GRAVE GRAFT ALLEGED
U.S. EXPLOSIVES CONCERNS.
P.A. Gable.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.
The White House announced that under the terms of a Presidential order the Navy Department took possession of Triumph Explosives Incorporated at Elkton, Maryland, and two subsidiaries, the Milford Ordnance Company and the Sussex Ordnance Company, because it is desirous that they be operated effectively sand safely. The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested the vice -president of the plant and Army and Navy inspectors on bribery charges which resulted from an audit by the renegotiation section of the Navy Department. The inspectors allegedly accepted bribes in the guise of service fees. The Navy's preliminary investigation indicates that more than a million dollars management irregularities are involved. The White House said that those arrested were Josef Ben Decker, executive vicq-president of the Triumph plant; J. A. McCambridge, until recently a civilian Army inspector at the Triumph works, and Reginald Gregory, chief civilian Navy inspector at the Triumph plant. More arrests are expected.
