NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1930. Federal Investigators to Study Lease of Parcel Post Building When Inquiry Opens Next Month| MENCKEN T0 WED Senate Committee Will In- clude New Britain Build- ing When It Throws Searchlight On Charges e Made by Nye of North| Dakota. By GEORGE H. MANNING | (Wa gton Bureau, N. B. Herald) Washington, D. C. Aug. 4.—A | lease of the post office parcel post | station in New Britain will be | delved into by the senate commit- | tee appointed to investigate such | leases when it commences hearings | some time next month. The committee, headed by Senator | Blaine, insurgent republican, of Wis- | consin, will go thoroughly into the lease. The committee will also dig deep | into the leasing of postal quarters | at Hartford, New Haven, Water- bury, Bridgeport, Meriden, Middle- town, Winsted, and other large cities in the state. o Nye Prompts Inquiry Ever since the committee was ap- pointed by Vice President Curtis to | look into the post office lease ques- tion, which Senator Nye, insurgent | republican, of North Dakota, said might show that the government has been defrauded ouf of $50.000,000, committee investigators have been quietly at work gathering data to | be used in the probe. The investigators, John G. Hol- | land, a department of justice agent, who played a large part in the Tea- pot Domie oil scandal investigation | and the mare recent lobby investi- | gation, and George Oliver, secretary | of the Blaing committee, have found & numbr of things which will prove interesting when the committce goes more thoroughly into them. Just what they have found can- | not be divulged at,this time, and probably will not be made known until the committee actually begins | All of the facts found so Holland and Oliver are not , but they will furnish valuable leads for the committee, | The evidence will be used to check | up on witnesses who will appear be- fore the committee and give mem- bers of the committee leads as to what questions to ask. Expects to Find Rings | It is expected that when the com- mittee gets under way it will uncov- | er several ‘rings” which specialized in post ofice building leases and which realized exorbitant profts out of the leases. “ The post office lease al, which Seaator Nye said might sur- pass the Teapot Dome scandal in | the amount of fraud perpetrated, “broke” when Representative Maas, | republican#t Minnesota, had insert- | ed in the post office appropriation bill a provision that none of the money could be used for the com- mercial substation at St. Paul, Minn. This precipitated a debate in the #enate, the leading parts in which were taken by Senators Blaine and Nye. The St. Paul lease was thor- oughly aired during the debate and Dboth senators said the same situation obtained through the country. Senator Blaine introduced the reso- | lution calling for a special committee to pursue the investigation. 1t was charged in connection with the lease of the St. Paul buildigg that the total cost ofthe building and land was in the neighborhood of | $400,000, but the governm paid an annual rental of $120,000, and the leaseholders had issued more than $1,000,000 worth of bonds cov- ering the building, selling them throughout the country. Blaine Charges Negligence Senator Blaine accused the post office department of being “worse | than negligent” in its handling of | cs, and stated that “I would not hesitate on my honor to charge that ' the postmaster general knows of the schemes that have been entered into by the original proponents of the fraud in this lease and of other frauds relating to other leases.” Postmaster General Walter F. Brown, on the other hand, has steadfastly maintained that there has been no scandal connected with leases and that the department has been watchful in making them. Despite his assurances, however, it s certain that the post office will have much explaining to do when the Blaine committee gets jn full Ewing. its work. far by Only One Lease Here Edward H. Munson, assistant post- er, today in commenting on the Washingtons report, said that the New Britain post office lcases only one building, that used by the par. | cel post department on Court strect. | The floor space in this building | i 42 by 64 feet with an offset for stairs. There is also 1,000 squzrc‘ feet of space in the basement which space is not utilized at presen, Mr. | Munson said. | The rental paid annually by the | post office for the use of the build- ing is $4,308 which sum does not in. clude heat, light, electric light nor | water. These items are paid for by the government as they are used. The present lease runs two years from April 1 of this year and was| first made in April, 1925, with Anson A. Mills and his wife, Nellie G. Mills. | Mr. Mills is in the plumbing and stove business on West Main street.
