Suit Against Navy
Contractors Involving
$4,000, 900 Is Settled

from Yesterdays Last Edftion.)
A civil suit against William Scrim-
geour, Washington contractor and
engineer, and members of his family.
brought by the Justice Department
In connection with more than
81 .000, 900 in Navy contracts, was
settled today, 1t was announced by
Assistant Attorney General Francis
M. Shea.
Mr.. Scrimgeour and his sons. Max
well and c. Bailey, are required to
pay the Government $2l 500 in COM
pensatory damages. The Scrim-
occurs also voluntarily agreed to
renegotiate with the Navy Depart
ment, which fixed the amount of
gross excess profits earned by the
defendants during 1912 and 1913 at
1915 900.
The Government also accepted an
offer from o. o. Edlund and w. w.

defendants with the Scrimgeours, Of
$500 as compensatory damages.
An indictment brought against
William Scrimgeour in connection
with the Navy contracts still is
pending in District Court here. The
indictment. charging him with max
ing false statements to the Govern
ment in connection with the con-
tracts, was returned by a special
grand jury August 16, l943, the same
day the Justice Department filed
its civil suit in District Court.
The indictment charges that
Scrimgeour was neither regular
dealer nor manufacturer of ma
terials which he sold to the Navy,
although standard Navy contracts
provide that the contractor meet
these requirements. According to
the Justice Department, profits to
William Scrimgeour from the con-
tracts mentioned in the 10-count
indictment averaged 25 per cent and
went as high as 80 per cent.
The action against Scrimgeour
and his sons by the Government
followed disclosures made before
the House Naval Affairs Committee
in 1943 concerning the activities of
middlemen in the awarding of war
production contracts.

Al Dumbarton Oaks
Due 10 Close Today

Seven weeks of conferences de-
signed to build an American Brit
ish-R Russian Chinese framework for
a world peace organization are ex-
pected to end at Dumbarton Oaks
today.
The plan agreed on in all essen

and British delegates is the one
worked out in the first six weeks Of
the conference by the American,
British and Soviet representatives
1t has been described by President
Roosevelt as representing 80 per
cent agreement.
Chinese delegates, who entered the
talks after the Russian conversa-
tions were concluded, were able to
complete their work in a single week,
it was learned, because they found
their main ideas were covered in
the Anglo o-American- Russian daft,
at least by implication.

up their work on the preliminary
blueprint for world peace agency
and place it before the public early
next week, obstacles to the admin

ciety when, as matter of fact, we
are being driven into state Of war;"
Senator Wherry, Republican, of Ne

day.
He asserted also that "in order to
implement the plans under discus
