Probers Dig Into Reported Waste Of $25 Million on African Bases WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Congressional committees focused attention today on the reported waste of at least 25 million dollars on five North African air bases. The bases are being built for the U. S. Air Force by army engineers under contract to a group of construction firms known as "Atlas" contractors. The original estimated cost of the project was 300 million dollars, and a House expenditures subcommittee said as much as 50 million may already have been "poured down the drain." The project is being probed also by a Senate preparedness subcommittee headed by Senator Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex). The Johnson committee was expected to go over testimony released yesterday by the House group, whose chairman is Rep. Hardy (D-Va). The testimony, given by William J. Cassidy, North African resident auditor for the army audit agency, told of kickbacks, price-boosting, drinking and loafing by employees; gifts of wine and gin to a storekeeper, and inefficiency in general. Testifying last Monday in a deposition taken by Ralph E. Casey, counsel for the House group, Cassidy told of a veiled threat to have him removed from his job if he didn't approve a $27,000 voucher to an engineer-architect firm. The threat, he said, was made The $27,000 withheld from the firm of Porter-Urquhart, which served in a management capacity for the Atlas project, Cassidy said, was for payroll charges and purchases that lacked substantiation. Cassidy said Haseman requested that the charges be allowed but Cassidy refused. The Porter-Urquhart trim, Cassidy said, brought in incompetent personnel, paid high salaries to students and kept inadequate records. DAVID FARRELL (Congressional Candidate) Santa Ana Man Two-Time Loser Faces Third Count Already serving a term in Folsom prison for second-degree murder, Jesse Gilbert, who earlier was sentenced for burglary in Orange county, now faces a third felony prosecution for the alleged stabbing of a fellow prisoner in Folsom, it was learned here today. Gilbert was sent to the California Youth Authority several years ago for an Orange county burglary. Two years later, the California Youth Authority discharged him because he was convicted of second-degree murder in Marin county. Gilbert was said to have become angered at another prisoner over a bet on a prison baseball game last week, and stabbed the other man with a hand-made knife. Santa Ana Man Files Candidacy In 28th District David Farrell, president of Contour Chair Shops Corp. of Santa Ana was announced today as a candidate for representative from the 28th Congressional district. While a student at Santa Ana college, Farrell volunteered for service during World War II, becoming an Air Force pilot. He was shot down over German territory and spent two years in enemy prison camps. Discharged as a captain, which rank he holds in the reserve, Farrell returned to civilian life and developed his present business. Among other planks, Farrel's platform contains one which calls for the repeal of the 16th (income tax) Amendment to the Constitution. "In plain words," he says, "no direct tax on incomes." Civil Defense, plus the Armed Forces, equals National Survival in the event of atomic attack.

As often campaigned, Franklin Del- ano Roosevelt never whistle-stopped in Anaheim. He passed through once. His train did, however, stop in Santana where he and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt made a rear platform appearance. He just smiled andwayed at the multitude of customers (voters) who turned out to pay homage to him. During the war, FDR passed through Anaheim on several occasions when soldiers guarded every inch of the right-of-way. It may be another GOPresidential candidate who duplicates "One World Wilkie's rear platform speeches in Fulerton, Anaheim, Orange' and Santa Ana on his way to San Diego sometime this year. Wonder just how many Anaheimers remember Wilkie's: "My friends of Anaheim . . ." in that familiar rasping voice? . . But there weren't any political aspirants who worked so hard shaking people's hands as Jimmy Roosevelt did a couple of years ago, unless it was San Francisco's Mayor Angelo Rosal when he aspired to the governorship. EXPLANATION—Ask Hermian Schaeht what the microwave transmitter atop the telephone building is and you'll get an interesting line of double talk. Although he'll introduce Al Kornig as Mark Koenig (the great Yankee ballgamer of another day) uncle; actually they're no more related than. Herman was into Halmar Schacht, the Nazi intelligence minister. They just had the same names—by chance. NITECAPSULE—A live wire generally has the right connections.

HOSSEY WORKERS WIN LABOR CARE Trimfit hosery mills' branch plant in Anaheim was ruled against on all counts Tuesday in three unfair labor practice complaints brought by the AFL American Federation of Hosery Workers in Los Angeles. NLRB trial examiner Howard Myers found the firm guilty of locking out 35 pro-union employees Jan. 22, 1931, of refusing to bargain with the union and of unfairly discharging five workers.
