Lehman Shocked by Cardinals Attack

Federal aid to education has be-
come involved in the House.
The Barden bill would prohibit
spending Federal money for school
health and transportation.
With a separate health measure
on the calendar. aid-to- education
supporters argue, Catholic Con-
eressmen can accept the Barden
bill-or something similar to it.
A new aid-to-educatio bill in
cluding some of the Barden
measure and some of a school
aid bill already passed by the Sem
ste is being prepared by Labor
Committee members. They have
refused, however, to disclose de-
tails until the health measure is
approved by the Interstate Com
mittee.

Col. Danaher's Scheme
(Prince Rupert Daily News


 The scheme of Col J. T. Danaher, special in vestigator for the United States Department of the Interior of the possibilities of institutng auto mobile and truck ferry service from Prince Rupert, the terminus of the Skeena River Highway, through principal Southeast Alaska ports to Hanes, terminus of the Hanes Cutoff connection with the Alaska Highway may be considered somewhat ambitious and visionary It is hardly likely that service of such magnitude as set forth by Col Danaher would be immediately consummated In the first place, the Skeene River Highway would have to be much better and more certain artery of traffic before any such service could depend upon it. There would also have to be sudden diversion of the normal channel of traffic from United to Alaska Neither of these things could be expected to be accomplished in year 
 Nevertheless, may expect in the course of time to see a channel of traffic such Col Dalaher sug- gests Eventually hundreds of cars and trucks, 1t is to be reasonably anticipated will travel from the railway and highway terminal at Prince Rupert which so strategicay placed in relation to Alaska At least Col Danahers scheme cannot be dismissed as lm- practicable even if it might little premature

 Of course, you cant keep them out" commented Truman.
 "No, and we wouldn't want to Ii we could" said Welch. But 8 great many of our unemployed would have jobs today but for the two and a -half-year holdup in the construction of this new bridge, which has been recommended by Defense Secretary Johnson and Arn1y-Navy engineers after long study"
 , Havenner and Miller charged that Governor Earl Warren and COP. Senator William KnoWland, Calif., were trying to force" San Fran ciscans to accept another bridge, running parallel to and 300 feet tclow the present San Francisco Oakland bridge. This, they said would add to traffic troubles" and i be a poor security risk in case of war.
 The southern crossing" bridge would span the bay, from San Francisco to Alameda, at point four miles below.
 I've always been in the corne. of my fellow Republican, Governor Warren, but he's wrong this time, declared Welch. There are things that transcend friendeship and one of them is human life If another parallel span were built alongside the present bridge, military experts have stated that one bomb coulc destroy them both.
 That would mean 800,000 peo- pie would be packed in the tip O. San Francisco, with no means O egress. But aside from this risl to security, the parallel bridg would do little to alleviate traffi : congestion, which is our main pur pose in planning the 'souther! crossing"
 "I favor decentralization instea of specialization" agreed Truman We cannot add congestion to con gestion."
 Well one form of crystallizatiol that you can't beat is public opin ion,' quipped Welch. Except fo the business interests in Oakland the great majority of people in ou part of California are for the sout bridge to Alameda"

Overland company are based upon events which occurred when the government terminated it's war con- tract and turned the Jeep plant back to Willys- Overland. The al legged frauds were discovered by the general accounting office which IS entrusted by Congress to review all government expenditures.
 AS result of gerelal accounting office scrutiny. it is now charged that Willys- Overland owes the gov ernment S1,115,915 The fraud is based upon the allegation that this amount was concealed. A total of five different charges are made against Willy Overland, as follows: First, it is alleged that slightly over one million dollars of com mon inventory" was charged to the government. These consist of items which Willys was able to use in it's own civilian production without any loss. But after charging the cost up to the government, Willys later repurchased this inventory for only $376 ,99l-though it charged she government Sl,00G,000.
 This, according to the general accounting office, was misrepresen- tation and concealment. and the government was defrauded of S688.- 776.
 9 The government disputes the figure of S75,o00 for other com mon inventory.
 B. The government also claims that additional inventory which cost the government S87,669 was pur- chased by Willys from the War Assets Administration for Sl5,9ll In doing this, the government claims, Willys concealed the fact that it had already used S17.00( worth of this inventory in its regu. lar production.
 4 Willys claimed and was pait $l,8l5.00O by the government for it. inventory of Jeep parts. Blu these were billed at spare parts prices, which were in excess of tn, actual cost. Therefore, the govern ment claims that Willys now owe 43 per cent of the inventory whicl previously had been marked Ill b7 per cent. The difference, tn government claims, amounts t $200,000.
 5. In making Jeeps, Willy charged the government for genera administration expenses, overhead etc. In view of the above frau charges, the government now claim that the fraction of the admins tratiye expenses which were base upon excessive charges should no, be refunded to the government This amounts to another $l46 ,00t which the Justice Departmen wants returned from the compan that manufactured Jeeps during tn war.
