Advance Payment Plan
To Speed Army Contracts

Undersecretary of War Patterson
yesterday authorized the chiefs Of
arms and services, on their own re-
sponsibility, to make advance pay
ments up to 50 per cent on Army
contracts under 5000, 900 in an e.
fort to speed up decentralization Of
production.
The step was q follow-up Of the
action taken on December II, au-
thorizing these same chiefs to award
such contracts up to $5000,00O in
their own Offices and further to
authorize field procurement agencies
to make awards without sending
them to Washington for approval.
Direct payments to prime con-
tractors will be limited generally to
80 per cent Of the contract totals,
but sub-contractors needing addi-
tional financial assistance may re-
ceive an additional 20 per cent. The
purpose Is to encourage the use of
sub-contractors in the war produc-
ton effort.
Undersecretary Patterson will re-
tain general supervision of all ad-
vance payments but staffs are being
set up in the omces Of the chiefs Of
supply arms and services and in the
field to pass on the payments.
