Secretary Adams late yesterday stated there was no “leak” and said that in fact the Brcoklyn estimates were in reality $200,000 above the Newport News bld. The Brooklyn yard was asked for estimates on the carrier last February. but naval officials explained today that the yard submitted no bids when the prospective contracts were opened Sep- tember 3, as it was the intention of Congress that this job should go to ¢ private ship yard. ‘Work for Brookiyn Yard in View. Secretary Adams explained that one of the cruisers yet to be built would likely be built at Brooklyn, as that yard is being given every consideration. Secretary Adams yesterday uumn‘n told newspaper men that “it is true that in February, 1930, the Navy Department asked the Brooklyn Navy Yard to bid on the aircraft carrier contract, whicl recently wes awarded to the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. But on &n_eguality basis the bid of the Newport News Shipbuilding Co. was not $20,000, but $200,000 less than that of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. “There is no foundation of fact in the charge that the Newport News Shipbuilding Co. was given information prior to submitting its bid concerni the Brooklyn yard's estimate, he said. Situation Outlined. “The Brooklyn yard's estimate was for the information of the department to give us a practical idea of our allo- cation of funds for the construction of hull and machinery. Wken the esti- mate was received it was kept in the secret files. If the department were even considering that the work might be done at the Brooklyn yard there are two reasons, among many, Wwhy it couldn’t be done—first, because the Brooklyn bid was too high, and, second, because the department is limited in the amount of money. it can spend on the carrier ” Secretary Adams also pointed out that there is & lack of periy trained ex- perts at.the Brockiyn Navy Yard to assist in drafting the necessary plans.

Burns of New York, executive | director of the National Association of Community Chests and Councils, in a talk betore the Executive Committee of the Washington Chest at the Fed. eral American National Bank Building. “This announcement by the Nation- al Association of Community Chests is of great significance to every corpora- tion in Washington,” Mr. Poole said. “The two decisions, taken together, pro- vide a practical way by which every corporation can claim a deduction of its Community Chest contribution from its taxable income. “Furthermore,” Mr. Poole sald, “the decisions take care of the stock objec- tion that the corporation, in making a reasonable contribution to | is unjustifiably spending the stocihold ers' money, for these decisions recog. nize such contributions as necessary and ordinary business expense just as | most corporations have considered them for a long time.” Mr. Burns expressed the opinion that the precedents recently established by the United States Circuit Court of ppeals for Southern Ohio and by the ral Board of Tax Appeals will give encouragement for participation by corporations in the work of human re- lief and will mean a broader support for social service work by business and industry.

Argument on the ceses began yester- day, with that from Washington first under consideration. Today counsel for the Arizona, Louisiana and Texas participants in the case are to be heard. Solicitor General Thacher, who spoke first against the lower courts’ construc- tion of the Washington law, expected to make similar attacks on the de- cision in regard to the other three. Management and control of the com- munity property vested in the husband formed the eenter of contention in the ‘Washington case. Importance of the matter to the Gov- ernment lies in that the tax on a sinzle income rcturn would be figured at a higher rate than on two smaller returns totaling the same amount.

How fresh Yeast corrects it Doctors have spent many years studying this situation. And they have discovered that fresh yeast, such as the familiar Fleischmann’s Yeast you know so well, is highly effective in correct- ing such unhealthy conditions. Faten as a regular part of our diet, yeast moistens and softens the matter which has accumulated in the intestinal tract. It stimulates the natural action of the intestines, and thus helps the body to throw olpl’xndi ested food in a normal way. ‘The result is that our skin clears, appetite re- turns, color improves.
