But when Harve, wartime record in producing navy shells was questioned, the loan was held up. . It was right and proper that Harvey’s record should have been serlitnized, thotgh for unexplain- ed reasons Secretary of the Navy Kimball has flatly refused to give the Navy's files on this case either to his own colleague, the Secretary of the Interior, or to the House investigating committee. However, this columnist, who has seen the filed, can report that Harvey's re- cord was saintlike compared to Ana- conda'.. Anaconda was convicted at Fort Wayne, Ind, on June 12, 1943 for defrauding tae government in con- nection with the sale of defective wire, was fined $31,000, and three of its men were given suspended pri- son sentences. Again in Pawtucket, R. I, Ana- conda was convicted Jan. 12, 1944 on a war-frauds charge, with four of its people given 18 months to one year in jail and a 1ifth placed on parole for two years. » Remarked the judge: “The com-| pany perpetrated these frauds with the intent to increase their profits without regard to the lives of Am- erican boys.” On top of the criminal convic- tions, the government brought civil suit after the war and collected $1,- 626,000 from Anaconda. Yet this is the company which will now be fav- ored with cheap government power, a tax-amortization deal whereby the investment is written off in four years, and a contract whereby the government buys virtually all its aluminum. MONOPOLY IGNORED Other phases of the Anaconda al- uminum deal are also interbsting. When little businessman Harvey rang government doorbells and sat in government ante-rooms trying to get support for his aluminum plan, he was advised “why don’t you get a wealthy partner?” Meanwhile Anaconda made var- ious overtures to him, proposed a lop-sided partnership. Harvey resist ed. Finally the government served notice that the priorities he had received on materials, together with his power contract at Hungry Horse, | would be taken away. Throwing in the sponge, he agreed to become Anaconda’s junior partner. This means Harvey will be svallowed up by Anaconda like boy eating an ice-cream cone. Interesting Fact No who made the final Py decision —The mar for Anaconda was Manley Fleischmann, | and other Defense Production of- ficials did not bother to consult the | Justice Department either in re gard to Anaconda’s criminal re- cord or its monopoly position until after they had reached a decision. | The past record of an individual seeking a government job is some- times scrutinized by the FBI for months. But not the slightest check was made of Anaconda’s war record until Fleischmann was called by a newsman. By that time the decision s | sen, the efficient but frequently di to give Anaconda the contract was | |already made. A brief session was | then held with the Justice Depart- ment to go through the more for- mal routine of checking. Remarked a friend of Jess Lar- couraged General Services Adminis- trator: “it looks like the only com- | 1panies that get big war contracts jare those which have committed | jcrimes against the government. “No,” replied Larsen wearily, the ones who commit the crimes who have a hundred million dollars.” WASHINGTON FIPELINE | Senater Taft has give. the cold shoulder to his old campaign ‘man- | ager, Congressman Clarence Brown | of Ohio. Clarence was too slow | about rounding up delegates. Wash- | ington and Baltimore newsstands | were flooded two weeks ago with an | obscene scandal sheet, Flash, print- | ed in Toronto, Canada. It was SO | obscene that the first edition was | stripped off the newsstands and the second edition was barred at the | Canadian border. . .After his return from Korea, Gen. Omar Bradley thoughtfully took time out from his heavy duties as our ‘top military leader to writé personal letters to the parents of GI's he decorated in Korea, assuring them that their sons were all right and doing a great job. . .Navy Secretary Kim- ball has assigned top priority to| |'the construction of new Navy mine- | sweepers. They’re urgently needed in the waters around Korea to syeep away increasing numbers of fnew Russian mines which are twi S effective as any the Nazis ever used. | . .The government seems to have an answer to everything, even that | baffling problem that comes up in every family—how to stop baby from sucking his thumb. “Infant Care,” the government's best-selling baby book, says it's okay for junior to suck his thumb, even beneficial in @ some cases—if mom is too busy washing diapers to amuse him. Cigarettes Only Raised One Cent Dealers who raise the price of cigarettes more than one cent a package under the new excise tax law gre in violation Office of Price Stabi tion regulations, ac- cording to the OPS enforcement di- rector The new excise tax added another per to the retail price of cig= arette Commenting on the tax, | he said: { | “It has been ght to my at- | tenti that ce n dealers have | the price of cigarettes more than one cent.
