'Rented' Labor Is Undergoing Probe Probe Profiteering Os War Contractors Washington. Dec. 30-tl’Pl—A congressional committee now is concentrating on what it culls a growing type <>f profiteering —that of “Renting" labor. The special house military affairs group reveals that certain skilled workers are fanned out to war contractors at rates ranging ax high as 650 a day. The practice is said to tie particulrlay widespread among ariia.ll tool-making firms which "rent out” their worker to aircraft companies holding government contracts. Representative Sparkman of Alabwma poln’s out that it’s the taxpalens who foot the bill for these 63'» and 650-a-day-per-man rentals under the customary cost-plus-fixed-fee government contract. Incidentally. this system <»f renting workers originated in Nazi Germany. The committee has not yet determined whether the toolmakers themselves are under contract to the supplying Jirms, or whether they are merely workers willing to be farmed out at their employer's pleasure. However, it has been learned that in some cases, the supplying firm made a profit of mere than 40 percent. One company is said to have reported a net profit of 3500,000 on a single transaction Another is sal dto have reaped 6‘00.00U in a deal involving only a small number of men. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE £ Mams— -■ l> ' "»“■ - — Tobacco Smoke Odor To rid a room from the smell of tobacco smoke, place a lump of crystal ammonia in a jar with ‘hree or four drops of oil of laven-
