According to reliable sources.
the Wheeler. Y. NJ. s. company
consists only OF a small office
operated in conjunction with the
Wheeler Shipbuilding Corp. of
which the three sons are the man.
aging directors.
These sources report that
the Wheeler. Y. VI. :. company
purchased $4,000, 900 worth
of merchandise for mine
sweeper projects In the first
five months of 1912. In addi-
tion the company Is reported
to have purchased another
10000,00O in merchandise for
the L. :. navy, bureau ships.
On these purchases. it is alleged
the company collects four per
cent commission for being the
purchasing agent In the first
five months of 1912, this would
amount to $500, 900, or more than
$4,000, 100000 annually.
The Wheeler Y. NJ. s. company
does not handle nor finance any Of
the merchandise it purchases for
the mine sweeper projects. All
goods are billed to the shipbuilder
and payment is guaranteed by the
United States.
Tacoma shipbuilders report
that service il good from the
New York company, but local
jobbers and suppliers say they
could maintain just as good a
service, having already helped
Puget Sound shipbuilders win
"E" pennants for speed in con-
struction.
The Tacoma Chamber of Com
merce interested itself in the fight
because it felt local jobbers should
have an opportunity TO supply
these needs. Congressman Coffee
took up the cudgels and some
progress has been made, judging
from his telegram received Thurs
day morning by T. A. Stevenson,
manager of the c. Of c.
The telegram:

two or three items can be fur

troll legislation through the Senate.
He won wide attention during the
closing phase of the last Congress
for his fight against parity price
ceilings for farmers, and his at
tack on the farm bloc was credited
with contributing materially to his
defeat.
Previous to his term in the Senate
Mr.. Brown served two terms in the
House.
He was born in st. Ignace, Mich,
in 1889. He was graduated from
the public schools there in 1906.
In 1911 he received an A. B. de-
gree from Albion College, and later,
through a scholarship in political
science, he attended the University
of Illinois.
Mr.. Brown was admitted to the
bar in st. Ignace in 1914. He was
prosecuting attorney Of Mackinac
County from 1914 to 1926. He later
served as a member of the State
Board Of Law Examiners. He was
chairman of three Democratic State
conventions. He was married in
1916 to Miss Marion E. Walker, of
st. Ignace and they have seven
children.
Wide Banking Experience.
He has had wide banking and
business interests, aside from his
law practice, and he is considered
an expert on fiscal affairs. He served
as chairman of the Senate Special
Committee on Taxation of Govern
mental Securities and Salaries from
1898 to 1910.
Mr.. Henderson retires at At from
Government service after a colorful
career dating back to the NRA days
during which he held several posts
A native of Millville, N j., he taught
school before coming to Washing
ton as an economist. After the NRA
era, he was appointed to the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
on which he served until he was
named in 1941 to the old Once OF
Price Administration and Civilian
Supply, predecessor of the present
OPA. , & ~
Mr.. Henderson's tenure as price
administrator was marked by fire.
,quent clashes with members of Con-
gress and other critics of OPA
policies. But the stocky economist
seemed to relish these encounters,
for he remained outspoken in his
views throughout his administration
In his letter of resignation to the
President, Mr.. Henderson gave Ill
health as the reason, naming q re-
current physical difficulty and an
impairment of eyesight. He said his
physicians had advised him to take
long rest.
Capital opinion in general, how
ever, attributed his retirement to a
desire of the administration for
greater harmony between OPA and
Congress, especially in view of the
heavy Republican gains in the con-
gressional elections.
In accepting his resignation,
Roosevelt Roosevelt expressed regret
that Mr. Henderson felt he must
leave and said he had performed an
exceedingly difficult and thankless
task with energy and with unex-
ampled courage"

FbI Head Says Youth
Should Study Religion
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. III. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal Blu.
reau of Investigation, included re-
ligious teachings, ethics and crime
prevention among suggestions for a
well-rounded curriculum for stu
dents which he sent yesterday te
the Methodist Board of Education
A request for suggestions was
made by DR.. Harry Wright McPher-
son of Nashville, executive secretary
of the board, which has 1876 colleges
and universities under its jurisdic.
ton.
Religious teachings are naturally
included in my suggestions for an
education program, regardless OF
denominational or religious belief,
Mr. Hoover said.
Il would also suggest that atten.
ton be given to the various phases
OF ethics in public and personal re-
lationships. Included might be q
study of the canons of ethics of the
various professions which might
serve to instill in the students an
idea OF the Importance of a proper
standard Of personal relationship to
their job, to their fellowmen, to the
country and, of course, to their God
Crime prevention might also well
be an important subject in any COL
lege or university schedule"

AustroIion Officials
Silent on New Envoy

MELBOURNE, Jan. II (P.-Prime
Minister John Curtin and other
government leaders were silent on
the appointment of Edward j. Flynn
as United States Minister to Aus
tralia, but the premature announce
ment and accompanying American
press criticism was reported by the
Melbourne Sun to have stirred
political circles.
(This dispatch was based on
the announcement by Mr.. Flynn
last week that he had been
named envoy to Australia. It
was filed approximately three
hours before President Roose-
welt sent the nomination of Mr..
Flynn to the Senate today.)
Astonishment was expressed that
Mr.. Flynn, chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, should
have made the announcement
rather than President Roosevelt.
Widespread regret was voiced
that such ministerial shift would
mean the departure of Nelson T.
johnson.
Evening star., 1943-01-11

understood the announcement had
been made here.
Mr.. Early had no comment about
who might succeed Mr.. Flynn as
chairman. Speculation has CEN
tered around Postmaster General
Walker for the post.
The letter which the President
sent to Mr.. Flynn follows:
Il am sending your nomination to
the Senate on Monday as Minister
to Australia.
I'm addition, I am appointing you
my personal representative with the
rank Of Ambassador. I do so be-
cause in the very large area of the
Southwest Pacific, ! want to feel
free to avail myself Of your services
in various other forms of activity
over and above your duties as Min
lister.
For example, Hon. Patrick ]. Hur-
ley, in addition to being Minister
to New Zealand, is a general in the
Army, and I have used his services
in many different places outside of
New Zealand proper and in ways
and for purposes which dc not fall
directly under his ministerial capa-
city"

Accession Of Brown
As 0PAChieftain
Ends Turbulent Era
Ex-senator Known
As Man Who Gets Things
Done by Reasoning

Nomination today of Prentiss M.
Brown, former Democratic Senator
from Michigan, to succeed Leon
Henderson as price administrator
brings to an end a rule over fuel
and food rationing and price CELL
ings which brought turbulent dis
sension in and out of Congress. The
nomination ushers in a regime ex-
rpected to be more conciliatory in
tone.
The outspoken Mr.. Henderson,
who never pulled his punches, gives
way to a legislator who once said
of his term in the Senate and two
terms in the House: 1--WE obtained
best results by reasoning with my
associates The people are just as
easy to reason with as are my COL
leagues"
The soft-spoken, 53-year-olds Mr.
Brown, whose appointment was
forecast when Mr.. Henderson re-
signed nearly a month ago, succeeds
hard-hitting administrator who
had many friends and not a few
enemies. Pending the nomination
Mr.. Henderson had continued to di-
rect the Office of Price Admins
tration.
Confirmation Expected Promptly.
Mr.. Brown was defeated in No
vember for reelection to the Senate
by Judge Homer Ferguson of De-
troit.
At the time Mr.. Henderson sent
his resignation to the White House,
on December II, it was understood
generally that Mr.. Brown was des-
ignated for the post, though no an
nouncement was made.
Reaction on Capitol Hill to the
expected Brown appointment was

Treadway, Republican, Of Massa-
chuSetts.
No one can justify pleasure driv-
ing, he said, when the health and
comfort Of the American people are
jeopardized.
II am sure the people of the sea-
board States are willing to give up
pleasure driving in order to assure
more adequate supply Of fuel oil
and gasoline for necessary driving"
he declared. 1T does seem, how
ever, that If equality of sacrifice
is to be the rule the. ban on pleas
ure driving should be extended to
the country as whole"
