Costing 4x5OO

By the Associated Press.
A story OF how a second -hand
truck bought for $4,000 returned
SO. .36l O5 to its owner through Gov
ernment rentals, was related by the
House Military Affairs Committee
in its report on War Department
contracts yesterday.
The committee said that Mrs.
Amanda Coors Elliott leased the 2S-
ton Autocar truck to Silas Mason
Co.. New York City contractor. for
a shell loading plant near Minden,
La, for s850.73 month. Mrs. Elliott.
the committee continued, was the
wife of Arthur J. Cote. a former
superintendent of transportation for
the contractor.
The truck. the report said. sold
new for $1,000. but was purchased
secondhand by Mr.. Cote for s4,500

fusion, the Government as of April
l, was induced to pay total rental
of $9,36105,' before the committee
reported the incident to the Justice

RoOseVelt'S Memory

In past years when the President received the first poppy from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, opening their annual fund-raising drive for widows and phans of ex-servce he took great delight in show ing the little girls who presented the poppes china donkey and elephant his desk, and asking them which they liked best
 Sometimes, to the embarrassment of VFW officials the tots chose the elephant This year chances taken. Geraldine Reynolds fve-year-old orphan of an AEF veteran, carefully coached to point to the donkey But Geraldine didn't get chance to show her political astuteness The President perhaps for reasons of national unity didn't put her the spot Instead he gave VFW officials something else to talk about-a demonstration of his remarkable memory.
 When little Geraldine was perched on his desk for picture the President demurred "Oh, no, that's the way posed when got poppy last year Suppose you stand down here besides to make 1t different this year

Postmaster General Lax In Allow
 ing Seditious Matter Co Thru Mails

WASHINGTON - It looks as if the President will have to give Postmaster General Frank Walker the same dose of personal prodding that finally snapped Attorney General Francis Riddle out of his gazing lethargy and started him cracking down on seditious operators.
 A venomous flood of Axis propaganda is daily go- ing through the mails It is secret. Walker knows all about it. For weeks he has been bombarded with complains from outragng citizens demanding that this subversive activity be stopped
 The Postal Inspection Service knows all about it. The oldest and of the most efficient seuthing agencies in the government, the Inspection Service is itching to move in.
 But with one exception, Walker has done nothing. The exception The Galiean, publication put out by William Dudley Policy Silver Shirt leader recent paper finally was barred from the mails, but only af- ter strong official pressure on Walker
 But the several hundred other sedtous publications continue to have free access to the U S. mails to spread their vicious Axis lies and poison Among the worst of them a number of foreign language papers edit ed by alien FasciStS who under investigation by the FBI If he needed any information on them, Walker could get it in few minutes by a telephone call few blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue from his huge. or nate office But to date Walker hasn't done a thing to halt this sinister flood of enemy propaganda
 During the World War not only were such publca- tiOns barred from the mails but the Post Office De- partmen obtained the willing cooperation of express companies to refuse to carry any matter banned bV the Department.
 Walker is of the most genial officials in Wash ngton But he is noted for either initiative or force funess He never does anything that might disturb the peace of his easygoing daily routine of running government department that runs itself

More Needed For
Radios For Ships,
Tanks, Airplanes

Residents of western North
Carolina are urged by James E.
MacDougall, Carolinas manager
of the War Production Board, to
seek out deposits of quartz crys-
tai. There is believed to be some
OF this in Ashe and Allegheny
counties.
I'VE must have quartz crystal
osciliators for use in radio sets
for tanks, airplanes and Ships"
said Mr.. MacDougall, land yet
our imports are threatened be-
cause of Interruptions to shipping.
Brazil has been our largest
source of supply, but biologists
have discovered that extensive
deposits exist in western North
Carolina"
AS much as $4,000 ton is paid
for certain crystals, and persons
locating deposits will not only
profit themselves but will also
help the war effort. Anyone
knowing of available crystals
should communicate at once with
the Miscellaneous Minera
Branch, War Production Board,
Temporary "R", Washington, D.
C.
In order to be satisfactory for
radio purposes, each individual
quartz crystal must weigh half
pound or more. Crystals must
be water clear, and at least 80
percent of each crystal by volume
must be free from cracks, bub-
bles, fractures, veins, flaws and
needles. The greater the usabil-
ity of the specimen, the more de-
sirable it is, because specimens
from which only a few oscillator
plates can be cut are expensive
to work.
The crystals taken from the
ground in Brazil are very often
trimmed with an ordinary ham
mer. This trimming operation
removes the cloudy, milky white
portions at the base of the crys-
tai, and also removes broken and
fractured areas. The object of
trimming such a crystal is to
make the remaining portion 80
percent disable or better.
The prices paid for satisfac-
tory quartz crystals are based on
the weight of the crystal and the
disability of the crystal. Crys-
tails having disability of so per
cent or more bring the highest
price; crystals having a disability
of from As per cent to so per cent
bring a somewhat lower price;
and crystals having a disability of
from 80 per cent to As per cent
yield the lowest price. The
clear, trimmed parts of the crys-
tai must be subjected to the po-
larizing bath test to determine
the extent of tWinning in each
individual piece, since material
which contains large amounts of
twinning is not satisfactory for
making radio oscillators.
Prices vary from $500 a ton for
the smallest low-grade crystals
up to $4,000 ton for large ones
of so per cent and better usabil-
;ty.
The Government needs hun
dreds of tons of this material, and
the high prices are a direct re-
