Payment of $1,691.44, in settle

Dfemage suit, was made recently
to the United States treasury by
the Columbia Lumber Company.
This is according to Walter E.
Walsh, enforcement attorney for
the Alaska Office of Price Admin

overcharges made by the com

company in Sitka over a period of
about one year.
“During the past two months a
number of Administrators’ Treble

Denies Material
Destruction
In Canada
!
EDMONTON, Alta.. July 10.—
<AP>—The charger of “wholesale
destruction of equipment and ma
terials along the Alaska highway
are untrue.” according *o Col.
Frederick K. Strong, Jr . com
manding officer of the N< rthwest
Service Command.
The United States army colo-,
nel’s statement war issued as a
resuP of a story wr.tter by a staff
reporter of the Vancor or Prov
ince, which said, "Fires burn
night and day" on great oumps
at the Dawson Creek. British Col-1
umbia, terminus of the highway.”
Huge amoun's of equipment, m
| eluding unused articles “are be
ing destroyed wholesal e
Colonel Strong raid ‘The
charges that the United States
army salvage material of the
Dawson Creek and the Fort St.
John areas is wasteful and that
<he Canadians were no" given a
chance to purchase th* United
States’ equipment are untrue.”
He added:
“The Canadian government was
given every opportunity to ab
sorb such material, of which the
United S'ates government had no
essential need.”
In conclusion, the army colonel
said:
“The United States Board of
Officers had been appointed at
Daw'son Creek to examine the ma
terial being salvaged, and when
ma'erials were in such condition
as to be below the minimum
standards of 4he United States
army they were destroyed."
