my position,” he told Crowley. Before releasing his reply to Bovingdon, Crowley asserted that he had received no communication whatsoever from Dies. Crowley's letter revealed that he

Serves on Probation

“Your letter of this date, which I| understand you have also released to the press without consulting me, indicates that you now are of a different view,” Crowley continued. “As you no doubt know, in accordance with law and the rules of the civil service commission you are presently serving on the usual probationary basis pending a determination as to whether your continued services will be for the best interests of the agency. “I have concluded that your continued services will not be for the best interests of the agency. “Your services as principal economic analyst of the office of economic warfare are therefore terminated as of the close of business on this date.”

Protests ‘Smearing’

Bovingdon had denied all the charges informally brought against him, including one that he used to be a ballet master. He told newspapermen, however, that he once engaged in rhythmic dancing to im- | prove his health. He is a graduate | of Harvard university and holds a Ph. D. in economics, from Columbia | university in New York. | Release of his letter to Crowley | was the first disclosure that the | OEW chief had suggested that | Bovingdon resign. After citing that he was hired by OEM on the civil service commission because

of his scholastic background and ability to speak four foreign languages, Bovingdon added: “I have come to Washington in

good faith to work. My purpose is to serve my country and do the

{most I can to help win the war. I

consider that I am a victim of an|.

anti-New Deal offensive to under-|

mine the entire war effort. “I firmly believe that the administration in order to maintain and strengthen its standing with the people of the United States, must not run for cover, each time the Dies committee and think up a new angle for smearing. We must not let smearing of character become conventional in America. “If I should follow your suggestion, Mr. Crowley, and that of some other officials of the OEW and resign now, it seems to me that I would be making it easy for an essential war agency to retreat before the Dies committee. Today all men of sincere intention and sound mind should take the offensive for the war and for democracy. ° “I am therefore making this statement that I cannot conscientiously resign my position with the office of economic warfare.”

VICTORY GARDENS OFFSET JAP FARMS

LOS ANGELES, Cal. (U. P).— Victory gardens have more than offset the evacuation of Japanese vegetable farmers from Los Angeles county. . In 1941 there were 1,600 vegetable farmers in the county, of whom 1,200 were Japanese. The total vegetable acreage was 54,000. Now, thanks largely to the popularity of the victory garden, there are 1500 vegetable farmers in the county, with a total acreage of 55,000.

the new setup returns the police staff to the same basis on which it operated prior te the lengthy reign of former Democratic’ Police Chief Michael Morrissey. Net effect of the shifts, according to Safety Board President Will Remy, will be a greater centralization of power in Chief Beeker and his first assistant, Inspector Donald Tooley; elimination of some dupli-

cations of duties shared in common |

by investigators and sergeants in the detective division, and a bolstering of patrolmen forces, overtaxed by war conditions. The number of captains would be increased from eight to 12 as a result of the deputy inspector transfers. Pay for deputy inspectors rank, to be abandoned altogether, at present is $3550 a year. Under the new salary hikes, captains will receive $3275 annuaily.

Envisions Pay Boosts

Reassignment of 40 investigators to detective sergeancies will boost their pay from the present $2200 to $2675, with next year’s salary increases included. The 15 additional investigators will receive $2475, with patrolmen drawing $2400. Budget innovations for 1944 will also grant civilian employees of the police department wage increases which_will raise many of their salaries from the present $1200 yearly to $1500. Some workers council boosts. How many of the proposed budget alterations actually will be enacted will be determined when city council begins reviewing next year's expenditure estimates on Aug. 18. Council sessions will begin daily at ¢ pp. m, and continue into the night.

The boys are most receptive to a gift such as yours, and your effort to try and make things easier for us by your presentation is a real morale booster.” Men on other fronts write that they are “sharing some of the cigarets with the British and fellows fighting with Gen. Montgomery in Tunisia.” Most recent donations were made by employees of Holcomb & Hoke Mfg. Co, $12095, and $1 from a newshoy. The Times, to carry out the cigaret campaign, has arranged with major cigaret companies to purchase cigarets for shipment overseas for only 5 cents a package. They will be sent to any theater of war outside the United States. Replacing the {ederal stamp on

the cigaret package will be a sticker saying “The Indianapolis Times Overseas Cigaret Fund.” If any firm, group or groups of employees contribute $50 or more, their name also will be placed on the sticker.

Russian Airmen Supreme

The Germans lashed out in particularly heavy counter-attacks northwest of Orel, where a Soviet column cutting in behind the south-central front stronghold was driving toward a junction with another Russian column advancing from the south. Big German aerial reinforcements were rushed to the Orel front to cover the withdrawal, but Red Star said the Red air force had retain supremacy. Seventy-six German planes were shot down in aerial combat south and southwest of Orel yesterday. The capture of Orel, held by the Germans since 1941, would cave in the whole south-central front and’ pose a potent threat to Bryansk, 80 miles to the west, main axis bastion opposite Moscow.
