One week was required for filming,

M'CARL AMPL|F|ES
REJECTION OF BIDS
Takes Slap at Minute Re-
quirement on Tractive
Power of Tires.

Controller General McCarl yester-
day read another lecture to the War
Department on the specifications laid
down for vehicles in the projected
sl0,000,0O0 Army motorization pro-
gram, incidentally taking a slap at a
minute fractional requirement set out
for "tractive factor"-the ground
spread Of tire.
McCarls letter amplified two others
made public by his office yesterday
and explained why he was rejecting
proposed award for 37l half-ton
trucks to the Northwest Motor Co.
This is the Ford branch in Bethesda,
which a few months ago was the
center of row when Gen. Hugh S.
johnson attempted to block its bids
for trucks because of Henry Ford's
refusal to sign the automobile code.
Four Bids Submitted.
Today's letter brought out the War
Department presumably had proposed
to accept the Northwest bid, which
was the highest of two submitted by
that concern, and also was higher
than two bids from Chevrolet. The
other Northwest bid, however, was the
lowest of the four.
In refusing to accept the low Ford
bid and the two from Chevrolet, the
War Department said the tire-carry-
ing capacity was inadequate. On the
Chevrolet bids, which took precedence
over the high Ford bid, the conten-
tion was that there was a deficiency
of .0102 inches in the tractive factor
AS to the first contention, McCarl
said there was no need shown for
more than the usual tire-carrying
capacity in these trucks. Nor. he
added, was there anything to justify
the conclusion that the tractive fac
tor stated in the specifications repre-
sented an actual need that could not
be met by some other equalizing
factor.
Doubts Need Is Shown.
I'm other words" McCarl said,
there Is no showing that trucks Of
fered by Chevrolet Motors with an al
legged tractive deficiency Of only 0l02
would not meet the actual need of the
service for which they are purchased.
There may be other requirements
in the detailed specifications on which
bids were requested in this instance
which precluded other manufacturers
or dealers from submitting. which
could not be justified by facts as to
actual needs of the service"
In the absence of these facts, Nc
Carl said, the proposed purchase could
not be approved by his office.
