tivities of Senator Pepper. Demo-
crat, of Florida and others.
Mr.. Bridges was testifying about
bids on Government purchase Of
100000 gallons of asphalt to pave
runways at Eglin Field, an Air
Corps project.
He said Senator Pepper contended
the contract should be awarded to
the Pan-American Petroleum Corp,
which bid on the material through
its Florida Office.
Lot of Pressure Reported.
The witness said the Procurement
Division told him "a lot of pressure"
had been exerted BY Senator Pep
per and when asked whether
political intervention" prevented
his firm getting the whole order,
replied, There's no question about
that"
He explained that Pan Americans
bid anticipated shipping the ma
terial to the Northwest Florida prof.
ect by barge, while Allied intended
to ship by rail. The question was
whether in a contract with Allied
the Government would get the ad-
vantage of land grant rail rates.
Mr.. Bridges said authorities in
Washington held that land grant
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-06-06

rates would apply, thus making Al
lied's bid lower than that of Pan
American. Accordingly, he said, a
contract was awarded to Allied.
Case Compromised.
Nevertheless, he declared, because
of activities by Senator Pepper and
others, the company was unable to
get shipping instructions.
Subsequently, he said, Pan Amer
lean threatened to bring injunction
proceedings, and the case was COM
promised. He said Pan American
was permitted to deliver 100000
gallons and Allied 100000 with a
promise to the latter that the Gov
eminent would later purchase from
it an additional 100000 for use at
Eglin Field or nearby.
But we didn't make a compro-
mise" said Mr.. Bridges. We were
forced to accept compromise.
