WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
fact that war contractors had
taken big hunks of profit was
confirmed again last week when
the Senate War Investigating
Committee issued a report urg-
ing that any future war con-
tracts of 100000 or more should
be renegotiated when the gov
ernment thinks the contractor is
too much money. One
out of every 20 federal war
contract termination settlements
has been based on fraudulent
claims by the contractor, accord
ing to Comptroller General
Warren.
