Ul LEGAL CRAFTS’

Buying Through Politicians Cost $2,000,000 Yearly, : It Now Appears.

By WILLIAM H. NEWTON = Times Special Writer ! COLUMBUS, 0. Jan. 25.—Ohio ' outlawed “legal graft” in its State Government a year ago. Now, after a full year of conducting the State’s business on a competitive basis, it appears that the d licy of buying through political ddlemen was costing the taxpayers not less than $2,000,000 annually, Printing costs have been cut. 36%, for an annual saving of $20,000, since the change in State administrations last January. A saving of $692,861 was made fast year in the food bill for the State’s welfare institutions, although for the first time the State Purchasing Agent has required that all food purchased must pass Fed-

4% eral inspection.

Coffee Cost Cut 40%

Under the preceding administration, practically 211 of the coffee for 23 state institutions was bought from one politician. The present administration has bought its cof- | “yfee in a competitive market, and

im per cent. These reductions are typical of the cuts in the food bill: Corn syrup, 25 per cent; vegetable shortening, 30 per ‘cent; canned tomatoes, 23.8 per cent; canned apples, 224 per cent; dried prunes, 46.4 per cent; raisins, 43.5 per -cent; Michigan pea beans, 59.6 per cent. Liquor trucking costs under the

State monopoly system have been |@

cut $169,281 a year.

When Martin L. Davey was Gov- :

ernor, the trucking concession was awarded to a group of politicians who owned no trucks. They sublet the contract to an established trucking firm. The trucking company was paid 11% cents a case

for actually hauling the liquor. The |!

1§ Political middlemen were paid 5%

f |

cents a case, presumably for their “pull” The same trucking firm, how dealing directly with the State Liquor Department, handles the = liquor now for 10% cents a se > Warehousing Costs Less The cost of warehousing the state’s liquor h#is been slashed $92,257 a year. A net saving of $21,286 has been made by negotiating new insurance and suretybond contracts in this department. The State had 25 more liquor stores in operation last year than the year before, yet the rental bill was lower by $171, 330. #Operating on a competitive basis, the State Highway Department is saving $460,000 a year in the construction of “hot mix” bituminous roads. The average cost of this material has been cut from $14.25 a cubic yard to $10. The Highway Department is saving $215,000 a year in the purchase of road oil, as- . phalt and tar. Motor oil, which used to cost 55 cents a gallon, now

costs only 43 cents, The eampaign -against “legal graft” was launched in Ohio in after the Scripps-Howard

1937, hewspapers’ disclosure that an official of an association of highway contractors was indicating in his bulletins the names of success§1 ful bidders on state projects days before the bids were officially opened by the Highway Department.

Cleared Through Middlemen

. Further investigations. revealed that most of the State's business was being cleared through a -ring of middlemen associated with Dem--ocratic State Headquarters. { With the defeat of former GovJernor Davey at the primary election, both the Democratic and Republican nominees for Governor were on record against legal graft practices, and upon the election of Governor John W. Bricker, the Republican, the State’s business was pmmediately placed on a strictly ‘competitive ‘basis. The new Governor’s executive orders were followed by {he enactment of an! anti-graft act, dealing broadly with conspiracies to defraud the state.

Sing a Song s Of Soapsuds

LOS ANGELES, Jan, 25. (U. B). —The superiority of bathtub warbling — to the warbler — was upheld by three University of Southern California professors today. Their theories: Dr. Arthur W. Nye, physicist—

“The hard surface of the bathroom does not absorb sounds, so they are reflected with greater resonance. The water makes an even better reflector. These factors conbine to make the voice sound better to the soaking Caruso and give him reason for singing.” Dr. Horatio Cogswell of the School of Music—“In the tub or shower you can hear your voice with your inner ear because it is reflected from a surface so near to you.” Dr. Floyd L. Ruch, psychologist —“There is added pep brought up by the stimulus of water striking the body. The informality of the bathroom where the individual can sing without feaT of disapproval or of being embarrassed is what does it.”

COMPENSATION

George Smith Heads Local Office of State’s Jobless Aid Unit.

Appointment of George J. Smith as manager of the local office of the State Unemployment Compensation Division was announced today by Wilfred Jessup, director. Mr. Smith formerly was in charge of the Indianapolis office of the -Indiana State “Employment Serve ice. The Empioyment Service and the Claim Service

parts of the 3 RS Compensa- : tion Division, Ms. Smith recently were consolidated into one division with single field office heads. Before the integration each field office had a claims deputy in charge of unemployment insurance work and an employment manager who supervised the job placement activities. Lester W. Kassing, who has been in charge of job insurance activities in the Indianapolis district, has been promoted to manager of: the

Ft. Wayne field office of the Com-

pensation Division, Mr. Smith has been connected with the State Employment Service since Dec. 8, 1933, shortly after the agency began in Indiana.

Cech M, other Drops Dead

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 (U. P.)— Anthony Fiala, a Chicago Czech, returned from Europe today with a story of how, in Prague he had found his brother in the hands of the secret police, insane. - His mother fell dead when she was informed, he said. Mr. Fiala said he received word last ‘June that his brother, a hotel proprietor, was seriously ill. When he got to Prague he learned that the secret police had his brother in custody. “I went to see him,” Mr. Fiala said. “I don’t know what the Gestapo had done to him, but.I found him out of his mind. I tried to keep my mother from seeing him— my father had dropped dead during the Sudeten troubles—but she insisted on going with me on a second visit. When she saw him she

dropped dead, too. I had to leave

my brother in Prague, but when 1 got to Paris I tried to enlist in the Czech Legion. They turned me down, however, because I was an American citizen.” Mr. Fiala, an official of the Bata Shoe Co., said conditions in Czechoslovakia are “terrible.” “There are 20,000 Czechs in prison,” he said. “During the trouble at the University in Prague last Oct. 28 the Gestapo rounded up all of the students and took them to

the airport outside of Prague. There they took every 10th student and shot him in front of all the others. “One of those slain. was Jan Opietal, ‘leader of the students. The Nazis ordered Dr. A. Jarisek, a prominent Prague physician, to make out. a certificate that Opletal had died of pneumonia. When he refused they threw him into prison.”
