In one case the Government
advertised for motor part which
Hercules manufactured at cost
of $19.95 and sold to the Federal
Truck Co. of Detroit for $27.1O.
When the bids were opened Fed
Ieral was the low bidder at $36.75
while Hercules bid $60.93, despite
the fact that its list price" for
the same item was only $54.21.
| Again. motors made by Her
cules at a cost of $709.19 each
were sold to Federal for 1897 rs
and then sold by Federal to the
Detroit ordnance center for 81 $40
on this motor Hercules had no
list price and made no bid direct.
Bids Three Cents Apart.
In third case where both Fed
eral and the Biederman Motor
Corp. had paid $897.75 for motors
that cost Hercules $708.19 to
make, the two middlemen offered
them to the Government at un-
Iusaully similar prices-Biederman
for 81 .339.97 and Federal for just
8 cents more, or $1,340. Hercules
made no bid.
Another transaction found Fed
eral Truck undertaking the Tim
ken Axle Co. on an item it had
originally bought from Timken.
In this case. Timken made the
part for $12.66 and sold it to Fed

Shortages Revealed
In Scientist S Suicide
BY Snake Venom
BY the Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Aug. 4.
The University of Michigan told
today of the faxed expense ac-
counts which led to the melo-
dramatic suicide by snake venom
of Professor Malcolm H. Soule, 81.
The renowned scientist, head of
the University's Department of
Bacteriology for 16 years, killed
himself with an injection of snake
venom and morphine Friday eve
ming after being fired by the
university and threatened with
prosecution.
The University broke it's official
silence on the affair today with
| a terse summary of events pre-
ceding DR.. Soule'S death.
| An announcement said that last
March and April DR.. Soule SUBJ
mitted travel vouchers for two
men who had supposedly visited
the university to be interviewed
| for jobs. The university signed
| the vouchers and issued checks to
DR.. Soule, who said he would de-
liver them to the men.
Doctor Repays $487.
Later it was learned that the
men had not visited Ann Arbor
and had not received the checks" /"
the university declared.
Finding the vouchers and sig
natures forged, the university
confronted the bacteriologist with
the evidence. He admitted mis-
handling of funds, the announce
ment added. and paid back
$487.05.
Murray D. Van Wagner, a
university regent and former Gov
ernor of Michigan and military
Governor of Bavaria, said the
transactions involving the $487
were "all we have proof Of"
The university's announce
ment made clear, however, that
there had been previous reports
of alleged misuse of university
property and funds by DR.. Soule. d"
Resignation Rejected.
After admitting the deals, DR..
Soule submitted his resignation.
But Friday the regents turned it
down, notifying DR.. Soule he
was being fired and that the mat
ter had been turned over to a
public prosecutor.
The scientist heard the news
and within three hours injected
the fatal dose with a hypodermic
needle.
DR.. Soule, renowned among the
worlds psychologists for his re-
search into leprosy, tropical
medicine and dysentery, had ap-
parently brought home the snake
venom from one of his trips to
the tropics.

This was revealed yesterday by

ties" which led to the removal of

At the same time, Representa-

Target of the inquiry is a con-

directly from the manufacturer
who makes them but, instead
purchase them from auto pro-
ducers, and others, who add what
MIR. Meader calls "a seemingly
unearned profit"
Already, the Michigan congress

have developed series of case
studies of instances where sale
Fprices have swollen from 80 to 300

that they were undersold by com

The Senate Crime Committee
announced yesterday that John

and Miamivdescribed as associ-
ates of underworld figures-will

tomorrow.
! Senator O'Conor, Democrat, of
Maryland, the committee chair

known as the King brothers, were
arrested several weeks ago, under
warrants issued by the Senate.
The brothers have been at lib
erty under bond to Joseph Duke.

Previous testimony before the
committee" Senator O'Conor said,
"has linked these men with the
Mayfield Road gang with head
quarters in Cleveland and later
with the Cleveland syndicate
iracketeers who operated major
gambling houses in Ohio, Ken
lucky, Nevada and Florida.
"The Angersolas have also been
associated with Philadelphia and
New Jersey underworld figures in
the operation of several hotels in
Miami Beach"
Senator O'Conor said commit
tee investigators have been unable
to locate Louis Appleman of Bal
timore. He added that Appleman's
testimony sis desired in connec-
ton with hearings of the commit

Duff Challenges Foes
To Fight for State 5
Convention Delegates
By jock Bell
Associoted Press Stoff Writer

Senator Duff, Republican, oi
Pennsylvania. yesterday issued an
angry challenge to an opposing
COP group to do battle over
Pennsylvania's delegation to the
1852 presidential nominating con-
vention.
Senator Duff, plugging for Gen
Eisenhower as the nominee, said
if a group headed by G.. Mason
Owlett. Republican national COM
mitteeman, and former Senator
Joseph H. Grundy want a knock
down and drag-out fight" they
can have it.
The challenge came as a result
of Mr.. Owlett's assertion that
Senator Duff has little chance of
controlling the 70-man delegation
to the Republican National Con-
vention next year. Mr.. Owlett
said later he was talking about the
craftsmanship of the State delega-
ton, post which usually goes to
the Governor.
Calls Remarks Silly
Calling Mr.. Owlett's original re-
marks silly" and saying that Mr..
Owlett "has the wretched habit of
opening his mouth and going
away and leaving it" Senator Duff
said in a statement:
''If what Mr.. Owlett said means
that he demands another knock
down and drag-out fight within
the Republican Party in Pennsyl-
vania next year-as we had last
year when he got terrific beat
ing twice, both in the primary
and in the general election-that
will receive due attention at the
proper time"
Senator Duff's reference to the
general election brought into the
open a charge that the Owlett-
Grundy faction failed to support
Senator Duff when he was elected
TO Lne senate laSC year.
Supported by Senator Duff.
Mr.. Owlett's declaration that
the Grundy group probably will
support Gov. John S. Fine to head
the delegation provoked Duff
retort that Mr.. Owlett was only
trying to restore himself as a
self designated leader and spokes-
man" for the party in Pennsyl-
vania.
Gov. Fine was elected with SEN
ator Duff's support and opposed
by the Grundy group in the pri-
mary.
Mr.. Owlett said the Grundy
group is not committed on a
presidential candidate, lalthough
he earlier indicated it favored
either Harold E. Stassen, president
of the University of Pennsylvania,
or Senator Taft, Republican. of
Ohio.

find that the people handling your
dog in transit will give him very
good care. Officials of the Rail-
way Express Agency ask when
shipping your dog, if he is apt to
take a nip out of somebody, that
you put a sign on the crate an
nouncing his bad habits. One of
the most important things to re-
member when shipping a dog is
to supply a proper receptacle for
watering the animal. Water is
more important to the animal
when travelling than food.
Raymond Klinger who lives il
Locust Gap, Pa. was puzzled on
returning home to find his radio
going full blast. He remembered
having turned it off before going
out. A few days later the same
thing happened again. He had
his suspicious as to who was the
culprit so one evening he turned
the set off, went out of doors
and watched through a window
Klinger saw his dog jump onto
a table, flip the radio switch with
his paw and then settle himself
in chair to listen to the pro-
gram.
Did you ever realize that your
dog has voice superior to any
other animal? None has as many
changes, infections or tones of
vocal expression as does a dog.
Nor do I believe that any animal
desires so anxiously to talk as
does the dog. Notice the dozen or
SO infections your own dog uses.
You can tell by his bark or whine
whether the sound Is one of joy
or pain, of pleading or fighting
Of warning. of fear or of play.
Often the pitch of tone and VOL
ume enable dog to express shades
of meaning rather than just the
idea of joy, pain, fear, etc.
@. Should I give very young
puppy lot of water to drink
r. P. D.
A. I believe in making water
available to a dog at all times,
but because much of the regular
food a puppy gets has a lot of
liquids in it. they do not require
too much extra water. In fact. too
much water may cause digestive
troubles. Water pup at least
three times a day.
