CALL FOR BID

The extraordinary session of the legislature which met in l946 pas sed an Act, Chapter 9, revising and extending workmen's com pensation to include territorial employees.
 Through inadvertance, the legis- lators made no specific appropria- ton for the insurance of territorial employees. Therefore, I think it advisable for their protection that it be issued and paid for out of the Governors emergency fund. Since the Act does not go into effect until June 30, it will be necessary only to have insurance for seven months, or until Janu- ary 30, when the next legislature will be in session and in a posi- tion to appropriate for future in- surance for territorial employees. Insurance agencies doing busi- ness in the Territory are there fore requested, if interested, to submit bids in writing, in tripli- cate, to the Governors Office. Bids will be opened at the Gov ernor's Office at two o'clock pm, Friday, June 28.
 The right is reserved to reject any or all bids.

|'BIockTom' Charges Irk Won Popen

Nuremberg, June iS = CUP) - Franz Won Papen protested that charges duplicating him in the 1917 Black Tom explosion in New Jersey were a blot on his character
 Won Papen, Germany's ace diplo- mat in two wars, testified in his own defense before the Allied War Crimes Tribunal. He was military attache in the United States before American entry into the first World War.
 T was surprised by the outbreak of war;" he testified but until 1915 l remained at my post in Washing ton. Heated propaganda tried to cast suspicion on German military attaches at all costs, even to accus- ing them of sabotage acts.
 Tn 1915 I left the United States and never tried to rectify this wrong propaganda. But 1t followed me until the 30's, and even until to- day, and 1t has impressed it's stamp upon me.
 The Lehigh Valley Company in 1881 Staked a claim against the Reich for 5000 900 on a conten- ton that I as German military at- tache caused an explosion in 1917 two years after left the United States.
 They honored me with pretty names. They called me a master spy. This propaganda against me is . background for judging my per- Sonality."
 He complained that the world had a completely distorted picture of my character. There were many bad things said about me in the world"

Tokyo, June IS = (UP) = High ranking U. s. Axsny officers, includ- ing generals, allegedly accepted lavish gifts and the blandishments of geisha girls in exchange for granting preference on construction contracts to Q Tokyo millionaire, the Provost Marshal's Offlce said today.
 Concluding 0 seven-month inveS- tigation, agents of the Provost Mar shal's once and Army Intelligence Corps raided headquarters of veal thy Akira Ando. They seized a large quantity of black market U. s. Army goods and took Ando, Japan's fore- most promoter and contractor, into protective custody. He was jailed at metropolitan police station,
 Col. M. Logic, deputy Provost Marshal, said the scandal would in. volve many top General Headquar- ters officers, including some from the Military Government and from the economic and scientific sections of U. s. Army occupation forces.
 It was learned that a guest book, containing the signatures of hun- dreds of American officers, was missing from Ando's lavish Daian night club. The officers had signed the book in response to Andos re- quest for their autograph"
 The book may figure in the con- tinuing investigation of the Ando case.
 Ando, 46, was adviser to the Greater East Asia Company and to the Japanese munitions industry during the war. He presently is head of Tokyo's largest taxi company and Q director of the Kamakura and Keio universities. At the time of

Women Proposed For Occupation
 Duties Abroad

Northampton, Mass, June 10 -(UP)-President Herbert J. Davis of Smith College said that he was tempted to suggest to President Truman that Stu- dents of women's colleges be sent abroad to taxe over occu- patton of Europe.
 Speaking at the final chapel exercises for the Senior Glass, Davis said t he suggestion springs from the desire of so many Smith students to- go abroad. He said the men over- seas are anxious to come home and his suggestion might solve the problem both for President Truman and himself.
 "The students are well pre- pared and in some ways would be an improvement over men," said Davis. And they might prove better missionaries of democracy"
