f Washington, Nov? 10.—Charged Hint
that #lie action of the Shipping Board
ha« resulted lu aii enormous waste
of government funds are' contained in
a report submitted to the How com-
mittee on Shipping Board operationa.
by two former employes of the l>onrd,
A. 11. Fisher and J. F. Rlcliardaoii,
who for more than a year have con*
ducted an investigation for the com-
mittee.
The report, released for publica-
tion today by the committee, of
which Representative Walsh, Be-
puhl'can. Massachusetts, is chairman,
states that the investigators found
evidence of graft in the purchase of
Fupplles for repairing government
o*bed ships, of corruption on the
part of officials and employee of the
Shipping Hoard Emergency Fleet
Corporation, and of the use of political
and other• influence in the negotia-
tion of contracts for construction and
allocution of vessels. 1
The Investigators grouped Their
observations under seven general
heads, representing varh-us phases of
the shipping board's activities. They
declared that improperly drawn con-
tricts had cost the government t<
large num. that some divisions of the
board had failed to cooperate effi-
ciently and that others had fulled
completely to fuuetion properly.
Chaise f%y rolls Padded.
The report charged that payrolls
h id lieen padded by some of the firms
which required government pJEfled
vessels and that thefe had b.-en n
heavy loss to the government as a re-:
suit of wholesale thefts of supplies
and equipment from ships. The in-
vestigators also reported to the 'npm-
niittce that companies operating gov-
• inment vessels had iu some instancy
owned stock In companies ^iilcli fur-1
ulsbed supplies to the ships at prices
tanging us high as fifty per cent
above wholesale costs.
Discussing the alloeiWIo^ of ships,
ths? report states that "Investigation
of companies or applicants for as-
signment of allocated tonnaxe seems
to be more or less haphazard with
the lTiiltvd States Shipping Board."
The investigators say that the <H-
vislon of assignment and ^allocation
attempted to cooperate with! the de-
partment of investigation. i>nt that
Just about "the time propel/ eoopcra-
tion iM'twwn these two departments
bad lieen established, the department
of investigation was so disturbed by
a change, ju its directing heat s and its
personnel as to render its o flee use-
less for the purpose of thy division
of assignment and allocation."
Mr. Richardson, one of thft investi-
gators. was formerly connected with
the department ot investigation.
Fisher was at one time connected
the Federal Trade Commission.
stated, in presenting the report,
it was "design**! to be constrnctiVe
and helpful to the Shipping Board,"1
rather than destructively critical."
