The men who rule on these price ad- justments can save the govern ment billions of dollars-or on the other hand, they can permit billions in profits to industry.

 Then in the cost accounting branch of the War Production Board is Dr. Thomas H. Sanders, professor of accounting at the Harvard Business school, who has been close to Haskins & Sells and has done some work for the Haskins & Sells Foundation.
 Another member of Haskins
 & Sells is Lieut.. Col. Andrew Stewart, now in the account ing branch of the War Depart ment.
 Carter and Auld periodically served in the Army and Navy dur ing World War I and in their present positions they are careful to have the accounts of their former clients supervised by other Army and Navy accountants.
