Printing Firm

Challenges Contract Bids

County Commissioner

_ Denies Loss to County

Charges that a printing contract awarded by county commissioners | will cause taxpayers to lose between | $20,000 and $30,000 next year, were

liam B. Burford Printing Co. A contract for 1947 printing sup-| plies was awarded to the Sentinel Printing Co. by a unanimous vote of all three commissioners, William Bosson, president; William T. Ayres| and Ray Mendenhall,

Earl C. Townsend Jr, attorney for

the Burford firm, which also bid! on the contract, charged that the Sentinel firm’s offer was more than 50 per cent higher than the big submitted by Burford. “In one classification of priviine] the Burford offer was 90 per cent lower than the Sentinel bid and in_the. first three major classifica tions our offer was 65 per cent lower than the competitor,” Mr, Townsend charged. ‘ Bosson Denies Charge | Commissioner Bosson denied that. the award to the Sentinel firm would cause any loss to the county. “I certainly wouldn't favor awarding any contract that would cause taxpayers to lose money,” he said. “There is nothing to substantiate charges that the Burford offer would save the county any money.” He explained that commissioners | strictly followed the law in awarding the contract. “The law gives us the right to award the contract to hat we con. sider the lowest and best bidder and that is exactly what we did,” he said.

Injunction Suit Hinted |

““The heads of all county depart- | ments agreed that the Sentinel; firm's offer was the best since the! county in the past has been given excellent service by that company. ! There has been a lot of friction | recently in_our dealing with the | Burford- company and our best judgment is that-a contract with the Sentinel firm’ is in the best

“interests of the county.”

Mr.. Townsend indicated that officials of the Burford company will | consider filing an injunction suit to stop the county's contract with | the Sentinel firm. . He cited rulings of both ‘the In- | diana supreme court and the appellate court which, he said, held that government officials cannot award contracts legally to high bidders if the low bid was less than one-half that of the winning con- | tractor,

CHICAGO, Dec. 13 (U. P)— Capt. Edward W. “Eddie” Ricken

Beer Meeting Called ‘Routine’

Distributors Open New Headquarters.

Beer Distributors of Indiana, Ine. today inaugurated ite new downtown headquarters with a press release on yesterday's meeting of beer wholesalers. The wholesalers met in the Hotel Lincoln for what they termed a “routine” . business session. Henry E. Siebenmark, newly elected executive manager, denied at the time that the meeting had been called to set up a legislative program. Although today’s routine announcement did not mention the! nature of the business at yesterday's meeting, political observers regarded the opening of the downtown office as significant in view of the fact the opening of the general assembly is less than a month away. Progress Reviewed According to the press release account of the meeting, from which newsmen were barred, President John A. Whitehead of Shelbyville “reviewed thé progress of the association since its last general session and outlined the reorganization.” “He commended the membership on their reports of participation in the local civic affairs of their own communities,” the release continued. In his inaugural speech, Mr. Siebenmark was quoted as saying: “Living up to the principles of building goodwill, establishing responsibility, promoting strict law observance and advocating moderation must be made your daily creed. only by doing so can we retain the respect of our industry itself, and what is more important, of the gen. eral public. “Public opinion can either make us or break us.”

California Springs

Given to Indian

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13 (U. P.).—The « United States circuit court of appeals almost—not quite— gave Palm Springs, the luxurious southern California resort, back to the Indians. A court decision ruled that 94 acres of land—on two of which are located the famous hot springs—legally belonged to Lee Arenas, a Mission Indian, under a tribal grant. Mr. Arenas’ land in the area which was partitioned off in check-er-board fashion between the Mission tribes and the Southern Pacific 55 years ago does not include any on which resort hotels are/ now built, according to court attaches.

Farmers Seek. New Labor Laws

Bureau to Support 10-Point Program

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13 «U, P.).~The 1,128,000 members of the American Farm Bureau Federation today were pledged to support a 10-point legislative program. The program is aimed at restricting the activities of labor unions and urges continuation of the parity formula ‘and other farm aid measures. The program was adopted at the final session of the four-day convention yesterday by delegates from 45 states and Puero Rico. Major parts of the program, which “must be enacted,” would: ONE: Outlaw the closed shop, jurisdictional, sympathy and wildcat strikes.

TWO: Compel arbitration of dis-

putes which affect the public health, safety and interest and involve public utilities. THREE: Require unions to incorporate and file financial statements, One of 22 policy-making state-

ments was aimed bor leaders” and their unions who are “exercising untestrained and unregulated power.” The statement called for “extermination of this influence.” ’ The delegates also opposed any “material” reduction in income taxes as long as the danger of inflation exists.

UN Site Committee Votes for New York

Times Special FLUSHING, N,. Y, Dec. 13.— Without getting around to studying what it would cost, the United Nations permanent site committee has voted New York the international capitol. In a jampacked room filled with smoke and stale air, the committee voted, 33 to 7, with six abstentions, to aocept the $8,500,000 offer of John D. Rockefeller Jr. and finally wind up their year's indecision about the permanent United Nations home. g The negative votes were cast by Australia and six Moslem nations. France was one of the abstainers. New York needs to pick up one

more vote to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority in the full general assembly session.

Read Frederick C. Othman, Page 23

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (U. P). ~F, T, Newton, Hattiesburg, Miss., contractor, testified today that on Sept. T, 1042, he gave Senator Theodore G. Bilbo (D, Miss), four checks totaling $25,000, Photographs of the checks were placed in the record of the senate war investigating committee. The committee is hearing charges that Senator Bilbo received gratuities from contractors whom he helped get army air base construction jobs. The committee recessed for luncheon without asking Mr. Newton what the checks were for. Mr. Newton had testified previously that he had tried to get Senator Bilbo's help in obtaining government contracts, Asked whether Senator Bilbo was of any help to him, he said: “I don't know, I asked him to.” Mr. Newton was a member of a
