unfortunate impression" prevalent
that the 81 MN. guns carried on
light tanks were inadequate, but he
strongly defended their value.

Cost-PIus Contracts
Hit in House Report
On Army Camps
Initial Use Held Justified,
Necessity for Future
Planning Stressed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A House Military Affairs Subcom-
mittee reported today 1t believed
that under cost-plus-fixed-fee con-
tracts for Army construction the
incentive is actually toward extrava-
gance" but that from a military
point of view "a magnificent and un-
paralleled" housing job had been
done by the Army Construction d.
vision.
Representative Thomsson. Demo-
crat, of Texas, chairman OF the mill
tary subcommittee on real estate
and construction. released an in
terim report which said the greatest
single element increasing cost,
which "has been staggering" was
lack Of planning.
1t pointed out that provision had
been made for future planning in an
effort to meet future needs in or
derly fashion and that the Army
Construction Division was taking
remedial measures to cut excessive
costs wherever possible.
Excessive Salaries Hit.
A special Senate committee issued
a somewhat similar report last
Thursday, criticizing the Army hous-
ing program as "unduly and unnec-
essarily expensive" The Senate
group also found fault with the
cost-plus-fixed-fee method and the
lack of advance planning.
The House report today asserted
that investigation of cost plus fixed
fee construction projects had I'M
covered "glaring examples" where
relatives of construction company
officials were being carried at ex-
cessive salary rates" and revealed
"indiscriminate and exorbitant pay
raises"
One instance was mentioned where
member Of firm with a construc-
ton contract acted as broker in
selling supplies to his own firm at q
profit more than double his share
of the firms fee.
The average cost per man fol
camps and cantonmentS built under
cost-plus- -fixed-fee contracts wal
$68494, the committee said, while
under lump-sum contracts it wa,
S4134o. The cost of Camp Polk
Leesville, La, was highest per man
81 ,263.11, and the lowest was $353.42
at Fort Benning, Ga.
Initial Use Justified.
In its conclusions on cost-plus.
fixed-fee contracts the committee
said 1t found that while the neces-
sity was regrettable, the use of cost.
plus -fixed-fee contract for the
initial great expansion was justified.
The potential evils of the con-
tract, however, are manifold" said
the committee. Under it the
strongest single incentive to econ
omy-the dollar incentive-is COM
pletely lacking. On the other hand
the committee believes that the in
centive is actually toward extrav-
aRance. .
The War Department has dis
covered many Of its mistakes and
corrected them; in matters called
to its attention by the committee II
has been diligent in taking remedial
action. 1t may safely be said that
many millions of dollars will be
saved in the future as a result OF
the matters so worked out"
1t said soon bids would be opened
for construction of camps at For
Smith, Ark, and Santa Maris
Lompoc, Calf, on lump-sum com.
petitive bids.
