Text Of Statement.
Mr. StimSons statement follows
MY attention has been attracted
10 sinister rumors aimed at destroy
Ing the Womens Army Auxiliary
Corps. refer to charges of immor
ality and particularly to the allega-
ton that the War Department has
agreed to the issuance of contracep-
tives and prophylactic equipment to
the members of this corps. 1 wish
to state that these rumors are abso-
lutely and completely false.
The record of the Women's Army
Auxiliary Corps speak for itself
Since July, 1912. approximately 65,.
600 fine patriotic women have en-
rolled in the corps. Every one o1
these women who has gone to duty
in the field has released a soldier
for front-line duty This is the
equivalent of four combat divisions
To appraise that l remind you that
our combat force in the Tunisiar
campaign consisted of just foul
divisions
Authorized Strength 100000.
The authorized strength of this
corps is 100000 and since the OBJ
jective behind the enlistment in the
corps is to relieve able bodied SOL
diers for combat duty, you can see
We are seeking now for a sizeable
Increase in our fighting forces.
The enemy naturally is inter-
ested in our combat strength-the
force by which We will eventually
bring him to unconditional sur
render. Anything which would in
terfere with their recruiting or
destroy the reputation of the corps
and by so doing interfere with in
crease in the combat strength OF
our Army would be of value to that
enemy. The repetition of any un-
founded rumor concerning this
corps lessons confidence in it and is
actually an aid to the enemy
Any reflection on the Women S
Army Auxiliary Corps is in essence
a reflection on the whole of Amer
lean womanhood, for these $4,000
women are a cross-section of the
Uomanhood of our Nation. They are
the teachers who taught your chill
dren. the wives, sWeethearts, sisters
and even mothers of the men who
are today fighting to save our free
dom. When they are .maligned
when vicious rumor destroys their
regulations. the effects could reach
into our very front lines injuring the
morale OF our Army itself. The
story of our Women's Army Auxiliary
Corps is already fine chapter in
the story of American womanhood.
L emphasize the fact that I have
made thorough investigation of all
these rumors. They are completely
false"

Feed Barrels Shipped
To Puerto Rico Used
By Rum Disti||ers
Bell Committee Told
Of Large Profits in
Sale of Containers
BY .he Associated Press.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, june
l0.-Members of the Bell congress
sional committee investigating in
sular affairs peered into 50-gallon
charred barrel eXuding a distinct
alcoholic odor yesterday and then
listened for two hours while wit
nesses told a story of how Puerto
Rican rum distillers were subsidiz-
ing Federal livestock feed imports
through the purchase of barrels.
Moe Goldman, Puerto Rican rep
resentative of the Younge Grain Co
of Peoria, ILL.,, told of his company s
dealings with the Federal Food Dis
tribution Administration in feed
and barrels during insistent Ques-
tioning from Representatives Nc
Gehee, Democrat, of Mississippi:
Crawford, Republican. of Michigan
and others after a customs officer
rolled a barrel into the ballroom of
the Condado Hotel-scene of the
hearings-pounded off the hoops
and lifted the lid to reveal 100
pound bag of feed inside.
Sale of Barrels Covers Loss.
Mr.. Goldman told the committee
his firm had been buying bran feed
at $40 ton and was then reselling
it to the Federal Food Distribution
Administration at $25 a ton. This
loss, Mr.. Goldman said. was covered
by the large profits on the sale OF
the barrels to Puero Rican distillers
The customs guard who opened
the barrel said it was one of a ship
ment of 400 recently unloaded in
San Juan from British freightel
consigned to distiller in the Virgin
Islands. He added that the feed was
usually shipped in bags.
At this point Lee Miller. whose in
terest in the proceedings was not
made clear. charged that shipping
the feed in barrels was direct

Of 10000 barrels which he said cost

Said to Save Space.
Mr.. Goldman explained that he
had brought in the 10000 barrels as
agent for the grain company under
an arrangement with the FDA
aiming to save space in the importa-
ton of livestock and chicken feed
Since Puerto Rico needs $500 tons
of feed monthly. MI Goldman ex-
planned, the plan was to import some
ingredients from the United States
to be mixed locally with corn and
other ingredients from Santo Do
mingo.
The FDA further agreed. he said.
that the grain could be packed in
barrels and shipped on deck. saving

definitely in San Juan where stor-
age space is at premium. After

then sold to distillers who were
badly in need of rum casks.
