that it has been every year in

my boys made acceptable music
for the occasion. The music was
provided by the cooperation of

reputation for fairness and good
Judgment. Cooperation from the
Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett
and the Secretaries of the Army,
Navy and Air is being evidenced.
To give you an idea Of the de-
tail with which expenditures are
being considered: the report goes
from the super abundance to top
brass in Washington to an item OF
million or more dress gloves re-
quested for which bids had been
received ranging from Sl.lO to $1.3O
q pair.
Secretary for Air Finletter had
the matter looked into and advised
Senator johnson that a military
recruitment for the cotton dress
glove as a mandatory item for all
personnel failed to be established"
.. Military police and escorts can
still be sufficiently dressed wearing
the inexpensive Army-type white
cotton gloves, it was decided"
Meanwhile an alert unidentified
non-commissioned officer at one of
our air bases, knowing the des-
perate need for pipe in defense in
dustries, started an investigation
into the why and wherefrom of 300
lengths Of steel pipe, some of which
was being cut up for use as road
markers, that arrived mysteriously
at the field some 18 months ago,
notified Senator Kefauver OF the
find. The matter was turned over
promptly to the Preparedness Sub
committee. The Commanding Of
ficer was ordered. to fix the blame
for inappropriate use of this ma
terial," and to notify the Air Force
Secretary of the disciplinary action
taken.
Inspection of poultry and pro-
curement of dried eggs has also

paredness Committee, the first be-
cause of duplication of effort

culture when purchased, and the
Army Veterinary Corps repeats the
process. Senator johnson says ito
my mind this represents stubborn
determination to spend federal
funds needlessly."
Dried eggs are another item
causing controversy. Reports are
that the taxpayer is losing money
because the Departments of Army
and Agriculture could not get to-
gether on their specifications for
the purchase of this item for use
by the Army. Investigation by my
Office witt both Departments how
ever, brings out that great effort
has been made to devise specifica-
tionS that would meet the Army
requirements at the least expense
to the taxpayer.
Always complex subject, let me
elaborate. Since last Fall the Army
has purchased 100000 pounds of
dried eggs on the open market at
$l.3O per pound. The bulk of these
were purchased about year ago
at time when the Department Of
Agriculture was supporting farm
prices of eggs. The criticism is that
the Army should have purchased
their requirements from the Com
modify Credit Corporation "a
branch of Agriculture at the do
mestic price of S1.04 per pound. But
there were reasons why this could
not be done.
The dried eggs required by the
Army must be prepared under
specifications which will preserve
them under all weather and battle
conditions. To do this the eggs must
be dried twice to reduce the moist
ure content to a minimum, and
then be gas-packed in tin to assure
retention of palatability and keep
ing qualities. The dried eggs bought
by the Department of Agriculture
for price support purposes, on the
other hand, while of high quality
and inspected by the government,
were k-packed at a relatively
high moisture content, thus max
ing them unsatisfactory for field
use by the Army. The Departments
both agreed that re-drying Of the
CCC.-owned eggs to meet Army
specifications would have been not
only unfeasible but more costly than
preparing the original product.
The result of the experience IN
1850. therefore, was that the De-
partment of Agriculture was re-
ullired to buy fewer eggs as a result
of the Army's purchase than would
otherwise have been the case.
These examples Of effort on the
part of the Senate Preparedness
Subcommittee to insist upon
more careful handling of your tax
dollar and mine should be hearten-
ing, don't you think so?
