New Faces "A
in Congress 5 fE|l|

The new Republican Representa-
tive from the eighth Missouri dis
trict is Parke M. Banta of Arcadia,
lawyer, who in his IS years has
seen his native countryside develop
from the era when 1t took a whole
day to haul supplies 20 miles.
Mr.. Banta was born on a farm
in Crawford County. His father
also had a country store and in his
early years it took a day to haul
in supplies by wagon from the
nearest town. The store served as
trading post, where the farmers
sold their produce and the furs they
trapped. The boy went to country
school which held sessions only
about six months of the year. He
had to go to Washington, Mo-, to
take high school course. He worked
on the farm during the summer.
He attended William Jewell Col
lege for a year and then went to
Northwestern University Law School,
graduating in 1914. He served in
the armed forces for 16 months
during World War I. He began
practicing law in PotoSi.
In 1914, Mr.. Banta was appointed
State Social Security administrator
and served for two years. His ad-
won praise from the
of Missouri.

Government contract In wartime has
been criticized. there is growing
tendency to use that type of con-
tract in private construction work
in the postwar period. Mr.. Keogh
asked If it has not been found sat

Representative Bradley, Republi-
can. of Michigan replied that pri-
vate builders are continuing to use
the cost plus -fixed-fee contract be-
cause. under existing unsettled con-
dltions, they have no possible way
Of estimating costs Of construction

Other witnesses heard late yes
terday were Michael N. Stoler, rep

president of Marineship Corp.

only in removing that sweeping in
junction"
William J. Walsh of Washington,
counsel for the AFL-International
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers,
which he said has about $4,000
members, arrived in Pittsburgh last
night and said his union might
intervene in an effort ito preserve
the anti-injunction statutes of Fed
eral and State governments.
The CIO-Steel City Industrial
Union Council, representing about
100000 workers, and the AFL-Pitts-
burgh Central Labor Union. repre-
senting another 175,000, had called
special meetings today to study the
situation.
John A. Metcalfe, President of
Local COL, CIO-United Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers, issued
a call for $500 Westinghouse Elec-
trio Corp. workers to attend pro-
test meeting this afternoon. Already,
about 1000 Westinghouse workers at
the Trafford plant had quit their
jobs in sympathy with the power
strikers, as had 5000 at the Jones &
Laughlin steel plant.
Although industrial users of elec-
tricity have been severely hit, the
effect of the power strike on the
public thus far has been largely a
matter of inconvenience. House.
holders have been told to use lights
and electrical appliances sparingly
and about so per cent of the shops
and Offices in downtown Pittsburgh
have been closed.
Water Supply Is Normal.
Water supplies were reported nor
NAL in the city and the many smaller
communities to which Duquesne de-
livers current in Allegheny and
Beaver Counties. The city of Pitts
burgh cut of supplies to outside
communities, but all big users re-
ported alternate sources available.
Public schools remained open;
three colleges closed. Five hospitals
limited admission of new patients
to maternity and emergency cases.
A number of laundries closed, but
others continued operation with
auxiliary power units. Street lights
continue on, although stgeets seemed
dark because Of the absence Of neon

retroactive to last September 1.

tracts for each of the nine bargain

Confined to 10 Companies.
The current hearings are being
confined to 10 companies which
merely operated shipyards provided
largely by the Government. TIL,
hearings have developed a SHARP
conflict of opinion as to how thu
shipbuilder's percentage of prof
should be measured.
Some committee members, in.
cluding Representative Weichel, Re.
publican, of Ohio, have contendec
that, where the Government
financed the yard and other ex-
|penses under the cost-plus fixed
fee contracts, the percentage o1
profit should be based on the amout
LOT private capital the operator hac
invested.
The shipbuilders argue that thu
of their fees depends
on what per cent they bear to the
total volume of shipping produced
since they were called in because oi
their experience and ability to turr
out ships in hurry when they were
needed.
Emphasizing this contention late
yesterday, Edwin L. Jones, secretary.
treasurer of the J. A. Jones Con.
struction Co., told the committee:
mo construction firm does busi-
ness on the basis of its money in

| Two More Companies
Insist War Profits
Were 0verestimated
BY J. A. O'Leoy

Two more companies which
built ships in Government
equipped yards during the war
told the House Merchant Marine
Committee today their net
profits after final adjustments
were far less than the estimated
profits reported by the Maritime
Commission in a July tabulation
The first was the Delta Ship
Building Co., Inc, represented by
w. H. Gerhauser, who testified that
the $12, 1881 given as estimated
profits by the Maritime Commission
was reduced by renegotiation to &c.
sos, 40.
Mr. Gerhauser explained that the
Louisiana Shipyards, Inc, was en-
titled under Delta's agreement with
the Maritime Commission, to q
share in the fees, amounting to $2,-
231 ,442. Mr.. Gerhauser said the
Louisiana Co. built the yard fol
the Government without a fee, anc
then waived its right to construct
ships in the yard, in return for g
share of Delta's fees.
Net Placed at $4,248,501.
After deducting taxes and nonre.
imbursable items, the net profit
received by Delta was given by Mr.
Gerhauser as $2,017,059. In othel
words, Delta and Louisiana re-
ceived a net amount of 81, 4,248, sol
after all deductions.
The second company heard this
morning was Walsh-Kaise Co., Inc
which built ships for the Govern
ment at Providence, r. I. In the
Maritime Commission report, Its
profits were estimated at $3,050, ,795
Charles H. Mcleod, spokesman fol
the company, said that, after de.
duction Of taxes and other items
Its net figure would be about hall
that estimate, or $1,500,000.
While the House committee is con-
tinuing to hear more shipyaro
operators today, the Maritime Com
mission will have an opportunity
probably tomorrow, to answer the
shipbuilders' charge that the COM
missions profit figures are mis-
leading.
Committee Chairman Bland has
announced the hearing will be re-
cessed tomorrow evening until after
the November elections.

Habeas Corpus Writ Denied
To Michigan Graft Witness
By the A,socjotsd Press

Charles F. Hemans' plea for a
writ of habeas corpus to prevent his
return to Michigan as a witness in
a legislative corruption case was de-
MED today by District Court Justice
Alexander Holtzoff.
Justice Holtzoff refused TO con-
tinue Hemans' 5000 bond, but or
dered that he not be removed to
Michigan before pm. so he might
take the case to the Court of Ap-
peals.
While Hemans was locked up by
