La Guardia CHARGES
'UnethicaI' Auction
OF War Surp|uses
Senators Asked to Toke
Steps to Stop Such
'ScondoIous Proceedings
By the Associated Press.

by tne ASsoClateo PreSs.
Mayor La Guardia of New York
today described Jacob Goldberg S
New York auction of war sur
pluses as unfair and unethical''
and the man who conducted it
as stupid and arrogant"
The Mayor, whose own inquiries
led the Senate War Investigating
Committee to look into the opera
tions of Surplus Liquidators, Inc.
testified:
I'D like to ask the committee tc
pursue the details of this sale and
TO take such steps as are necessary
to avoid . repetition OF this scan
dalous proceeding"
He spoke Of an auction held at
Maspeth, N. Y, late last fall of sur
pluses accumulated by the Defense
Plant Corp, including electrical ap-
pliances and hardware.
City Bid Precluded.
He said Surplus Liquidators, Inc,
OF which Goldberg is president, won
a contract to conduct the auction,
when the city was precluded under
the terms of the DPC contract from
entering bid of its own.
Testimony already in the record
discloses Goldberg got a contract
from the Defense Plant Corp. tc
conduct two auctions despite his al
legged attempt to buy the influence
of a $500 DPC engineer with ar
offer of a $4,000 job.
This testimony came yesterday
from John Van Ginhoven, acting
engineer in charge of DPC surplus
property in the Nashville district.
Tells of Job Offer.
Mr.. Van Ginhoven testified that
Goldberg offered him a job at a
meeting in a hotel room in Cleve-
land last August 9.
Under questioning by Senator
Ferguson, Republican, of Michigan
the witness replied yes" when asked
If Goldberg sought a favorable
recommendation on Surplus Liqui-
dators, Inc, in its effort to win con-
tracts to auction off surplus prop
erty on per cent fee basis.
He turned the offer down, Mr.
Van Ginhoven said, because he
didn't want people like that to gel
their claws on DPC surpluses.
He said his salary was to be "ret.
roactive," in that he would be paio
by Goldberg from the time he went
to work for him until he left the
Government "and went on Gold
berg's payroll officially"
He said Goldberg told him the
salary and other expenses would be
charged to the Defense Plant Corp.
Subsequently,, committee attaches
said the DPC gave Surplus Property
Liquidators contract under which
they conducted the auction in Mas
peth, and one in Burlington, N. j.,
in late November and early Decem-
bef.

Goldberg, large man with a big
thatch Of gray hair. was an inter-

It was possible that the Russians
were even closer than 80 miles, for
the German communique did not
give the exact location of the pene-

the Kustrin vicinity was meant.
The eastern edge of Kustrin itself

German capital, was reached by the
Russians, German broadcasts said.
Along a 70-mile front, Marshal
zhukov massed waves of tanks and

posite Belgium and Luxembourg
The heaviest enemy resistance was
limited strictly to small arms and
accurate mortar screening. Troops
frankly were amazed at the COM

cases, the enemy's reluctance to
stand and fight.

Better Bus Service For WuterviIIe

Watervlile, oct. 17-Residents of Waterville are going to start a carn- paiRn to have the 0. R. & L. bus lines put on express busseS during the late afternoon rush. MT. Drum" mond of the company last winter talked with your correspondent and stated that he had stood at the foot of Willow street watching the WatervilIe buses 90 by and agreed that something should be done. He put them on for Q short time, but now they are gone again. It does not seem quite fair that Waterville passengers have to stand in the center and along West Main street for several buses sometimes before they can find room. Overlook buses leave the center with empty seats while the Willow street people will crowd on the Waterville bus and let the vile residents walt. If MT. Drummond will ride these buses late in the afternoon for few days he will realize the situation and will agree that Waterville people have worked just as hard and are just as tired as the Willow street people and deserve Q seat.
