revocation of licenses, and (3) the problem of judicial review. He pointed out that administrative agencies ordinarily are given power to make rules of general application in carrying out their functions. These rules and regulations,

he said, have the force of law and yet no standards have been established to protect the public against unsound governmental practices by these agencies. He cited the fact that many times after the adoption of rules and regulations, they are not made freely available to . persons who are affected therepy. As a remedy he suggested that safeguards be created to afford protection against the rule-making power of administrative agencies without impeding their efficiency.

Asks License Hearings

Governor Bricker also attacked licensing acts which have no provision for Hearings upon the question of revoking, suspending or refusing to issue a license. He favored definite legal steps including such matters .as adequate notice of hearing, the taking of a record, the right of - examination: and crossexamination of witnesses and the adoption of other safeguards which would conform /hearing# to accepted legal standards. “Concerning the third problem of judicial review, Governor Bricker pointed to the complete lack of uniformity in the privilege of appealing a decision of the administrative board to some other, tribunal. ‘Keep Faith With Sons’

He urged immediate attention be given by the legal profession to the problem of administrative law so that “we shall be able to keep faith with our sons who are fighting and dying that free representative government might live.” Following the luncheon today, Governor Bricker was to he the guest of a group of Indiana friends

a public reception in the Claypool hotel. ; Local Republican attorneys who were to escort him from the meeting to the reception were Arch N. Bobbitt, former Republican state chairman and Indianapolis city attorney; Frederick E. Schortemeier, also a former Republican state ch@irman; Fred C. Gause, Republican member of the State Board of Election Commissioners: Burrell Wright and "Edwin Steers.

ENGINEER COURSE OPEN TO WOMEN

CHICAGO, Jan. 18 (U. P.).—The nation’s largest institute of technology has decided that the answer to the shortage of engineers is women. Acting upon this decision. the Illinois Institute of Technology, claiming its 4554 enrollment to be the largest in the country, announced recently that on Feb. 8 it would begin an @&ngineering course exclusively for women. The opening of the concentrated course is specifically in answer to the Manpower Commission's ‘demand for more engineers. Although a very few women have become successful engineers, their enrollment in schools of engineering has been discouraged. Today, however, employers find that they cannot enforce outmoded regula-

LUDLOW AGAIN

Millions Could Be Saved if Plan Were Abandoned, + He-Declares.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 16—Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) renewed his attack on cost-<plus-fixed-fee government war contracts yesterday and inserted in the Congressional Record a lengthy letter from U. S. Controller General Lindsay C. Warren joining in the condemnation of them. Millions might be saved if the

doned Mr. Ludlow maintained. “Under the cost-plus-and-fixed-fee system all of the costs involved in a contract are saddled on the United

the taxpayers of America,” Mr. Ludlow declared.

Recall Earlier Report

“Last spring when I first addressed the house on this subject, I submitted 28 typewritten pages of names of company officials and employees whose salaries were increased 30 per cent the moment cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts be came effective. -These increases ranged as high as 700 per cent. “It is difficult to understand why the services of an official or employee suddenly and in the twinkling of an eye increase three or four times in #walye the "instant he switches from private to government employment, “The 28 typewritten pages of sudden increases of emolument when the shift was. made from private to government payrolls were furnished to me from the records of the Controller General's office. “Today 1 have in my possession from the records of-the same office 10 additional single-spaced typewritten pages of sudden increases of salaries that became effective when contractors came under the wing of cost-plus contracts,

Cites Big Increases

Simple increases noted in this list include: “A cashiér from $125 to Nh a month; draftsman from $110 to $240 a month: controller and acting general manager from $18,000 to $24,000 a year; factory manager from $7200 to $12,000 a year; construction engineer from $175 to $400 a month; rodman, $80 to $175 a month; instrument man from $75 to $225 a month; stakedriver from $30 to $105 a month; typist from $60 to $150 a month; rodman from $30 to $126 a month; timekeeper from $750 to $2080; superintendent from $3000 to $7800 a year. “Seventeen officials in one company whose salaries had previously ranged from $125 to $300 a month were all boosted to $450 a month. “I repeat thas there must be something wrong with the picture whén an employee who is brought under the umbrella of . a cost-plus

Second major headache for Brown is concérted drive from farmers to break price ceilings. Potato and bean growers have joined it. OPA officials think basic foods like these have most to do with starting—or preventing—inflation spiral. Drive for higher dairy prices is in full swing. OPA figures show in general that prices farmer gets for things he sells are up 102 per cent; prices of things he buys are up only 24 per cent.

Despite their increased offensive in Tripolitania, allied bombers and fighters of the Middle Eastern command did not cease their attacks on axis forces in Tunisia. A communique said railway trucks between Gahes and Sfax and fuel trucks north of Gabes were attacked and destroyed. If Montgomery could encircle the part of the Afrika Korps that escaped destruction at El Alamein, he would save the allies a great deal of trouble, If the Afrika Korps were destroyed east of Tripoli, then Tripoli, itself, probably would fall

If Wearers

CHICAGO. Jan. 16 (U. P.) —Judge J. M. Braude eyed two slack-clad women from the bénch and found they enabled him to make a snap decision: Women may wear pants, the old city ordinance notwithstanding, if they're not trying to look like men. The women-in-pants issue was thrust before Braude while it awaited final determination at the hands of the city council, which is wondering what to do about an old ordinance forbidding persons to wear garments of the opposite. sex. Before Braude came Mrs. Theodora Fitzpatrick, 24, Tucson, Ariz, wearing a gray slack suit, and Miss Evelyn (Jackie) Bross, 19, machinist in a Chicago war plant, who wore flannel trousers and a plaid jacket with ‘her hair in a mannish cut.
