Ben B. Lawshe, Manager of the Commercial
Organization Department of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, told me that
the Albert Lea Plan may be used as model
for many of the ,45O local Chambers through
out the nation. Just as it stands the plan can
be copied by almost any community up to
10000 population. With minor revsions, it
would be applicable to cities of any size.
Not all cities, of course will find them
selves in as fortunate position as Albert Lea
when peace comes. And the success of any
local plan presupposes healthy economic con-
ditions throughout the country and, to great
extent, throughout the world. Widespread
initiation, or depression, could knock the best
laid plans of Albert Lea or any other town
- into cooked hat. Yet, if enough towns

avert economic disaster.

up to the community itself to see that the
seed develops into something worth while.

the people of every town and city would get

the facts, Albert Lea had actually discovered
hundreds of potential jobs it never knew

enough of these jobs to give everybody

plosives, Inc. of Elkton, Md.
The Navy Department took over
the Triumph plant. an important

This action resulted from a pre-
audit by the Navy Procurement
Office, which allegedly uncovered
numerous instances of bribery and
other management irregularities.
simultaneously with the indict-
ments, the Claims Division of the
Justice Department has instituted a
civil suit in Baltimore to recover for
the Government the overpayments
resulting from the alleged irregu-
larities.

the Justice Department. were Gus

Olcott g. Nichols; Joseph A. Nc
Cambridge and Anthony p Fabrizi,
civilian War Department inspectors
at Triumph; Reginald Gregory. chief
civilian Navy inspector, and Frank
w. Forrestal, company employe at
Elkton.
One indictment charged Kann
and Decker with falsifying and con-
ceiling production costs on Govern
ment munitions contracts, misap-
propriating funds of the company

such Interpretations by charging
them to company operating ex-
penSeS.
A second indictment charged
Decker, Shirley, Olcott and Nichols
with making false representations to
The Government. 1t alleged that
the defendants negotiated for
Triumph in excess of $1,7O0,O0O in
munitions contracts with the War
and Navy Departments on which

paid illegally commission or con-
lingent fee of per cent of the total.

dent Roosevelt for fourth term
brought denial from owl Direc-
tor Elmer Davis as Representative
Taber, Democrat, of New York,
leveled fresh attack at the pub
lication.
Mr.. Davis, replying to Senator
Holman's recent charge, asserted
yesterday the magazine had no
political purpose whatsoever Re-
ferring to an article about Mr.
Roosevelt in the first issue. he said
it was impossible to publish mag
azine for overseas distribution
without mentioning the President
and added:
You can't elect President of
the United States with votes in for

Taber Calls 1t Useless
Mr.. Taber described the magazine
as useless and declared its publica-
ton and distribution was criminal "
Estimating that the 900 900 copies of
the first two issues represented 402
tons of shipping space, he said:
1T is sad state of affairs. when
shipping space is so short that our
soldiers cannot receive a carton of
cigarettes or a box of candy or the
home town newspaper from their
families, but plenty of space seems
to be available for such foolish publi-
cations as Victory
| Furthermore, Mr.. Taber said, ink,
paper and everything that goes into
publication of the magazine are
scarce. Mr.. Davis estimated that on
bimonthly publication basis, the
magazine would use about 800 900
tons of paper stock annually.
5000 Copies Sent to Troops.
Mr.. Davis said the first issue of
the magazine, printed in English

South Africa, Australia, Egypt and

copies were distributed to American
troops in England at the request of

He placed the cost of the first issue
at $63 ,929, and the second issue, due
in March, at $135 600 The second
issue will be printed in English,
