Mr.. and Mrs. Moulten B. Joseph,
of Lewes, announce the engage
ment Of thir daughter, Nancy Jane,
to Mr.. Willard S. Burbage, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Straton s. Burbage,
of Ocean View. Miss Joseph is a,
graduate of the L.ewes High School
and is employed at Bryan and Roll
Inns, of Lewes. Mr.. Burbage attend
ed Lord Baltimore High School and
Brown Vocational School. He is
new employed at the SeafOrd NylOn

With union fisherman staying
home until they get a contract with
the fishing companies, the local
menhaden plants are using college
students and "pick up" crews to
man the fishing vessels. Mayor
Otis w. Smith, president of the
Fish Products Company, says he
has kept his II steamships in Oper-
alton with substitute help. The
Consolidated Fisheries operates 5
vessels.
None OF the unlOnlzed nshefmen
live in Lewes. Their homes are in
the ports of the chartered vessels,
in the Reedville, Va, area. A
spokesman of the International
Fur and Leather Workers Union,
which organized the fishermen,
said the refusal to use union men
exists chiefly in the menhaden in
dustry among companies all along
the coast, as far south as Florida
and the Gulf of Mexico.

Crowder. Mr.. Bernard apparently
promised orally to let Mr.. Nee
lease Camp Crowder buildings.
Mr.. Myers, meanwhile, offered
to store between 2 and 6 mil
lion bushels of grain at Camp
Crowder for the Agriculture De-
partment.
$25,OOO Put in Venture.
Woodrow Walton. as head of
the Agriculture Departments
Commodity Office In Kansas City,
promised to store at least 2 mil
lion bushels of grain with Mid
west. He later put it in writing
in a supplemental" contract.
John Cowan. assistant di-
rector Of the Kansas City Office,
testified there were only two
other such deals in the Kansas
City area. One was negotiated
by Carl Rice, Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Mis-
souri.)
When Midwest got this promise,
lit formally leased the Camp
Crowder buildings and signed the
storage agreement with Agricul-
ture. Then the partners put their,
first money into the venture-a
total Of $4,000.
The inexperienced men had
plenty Of trouble-grain for stor-
age arrived faster than they could
unload it. Some of the buildings
collapsed under the weight of the
grain. And. as result Of the
Korean war, the Army asked the
return of some of the buildings.
The grain had to be shipped out
sooner than expected. This cut
heavily into the profits that Mid
west sought. '
/ Senator Williams has COM
planned that Midwest got extra
ordinarily favorable terms in leas-
ing the building from Camp
Crowder. Agriculture paid regular
storage rates to Midwest.
No Financial Statement.
Testimony showed. however,
that Agriculture signed the stor-
age contract without getting Mid
west to file . statement showing
its financial assets. All compa-
mics storing Government grain
are required to file the financial
statement, but Midwest didn't.
AS q result. nobody at Agricul-
ture discovered that Midwest at
the time of signing the contract
had no cash assets and that the
firms president. Mr.. Myers, was in
an income tax dispute with the
Government. IF Agriculture had
known this. it would have required
Midwest to triple the bond it
was putting up.

souri,. and one-time Democratic

Mr.. Myers ran a string OF coin
