Senate Is Expected
To Revise Bill Endjno
War Contract Fees
By the As; ociated Press.

Rising opposition to a House
passed measure outlawing brokers'
fees on all Government contracts
increased today the likelihood that
it would undergo sharp modification
in the Senate.
The measure grew out of hearings
before the House Naval Affairs
Committee, during which four firms

the bill had encountered in it's pres
ent form, and said that it probably
would be greatly modified" after his
committee had consulted Govern
ment department heads and some of
the manufacturers at hearings to
begin in about 10 days.
Senator Walshs office said he had
received large amount of mail
from persons opposed to the legisla-
tion, and reported that the chief OBJ
lection came from small manufac-
turers who. unable to afford personal
representatives here in ordinary
times, obtained Government con-
tracts by paying agents on a COM

comfort to the enemy" Mr.. Ickes
replied:
I'm my view, it has. I am only
asked for my own opinion. 1t not
only has, but is continuing to do it."
When reporter inquired how
do you feel about the prosecution of
the Chicago Tribune?" Mr.. Ickes
said:
We'll, I think that any one that
gives aid and comfort to the enemy,
regardless of wealth and standing,

I Oil Firms 10 Pool
War Products Data
Program Urged to Speed
PIone Cos Output, Save
Critical Materials
By the Associated Press.

N~
Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes to-
day authorized seven companies to
pool certain technical data involved
In production of aviation gasoline
and other war products, and simul-
taneously urged that such pooling
of information be accepted as q
policy by the petroleum industry.
The policy would result, he ex-
planned, in speedup in output of
aviation gas, toluene and other
products and, at the same time, in
crease conservation of critical ma
terials used in construction OF
processing and refining plants.
The seven ompanies-Shell De-
velopment Co., Standard Catalytic
Co., Standard Oil Development Co.,
Texaco Development Corp, Stand
ard Oil Co. of Indiana, Universal Oil
Products Co., the M. w. Kellogg Co.
and their respective aff1liates-were
authorized to negotiate cross license
and licensing agreements which will
make their patented processes avail
able to the entire oil industry.
The companies must agree to re-
duce royalty rates materially when
ever the processes are used to pro-
duce war products. @s'"''@'
Mr.. Ickes said the exchange of
technical information would enable
the oil industry to make possible
the largest saving OF critical mate
rails in new construction. the max
imum utilization of existing facili-
ties, the most efficient design or
adaptation of plants to produce
war products, and the quickest pro-
curement of required amounts Of
such products"
Data Available to OPC.
Individuals and companies would
make their processes available In
detail to the OPC when asked to do
so. II OPC finds that certain proc
esses or designs controlled by one
company can improve the process
or plant design used by another
manufacturer of essential petroleum
var products, the information will
be made available to the second
company.
Mr.. 1ckes also recommended that
any litigation over the processes be
postponed until after the war. All
royalty rates will be subject to OPC
approval.

PROGRESS

It took a war to do it. but the Government is finally beginning to clamp down on some of the useless gadgets that Americans have been spending their hard-eaned nckels on for good reason.
 The War Production Board has ordered that pinball machines may be manufactured after May 1 and the same date it settled the doom of ''juke boxes" and weighing and other amusement chimes
 It seems to us that the War Production Board should have stamped out some of this industry long ago. Vital war industries have been starving for want Of copper aluminium, nickel and stainless steel all used in producing machines to part the foolish from their nickels.
 We have no figures telling how many "juke boxes" were allowed to be manufactured since De- cember ' But here are some figures do have:
 A single one of the larger automatic photographs contains enough brass to make 750 cartridge cases
 The aluminium in 125 of the larger "juke boxes would make one fighter plane!
 The steel in of these machines totals 130 pounds enough to make five light machine guns
 Into such nickel clutcher go 42 pounds of pastics which could just well be 42 pounds of installation pieces-contro panels and other sories--on army navy planes
 This isn't taking into account the vast amount of labor that goes into manipulating the controls of a full-fledged pinball machine An expert out shimmy Gida Gray while he's attempting to steer the little metal ball into the right pocket.
 It has been estimated that if the entire amuse- ment machine industry converted to pro duction, it's annual output would be approximately sl5OOOO0oo worth of materials. And it would also probably that such amount in nickels will be saved by the American public help pay it's income tax next year

WHITE HOUSE GUARDS

The tragic killing of an FBI agent by two Army deserters in Virginia recently had an important repereussio1 which has not been ad- vertised.
 The incident caused a shakeup in the military guard of the White House.
 What only a few insiders know is that the two deserters had served as White House ;entries for some time At that time no effort was made to investigate the background and character of soldiers detailed for this duty. Those assigned by the unit were accepted without question.
 However, since the killing of the FBI man, and the startling discov- cry that the slayers formerly were detailed to guard the President, there has ben a sweeping change in regulations The Secret Service now makes a minute investigation of every soldier who patrols the White House grounds.
