While his main job was to care
for our wounded. he took time off
to dive in trench and knife one
enemy soldier to death and XIII
Two others with his bare hands
Wounded in the leg. he started

When he was set upon by a cou-

banged their heads together and
went on about his business.
No radar, time fuses, or other

Bridges Group Hires
4Ex-FBI Agents for
Surplus Investigation
By the Asseeiated Press

The Senate's rash of investi-
cations was broadened today
with the Appropriations Com
mittee's hiring of four former
FBI agents for a practically un-
limited field Of inquiries.
Confirming employment Of the
staff, Chairman Bridges said the
four will investigate anything
and everything the committee
thinks is necessary to the intelli-
gent handling of money bills"
AS an example, Senator
Bridges said the agents-headed
by Paul Kammerick with Elliott
Wyman as counsel-probably
will look first into reports of
terrific waste" in the handling
OF surplus property.
Chance Of Overlap Discounted.
1--WE have been told that some
agencies have declared certain
items surplus, disposed of them
for almost nothing, and a short
time later other agencies have
come along and bought them
for about what they originally
COST" Senator Bridges said.
Although the Senate's Perma-
nent Investigating Committee
headed by Senator Mccarthy,
Republican, of Wisconsin has
somewhat similar broad author
ity, Republicans said they don't
expect any clash between the
two groups.
8 Inquiries Now Underway.
The appropriations inquiries
apparently will be aimed
primarily at furnishing con-
f1dential information to CON-
mittee members and not-aS in
Senator McCarthy's case-bring-
ing matters to public attention
through open hearings.
The new addition brought to
eight the number of Senate in
veStigatlonS currently under
way.

Quiries, Majority Leader Taft
chided his colleagues yesterday

Benson Tries to Cut Supplies
OfU. S. Butter to Spur Industry

terday that it had offered so
million pounds of its butter to
the Army at prices competitive
with margarine. The National
Association of Margarine Manu-
facturers protested this action
as discrimination"
If the Army accepts, the Agri-
culture Department would have
only about 20 million pounds left
from the 143 million it bought
under the support program dur
ing the marketing year ending
last March 81. The remainder
has been donated to the non
profit school lunch program and
to charitable institutions.
A year ago, the trade was buy
ing butter and storing it. BY fall
it had stacked up 10 million
pounds.
But milk and butter produc-
ton, instead of dropping off as
much as it normally does, in
creased over usual fall and win
ter levels, because of very mild
weather.
AS a consequence, butter pro-
duction was more than sufficient
to meet consumer demands.
There was no market for the
butter the trade had stored.
The trade unloaded onto the
Government under the price
support program and mostly at
prices below those it paid, TAX
ing into account storage charges.
Mr.. Benson apparently feels
that if the Government can dis
pose of these old stocks soon, the
trade may again be willing to
take the extra butter produced
in the months Immediately
ahead instead of leaving the
storage operation to the Gov
ernment.

ment contract to manufacture
complicated lifting trucks.
Jay e. Sullivan, who also was
former general manager of the
Gibson Manufacturing Co., Long,
mont, Colo, was called before a
Government Operations sub
committee, which has heard that
$2.5 million worth of its fork
lift trucks were 'monstrous" and
"unusable."
The trucks, designed for lift
ing heavy loads in warehouses,
were made under a Navy bid
contract in June. 1850.
Paul Cotter, subcommittee
counsel, told reporters the He

Chicago, bought the Gibson
company in 1852, but retained
the name. It now has a Gov

Was Lowest Bidder.
Mr.. Sullivan said in an inter-
view yesterday the Gibson Co.
got the contract because it was
the lowest responsible bidder
and that any suggestion of
undue influence "is silly" He
added that the Navy, "of all
the branches of service, is more
inclined to give small business a
chance-which seems to be
questioned in this hearing"
In Chicago, Harold Rosen.
present manager of the Gibson
Co.. said the investigation in
volved management trouble"
prior to the change in owner
ship of the firm, but that in
spection of records showed the
contract was let publicly to the
lowest bidder.
"The Navy accepted the bid
and the equipment was manu-
factured under Navy specifica-
tions," he continued. Some
equipment is still being used by
the Navy and this is evidenced
in that parts are still being sup
piled to the Navy"
Changes Were Recommended.

Normally, the industry and
spectators buy any surplus pro-
duction in the spring and sum-

fall and winter, when produc-

higher in the fall-winter season
than in spring and summer.
But as long as the Government
holds large stocks acquired un-
der farm price supports. there
is little or no incentive for the
trade to perform this function
Of storing for the future.
