Budget Director Dawes of “Heil and Mariah" fame, today took drastic action to check an al- leged waste of millions of dol lars in shipping board operations. Announcement was made that the purchase of supplies for ship ping board vessels, now costing about $65,000,000 » year, and the sale of surplus supplies of the board totalling about $200,000, 000, was taken from the board and placed under the control of the budget director, Under orders from the presi- dent all new supplies for the board's ships will be parch@eed by the general purchasing board recently organized by Dawes. All supplies will be liquidated thru fhe new liquidation board of the budget director. Both of there boards recently were created by executive order to force economy in government departments, In this manner, it is believed INMATES STARTS ON PAGE ONE the have enough pots, they made soup in the coffee urn. “In the latter part of June they Started thinning out the beet and tur nip plants.

The agency opera tors of shipping board tonnage will be on one side, and the shipping board, backed by the treasury, will be on the other. OPERATORS START POWERFUL LOBBY The agency operators believe they can “smoke” the shipping board out on its announced policy of “bare “lpoat charter basis” of operating ships, adoption of which policy was forced by figures submitted to the senate appropriation committer by your correspondent. To this end the operators, thru their organization, ‘have established a powerful lobby in Washington. The firet move in the game will be for the agency operators to re- fuse point-blank to accept any ships on bare-boat charter basis, arguing that under this plan the shipping board should pay the operators from that while he was at there was no chaplain © to attend to the spiritual the inmates, tho many, he during that time.

In addi. | tion, owing to the contract being between the operators and the emergency fleet corporation, the op- erators can and have organized ship supply and service companies from which subsidiaries they are reaping from 25 to 40 per cent profit net. {OPERATORS ARE REAPING RICHES Under the bareboat charter basis the operators will have to keep the boat In repair, furnish crews, sup ply and service, at their own ex pense, ‘They are loatirfo have any change made in the preseat arrangement, for they are operating the ships at ;@ stupendous loss to the taxpayers | but the operators under the gross Percentages are reaping riches The agency gang will enlist in its support associations of repair con: cerns which also are garnering wealth under present conditions | Plans are being carefully laid to make such a strong showing ag will justify the shipping board in keep: ing the treasury doors open to the Profiteers. its per dead weight ton per month for the ‘The fact that 625,000 bottles of| Taniac have been sold in the state there, less than one year ago, is @.big business item that will at- tract unusual attention thruout the entire East, for nothing like it has ever ‘happened before.
