Senators May Reveal
Use Of Girls 10 HeIp
In Getting Contracts

An Army contractors use of
girls to create a favorable at
mosphere" with Philadelphia pro-
curement officers may be dis
closed publicly by the Senate
Investigations subcommittee.
Senator Hoey. Democrat, of
North Carolina, chairman of the
permanent investigating group,
said today several members of his
subcommittee have asked for a
public report on the groups in
vestigation of the Army Signal
Corps procurement office in Phil
adelphia.
The inquiry was conducted last
September and several closed
hearings were held but the only
public statement on it was a brief
announcement that two civilian
procurement officers were relieved
of their duties.
Senator Hoey explained that
procurement officers are allowed
considerable discretion in award
ing contracts under $1,000, while
those over $1,000 must go before
the procurement board. He said
the investigation of a large con-
tract awarded to a New York COM
pany appeared to be all right but
a number of small contracts
awarded to the same concern were
questioned. Repeatedly, more
than $4,000 worth of contracts
were involved.
The contractor, described as a
middleman with electronics equip
ment to sell, evidently created a
favorable atmosphere" Senator
Hoey said. Other sources said
this atmosphere was created
through favors ranging from en-
tertainment complete with girls to
free tickets to baseball games.
Senator Hoey said the situation
had been cleaned up but the sub
committee staff is making another
check to bring its findings up to
date before the subcommittee de-
cides finally whether to publish
a report.

Yesterday representatives OF 38
chapters outlined their thoughts
on whether the agency should
continue to conduct separate fund
campaigns or take part in joint
campaigns.
Sentiment was said to be di-
vided, with such cities as Phlla-
delphia. Detroit and Pittsburgh
wishing to join forces with other
organization for employe solici-
tation drives. Other chapters, such
as this city's, wish to continue in
dividual efforts.
Proponents of the individual
campaign point to Red Cross pc
culiar needs, such as the recent
great Midwest floods. Such disas-
ters require instant action, and
cannot wait for a time when other
agencies are collecting funds, it
is said
The possibility of a compromise
was seen, giving those chapters
which desire it more latitude in
conduct of campaigns.
