Army Finance Center
Under 3-Way Probe;
Personnel Chief Fired
By the Associoted Press

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-THE Civil
Service Commission has ordered
the dismissal of top civilian ex-
ecutive at the big Army Finance
Center here.
The center is under investiga-
ton by three separate groups.
Yesterday the commission, in
Washington, instructed the Army
to fire Joseph H. Lehman, the
personnel director at the center,
which employs about 1000 per-
sons.
Representative Karst, Republi-
can, of Missouri, chairman of the
House Civil Service Subcommittee,
told reporters in Washington:
This is just the beginning. We
are going to clean it up"
Three Investigating Agencies.
Mr.. Karst's subcommittee has
been designated to investigate ad-
ministration of the center. Other
investigations are being made by
the controller general and the
Army's inspector general.
James M. Mitchell, a member of
the Civil Service Commission, said
the group acted after deciding Mr..
Lehman exaggerated his expert
ence in making written application
for the $8,600-a-year job. The
commissioner said his agency was
concerned only with whether Mr..
Lehman received appointment
legitimately."
Mr.. Lehman said he would have
no comment until he sees copy
OF the order. Brig. Gen. E. j.
Bean, commander of the center,
could not be reached for comment.
Overpayments Charged.
Inquiries were started after pub
lication of a story by the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat last spring charg-
ing the center made a total of 500
100000 In overpayments in it's
handling of Government money.
The center handles dependent
allotments for Army and Air Force
men overseas.
Mrs. Sally H. Dewey, fraud in
vestigator in the center's family
allowance division. told the Globe
Democrat she had records to
prove S1,500,000 in overpayments
were made at the center on a

Bill 10 Allow Mine Seizure
Signed by Gov. Battle
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va, Feb. IL
Gov. Battle today signed an
emergency bill permitting State
seizure and operation of coal
mines during strikes which en-
danger the public welfare.

authority to seize coal mines if,
in his judgment, such action is
necessary in the interests of the
people of the State.
Also, the bill provides for a
State fuel commission as the op-
Grating agent to secure coal. Such
an agency was created by Gov.
Tuck while he was in Office and
is still functiOninp
