Action Sought TO Get
.S26,000,000 Due U.S.
Despite Lost Records
By the Associoted Press

The Maritime Commission, hard
pressed by Senate investigators,
today promised swift action to COL
lect some $26.O0O,O00 owed to the
Government for more than two
years.
The commission said a special
staff of accounting, experts will
begin work on the project i'm
mediately.
An official of the agency startled
members of a Senate Expenditures
Subcommittee yesterday when he
told them one reason for the de-
lay was that "disgruntled en-
ployes" had thrown some of the
necessary records into the trash
basket.
Advances for Construction.
Many of these accounts receiv-
able. repeatedly dating back to the
early days of the war, represent
advances made to private business
for the construction and opera
ton of the wartime merchant
fleet.
K. E. Harris, acting chief of
the commisSion's internal control
branch, testified that no attempt
had been made to collect the null
timillion dollar accounts since l947
because of a lack of skilled per-
sonnel.
Then he told Senator Hoey,
Democrat, of North Carolina. and
his investigators that numerous
records needed for the job had
been destroyed or tossed out by
workers.
They were disgruntled en-
ployes waiting for the hatchet to
fall Mr.. Harris said.
Most of Records Duplicated.
He added that the loss to the
Government probably will be
small because most of The records
were duplicated. But under cues
tioning from Senator Mccarthy,
Republican. of Wisconsin, MIR.
Harris said he didn't know
whether all the documents were
replaced.
1T is conceivable that these
missing papers will result in losses
of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to the Government" the Wis
consin Senator declared.
William P. Rogers, the commit
tees counsel. told reporter the
aim of today's session will be to
learn why additional personnel
was not hired last year to bill
the accounts.
The Senators were told yester-
day that the log jam developed
after Congress slashed the COM
missions accounting staff by IS
per cent in mid-l947.
Mr.. Rogers asserted, however,
that lat least 100000 was avail
able in commission funds" i'll l948
to hire the 25 persons needed to
process an estimated $4,000 &C
counts.
New Procedures Sought.
Commission witnesses today are
expected to outline new pro-
cedures under which the agency
is keeping pace with current bill
ings.
The special staff to be assigned
to the unbilled accounts will num-
ber about % persons. skilled and
trained in accounting techniques.
The commission estimates it will
take at least a year to catch up.
Senator Mundt. Republican, Of
South Dakota. called the billing
delay "the most gross and glaring
example of Government inef-
hciency and neglect I have heard
in 10 years in Washington.
Senator Hoey has said the COM
mlttee's purpose is not to fix
responsibility for the present Sit
