NAVAL BASE PROBE One of the cardinal “don'ts” of government press censors is against publication of information about construction jobs at offshore mili- tary and naval bases—such as the type and size of the contracts, identity of the contractors, and so on. \ Newsmen are warned th.n if the and do inferior workmanship. And the newspapers can't breathe a ! word about it. However, if such contractors ex- pect. to dodge the Truman invest- | igating . committee, they are in, for a surprise., The ¢ommittee. is plan- ; ning, an. eagle-eyed . survey of con- tract work at our territorial bases. Among other things, the com- mittee wants, to find out why Rear Admiral John H. Hoover, command- ant of the Tenth Naval District, €noys such palatial living quarters at his San Juan headquarters. { Three swanky homes, costing from $20000 to $40,000 were built for Hoovm and two aides last year. The Truman committee also plans to ask some blunt guestions about | | the new naval airfield at San Juan, | which cost the Government a huge cost-plus fee. This field sags in the middle and is sometimes over- run with water. Investigators have learned that it was constructed on a site so swampy that a pile, driven into the foundation when work be-l from Latin- | 8an disappeared. NOTE: In view of censorship re- strictions, it will be interesting to see how far the Truman committee goes in its report on Puerto Rico contracts, SOCKING UNCLE SAM The House Ways and Means Committee heard plain talk from Undersecretary of War Robert P.
