GAO to Give Probers 7OOCoses
Involving Contract Switches
Agency Is Compiling Data on Changes Which
Allowed War Manufacturers to Escape Audit

cost plus contract, the manufactur-
er or contractor is given fixed
fee plus the cost involved in pro-
duction. The GAO consequently
check every expense item listed by
the manufacturer to determine
whether any padding" in the costs
was involved.
Delivery Was Only Check.
On the other hand, the amounts
of fixed price contracts were de-
termined by the War and Navy
Departments and the only audit
made by the GAO was On whether
the product was delivered accord
ing to specifications, and this in
formation was furnished by War
and Navy. In these type of con-
tracts, the possibility exists that
the value of the war goods and
weapons was considerably hiked by
the manufacturer out of all pro-
portion to the production costs
involved and reasonable profit.
1t was also learned the GAO is
investigating the link between con-
tracts awarded and those retiring
Army and Navy officers who accept
ed jobs in industrial plants.
One case under GAO investigation
involves a retired Navy commander
who ailegedly got job with q large
defense paint on the promise to the
owners that his friendship with
former Navy officers stationed in
Washington would stand him in
good stead in obtaining fat war
contracts for the firm.
Preliminary investigation has dis
closed that the former commander
Was successful in obtaining large
cost-plus contracts for the firm until
a Navy auditor discovered the con-
tracts We're being padded with fic-
titious expense items. Whereupon,
the company was successful, aileg-
eddy assisted by the former Navy
man, in switching to a flXed-price
contract where expense items
couldn't be investigated.
The GAO expects to submit the
complete list of the cases to the
Senate committee within week OF
10 days.

By Joseph Young

The General Accounting Office
soon will submit to the Senate
War Investigating Committee
more than 100 cases involving
the possibility that war indus
trialists successfully persuaded
War and Navy Department Off
Gals to change their cost-plus
contracts to fixed price contracts
to prevent the accounting office
from auditing the costs involved,
| it was learned today.
Requested by the Committee after
Controller General Lindsay Warren
lashed out at the practice, the GAO
now is compiling the data. While
Committee members and GAO off,
Gals do not believe that each switch
in contracts necessarily involved
| intent to cheat the Government
they feel that some Irregularities
may be uncovered among the cases
Senator Ferguson, Republican. of
Michigan said today the Senate War
Investigating Committee has been
gathering information concerning
war contracts held by the Hayes
Manufacturing Co. of Grand Rapids,
Mich, and the switching of the con-
tract from cost-plus to a fixed
price basis.
Official Has Nothing to Hide
Senator Ferguson said the COM
pany had a subcontract with the
Brewster Aeronautical Corp. of
Brooklyn for manufacture of Navy
airplane wings. George Meader
chief counsel of the committee, told
reporters investigators had gone into
the Hayes contracts thoroughly and
had "a lot of material" on them. He
said whether public hearings will be
held depends on the committee
schedule for the remainder of the
year.
In Grand Rapids, Ren aclaer w
Clark, president of the Hayes con-
Germ, said the company has moth,
ing to hide"
Another Michigan development
in war contracts came from De
troit, where Federal officials dis
closed that so Detroit firms, in
cluding two major concerns, ar
under investigation for violation
of the War Frauds Act.
Padding of Payrolls Cited.

the burdens of campaigning.
If the check was only for one
Iitem-campaign expenses-why were
the others mentioned?" the Senator
wanted to know.
Mr.. Coffee replied the Senator
was being unfair If you are trying
to impute was trying to get money
for family expenses"
Questioned about using the word
slip" in referring to the check, Mr.
Coffee criticized the press for not
mentioning that the word slip" was
first used by Mr.. Anderson. He said
Mr.. Anderson may have referred to
the check by saying slip" because
he didn't want his daughter to know
that he, Republican, was making
a campaign contribution to a Demo-
crat.
Another friend of mine always
calls his checks memoranda, Mr.
Coffee added. Hes a Democrat
and his wife is Republican.
AS questioning Spear-headed by
Senator Ferguson continued to in
terrupt his efforts to tell his story
chronologically, Mr.. Coffee suddenly
doomed into the microphone before
him:
Good God, gentlemen, if there
had been anything undetermined
about this. would I have written a
letter? There would have been
other ways. could have telephoned
l wouldn't have taken a check. ]
would have gotten it in cash.
I'VE were probably stupid and
foolish in our letters, but if you'll
read into them their true intent,
you'll see the money was received
as a campaign contribution and
used as such"

for q future campaign use?" de-
mandeo Mr.. Meader.
The witness retorted that 'he
sent the money for campaign use.
Having given the money, I don't
think Anderson should control its
use
Mr.. Olson said that for all he and
Mr.. Coffee knew. Mr. Anderson had
made good on his promise to solicit
his Republican friends and had
Jumped their contributions into the
$500 check.
Said Coffee Had Gone Into Debt.
Then you knew it was not for the
1888 campaign because Anderson S
friends certainly wouldn't have that
in mind" Senator Ferguson prompt
ly observed.
We'll, his portion may have been
for the 1888 deficit" Mr.. Olson
responded.
He testified that in conversation

quented by politicians. He had
mentioned Mr.. Coffee had once gone
into debt on his 1888 campaign.
Senator Ferguson pounced again
when Mr.. Olson asked permission
to insert in the record an affidavit
from Clyde Philip, Tacoma contrac-
tor and bondSman, in which Mr..
Philip said Mr.. Anderson talked to
him about making a campaign con-
tribution after returning from
Washington with the hospital con-
struction contract Mr.. Coffee and
Mr.. Olson had helped him get.
Ferguson Charges Conspiracy.
Charging conspiracy, Senator Fer
guson declared: That would clearly
indicate Anderson violated the law
and committed crime"
Before recessing until 2:30, the
committee heard a final summation
from Mr.. Olson, who declared that
If I had contracted to perform
services for Mr.. Anderson, as he
claims, would have contracted for
sO-day period-the period of the
contract"
And then would have made An
derson pay for services after the 90
days?" asked Senator Ferguson.
The witness nodded.
In making the charge that Mr.
Anderson tried to blackmail him
Mr.. Olson testified that the conf
tractor threatened to make public
the $500 check.
Says Anderson Asked Contract Aid
He said Mr.. Anderson called him
to his home in Tacoma last Janu-
airy and, after asking more aid from
Washington in getting repayment
on his contract, asked Mr.. Olson tc
withdraw from the mayoralty race
in which both were candidates.
He said if l wouldn't withdraw
leaving him as the only candidate
with Scandinavian name in the
race, he would use the check to in
jure me-" Mr.. Olson told the COM
mittee.
He attempted to blackmail me
into withdrawing. I told him there

Ex-Mayor Revealed Check.
One week after Mr.. Anderson was
defeated in the primaries and one
week before the final election in
which Mr.. Olson lost to C. w. Faw-
cett. Harry P. Cain, the outgoing
Mayor, who now is running for the
Senate on the Republican ticket
made the check public, Mr.. Olson
said.
Asked about the lunch he had with
Mr.. Anderson in the Capitol which
according to Mr.. Anderson, was fol-
lowed by conversation "in lone

Fields Reported Ready
To Explain Operations
In Scarce Materials

Benjamin Franklin Fields, who
figured in the investigation by the
Senate War Investigating Com
mittee, is expected to return to
Washington soon to explain to Off
Gals of a special House committee
investigating surplus property his
alleged brokerage in scarce mate
rials, particularly bronze wire
screening.
Hugh D. Wise, general counsel of
the House committee, said he had
been informed by Fields Office here
that Fields was willing to talk to
committee officials about his oper-
atoms.
WAA Defends Deal.
Mr. Wise said he wanted TO ques-
ton Fields when he returned
to Washington. A meeting of the
Investigating committee, however,
probably will not be held soon, he
indicated, unless some emergency
situation arises.
Committee members have indi-
Gated they want to look into the
operation of Fields as a broker
selling surplus bronze wire, despite
the declaration of War Assets Ad-
ministration officials that their
business transactions with Fields
were entirely legal"
WAA officials recently insisted
that Fields was only one of 12l COM
mercial or nonpriority buyers who
purchased the material after priority
holders were satisfied.
Looks Into Other Activities.
However, Fields bid for 999 800
feet Of bronze wire. it was disclosed
Yesterday by WAA officials. cor
responded almost exactly to the
amount available in surplus stocks
in Richmond, Va. 1t is understood
the House committee wants to in
quire into this.
The committee had been told at a
meeting Saturday that Fields offered
20 sell 539 rolls of the screen to a
Washington hardware firm for So, 085
plus $1,617 commission. The deal
collapsed when Fields asked that
the total amount be paid to him
before the material was delivered.
Oflcials of WAA recently said it
was continuing its own investigation
to determine whether Fields, who
calls himself a Washington public
relations man and who has served
a sentence for mail fraud, has been
interested in other types of
materials
SWAA Aides Indicted
The committee staff is pursuing
several angles of its case in the
absence of Representative Slaughter
Democrat, of Missouri who now is
campaigning for the primary cleo
ton next Tuesday. He is expected
TO return after the primary and
prepare to resume public hearings
Meantime, it was recalled that
about eight employees of the War
Assets Administration previously had
been indicted in various parts of
the country on charges of completely
in alleged illegal conduct.
Representative Ridley, Republican
of Oklahoma an active member of
the committee, said he had not de-
cided whether he could participate
with committee counsel, in ques-
tioning of Fields. If conflicting
engagements during these last three
days of the session of Congress did
not prevent, Mr.. Riley said he
hoped to take part in the question
