Big Frauds Alleged Indict Two Men Involved
Washington January 6 indictments accuse Edwin M. Van Dyck a former bureau chemist and ink maker and Victor G. Bloede president of Bloede Company of Baltimore of conspiring to defraud the government over black dry color used for ink. The scheme allegedly paid Van Dyck a commission of up to 75000 and favored Bloede in bids from 1901 to 1995 with contracts averaging 225000 pounds annually at 45 cents a pound. Attorneys for both men posted 10000 bail each and argued the cases are technical with the bureau obtaining cheaper color and quality samples.
