WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. — The] senaté war investigating commit-| tee disclosed today that the FBI is investigating the alleged theft of committee files on the Garsson| munitions from a senate office building a year’ ago. / George Meader, committee counsel, said it was indicated that someone took the committee's files on the Garsson case from its room in the senate office building late at night and kept them for three

hours. | =

During the three-hour interval, |

Mr. Meader said, the Garsson case |

files were believed to have been | copied. He said that he also had | “missed some of his papers” in the | case. { Investigations Are Widespread Pi#sclosure of the alleged tampering with the files was made as some of the nation’s biggest war con-! tractors were being stung by the last of federal investigations. The investigations reached from coast to coast, and other inquiries soon will spread to Honolulu, Rome and Paris. G-men openly searched for evidence of “possible fraudulent activi-| ties” by the Garsson munitions combine. Attorney Genera] Tom C.| Clark said the results of the hunt]

goes to a grand jury. The little-noticed Interstate Machinery Co., Inc, Chicago, was revealed to be one of the Garsson firms getting the closest study by the justice department. Meanwhile the government was, “taken aback” by sale of the Ba-| tavia Metal Products Co., part#of | the, Garsson empire, and its subsidiary, the Challenge Co., to James | Stein, president and general mana- | ger of the Metaplastic Co. and Her-

Higgins was revealed to be under federal in-| vestigation in connection with al-| leged war frauds. Special Justice Department Attorney J. Frank Cunningham accused Mr. Higgins and | two of his associates of “making and causing to be made and presented for payment and approval false claims against the U. S. government, knowing such claims to be false, fictitious and fraudulent.” To this, Mr. Higgins replied, “Obviously trumped up charges.”

TWO: In Oakland, Cal, Steel Magnate Henry J. Kaiser denounced unidentified “scandalmongers” he said were interested !

Started by Jeeps Ground controls installed in jeeps piloted the drones by remote action until they were safely airborne. Then the “mothers” took over. The jeeps and their delicate equipment then were loaded aboard the transports, which took off and raced for Muroc lake to be on hand to welcome the pilotless Fortresses home, Like mother birds hovering over the first flying efforts of their fledglings, the control B-17's convoyed their charges at speeds between 150 and 165 miles an hour and altitudes of 7000 to 8000 feet.

Mr. Hawley was one of the principal speakers at the 93d international convention. Another was Dr. C. M.
