ARMY CONTRACT
HIT BY NJ CARL

Comptroller General J. r. Nc.
Carl again today attacked the
War Department motorization
program in a ruling which holds
that the departments idea in
accepting a fourth bid in pre-
ference to three others is not
justified.
Small trucks are involved in
this particular item and four
bids were entered, two for each
of two classes. The Northwest
Motor Company made a low bid
of $453, the Chevrolet agency a
bid of $475 and the Chevrolet in
another class $495. The War
Department wished to accept a
fourth bid of the Northwest
Motor Company, of Bethesda. OF
$488.77.
The department held that the
three first bids were for trucks
which would not meet its re
quirements.
Mr.. McCarl, however, pointed
out that the requirement was
withdrawn by the department
itself on April 9, and that the
War Department had not proved
any need for other requirements
In the absence of more facts
than have been submitted to
show actual need for these re
quirementS, the ruling held, the
General Accounting Office would
not be justified in approving
charges against the appropriation
for motorization.
