Democratic Official
In Kansas Grain Deal
Now Under Inquiry
By jones {. Roper

A Democratic National Com
mitteeman from Kansas, Carl v.
Rice, helped set up a grain stor-
age deal now under Government
investigation, it was disclosed last
night.
The General Accounting Office
has reported the case to the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee, which
is expected to hold public hear
ings on it this week.
According to the GAO, Mr.. Rice
represented the Harry E. Surface
Industrial Storage Co. in negoti-
ations with the Agriculture De-
partment.
The Department gave the firm
q contract for storing Government
wheat at the Yoder Naval Air Sta
ton, Hutchinson. Kans. Mr.. Rice,
however, is reported to have per-
suaded the Agriculture Depart
ment to exempt the storage firm
from responsibility for airing or
fumigating the grain. These pro-
cesses are necessary to keep wheat
from spelling.
Formerly With RFC.
About $4,000 worth of the
wheat deteriorated. But the COM
pany says the Government must
take the loss because of the un-
usual contract clause exempting
the storage firm from caring for
the grain.
Mr.. Rice formerly was counsel
IN the Kansas City Office of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
At one time, according to GAO,
he negotiated to lease the entire
Yoder air station with the inten-
ton Of having the Surface COM
pany operate it for him. This
deal, however, fell through and
Surface finally leased only one
building at the air station and
used it to store the Agriculture
Departments wheat.
This is one of three new cases
GAO presented to the Senate
Committee. which for 10 weeks
has been investigating Irregular
tiles in the Governments program
to store farm commodities.
The products are put in storage
to keep them off the market and
thus strengthen prices. ~
No Recovery Effort Made.
Other new cases involve beansI
and fiaxseed. In each case, the
Government got gypped and, GAO
found, failed. to take necessary
steps to recover the loss.
In the bean case, the Govern
ment paid for higher quality than
1t actually received. In the case
of f1axseed, producers shipping
to the Government padded the
bottom of freight cars with Gin
ders or other trash. The Govern /
ment paid for full carloads. sa,.
The adulterated shipments
escaped detection at the shipping
point because Government inspect |
tors used probes too short to
reach the bottom of the freight
cars. Shippers knew this, so felt
safe in spreading trash at the
bottom.
The detection was discovered at
the unloading point, but GAO
says Agriculture Department Of
6cials in Washington did not take
vigorous action to punish the dis
honest shippers.
Committee investigators report
numerous other "interesting"
cases are in Investigators file, but
generally duplicate the irregular
practices found in other storage
cases.
The committee probably will
shut off the hearings soon in order
to complete its report on the
$50,000 investigation. Under the
Senate resolution authorizing the
inquiry. the report must be COM
pleted bv June 3n

q. C.. OFFICE

CONFORMATION OFFICE
THE ACT CREATING the Virgin Islands Office Of IN
formation in Washington has been vetoed by the Governor,
as was expected Members Of the Legislative Assembly had
threatened to meet in extraordinary session to override the
veto, and lay final plans for the setting up Of the office.
SUCH "a MOVE BY the Assemblymen would obviously
be an attempt to do something about the need for a resident
Commissioners IN Washington. Most other territories, including
our nearest neighbor, Puerto Rico, have had resident commits
sioners in Washington. And of this we are sure. Just why this
has not been the case with the Virgin Islands has never really
been fully known, but the fact remains that there is no such
for us.
Thee OVERNOR reasons for the veto, as were expect
ed, sound reasonable enough. This Bill" he wrote,
specifically contravenes section "a Of the Organic Act Of the
Virgin Islands which provides that: The Governor shall APP
point. by and with the advice and consent Of the Municipal
Council having Jurisdiction, all salaried officers and en-
ployees Of the municipal governments whose salaries are pro-
vided for III the budgets Of the municipal governments He
states further that: On purely constitutional grounds alone,
this bill is manifestly invalid and cannot be approved as it
seeks to exercise an authority which was not conferred on the
Legislative Assembly BY the Congress Of the United States,
and in bis opinion we should devote our energies to continu-
inc efforts to convince the Us. Congress that we need a
Resident Commissioner in Washington, and that the bill
would retard rather than advance TINS oDlec1Ve. however
what the Assembly must have had IN mind was that these
Islands deserve to have a resident commissioner Further, the
Assembly no doubt has in mind that much Of what these Is
lands deserve would be ours if the Internal Revenue taxes
were returned.
THERE BE no doubt that there IS real need for
such an Office as has been voted by the Assembly. People all
over the continental United States must know more about US
as tie days 60 by, and the more they come to know the more
readily will legislation favorable to these islands pass the
Congress.
