WAR Contract Fraud
And Waste Run Into
Millions, Warren Says
BY the Assoeioted Press


The Justice Department is look
ing into q report by Controller
General Lindsay Warren that the
Government lost millions of dol
lars through fraud and waste in
the settlement of war contracts.
Mr.. Warren told Congress yes
terday that the General Account
ing Office, although it had checked
fewer than one-tenth Of some
324. 900 contracts settled. had un-
covered evidence of apparently
excessive or fraudulent payments"
in one case out Of every seven.
In those instances alone. Mr..
Warren said, there is an ''indi-
Gated loss to the Government ex-
|ceeding $25 million"
Says Law flinders Office.
Since this represents "only a
small and fair sampling." he add
ed. IT would hesitate to hazard q
guess as to the full extent of fraud
and oyerpayments."
Mr.. Warren said the accounting
Office uncovered the evidence it
did despite "handicaps and i'm
|pediments" imposed on it by the
Contract Settlement Act. He
urged that Congress repeal that
act and pass a new one giving
the agency greater power to deal
with such cases.
He said the evidence Of over
payments involves only q small
minority" Of the contractors and
officials who negotiated settle
ments.
"Some in Uniform"
He described these few as men
Of low character, including some
in uniform, who were lured by the
profits of the hour and took
advantage of the opportunity af-
forded them by the Contract Set
tlement ACT to feather their
nests.'"
In a breakdown. Mr.. Warren
reported that the General Ac-
counting Office had examined
9.239 settlements covering 1856
of the 323,933 terminated con-
tracts. It found convincing evil
dence." he said, that fraud played
part in at least $40 settlements,
to the tune of $40 million in over
payments.
This evidence has been sent
or is being sent-to the Justice
Department for appropriate &C.
ton" he added. Other contracts
about which there is some sus-
picion. he said. may be sent to
the department for scrutiny later,

Dear Presidents:

lear residents:

IN order that you might have a

ISOLATION. Unless you know the
works and doiings of the Association
u is impossible to instruct those who
have q better knowledge of the
things involved than you. 1t is pa
lhetio TO see q man attempting to
instruct others when he has not kept
abreast with the law himself
1t is a bit pathetic to see a man
or woman trying to instruct, advise,
and suggest something that he is al
together ignorsas a. rressueps4.
when you don't know, you just don't
know, and the only way you will
know is by studying your law and
getting an understanding after stu
dying. If you know what can be
done and what cannot be done, you
don't have to worry: just "sit pat"
The boards are held strictly for
the purpose OF paying off cur hon.
ored dead. Anything other than
this IS absolutely secondary. Any
body who attempts to change this
law is working in opposition to the
Association. Some might suggest
this, that, and the other to be done
in the quarterly BOARD meetings,
2owever, as long as those Of US
know what the boards are held for,
we Go not have to worry to become
alarmed over what some Individual
might suggest or would like to see
done in these particular boards. This
procedure has not just started. Il
has taken this course since the Or
ganization of the Association. II q
person does not know, he just doea

Ober Law Explained

Maryland's Attorney General
Hall Hammond says there is
nothing new about the parts of
the Ober Law which require State
employees to swear they are not
Communists.
Parts of it he told a Baltimore
Democratic meeting last night are
identical to sedition laws which
Maryland has had since shortly
after the Civil War. He predicted
there will be few cases in which
Ober Law violations will be taken
to court. Stiff penalties are pro-
vided in the law for subversive ac-
tivities.-AP.
