ON $1,500000 LOADING PLANT Washington, Sept. 1—The house sub-committee investigating ordnance expenditures during the war tonight made public testimony taken in its hearing showing that the government shell loading plant at Fort, Del., un- i completed when the armistice was | sisned, had cost the government to | date $14,000,000, aithough the esti- mated cost when the contract was let on the cost-plus basis was placed at | from $1.250,000 to $1.500,000. { The difference between the esti- | mated cost and the total thus far paid | out by the movernment for the build- ing of the plant is shown in testimony given by Lieutenant-Colonel R. H. Hawkins of the ordnance department and a report made last October by Major Clair Foster of the construction inserted by | the committee in the records The contract for the plant was let to the Marlin Rockwell Corporation, which organized a subsidiary concern known as the Marlin Rockwell Load- ing Company which in turn contracted with the Fred T. Ley Company for construction of the big plant and ad- joining town to house 20,000 persons. Major Foster’s report cited some of the salaries paid by the Loading Com- in pay made after a few months ser- vice. The manager of the former com- pany, the report assefts, had his sal- ary raised from $10.000 to $15,000; the assistant manager, “a lawyer and for- mer bond salesman,” $15.000; the chief engineer from - 500 a vear with $150 a month for liv- ing expenses to $10,000 a year, and the treasurer, from $4.800 to $6,000. Of the treasurer, the report said: “Government officers questioned as to the treasurer’s duties aid they never had been able to see aat he did anything except to endorse the gov- ernment’s checks and sign those of the loading company “Please bear in mind,” said Major Foster's report, “that all these salar- ies do not come out of the loadinz company’s fee. The government pays them and then pays tem per cent. on top of them.” The testimony made reference to a recent request of the war department for an appropriation of $155.000 to purchase additional land at the site aithough Major IFoster asserted that “most of it is swamp.

Left wing delegates met during the day with leaders of the communists who opened a national meeting to- day.
