owner, the local political boss. But within
the Bradshaw Corporation, people stood less
in awe of the companys grizzled old presi-

a long time she had been Mr.. Bradshaw's
mouthpiece and watchdog quiet, one

But, in her secret heart, Prissy felt sorry
for Miss Wilson. "A girls gotta have a-loor,"
Prissy maintained Miss Wilson had no allure

Prissy rounded her lips in front of her

Il wouldn't know. Would you care to
talk to Miss Wilson,"
'Okay But lot of good that Il do an hon.

A story he would have relished was at his

At the street exit she hesitated. 1t was rain

soldier regarded her appreciatively, from slim
legs to creamy skin, and dark eyes in an oval
face. She had youthful queenliness in her
bearing, yet there was something indefnably
age-old about her. The soldier asked re-
spectfully: "You want taxi, Miss?"
The girl nodded, with a detached smile.
He called a taxi and opened the door for her,
saluting as the taxi moved out into the rain.

Ship Repair Inspector
Charges Death Threat
In Payroll Padding
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May ga witness
told a House subcommittee today he
had been threatened with death for
reporting payroll padding in ship
repair work at Brooklyn ship
yard-and that he had been offered
bribes of money or women to get
off the managements chest"
The witness-John S. Kirk, a War
Shipping Administration field serv-
ice inspector-did not disclose the
source of the threats, but said he
had reported them Ito the proper
Federal authorities"
Describing the Mercantile Ship
Repair Co. as the prime contractor
for the work, he said he once count
ed 1877 men employed on ship.
while company records listed 173.
II spoke to the management" he
said. They told me the other men
were on the pier. I checked that
and found it was not true"
Adding that he had found as
many as 100 workmen asleep on the
ship day after day" for lack of
work to do, he said he had been
approached several times by persons
who offered to bribe me if I would
get off the managements chest"
They asked me what I wanted"
he said, money, women or what"
Mr.. Kirk, a member of a commit
tee appointed to represent 236 VISA
inspectors, whose employment is
scheduled to terminate next week,
testified by invitation before sub
committee of the House Marine and
Fisheries Committee investigating
ship-repair conditions.
This transcript should be turned
over to a court of justice" COM
mented Representative Jackson,
Democrat, of Washington. Il as
sumo that will be done"
Mr.. Kirk said he saw so much
idleness aboard the ship he took the
matter up with his supervisor.
"We found as many as 100 men
sleeping aboard day after day and
we found instances where 10 men
would be charged to an item of
work that could be handled by only
one man." he declared.
"All this extra help meant that
the management would make that
much money on a cost-plus basis as
a result; that SOP" Mr.. Jackson
asked
That's right" Mr.. Kirk replied.
