Committee to Take Up
Two PIuns for Contract

Declaring that already some
OF our surplus war material is
being thrown away" Chairman
SABBATH of the House Rules Com
mittee today said there ought
to be some prosecutions and jail
sentences"
He made this statement in ex-
pressing strong sentiment for war
contract termination legislation
which would give the Controller
General rigid veto power.
Mr.. Sabath's committee will have
the role of umpire tomorrow when
two different plans for war contract
termination are submitted.
One bill reported by the Military
Affairs Committee would set up
Controller General Warren as virtual
dictator. The other, giving the
Controller General inspecting rights
only for fraud or carelessness, was
released yesterday by the Naval
Affairs Committee.
Cnalrmen at Odds.
Chairmen of the two committees
May for military affairs and Vinson
for naval affairs, both Democrats,
are at sharp odds on the question.
Mr.. SABBATH told reporter today
I'm for the bill that gives COM
plete auditing check, that prevents
any one from throwing away our
surplus material or selling valuable
equipment for bagatelle.
Il forced the issue after the last
war and there were prosecutions and
I'll do it again. Sure the Army and
the Navy don't want the Controller
General in on it. These dollar
year men put in there as assistant
to the assistant to the assistant
general are there to keep an eye
on things for the big boys.
Favors Jail Sentences.
Already some of our surplus war
material has been thrown away
There ought to be some prosecutions
and Jail sentences, not just dis
missals. Well, they're not going to
get away with it."
The Controller General asked both
committees for review rights. With
out such authority, he said he feared
that millions of dollars would be
lost" to the Government.
Proponents of the idea that the
Government contracting agencies
should rule on the major provisions
of termination contend it is job
for engineers and appraisers-not
accountants. Navy men testified
that losses on contracts already
terminated have been infinitesimal
