AT A.R.P. INQUIRY HEARING

A suggestion made by the Chairman that the two firms of PANG CHIK & TAM and the TAI LEE LUMBER COMPANY were formed "solely for the purpose of corner- ing the market of sleepers and then selling them to MARSMAN'S and KIN LEE at an enhanced price" was denied by PANG CHIK, manager and partner of Pang Chik & Tam, when he testified before the Conmission, appointed by Government to inquire into certain matters relating to the AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS DEPARTMENT, yester- day morning.

Witness further denied that those two firms were told in advance "by someone in the A.R.P. Department" to buy the sleepers and resell them to Government at a profit.
