as to quality and as to quantity.
j. B. Bonny. who heads a COM
bine of five big private contractors
on the multi-million dollar prof.
ect. was scheduled to testify before
the Senate Preparedness Subcom-
mittee.
For months both Senate and
House committees have been pub
licly criticizing waste and extrava-
gance in building the African
bases.
Representatives of Mr.. Bonny
and the contracting group said
they have been trying to get a
chance to deny these charges un-
der oath for many weeks.
Says Testimony Is Misleading.
Mr.. Bonny, in prior written pro-
tests, has contended the congress
sional testimony. Investigations
and reports have been one-sided
unbalance and misleading.
Lyman Wilbur, son of a former
Secretary of the Navy and resident
partner for the contractors in
French Morocco. was another
scheduled witness.
Army Secretary Pace stepped
into the dispute on March % with
a shakeup of officers of the Army
engineers in charge of the projects
and a threat to terminate con-
tracts unless reforms asked by
congressional probes were put into
Operation.
Chairman Lyndon B. johnson
of the Senate Defense Watchdog
subcommittee has publicly criti-
cized the North African air bases
project as lone sordid mess"
Senator Johnson said testimony
indicated that original costs OF
about $500 million had been upped
to $445 million, that runway Speci-
fcations were ignored and that
there was ineficiency, kickbacks
and graft.
Cites Long Delays.
Mr.. Bonny said the contractors
ran into long delays in landing
equipment and men, through a
hitch in agreements between
French Moroccan and United
States authorities.
Sites and plans for the base
were changed several times, he
said, so that instead of building
one new field ind reconStructine
-four old World War II bases, five
new bases were finally started.
He said two of them were COM
pleted on the deadline and hav'
been in use by heavy bombers
Others are being completed.
"You can build air bases fast
or you can build them cheaply,
Mr.. Bonny said. But not both.

ConvoIescent Home
Helps Mother of -Four
Burdened by Illness

A little boy, 13 months old,
was admitted to the Chill
dren's Convalescent Home this
week for at least three months
to recover from a series of
illnesses.
How this boy went there is
important.
He was one of twins. His
brother died at birth and he
had never been able to catch
up with babies of his age be-
cause of inadequate food and
the series of illnesses.
The father was sent to a
tuberculosis sanatorium short
ly before the birth of the
twins. The mother had to
appeal for public assistance in
order to stay home with the
surviving twin and three other
young children.
She has been able to keep
the children together. But.
she was unable to provide the
food. medicine and care need
ed for the little twin.
That is why the twin was
admitted to the Children's
Convalescent Home. The home
is a Red Feather agency.
Through the Community
Chest-USO Fund Drive, you
can give money which will
help continue the important
community service this home
provides for families with

Tariff Board Refuses
To Ask Higher Duties
On Tuna and Bonito
BY the Associated Press

The Tariff Commission has re-
fused to recommend increased
duties on tuna canned in brine or
on any type of canned bonito.
Two of the five members dis
sented. President Truman may
accept or disregard the commits
sion action.
Most of the tuna imported by
this country comes from Peru
and Japan. The biggest American
tuna and bonito fishing operations
are on the Pacific Coast.
Probe on Frozen Tuna.
Present tariff rates vary from
10 to % per cent of the value of
the canned fish. The commission
is working on an investigation of
frozen tuna imports, which are
duty-free.
Chairman Oscar B. Ryder and
the other two members of the
majority agreed that tuna is mot
being imported in such increased
quantities, either actual or rela-
tive, as to cause or threaten seri-
GUS injury to the domestic indus
try producing like or directly COM
petitive products"
The commission said shipments
from Peru and Japan are likely
to be small in the last quarter
of this year. It added. however.
that by 1949. Japan for the first
time after the war became an i'm
portant supplier . In the same
year imports of bonito in oil (vir-
tually all from Peru were for the
first time on a large scale.
after 1949 aggregate imports of
canned tuna and bonito were on
very much higher level than in
1949 or in prewar years."
Views of Dissenters.
Edgar B. Brossard and the late
John P. Gregg were the dissenters.
Mr.. Gregg died before this report
was drafted, but his views were
included.
They said excessive imports in
United States markets at prices
much lower than the competitive
domestic product can be sold for
at profit. have forced domestic
tuna prices so low that serious
financial losses have been sus-
tanned by the domestic tuna in
dustry during the past two years."

estimated today that 8 per cent
of the front-line troops there
were from the island.
Col. Juan C. Cordero. who has
just returned from command of

from Puerto Ricans who wanted
to transfer to his unit.
He described the tremendous
enthusiasm of the Puerto Rican
soldiers in battle and said that
in one recent engagement a de-
tachment suffered 100 per cent
casualties.
Of the 115 men from the 65th
Regiment fighting for Kelly Hill,

they were overrun by the Chi

'You know he died before air con-
ditioning became popular" Grace
said. She looked at Harry with hum
BILE eyes; a devoted dog, imploring
a pat on the head. 1.-THE summers
almost over, dear"
His fun was over, too, thought
Harry. After the dressing-down he'd
received from that old dodo, Ben
Smith, he'd have to watch his step
at the hospital. Yes, definitely, his
fun was at an end.
Grace said coyly, will you pour
me a drink"
She leaned forward, smiling and
holding out her glass. She was wear
ing white with jet in her ears and
around her neck. 1t was so hot she
had left her throat bare. There was
a deep cavity beneath her chin and
on each side of it the flesh hung
loose and flabby. Harry remem-
bered Kate's throat, slender and
firm and white. He had dreamed of
pressing his lips against that throat
right where a pulse beat.
He picked up the cocktail shaker.
The ice tinkled family. He walked
across the room and refilled his
wife's glass.
Were you at the hospital today?"
she inquired,

''Your brother has no use for Kate

Nobody asked Edith what she
meant. Grace had picked up a palm
leaf fan. She was welding it with
great energy though the current of
air she created seemed to bring her
no relief.
HAS that girl lifted a finger to
help you since you've been without
maid?" she demanded of Mrs.
Smith.
I'D hardly expect Kate to leave
her work at the hospital, Grace. I
suppose you know she's on a case
Of Harry's?"
1t was a body blow. Grace bent
forward, ostensibly to pick up an
empty picture frame leaning against
the wall but actually she felt obliged
to shield her face until she regained
control Of herself. With q jealous
pang she remembered Harry's great
care with his appearance Of late,

in, Grace, is fast going to the dogs"
What on earth do you mean?"
Remember what said the night
Of the Smiths dinner?" Harry spoke
slowly, allowing each word to echo

the taste Of treachery in his mouth.
about Ben and that woman in
tern, Kate Fuller? / said I thought
there was something between them.
Well, now I'm sure. They're carry
ing on together right there in the
hospital"
For moment Grace sat stunned,
remembering scores of kind things
Effie Smith had done for her
throughout the years.
Grace had been feeling somewhat
ashamed of her GOODNESS toward
Kate on the night of Effie's dinner.
She had even contemplated letter
to Effie inviting her to bring Kate
to call. Now Grace was filled with
thankfulness because she had not
thus encouraged an adventures.

anguished look. Harry, are you

was married to George, and that

for his livelihood. AS she inclined
her slender form toward Grace,
Alice's nostrils fared as if she
smelled danger.

Grace colored with anger.
Take care, Alice"
"It's you who should take care,
Grace. I'll not stand by and listen

A ray Of light was on Edith Ken
yon's face. Her eyes, resting on
Alice, were deep and brilliant.

Grace sat quietly but her fan
moved at furious rate.
Efie's voice finally broke the 81
lence.
"Shall we get on with our task?

MAY I say something?" begged
Edith Kenyon.
She began to talk rapidly. She had
been at her desk making out an
application for a library card that
morning, she said, when the door
opened and half a dozen foreign
looking women came in. Her first
reaction was to presume that the
gypsies were in town. They usually
came in to sell baskets and tell
fortunes. She had gone to usher
the women out and had discovered,
to her surprise, that they were mill
workers and Riverdale residents.
