Front reports said Zaporozhe was
q "veritable wilderness" Of wreck
age when the Russians moved in.
The newspaper Izvestia said that in
two years Of war such "monstrous
devastation" had not been encoun-
tered.
There was no trace Of the city's
great metallurgical works, substa-
tions, or the famous Dnieproges
hydrolectric plant built by the
American, Colonel Hugh Cooper,
which harnessed the Dnieper waters
to supply power to thousands Of
square miles In the Ukraine.
Before retreating in l941 the
Russians blew up the famous two
mile long dam and flooded an area
Of hundreds Of miles, enabling the
Red Army to hold up the German
advance and eXtricate the bulk Of
their forces. ;VHSI

DNB acknowledged the fall of Ia
porozhe IN a dispatch asserting that
the city had been evacuated after
Nazi troops blew up the Dnieproges

a Dunkirk.
Fate OF Kiev
The fate Of Kiev was being decid-
ed in big battles raging north and
south Of the Ukrainian capitay. The
Germans counter attacked at reg
ular intervals in an attempt to re-
gain lost positions, but were thrown
back. More than 5000 Germans
were killed and IS tanks wrecked.
Some 140 miles 70 the north, front
dispatches reported the Russians
were advancing through the north
err, southern and southeastern sub
urbs Of Gomel along streets lined
with flaming buildings.
The Germans sacrificed more
than 1900 of their Gomel troops In
futile attempts TO throw the Rus
slams back across the Sozh river.
Gomel is the key to the southeast

bars the road to Poland and the
Baltic states.
Zaporozhe, one Of the most i'm
portant German strongholds on the
lower Dnieper and an important
pre-war industrial center. was cap

many more troops than Britain and
America ever have thrown into one
operation, and will most certainly
not be attempted until it can be
carried out successfully.
1t is as difficult to maintain TO-
600 men across the water on a heav-

be to supply 100000 troops on. an

However, nobody in Moscow Is

favor of the Allies probably has
speeded up preparations for the

Bad weather closed in over the

saved Rabaul from greater destruc-

Observers believed, however, that
the actual results of the raid were

officially, and suggested that its

This victory, coupled with the
Allied ground drive on New Guinea

said. Such move would leave the

Text of Jesse Jones' Letter to Senator Glass

/ has been acquired under programs
initiated since BEW entered the
field. April 13, 1912, and that of
81 800 900, 900 in foreign materials
already paid for by RFC less than
per cent has come from such pro-
grams; and this after IS months
during which time BEW has fran
tically sent at great expense many
missions" con- posed of inexperi-
enced men to all parts of the world.
Furthermore, the 10 per cent init
lated since BEW entered the field
would have been undertaken any
way by RFC under recommended
tions of the War Production Board,
which is the planning and policy
making agency of the Government
for war production and the pro-
curement Of strategic materials and
from which agency BEW gets rec
Commentators for which it gives
RFC directives.
In the war effort RFC functions
as service agency, and not as a
war policy making agency. RFC
acts on recommendations of the
President, War Production Board
and its predecessor agencies. the
State, War and Navy Departments,
the rubber director, the Maritime
Commission, the petroleum co-ordi-
nator for war and the Board of
Economic Warfare.
A very significant thing in this
controversy is the fact that not one
of these agencies has had reason to
complain, nor has any except BEW
ever complained of RIGS perform
involved the authorization of eX-
penditures of more than $20000,-
100000.
RFC began foreign purchases in
the summer of 1910 and has COM
piled efficiently and speedily with
every request made of it by the
President or any war policy making
agency.
Attention Called to Errors.
Because of the nature of some of
the directiveS from BEW, some of
the trades they make and contracts
they prepare for execution by RFC
agencies. without consulting RFC,
it has been necessary to call their
attention to errors and poor prac-
tees in some of the contracts. Their
reluctance to admit anything but
infallibllity has sometimes required
a few DAYS to make the necessary
corrections, and sometimes they re-
fuse, but no delay in any important
material has been ocCasloned by
RFC agencies.
RFC has always believed. and
after years of experience now be-
lieves more strongly than ever. that
the maximum production and pro-
curement of materials can be OBJ
tanned, in minimum of time and
at minimum of expense. without
resorting to methods bordering on
the hysterical.

metal were agreed on in February,
l943. The final contract. however,
was only submitted by BEW to RFC
in June, 1943. although it did not
substantially depart from the terms
originally agreed on.
PERUVIAN OVER ALL AGREE
MENT.
The overall agreement between
the Peruvian government and RFC
relative TO the purchase of strategic
materials from Peru expired on Sep
tember Is, 1912 BEW was unwilling
10 leave the RFC the negotiation Of
a renewal of this agreement BEW
undertook TO do so. They are ap-
parently still negotiating because the
renewal has not vet been signed.
Evening star., 1943-07-06

The foreign purchase program of
the RFC has been conducted under
| the personal direction of w. l..
Clayton, who has had wide expert
ence in the field of foreign trade
for many years. He has been as
sisted by number of competent
men, among them G. Temple Bridg-
man, executive vice president of
Metals Reserve Co.. who has been a
leading figure for many years in the
metals trade, both in this country
and abroad.
RFC has felt, and it has learned,
that production is best brought out
! and handled through established
and experienced agencies, and not
by sending great groups of mex
perienced men to overrun foreign
countries. A few well-selected men,
under proper leadership, can ac-
complish much more in foreign
countries, utilizing the citizens of
such countries as much as possible,
than scores of our own people hastily
brought together and sent abroad
with little knowledge of what they
are to Go or of the country to which
they are sent.
While generous prices are desir-
able and often necessary in the war
effort, lavish prices do not always
increase production. Our immedi-
ate efforts in the foreign field
should be concentrated on war pro-
curement needs. and not on pc stWar
ideologies. Furthermore, it is the
unspectacular rather than the spec
tacular methods, and the quiet
rather than the noisy approach,
which accomplish the most.
Mr.. Wallace speaks of sending a
hundred men to Brazil alone. on a
single program 1t is our belief that
those hundred men, hastily recruited
as they were, and with little or no
familiarity with the work they were
10 do, have done little more than get
in each others way and substitute
confusion for order. That program
would be in better shape today if
most of those hundred men had
stayed at home.
If the policy of the RFC in deal
ing with private business at home
and abroad, when possible, subjects
me TO Mr.. WallaCe'S criticism, that
cannot be helped. 1t is my belief
that Government should seek to pre-
serve private business. use it Wher-
ever possible in the war effort and
operate directly only when neces-
Sary
The statements made by Mr.. Wal
lace and Mr. Perkins before the Sen
ate Banking and Currency Commit
tee in December, 1912, and to which
the former again refers, were at that
time shown to be unjustified and
some of them untrue. My answer Is
contained in the hearings of that
committee. NV detailed reply to his
present accusations is attached.
Evening star., 1943-07-06

The Presidents executive order
9l28 gave BEW authority to issue
directives to the RFC with respect
to foreign purchases. That Mr.. Wal
laces own order No. S, issued while
the President was In Casablanca,
has equal force, is open to serious
question.
Under Mr.. Wallace's order No. 5,
officials of the RFC are allegedly
given no choice but to sign, without
question or inquiry, any contract
OF make any commitment which
BEW negotiates and prepares and
gives directive for. regardless Of
the terms and conditions of the con-
tract or the extent of the Govern
ment obligation assumed.
Directors Ability Praised.
The RFC and its operations are
we'll known to Congress. 1t is BIZ
partisan by law and in its admins
tration It's directors are men of
character, experience and ability.
They are appointed by the Presi-
dent and confirmed by the Senate.
Their duties and responsibilities
cannot be properly discharged by
signing blank checks or executing
without careful examination of con-
tracts that commit the Government
for hundreds of millions of dollars.
The directives RFC receives from
BEW are signed by Milo Perkins,
Morris Rosenthal or Arthur Paul
At the pleasure of Mr.. Wallace they
NAV be signed by any employe of
BEW whom Mr.. Wallace designates.
These directives are not consid-
cred or approved by the members
of the Board of Economic Warfare
The members know very little of
BEW operations. To my knowledge,
and l am member of the board,
few, II any. purchase or develop
ment contracts have been consid-
cred at board meetings, much less
formally approved by the board.
AS for the charge which Mr.. Wal
lace appears to regard as ma jor
crime, that l have attempted 10
safeguard the taxpaye;s money, l
must plead guilty. Squandering the
peoples money even in wartime Is
no proof OF patriotism. The kFC
does not pay 81 Tor something 1t can
buy for 81. Maybe no one does. out
the point is that Soma men know
when YOU can oIV i. for 81. some
don't know. and some don't care as
long as they are spending other
peoples money.
1t takes long time and lot of
hard work TO build an or@aniza lion
Of men who are competent 10 trade
and to handle vast sums OF r. oney
properlv-particularly public money.
The RFC has such an organization
and I am proud OF It.
l Will appreciate vou placing This
letter and my accompanying state
ment in the official record.
