By the Associated Press.
Chairman Truman of the Senate
Defense Investigating Committee
and the counsel for the Aluminium
Co. of America disagreed today over
whether the interests of the Gov
ernment are adequately protected in
a contract between Defense Plant
Corp. and Alcoa, for construction
of new aluminium production facilf-
ties.
Earlier a company representative
testified 1t was making more alu-
minum than it could sell.
Il don t think the interests of the
Government are amply protected,
Chairman Truman told Aluminium
Co. representative testifying before
the committee. He added that he
would blame the men in the Gov
eminent who were willing to sign a
contract like that without putting
IN necessary safeguards.
Il think the Government is fully
protected Oscar Ewing, Alcoa
counsel protested.
The company, he said, had under
taken to make the contract 80 fair
that it couldn't be criticized" but
apparently we haven't succeeded -
You haven't succeeded" Chair
man Truman told him. This con-
tract strikes me as being a uni
lateral agreement"
Mr.. Ewing said that under the
contract Alcoa would be general
contractor for more than 100000 900
of construction on which the COM
pany would make no profit, and the
plants to be built would be the most
modern and efficient possible.

Railroads Asked to Cut
West Coast Metal Rutes

The Office of Price Administration
today asked the railroads to reduce
freight rates for iron and steel
articles on all-rail routes to the Pa
cif1c Coast "in the interest of ma
tional defense and price stability"
Suggested reductions would range
from 10 to % cents a hundred
pounds, but would involve raising
present minimum carload weights,
between 10000 and so 900 pounds, to
10000 pounds. The measure is de-
sirable, it was said, because many
of the steamships formerly in inter-
coastal trade have been placed in
foreign service and shippers of iron
and steel products have been COM
PEELED to use all-rail service almost
exclusively.
