New Contract for GS|
To Operate Federal
Cafeterias Discussed
Reported Terms Include
Better Government Deal
And Closer Supervision !.
By Joseph Young

Talks have begun between
Government Services, Inc. and
Public Buildings Administration
officials on the drafting of a new
contract to permit GSI to con-
tinue it's operation of So Federal
cafeterias and snack bars here,
it was learned last night.
Officials of GSI, which is under
investigation by the Senate Civil
Service Committee, denied that the
contract talks are an attempt to
Icircumvent or influence the forth
coming recommendations of the
committee concerning GSIs future.
It was disclosed that the discus
sions center around a more liberal
contract. as far as the Government
is concerned; with GSI to contribute
a greater share of the cafeteria pro-
ceeds to the United States Treasury.
Also. the officials have discussed
imposing closer Government super
vision over the operation OF GS1 AZ
fairs.
GSI officials stressed last night
that the talks have been going on
"for some time" and said the dis
cussions were being conducted by
asome of the lesser officials of GS1
and PBA. This was taken to mean
that w. E. Reynolds, commissioner
of public Buildings, and Gen. U. S.
Grant III, GSI president, have not
sat in on the confabs..
The contract to operate Federal
cafeterias here is issued by the Pub
lie Buildings Administration and
GSI has operated on the same con-
tract since 1927, although changes
have. been made from time to time
to meet new conditions.
Under discussion Is a payment
plan in which GSI would pay the
Government a fiat annual fee, plus
q share OF the profits, for the priv
ilege of operating the cafeterias.
Another provision being discussed
would have GSI pay the Govern
ment a fiat percentage of the gross
receipts.
The current contract provides that
the Government split profits $3.50
with GSI, but there have been years
when no profit was shown and the
Government consequently received
no money.
The provisions under discussion
are said to insure the Government
a haffnr fporria1 deal
Also, the question Of closer Gov
eminent auditing and supervision
over the cafeterias' operation is re-
portedly being discussed as desirable
items to be included IN q new con-
tract
