Storage Firm 5 Agent
Tells Fraud Trial Of
Talks With CoWart

K A manufacturers representa-
tive today testified the only in
formation he ever obtained from
Jack Cowart, former Agriculture
Department official, was public
information available to every
one.
Cowart, 46, and two former
officials of a Louisiana ware
house firm, are on trial in Alex
andria District Court on fraud
charges. Cowart was Deputy
Chief of the Production and
Marketing Administration of the
Agriculture Department from
January. 1949, to August, 1852.
He recently completed serving
an 18-month prison term on a
conviction of accepting money
for exerting his official influence
on behalf of a prefabricated
home firm.
Cowart specifically is accused
of receiving $26,375 worth of
stock in the Baton Rouge Ware
house Co., Inc.
Tells of Contract Work.
The first witness called by the
Government was the manufac-
turers' representative, Samuel
Haines, of 4407 Sixteenth street
NV. Mr.. Haines related his ef-
forts to obtain contracts for the
storage of surplus grain and cot
ton by a Chicago firm. These
negotiations he carried on with
the Federal Government also
were aimed at buying the Baton
Rouge warehouse from the War
Assets Administration.
Mr.. Haines said the whole
matter was dropped when the
warehouse was sold to other in
terests. He related various con-
versations he had had with
Cowart during the negotiations
in 1949.
"The only information Cowart
ever gave us, we could have OBJ
tanned through other channels.
It was public information avail
able to any one," he declared.
The Government, by calling
Mr.. Haines. apparently intended
to begin tracing the history of
the warehouse. Jack Motley, 43,
and Tom E. Foster, 46, both of
Center, Tex, are on trial also
for aiding and abetting"
Cowart.

Army Surplus Buried
In Camp Drum Dump,
House Probers Told
By the Associated Press

CAMP DRUM, N. Y, Oct. g.
Testimony that batteries orig
inally valued at $4,000 were
buried in an Army dump here
has prompted a Congressman'S
plea for common sense in pro-
curement and disposal of mill
tary property"
Capt. Manuel S. Pima, post
surplus property officer, told the
House Armed Services Subcom-
mittee yesterday the dry cell
batteries were "unServiceable."
"I felt putting up $4,000
worth of unserviceable batteries
for sale would not be worth the
paper work." the officer explained
when asked why they had not
been advertised.
Other witnesses told of a
$4,000 ammonia refrigeration
plant that was sold as surplus
for $1,369.
Hopes for Common Sense"
Representative Riehlnan, Re-
publican, of New York, Suhcom-
mittee chairman, commented at
the close Of the one-day hearing
on surplus property sales at
Camp Drum that he hoped "the
day will arrive when we can use
some common sense in procure
ment and disposal of military
property"
He declined any statement on
the committee findings until
members who could not attend
the session studied testimony of
II witnesses.
Mr.. Riehlman criticized mill
tary red tape" which he said
made it almost impossible to
transfer useful equipment from
one unit to another. He pledged
his committee would make every
effort to "See that regulations
are changed to correct some of
these evils"
Mr.. Riehlman observed that
1--WE did mot expect to find bill
lions of dollars of waste up here,
but it is these small amounts
that add up to millions of dol
lars of waste in taxpayers money
and cause unfavorable publicity
for the Army"
Stemmed From Telegram.
The hearing stemmed from a
telegram sent by Representative
Taber, Republican, of New York,
to Army Secretary Stevens, in
which he said he had read in
a newspaper of a major scandal
sale of Army property at Camp
Drum"
Col. John R. Bedell, command
ing officer at Camp Drum, has
said equipment originally valued
at about 100000 was sold for
$4,000 as the Army moved to
put the post on a standby basis
by October Is. He said most of
the supplies were Junk and OBJ
solete."
Mr.. Riehlman'S group is en-
gagged in what a spokesman has
described as routine" tour of
military installations to gather
information on disposal meth
ods. The members planned to
fly to Warner Robbins Air Force
Base at Macon. Ca, today.

Deny Hornsby Is Under Fire

! Frank Smith had words on the
mound last Monday when Smith
threw too late to catch an adj
vancing runner.
That's a lot of baloney." was
Smiths statement.
Wayne Anderson, the Redleg
trainer, also got into the act by
asserting, II positively and truth
fully have not heard of any anti
HornSby movement"
One Cincinnati baseball writer
said he made no statement about
Hornsby dismissal petition and
that he did not believe any of
the others had done so.
Church Only Player Fined
The gruff and outspoken
Hornsby said he had taken only
one player to task this season.
That was Pitcher Bubba Church,
who was fined because, Hornsby
said, he did not heed a bunt sig
nal.
The Redlegs have been having
their troubles all season and have
been in last place most of the
time for several weeks. Hornsby
and the players, however, have
blamed long string of postpone
ments for the failure of the club
to hit a winning stride.
Hornsby came to the Redlegs
as manager late last season after
having been fired from a similar
job with the St. Louis Browns.
That dismissal stemmed from a
player revolt and differences with
Owner Bill Veeck.

CampaneIIa' S Blasts
Ruin Giants Formula
For Beating Dodgers
By the Assoeiofed Press

No slingshots for Roy Cam
panella-when it comes to killing
Giants he clubs EN- to death.
Going into last nights game at
Ebbets Field. the Giants knew
they had the secret formula for
whipping their hated Brooklyn
rivals. It was simple-stop Cam
PAMELA.
The formula was right. But
the Giants forgot how they were
supposed to make it work.
The New Workers were nurs-
ing a 81 lead in the fourth in
ming. Roy promptly planted a
Jim Hearn pitch in the left
field seats to tie it
With two out in the last of
the ninth. the Giants again
were ahead, 80. A walk and an
error gave Campy another chance
to bat. A single would have tied
the score. A double probably
would have scored both men.
Campanella left no doubts. He
blasted another one into the
midst of the leftf1eld customers
and the Dodgers won it. So.
Ahead of Ruth's Pace.
The performance was no one
night fuke. The powerfully built
Brooklyn catcher with the decep-
tive, Waddling walk, has been
betting the cover off the ball all
spring. The homers were his 18th
and 10th, considerably ahead of
the pace Babe Ruth maintained
the year he hit so. The four runs
he drove in increased his league
leading total in that department
to 81 And he raised his batting
average to 1888. OF his As hits,
more than half have gone for ex-
ira bases.
Campanella's one-man ram
page brought the Dodgers season
record against the Giants to 500
-four victories in eight games.
But it didn't gain them any
ground in the hot National
League race where Milwaukee
kept rolling in front with a ga
decision over the Cubs.
The second-place Cardinals
also won. 6-3, over Cincinnati
for their eighth success in their

He Must Hit 10 Win
Sixth Straight Today
By Burton Hawkins
Stur Sioff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 28.-Bob
Porterf1eld will strive for sixth
straight victory today when he
faces the Yankees and the Mats
trim Highlander is convinced
he'll be forced to continue his
surprising hitting as weM as
pitch superbly to achieve his
goal.
Porterfield. a .357 batter who
has hit safely in six consecutive
games. will be a welcome often
sive addition to the batting Or
der. The Mats have stirred up
only IA hits in their last three
games, but won two of them with
early-inning outbursts.
Mickey Vernon. leading the
league with a 1866 mark. is the
only Washington player hitting
with consistency these days. The
willowy first baseman accounted
for two of Washington's three
hits off accomplished Ed Lopat
yesterday, extending his batting
streak to 20 games.
Ford Tries Again.
Whitley Ford, who failed to
finish in two previous starts
against the Mats, will take the
mound for the Yankees. He'll be
trying to match Lopat's record of
four wins and no defeats.
The Mats will return to Crit
fifth Stadium tomorrow night for
the opener of a three-game series
with the Red Sox. The teams
will meet in a double-header at
Washington Saturday. then shift
to Boston for another double
header Sunday.
Walter MaSterson, who has
pitched two shutouts this season,
absorbed his sixth loss yesterday
as Joe Collins. Billy Martin and
Yogi Berra slammed him for
home runs en- route to a 81
triumph. Masterson has been
clipped for 7 of the 20 homers
yielded by Washington pitchers.
The Mats got off to an encour-
aging start against the Yankees.
Wayne TerWilliger walked in the
first inning and Vernon forced
him, but Mickey continued to
second base on Shortstop Phil
Rizzuto's overthrow to first in an
attempt to complete a double
play. Clyde Vollmer batted across
his 3lSt run with a single to left.
Berra Hits Mighty Blast.
Collins promptly tied the score
with a home run into the right
field stands in the first inning
and Martin lifted the Yankees
into the lead in the third with
a shot which Rugged the left
field foul line and barely eased
into the seats. Berra's blow, also
just inside the foul line, was a
mighty blast into the third deck
of the right-field stands in the
fourth inning.
The Mats didn't obtain their
second hit until Vernon singled
to left with two down in the
sixth inning. Vernon opened the
ninth with a pop-f1y double to
left but didn't advance as Voll-
mer, Jackie Jensen and Pete
Runnels grounded out.
The triumph was Lopat's third
over Washington this year and
his eighth in a row over the club
in three years. The Mats haven't
beaten him since June 26, 1851.
Lopat also snapped the Mats
string of eight wins over left
handed pitching and bumped
them six games back of the
league-leading Yankees.
