Un etdry Denie! Charges of |nepfitude and Waste

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Under Secretary of War Robert P. Patter- son stoutly denied at House Milf tary Affairs Committee hearing that the War Department contracting officers are ''inept, inefficient, and are dishing out the property and money of the United States with reckless abandon"
 The statement was in reply to charges made on Monday by Comp troller General Lindsay Warren who testified his opposition to the proposed legislation giving the War Department final authority to nego- tiate settlements on terminated war contracts.
 Patterson said Warren's General Accounting Office approved 9999 percent of the vouchers submitted by the War Department for audit during the four months ending Aug ust. l943, and added but the record is even better than these figures indicate. The majority of the sus- pensions by General Accounting were merely temporary until further support documents are submitted and do not involve any real ques- tion as to the propriety of the pay ment."

Union Plans
 Denounced by
 Head of Corp.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21 His face flushed with anger and fist humping his emphasis, Frederick Riebel, former President, denounced the union contract of the Brewster Aeronautical Corporations plans as "hellish."
 He termed the actions of the unions leaders as damned despic- able" and told the House Naval Committee to start digging reasons for the production failures of Brew sters.
 He left his retirement in Florida to take over the company's presi- dency and T didn't care whether got money, marbles or chalk just so long as I could serve my coun- try"
 Predecessor to Henry Kaiser as the company's President, Riebel tes- tified that he attempted for three months to follow the policy of CO., operation with the union and it's head Tom De Lorenzo. In an effort to increase production of bombers and fighters for the Navy, T got in bad with Tom, you might say l sort of bundled with him for three months Riebel said.
 He contended that the cooperation had proved one sided.

DALLAS Texas, Oct 2l.--Vice' President Henry A. Wallace said Public transportation is again be- ing brought under monopoly con trol with evil consequences every where and with an apparent ac- counting to come"
 He leveled five charges against excessive transportation rates
 1. It is a burden to agriculture industry and trade.
 2. competitive rates deprive agriculture and industry of bene- fits of more efficient and cheaper forms of transportation.
 3. Discriminatory rates are keep ing the southwest in a colonial sta tus.
 4. Monopolistic con itions oi transportation are fostering mono polies in industry.

LONDON, oct. 2l.-A great fleet of Royal Air Force heavy night bombers went out last night for the eighth time this month and smash ed the second line of Geman indus tral defenses, hitting the big city of Leipzig, where many Of the Ruhr's bombed out industries had moved.
 Mosquito bombers roared swiftly over Berlin for the third time this week while other bombers ranged over widespread areas of the Reich,
 Leipzig has not been bombed since the sixth raid of the war on November 23, 194o,
 Last nights raid was in sharp contrast to tiny force of German bon1bers over England during the night hours. The raid however gave London the fiftieth successive night alert. Six persons were killed by a handful of scattered bombs,

 Passes Away

LONDON, Oct 2l.-Admiral of the Fleet, Sir Dudley Pound, 66, who resigned early this month as First British Sea Lord, because of ill health, died in London.
 He directed the British fleet through four of it's most critical war years and is credited, more than any other man, with the shaping of the course of Britain's modern naval policy.
 Sir Pound was taken i'll while returning from attending the Roose- velt-C Churchill conference in Que bee.
 He resigned as first Sea Lord on October 4, and was succeeded neNt day by Sir Andrew Browne Cum ningham. who had been commander of the British Naval Forces in the Mediterranean.
 Like Churchill, Sir Dudley was half American. His mother, Eliza beths Hickman Rogers, of Boston, married Alfred John Pound, an English lawyer.
