Contract Probe
SACRAMENTO. june u.

SACRAMENTO, June IL. (UP)
Gov. Earl Warren Monday an
nounced Attorney General Robert
w. Kenny will investigate hous-
ing contract let by the state farm
production council. which alleged
ly allowed a 40 per cent profit, to
determine if an attempt to defraud
the state is involved.
Details of the contract were dis
closed by report of senate fin
ance subcommittee which said it
was let to Nels Nielsen and Grant
Ewing of Hayward for $369,00O in
which Ewing testified uncer oath
his firm made profit Of $l60,0O0.
RESTRICTED ALLOWANCE
The senate finance committee
recommended passage of a restrict
ed $l,014,000 appropriation for the
farm production council after hear
ing the subcommittee report.
Warren said he also had asked
the district attorneys of Alameda
and San MateU counties to investi-
gate the contract.
The legislature" Warren said,
lis entitled to credit for diligence in
ferreting out matter of this kind.
Certainly the incident has very
bad odor to say the least. 1t must
be thoroughly sifted both from
the standpoint of state interest and
law enforcement. If any prosecu-
tions are warranted they must pro-
ceed with dispatch.
The subcommittee also urged cam
collation. of another contract for
feeding farm laborerS held by
A. L. Vcllman, former administra-
tive assistant to William B. Parker
the council director.
The housing contract was nego-
tiated for the council by Vollman
Senator w. p. Rich. Marysville, a
member of the subcommittee, said
and Vollman later resigned and
himself obtained the contract for
feeding farm workers. The contract
Rich said, is dependent on the
number of workers fed, and runs
until June 80 with option to renew
for six months, The council has
budgeted $686,000 for feeding work
ers during the year starting July
AS recommended by the COM
mittee, the l944-45 farm produc-
tion council appropriation would
be subject to control by tie state
finance department. The approp-
ration bill has been passed by the
assembly in that form.
Meantime. the senate received
