F. B. ]. Hunting Thieves Who Took Carson Files

Washington, Aug. s-(UP) - The General Accounting Office today prepared a new list of alleged war profiteers and Government officials sus- pected of improper" conduct. The cases were disclosed by routine audits of Government books, and will be turned over to the Senate War Investigat- ing Committee within 10 days.
 The GAO report and the biggest flood of tips in the committees four-year history promised greater sensations than the recent hearing into the Carson munitions con- blne, committee sources said.
 Hunt For Thieves
 Federal Bureau of Investigation agents meanwhile hunted for thieves who rifled committee files on the Carson case Committee Counsel George Meader hinted that the theft was an inside job Names of suspects have been re- celved, he said.
 Meader disclosed that the mum Der of cases" which the GAO will bring to the attention of the Mead Committee include:
 1. Instances of improper ac- tion on the part of Government Jni1 V contractor with whom the offi- clal had past, present or pros pective connections.
 ?. Improper claims by gov ernment officials for allowances.
 3. Expenditures on the part of war contractors which they have sought to charge improp- erly to the cost of performance on government contracts
 4. Examples of highly profit able coS--plus fixed fee con- tracts
 5. Examples of conversions from -plus-fixed-fee con- tracts to fixed-price contracts more favorable to manufactur- CTS.
 Government Laws
 Comptroller General Lindsay c Warren informed the committee that all the cases would empha- size the weakness of Government procurement laws and practices.
 Committee Investigator Thomas O'Connell said the committee is so busy merely acknowledging the horde of new leads that t has no time, at present, to try to develop any of them into full-scale investi- gations.
 The giat of the tipsters letters. he said, is
 If you think the Carson case ls something, you ought to see what happened here
