their daily routine.
In forty-eight hours jim was able to 20 to his
own room, get dressed and sit around with the
patients at different points in their comeback. In
the last few hours he had done a lifetime of
reckoning. He knew he had come to the fork in
the road where he had to choose between drinking
and dissolution on the one hand and abstinence
and recovery the other. He realized now that
he could not stop his drinking without help. For
the first time he was willing to accept it.
With this first important turn in his thinking
the real process OF his healing began.
Jim remained in the hospital for a month dur
ing which his body was fortified with daily diet
rich in vitamins Each day he was interviewed by
the psychiatrist. Little by little Jim was taken
back in memory to his earliest recollections and
then up again to the present. With the help his
wife was able to give his history was pieced to-

Roscoe H. Hupper, counsel for
the Luckenbach Steamship Co. de-
Tending the 1941 Red Sea voyages
of American owned ships against
accusations of "unconscionable"
profits, said yesterday the profit
figures did not reflect depreciation
and taxes, and whatever the profits
were, they did not remain long in
the hands of the shipowners.'

so to 10 per cent of the profits from
the venture, Mr.. Hupper said, "The

'If I am told on what theory ship
owners should deviate from a fair

Hupper said, he would be willing to
discuss readjustment but added Il

Mr. Hupper said the lines involved
did not seek the Red Sea charters
but acceded to the request of the
Maritime Commission to undertake
the assignments carrying urgent war
materials to Africa after rates were
proposed by the commission and
agreed to by the owners.
The rates agreed on were much
less than the then going" rate for
the same service, and the vessels in

their normal service, could have
earned much more in easier and
much less hazardous service, he said.

EDITORS NOTE: In the fol-
lowing dispatch written for the
United Press. Attorney General
Francis Biddle directs attention
In results obtained under the new
practice of prosecuting war frauds
during, instead of after, the war.
Indictments have been returned
against about 200 persons and 35
companies and S25,O0O,000 has

dorses the Hobbs bill to classify
as sabotage the wiful manufac-
ture or sale to the government of
defective war materials.

NOTHING NEW

No, there is nothing new ABOUT
war fraud. But in this war some
thing new has been added-prompt
and just retribution in the form OF
punishment now.
Oddly enough, this is an entirely
rev approach to the problem OF
war fraud. 1t was not until four
years after the fighting ended in
1918 the department of justice set
up war transactions section" to
comb through more than 10000
wartime ordnance contracts in the
hope of recovering oyerpayments.
1t was a thankleSS, and almost
fruitless, job. All the contracts
were marked closed; witnesses and
evidence were missing. and both
the cases and the public were
cold" Only about $11,000,000 was
recovered, and the section wound
up its task with but one convic-
ton.

THINGS DIFFERENT

This time, however, things are
being done differently. Back in
February, 1912, just few months
after Pearl Harbor, established
war frauds unit in the department
of justice, composed of carefully
selected and trained personnel
equipped to prosecute war frauds as
they were unearthed, not after the
war was over. Their orders were

Car pools loom as the only solu-

County Rationing Board has an
nounced that only "B" books will
be issued hereafter to Govern
ment employees living here.
A meeting of County civic lead
ers and rationing officials Wed
nesday night at the University OF
Maryland discussed the reasons
for elimination of &c" books and
methods of organizing community
transportation resources.
Mayor Allen D. Morrison and
other town officials attended the
meeting to hear the state director,
Office of Price Administration,
and Leonard H. Burch, County
rationing chairman, speak. The
seriousness of the situation for
residents of this area was con-
sidered at the meeting, and it was
pointed out that many Govern
ment employees whose hours or To-
cation of work make car pooling
impossible are suffering severe
hardship.
Only Beltsville Federal employ
ees are given general exception to
the "B" book ruling. However,
rationing officials indicate further
consideration will be given to
+bosa who have honestly tried to
ioin car pools without success.
