frauds. . As things stand now, the Government can act against election crookedness only. in general ‘elections. In the 3 i famous Newber- »~. Mr. Rogge ~ y case the Sui. ; {.preme Court tiled the Corrup Practice Act un“constitutional.in so far as it applied Ao primaries, which were held to be purely state concerns. Mr. Rogge hopes to get the Court to reverse this ruling on the ground that the civil liberties statute— which provides penalties for persons who conspire to deprive a citizen ‘of his legal rights—can be ‘applied to primary, electicns. This ‘statute, passed shortly after the , Civil War to protect the mew civil tights of Southern Negroes, has “been resurrected under the New ‘Deal and was. used effectively in cleaning up the Kansas City elec‘tion fraud cases.
sm Officials Accused
" Rogge spent some time in Lousisifina (this year attacking various forms of political corruption. Figuring a Democratic nomination dn Louisiana is equal to election, he decided to chance (a court test on the plea that depriving a citizen of] ‘his rights in such a primary is a Federal offense. .. The case he brought is an indictment against five election officials in the second Louisiana Congressional District, in New Orleans. Charge is that these men phenagled vote totals [in favor of T. Hale Boggs, the winning candidate. ‘Carefully worded so as to get in ander the civil liberties statute, the indictment charges the officials conspired to deprive the two losing candidates, and also those who voted for them, of theif legal rights. : Lower court in Louisiana threw the indictment out, sustaining a defense demurrer which argued that the Federal Government can’t touch primaries. Rogge is taking an appeal direct to the Supreme
Milligan in Picture
Behind-the-scenes aspects of the case are fully as interesting as those in the foreground. ; Mr, Roggle is somewhat out of favor at the Justice Department right now—as witness the recent
Maurice M. Milligan, special assistant to the Attorney General, to handle vote fraud | cases. That previously had been strictly Mr. Rogge’s field. Should He win this case, however, it would “have | the effect of swinging him back into the saddle. Mr. Milligan’s sudden rise took the play away from him, | If Mr. Rogge could nail down the Government's right to intervene in| primaries he in turn would take the play away from Mr. Milligan. " Rumors have heen current lately that Mr. Rogge will eventually be replaced, presumably by Mr. Milli-
ing to most predictions. Mr. Rogge is said to have displeased the Administration during the summer, when in the Middle West he disflayed a willingness to open fire on Democratic politicians. "And in Springfield, Ill, the other day, Mr. Rogge took the trouble to dény that high politicians are try‘ing to sway his conduct of a Federal Grand Jury there investigating al-

ARMY 1S COOL
Brothers Who Profited by 20 Million Last Time, Talk Launderies.
Times Special ¥ WASHINGTON, Nov. A 6.—The Silverman brothers—Nathan and § | Joseph Jr.—were reported today to be looking for ‘‘a good thing” again in connection with the national defense. Inquiry at the War Department brought an informal forecast that if the brothers are seeking Army contracts they “won't get anywhere.” After the World War, the Silvermans did a big business in the purchase and resale of Army surpluses, such as underwear. Congressional investigations and Army court martials resulted. It was charged that the brothers had cleared $20,000,000 in 15 years. ~ Today the Silvermans are said to be trying to horn in on the Army’s laundry business. But the War Department says that it will operate its own laundries at camps and

laundries will be constructed ny private contractors it is safe to say the Silvermans will get no such contracts. It .is understood at the department that ‘the Silvermans conceived a project of putting up commercial laundries near Army posts.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 6 (U.P).
~ “Skin-Tite” Skating
Mines’ is on the trail of new do-| mestic sources and industrial and
defense uses of mangaiicse, the most abundant nonferrous heavy metal in the earth’s crust, Dr. R. S. Dean, | chief engineer of the metallurgical division has revealed. Dr. Dean said manganese someday may rank as one of the most important of metals. : Experiments have shown that manganese alone—not an alloy with steel as it now is mainly used —has many desirable—and peculiar —industrial qualities, the engineer disclosed. “We have found that manganese, with a slight addition of copper and after a suitable heat treatment, has a unique vibration dampening capacity,” Dr. Dean said. > “When struck, it produces less noise than stel or even lead,” he added. “This is a valuable property in gears and many machines where vibration absorption is a factor.” War Cut Imports
Dr. Dean said all present uses of pure or nearly-pure manganese are “projected” — not definitely established. He believed that with |: development “uses will be found that will develop a market for electrolytic manganese, independent of its use by the steel industry.” Most experiments are concerned with development of electrolytic manganese instead of the more common ferro-manganese, that is used in an impure form to harden steel. Dr. Dean said the war has reduced the importation of maganese ore from Russia and India, formerly the two principal sources of supply, leaving only Brazilian and Cuban ore available for American needs. “We hope to develop the domestic sources through the electrolytic process,” Dr. Dean said, “And at the me time find new uses for the metal.” ‘
Explore More Deposits
Manganese is nearly 10 times as plentiful as copper, lead and zinc combined, the mining engineer said, but the amount and purity produced “up to the present have been controlled entirely by the requirements of the steel industry.” To develop metods of producing electrolytic manganese, the Bureau of Mines is constructing a $300,000 experimental plant at Boulder City, Nev. It is near Boulder Dam and the “Las Vegas Wash,” one of the largest known deposits of manga-
nd regulations.
