WPA TO SEND BILL TO BROWN

Justice Department May Be Embarrased if It

Has to Collect.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 9—Al-| though the Justice Department has| dismissed the WPA fraud indictment against Arthur V. Brown of Indianapolis, the Government plans, to collect from Mr. Brown and] others for the WPA labor and ma- | terials involved in the case, it was|

learned here yesterday. At WPA headquarters, it was re-| ported that John K. Jennings, In-| diana WPA Administrator, has been| instructed to collect from Mr.| Brown, Miss Elizabeth Claypool and certain companies whatever may be] due the United States for WPA work done on their land. Mr. Jennings, it was said, will de-| termine the amount, which is expected to run into many thousands. The WPA office here revealed that | similar action had been taken in| the case of Arthur F. Eickhoff, who| was acquitted last year by a Fed-| eral jury in a similar case. |

Failed to Pay $79,000

Mr. Rickhoff, it was reported, was billed by WPA for something] over $79,000. He failed to pay and] was referred to the General! Accounting Offices as “uncollectable.” If any civil action should be taken to collect from Mr. Eickhoff. Mr. Brown or Miss Claypool, it would have to be filed by the Jus-

| | | i

(tice Department, which would find

itself slightly embarrassed, not only|

{because it lost the Eickhoff case in|

court but also because it sent a| |

representative to Indianapolis to! dismiss the Claypool case. Regardless of the Justice Depart- | the WPA officials] contend they ought to be paid for

the WPA work done on private!

land.
