Had "a" Inspection Rating.
The plant, making air-cooled en-
gines, for many months held an
"a" inspection rating, which meant
that the company had the prime
responsibility for inspecting the out
put. 1t employed 2,400 inspectors,
while the Army had 10 over all
three shifts.
Most of the representatives Of
the Army Inspection Service who
appeared before the committee" I"
the report said, displayed an undue
regard for the well-being of the
Wright Aeronautical Corp. and too
often seemed to be motivated by a
desire to protect the company and
it's interests. It was found that
the feeling was deliberately fos-
tered among the Air Force inspec-
tors that they must be cooperative
with the company if they were to
get along we'll in their jobs"
Grimly listing alleged defects o1
the material put out at Lockland
the Senate group declared that its
evidence indicates, besides gasoline
leaking engines being sold to the
Government, that:
Unsafe material has been discov-

shipment; the company's own field
representative indicated that parts
failed in a number of cases.
Cite Army Plane Crashes.
A substantial number" of planes
using engines made in the Lockland
factory have had crashes in which
engine failures we're involved. How
ever, the committee added this is
also true of other engines, some OF
which have had higher accident
records"
More than Is per cent of the

one or more major parts during
three-hour test runs; none has sue

Spare parts were shipped without
proper inspection.
Claiming it had received evidence
that the Air Force inspection per-
sonnel at Lockland "abetted" the
company in its practices, the COM
mittee asserted:
"These officials, apparently led by
the chief inspector for the Army

The Truman Committee said yes

progress" recently, it had not pro-
duced a plane capable of use at the
front until few months ago.

Attributed to Subcontracting.
The committee attributed recent

The Truman Committee began
receiving complaints about the Lock-
land plant last January, but held
back its investigation until both the
company and the Army had a
chance to look into the situation.
Both said they found nothing irreg-
ular which needed correction.
But the Senate group, unsatis-
fled, held six days of hearings, here
and at Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio,
taking 1926 pages of sworn testi-
mony.
"The committee found" the re-
port said, that the company was
producing and causing the Govern
ment to accept defective and sub
standard material. This was ac-
complished in the following ways:
81. BY the Justification OF tests.
