The com- mittee, dividing on political lines, agreed upon only one thing—that the United States spent more than one billion dollars upon the war-time aviation program. Representative Magee, republican, of New York, a member of the com- mittee which investigated aviation ex- penditures during the war, told tha house that not one American battla plane or purely bombing plane was produced during the war from expenditure of more than a U1 gollars for in Libert “The Libert the only achievement of merit of the American Air Service in the United States.” The 23 planes sent to France, he be used for light bombin these planes were “awkward and dan- gerous” in service.

Those that had no power :o do so ordered the construction of rail- roads in Oregon through cost-plus contractors at large governmental expense and not in the public interest.” Employment Attacked. The employment of 3,000 including officers in the lumber oper ations was also attacked by Mr. Ma- gee who asserted the payment to them of iges of $3 to $8 a day was “in defiant violation of law.” John D. tion, he said “heartily approved these payments. “Those who are responsible for this uniawful expenditure,” he added, held strictly accountable therefore. The Siems Carey Kerbagh Corp. was actually paid by the war department a seven per cent. commis- sion on civilian wages paid to soldicrs working for sub-contractors in the construction of lLake Crescent rail- road in of the compensation fixed by congress.” Rep.

Yesterday afternoon, i accarding to testimony, the accused | and a companion wandered into a cafe | at 339 Main street, and placed an or- | der for liquidation. They evidently procured it, and when it came time | for the sound of the cash register to | ring out, Alex discaverel that he was out of ready cash. His friend, how- ever, volunteered a plan that would relieve him of discomfiture, and also net him a fair margin of profit. It seems that Alex, on being discharged fream the army in Chattanooga, Tenn., | redeemed a Liberty bond for $100, se- curing a receipt for it, which he h: since carried with him. His friend of | vesterday knew of this and suggested | to Alex that he affix his name to it, turn it in and get $100, the same as { any check on a bank. The unsuspect- ing “bartender,” who happened to be Stanley Oleshevich, immediately paid | over the money. Later when he dis- ered that he had been duped, Stan- s notified the police, and the long was hit by a sleath, who suc- | ceeded in apprehending Kosinsgi as he { was taking his departure from the Hotel Bassett. On his person $46 was found. Judge Alling found him guilty and imposed a fine of $100 and a jail | sentence of 30 days, the latter which | was suspended. “Bartender” Fined Also. i As the result of the J. Rufus Wal- lingford methods employed by Kosin- ski, Oleshewigz was also in police court this morning charged with vi ion of the liquor law. The siate's | case was handled by Lawyer Albert { A. Greenberg, it being the first since ! his appointment several weeks ago. | Oleshewicz, as was testified to in the | case of Kosinski, served a concoc- tion called ginger, which is under the | ban of the 18th amendment.
