lcoting and devasta-
tiou.
II appeared that Macarthur Is
receiving regular and fairly fun
reports of conditions behind the
Japanese lines. indicating he has
left behind him an excellent sys-
tenn Of espionage which may be
keeping him informed Of japanese
military plans as they develop.

The failure Of the communique
to state whether MacArthur's

that the Japanese have had some
success in their attack upon the

forces.

claimed that = fierce attack on

that one corner Of MacArthur's
lines has been destroyed by deter

tUNAt9u kE11H Nt8H V1kke4RtUMUOMV
 washington, March. 24 -- tuPO .-SJhairiman Carl VinsSn, D., Ca, of House Naval Affairs CommltGee to- day called Army and Navy officials Co explain their dealings with a Cleveland war plant that paid It's pwesident's private secretary 12B,- 000- -a-yeag and treated its employees Co watches, 9l00 bills, free ansur- ance policies and lavish dinner par. ties.
 Vinson dld not set . date for their appearance.
 Yesterday the committee heard executives and employees of Jack and Heinz Inc, which holds e60,- 0OO, 900 worth of government cone tracts for making airplane starters.
 The nature of the contracts WIS not nude clear in the testimony but they appeared to be negotiated agreements providing for . unit price of $500 each for starters made for the Navy and sAe6 for the Army, The Navy, it was explained, didn't buy aS many as the Army. Commit tee counsel Edmund II. Toland said the company's books showed the cost of making the starter was S270.
 Toland also produced payroll hg- ures which showed that the com. pany paid out 9e40,6e0 in bonuses in l04l. It would have made 100 per cent profit, he said, were 1t not for the large salaries of executives, biz bonuses, free lunches and free entertainment for employees.
 He said the navy had reported that it was unable to obtain com. petitive bids on the starter because of the firms exclusive patents and that the company had refused to lower its prices.
 William s. Jack, founder of the company, testified that the firm holds no patents but has applied for some.
 Here are the highlights of nearly five hours of testimony:
 Jack said he started his company in 1889 with c Si00,000 investment but claimed he had spent tb00,000 in research and development. He said in ie4i he drew &l46,ebA in salaries and bonuses.
 Tn addition to bonuses, each of the firms 1900 workers received late in l040 6 watch, Q ei00 bill, and 0 92,600 insurance policy. on the last Saturday of each month, the company gave dinner party for It's workers ct the Garter Hotel in Cleveland which Jack estimated cost around @ Q plate.
 The company, he said, had Q closed shop contract with It's work. CTS under which they worked two i2-hour shifts. For the first eight hours they were paid straight time. For the next four, time and Q half, All time over 12 hours as well as Saturday work drew double pay.
 Harry D. Yoxtheimer, assistant controller, who formerly worked for the Army Air Corps ct Dayton, Q. for $500 and e2,3o0 Q year, said the company hired him at @, 800 and later he received increases to e4,. 200 and 94,80O. After he had worked for A0 days he received Q ell 900 bonus. He told the committee he was taken by surprise"
 Adeline Bowman, the firms pri- vate secretary, testified that her salaries and bonuses for lo4t to- taled s3o,36e and she has received Sle,2ob 50 for this year. Her salary was raised from 46,000 0 year to S26 900 in December, 1o4l, payroll records showed.

Little Smoky Had The Medals But His Story Wouldn't Jell

made police still more curious. Prescott claimed to have won one decoration in 1917, but military records showed 1t had not been established until 1918. He said he won his wings with the First Pur- suit Squadron of the R.AF. in the last war, yet several Saint John men who had served with that unit said they had not heard of him.
 Smoky Scrammed
 Further questioning by police broke down his self-assurance. He said he had enlisted in the Cana dian Army, had been stationed ct Debert, N. S., and recently had been discharged as physically unfit. The little pseudo-hero admitted having bought his medals in his travels.
 Police arrested him and charged him with having tinlawfully worn the DEC. and the wings of the R.AF., an offense punishable by e fine of $3oo or 12 months inprison fnent.
 Thoroughly frightened, the little stoker pleaded guilty. The nagis- trate, more amused than angered at the little mans bargain hunting for heroisin, handed down only lone years suspended sentence, provided you leave town imine- diately."
