Gently brought a criticism upon the
Navy Department by Controller General
McCarl was proposed yesterday by Rep
resentative Becdy,
The Maine Republican said he would
ask the Expenditures Committee, of
which he is a member to inquire into
all Federal contracts as a result Of the
undue haste" with which the Navy
recently signed contract over his pro-
test.
Beedy said McCarl wrote Secretary
Adams on April that a contract
awarded the Northampton Pump G
Machinery Co for technical equipment
was conSummated with undue haste"
The procedure followed by the Navy
Department in this matter is not such
as to encourage the confidence of Amer
ican business men in the fairness 81
their Government McCarl's letter said.
Such procedure not only tends 10
weaken the confidence Of the people in
their Government but II discouraTes
bidders from entering into competition
for Government contracts. with the re-
suit that the cost Of Government must
necessarily increase for lack OF such
competition
AS the facts appear. the Navy De-
partment has SO conducted this matter
AS to have failed to save approximately
Sl9.373 IN public funds: that
such a possible saving Of Sl9.375 was
brought to the attention of the Navy
Department before the award was
made"
Beedy says Adams has not yet an
swered McCarls letter.
