THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Dressing Down Given Brass Hats Brings Joy

"By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 27-Two G. 1's on a Capitol sightseeing tour so wsomething no doughfoot ever .saw before: Brass hats getting a dressing down. A raking over. And a dousing in senatorial ire. : “Gosh,” said the big G.I. “I never would have thunk it.” “yea” said the little one. “Makes you glad you ain't a general.”

THE TWO infantrymen had

wandered into the senate caucus |

room and there before their bulging eyes were majors, colonels. Yep, and three-star generals.

They were all squirming, get- |

ting red in the neck and muttering excuses that sounded lame to Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan, and Co. The question was, how come the army spent $44,000,000 on a $14,000,000 road in central America that never was finished and . led nowhere because it. had no end? » ” » THE infantry’'s faces lit into smiles that might be called beatific as the brass hats tangled with . the only civilians who could tell ‘em off. I'll skip the testimony of the small fry, such as majors and colonels, I will concentrate (like the G. 1's) on Lt. Gen. Eugene Reybold, chief of the army engineers, and Lt. Gen. Leroy Lutes, chief of the army service forces. The elderly Gen. Reynolds said the army considered the road an insurance policy for the Panama

Monday: A Date

WASHINGTON, July 27 .(U. P.).—Fred G. Orsinger, of the government's fish and wildlife service and technical director of the Othman-Orsinger sea monster expedition, said fie en the skeptics today. “Let ’em gather Monday on the Potomac, where Percival the sea monster positively will pose for his portrait,” he added. “Percival is a modest sea monster, but my honor is at stake and he has promised.”

“Weren't these peoplé in the war with us? And why did you

Eisenhower protested that it wasn't necessary?” Gen. Reynold said he couldn't answer that. He said maybe the war department could. He said the cost of the road was high but that it would have been insignificant if there'd been a critical emergency. The $44.000,000, he added, was a small matter. = »

M “NOW WAIT a minute general,” snapped Senator Ferguson, “we're not talking about marbles. We're talking about $44,200,000 of the taxpayers’ money.” The two G. 1's relaxed (luxuriously is the word). And Gen. Lutes took the hot seat, to an-

In addition, an elaborate program of missions, both home and foreign, has been carried on. The edifice, sometimes called the “Cathedral Church” of the United Brethren northwest area, has been the scene of a number of congress meetings.
