675Mi||ion Reported
Saved by Redrafting
War Contracts
Vinson Soys Billions
Will Be Reclaimed
By Reneeotiutions
b. the Associated Press.

Chairman Vinson said yeSter-
day that the House Naval In
vestigating Committee had saved
the Treasury approximately
$675 100000 by promoting rene
gotiation of war contracts
wherein excessive profits have
appeared"
The total by no means represents
all the savings that have accrued
or that will accrue through the
activities of the committee. The
policy of renegotiation and refund
has become an established one now
and is expected to bear increased
fruit as the war program pro-
crosses" he said.
Billions in Savings Seen.
"Renegotiations already have been
entered into by the Navy and War
Departments that will undoubtedly
save sums amounting to billions
of dollars before the war effort is
completed"
Mr.. Vinson said the committees
work, begun a year ago, had been
directed primarily toward scrutiniz-
ing Navy contracts, but inevitably
1t involved War Department con-
tracts, too, as the great majority
of war contractors now are doing
work for both departments"
In summation, he referred brief
ly to three companies that either
have or are in the process of re-
negotiating their contracts with the
Army and Navy.
Sperry Offers to Renegotiate.
He said the Sperry Corp. had
offered to renegotiate with the two
departments to effect a saving Of
500, 100000 on its existing contracts
seven weeks after accountants and
investigators began a survey Of its
books and records.
He reported that the Bendix Avi-
alton Corp. had voluntarily reduced
its prices on Army and Navy con-
tracts by s73,374,OOO 10 days after
its officers had been served with
subpoenas to appear before the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Vinson said that third COM
pany, the name of which he did not
disclose beyond saying that 1t was
zone Of the largest aircraft pro-
ducers," now is in the process Of
reneeotiating contracts whereby
savings amounting to between $685.

Executive Order 10 Halt
Double Pay for SUNDAYS
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Sept, 9-R. J. Thomas,
president of the CIO United Auto
mobile Workers. said today he had
received word from President Roose-
welt that an executive order soon
would prohibit double time pay for
Sunday work within a 40-hour work
week.
The President, Mr.. Thomas said,
urged that UAW-CIO members take
no steps to revise present working
agreements which already contain
such prohibition.
Several months ago the union
waived such premium pay for Sun
day work falling within a 40-hour
week. In August, however, the
UAW-C1O convention adopted a
stand that unless such waivers were
made general throughout industry
local unions would be authorized
again to demand double pay for
Sunday. This authorization was
made automatic after September 8,
the expiration of a 30-day period
set by the convention.
Mr.. Thomas said the White House
plan was disclosed In a telegram
from Marvin II. McIntyys, prest-
Dental secretary.
