that he almost threw Leo Harvey out of the office, and so riled Sec retary of the Interior Chapman that he described Harvey as i'm possible
 However, each time a government bureau baked at Harey'S terms, he would unloose the congresSion- al wolves, which came swarming down on the executive branch of the government yelling monopoly and claiming that all government orders were going to three alum mum firms-Alcoa, Reynolds, and Kaiser.
 This desire to help little busin- ess and to broaden the present semi monopoly of aluminium was the chief and justifiable reason why men like Jess Larson and Os- car Chapman stuck with the deal.
 Chapman, however, almost threw in the sponge when he discovered that his former assistant Secretary of the Interior, Girard Davidson, was one of the Harvey lobbying team, employed to push through the $46,000000. Catching his ex- subordinate-then working as a special oonsultant - buttonholing officials inside the Interior De- partment, Chapman fired him.
 But the most amazing feature of these many months of dicker- ing was that no one inside the government ever thought to check with the Army, Navy, and Air Force regarding Harvey's wartime performance. Nor did the Armed Services take the trouble to warn the REC, Interior Department, or Defense mobilization.
 Had they done so, they would have discovered not only the damning facts published by this column yesterday, but such nota- tions as that of commander J. c. Arnold, USN, who was stationed at the Harvey plant during the war:
 The Harvey family has repeat edly put pressure on Navy Depart ment inspectors and were entirely unethical in dealing with the Navy Department" Commander Arnold wrote. He added that he could not induce the company to work on 24-hour schedule nor on Sundays, despite the Navy's need for shells.
 Another significant paragraph in government files is a statement by John T. Hughes, personnel man. ager for Harvey. Interviewed by government inspectors, he stated:
 The Harvey family is a group of individuals who thought they could buy anything or any person"
 In the present case, some off cials feel that the Harvey Con- pany tried to bulldoze more than buy their way into one of the big gest loans of the cold-war period. For the time being, however, that loan has been stopped.

in their withholding taxes every week to raise it. Furthermore the proposed s46,ooo.oOo to the Harvey Machine Go. of Los Ang- eles by the REC to make alumi- mum is T1e of the largest loans consideredin the present cold-wal period. -
 Despite this, this bonanza tc Harvey was officially recommend ed on August 28, and has only now been held up because of new information unearthed by this col umn.
 Aforesaid information shows not only that 1.-the Harvey Company was recommended by the Navy for prosecution for sabotage during the war, but also was in constant hot water with, the Air Force. The sa- botage charge was based on Har- yey,s making of oversized gauges allegedly for the. purpose of pass ing faulty naval shells. And al though the charge was not prose- cuted. Naval authorities expressed the opinion in writing to Washing ton that the faulty projectiles pro- duced by the Harvey Company were likely to liam guns, travel ill er- ratio courses, or explode prematur- ely.
 The full story of how the Har- vey family 4came within hairs breadth of-getting this huge gov- ernment loan is one of the most amazing stories of this amazing capital.
 Investing in the Democrats
 It began shortly after World War II, when by systematic con- tributions to the Democratic par ty, the Harveys bought in" on the party, first in California, later on the national committee. They also played up local demand for war factories, thus got congressman from California, Washington and Montana all throwing their weight around for the Harvey loan.
 California congressman were for the Harvey's because their plant was located near Los Angeles. Montana congressman were for the Harveys because the new alum mum plant was to be near the Hungry Horse dam in Montana. And Washington congressman were for the Harveys because their al- umina plant was to be near Se- attle
 With this backing. the Harveys camped out in California congress man Kings office as if they owned it, became so insolent with war assets administrator Jess Larson

But If today and tomorrow are. to be
cleansed and ennobled, the grace Of sim
plicity must be more than q relic. 1t must
be a religion. ,
In religion at its highest and best
there must be sincerity, one Of the sure
fruits Of which is simplicity. In speak
ing Of the Duke Of Wellington, Tenny-
son declares him to be "as the greatest
only are. in his simplicity sublime" How
true Is that appraisal! Simple as the
greatest only are! It is the little men
who are mysterious, aloof, complex, and
who love prestige and pedestals. Really
great men are always as depicted in the
phrase used to describe Phillips Brooks:
Simple and transparent as child"
After observing men Of all classes and
ranks during go years Of public min
istry. John Wesley. founder of Meth
odism, declared: "Sublimity and simplic-
ity go together" When we reach the
masters. Epictetus. Socrates. Lincoln
and, above all, Jesus, they talk to us in
the simple language of the street. Their
sentences are homespun and childlike.
It is the fakirs who are complex. Those
who know but little and would seem to
know much are mysterious. The masters
bafhe us by their plainness."

of surviving is so strenuous that 1t well might
be wondered what we would do without the aid
of the organization symbolized by "the Mother

moned to its assistance. 1t is a privilege as
well as duty to answer generously and promptly.

Red Cross in 1851

This middle year of the twentieth century
Is year of crisis and tension. What is happening
in Korea may be duplicated by events in Europe
or the Near East any moment. Meanwhile, here
at home the gradually increasing pressure of the
overall rearmament program is being felt with
progressive senSitivity. No family, no neighbor-
hood, can remain exempt from the pressure of
these compelling times. Many Americans realize
this already, others are learning to appreciate
1t as day follows day.
The Red Cross, established as far back as
1881, is one of the agencies to which people
instinctively turn whenever trouble threatens.
Demands upon it's facilities are becoming more
and more imperative. 1t is working in the
Orient an integral factor of the United Nations
resistance to Communist imperialism; it is help
ing to hold the line set up in the North Atlantic
pact; it is active in every army and navy camp
and station under the American flag in North
America. It's medical and nursing services alone
justify it's existence both in the domestic scene
and overseas.
Everybody knows the record of the Red

toward fellowship and mercy felt by millions of

The Star has been the recognized news

1t is a sad commentary on our times
