Defense Contract Policies
Cuttinu Excess Profits

Pricing policies Of the defense
agencies and better procurement
techniques appear to be cutting
the possibilities of excessive profits
on defense contracts, according to
John r. Koehler, Renegotiatlon
Board chairman.
Mr.. Koehler said this is based
on reports received so far OF
profits of contractors and sub
contractors whose business year
ended before last. January /.
Renegotiation of defense con-
tracts is provided by law to trim
down profits shown to be excessive.
But contractors and Subcon-
tractors who receive $250,000 or
less are not affected. Mr.. Koehler
said yesterday about 54 per cent
OF all fall in this category.
He estimated that it will be
necessary to renegotiate about
1000 contracts. or about half the
number which exceed the statu-
tory minimum. Samplings of the
reports so far received, he said,
indicate that the other 1000 had
profits which clearly could not
be considered excessive and need
not be renegotiated."

Often Heard Excuses.
Other alleged alibis for failure
to vote are better known. and
answerable with equal ease for
any one who recognizes a funda-
mental obligation and opportu-
nifty to be a full-time citizen.
Among the often-heard excuses
are that: Government is too big
and the issues too hard to under
stand. We don't know the candi-
dates or what they stand for. We
are too busy to vote. We will get
hours off or perhaps full holiday
to vote, so why not play golf or
bridge or go somewhere else. We
can't make up our minds. We
can't get conveniently to the poll
ing place. Besides, we're not in
terested in politics or politicians.
And. last but not least, people
naturally resist being "nagged"
into voting just as much as being
told" how they must" vote.
Often those non-voting citizens
become the loudest in nagging or
telling-of the elected candidates,
and even the defeated ones.
In any event. and for so i'm

Veterans supporting Joel T..
Broyhill for the House told tele-
vision audience last night why
they think other voters in the
10th Virginia district should help
elect the Republican candidate.
Mr.. Broyhill also spoke on the
program. carried by WMAL-TV.
He said Gen. Eisenhower is the
best-equipped man in America to
assume the greatest task any
President ever had.
"Ike Eisenhower will never let
you down." the House candidate
said.
Mr.. Broyhill's own qualifications
were discussed and praised by
Vincent Marcun, chairman of the
veterans group; Harris Richards,
Thomas Roland, Vernon Hill and
John F. Hoeft Approximately 40
other members of the organiza-
ton attended the program, which
included question-and-answer
period.
Mr.. Marcum said Mr.. Broyhill
has brilliant record of military
achievement" and declared his
peace-time record in business and
civic affairs has been equally inn
pressive.
Mr.. Hoeft criticized the Demo-
cratic House candidate. Edmund

smear tactics in an effort to cast
unjust and objectionable slurs on
Mr.. Broyhill's character and the
construction firm of M. T. Broy-

Halloween passed quietly into
the limbo of forgotten holidays
today, so quietly that Washington
police and firemen almost had to
pinch themselves to make sure.
"The quietest we have ever
lseen." police summed up the
event usually punctuated by mis-
chief calculated to unnerve the
|calmest citizen.
Instead of the usual IS to 100
false fire alarms, only IL were
turned in last might've of them
by women old enough to know
better. In addition to the women
police captured two juveniles in
the act of calling out firemen.
Activity in Suburbs.
More activity was reported in
nearby sections. In Montgomery
County a carload of pranksters
tipped from fire hydrant to fire
hydrant, opening about 30 of
them. Prince Georges County
blamed about 10 brush and grass
fires on boys with matches.
The cooperation of police, fire.
men and citizens in laying a huge
psychological trap for would-be
pranksters probably cut down the
incidence of missing gates and
cows perched atop schoolhouses.
They invited kids to scores of
parties at schools and recreation
centers, staged parades and other
stunts which seemed to get their
minds off anything more serious
than window-soaping.
Fire Boxes Guarded.
But even more practical was
the work Of 500 reserve police and

3Pct. Increase
Ordered in DC.
Relief Payments
1900 on Rolls
Affected Under
December | Rute

The Board Of Public Welfare
has ordered q 3 per cent increase
in the amounts paid to persons
on public assistance rolls. begin
ming with the December l pay
mentS. This means that about
$4,000 persons on relief rolls will
receive total Of about $4,000
more each month for the remain
der Of the fiscal year ending next
June 80.
In no case will the amount paid
to large families on relief exceed
the present $3.50 a month. The
increase raises the assistance rate
to 100 per cent of the April,
1850, cost of living.
Increased Federal payments to
the District relief agency by the,
action of Congress this year made
possible the increase.
Would Permit Surplus.
Gerald M. Shea, director. and
Donald D. Brewer, assistant direc-
tor of the Public Welfare Depart
ment, told the board at its meet
ing yesterday afternoon that cur
rent estimates indicate that avail
able District funds for welfarel
($2,805,272) along with the in
crease in Federal funds, are|
enough to pay 100 per cent to
relief recipients, and leave the
welfare fund with surplus of
$28,518 at the end of the fiscal
year.
The board also decided to ask
the Commissioners to restore some
Of the cuts in this years appro-
priation, particularly in the Child
Welfare Division, the Industrial
Home School (colored) and the
National Training School for
Girls. This was decided after
members were informed that the

there would be $40 million sur
plus at the end of this fiscal year.

In addition to restoring some of
the cuts, it was also voted to ask

needed for paying additional
funds for foster homes.
He also said there should be a |
change in the regulations now
controlling foster homes. Many
homes are deprived of taking fos-
ter, children because of zoning
regulations and Health Depart
ment rules. When these homes are
closed to Washington children,
they have to be sent to homes in
Maryland, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, where, in addition to the
payment to foster homes, the
board has to pay for their educa-
ton. If they were housed in Wash
ington homes, they could attend
District schools.
Children Receive Aid.
Mr.. Shea said prompt and ef-
fective action should be taken by
the board on measures within
their control on aid to dependent
children, because 6,521 children
now receive aid.
A subcommittee was appointed
by the board to confer with the
managers of the Temporary
Homes for Sailors, Soldiers and

Mobilization Leaders
Hit by Senator'S for
Preparedness Lag
By Iohn A. Giles

A Senate watchdog committee
has expressed deep concern thai
administration mobilization lead

great danger that confronts the

The don't disturb the civilian

Armed Services Subcommittee last
night, has resulted in "a small
number of guns and a great
amount of butter, with a consider
able number of lollipops thrown

In a report of it's inquiries made
since the start of the Korean war
the Senators had this to say about
the mobilization program:
Deliveries of defense hard
'goods-planes, tanks, ammunition
and guns-have fallen dangerously
behind schedule; so much so that
the chances Of reaching the mini
mum preparedness within the
time set by our military planners
seemed remote" 49,.
Lack Sense Of Urgency.
"Those responsible for the Ma
tion's current rearmament pro-
gram lack the sense of urgency
that has previously goaded Amer
leans into their tremendous pre-
|paredness achievements" the
group declared. .
"It is significant that three diff
.ferent men have held the top
Government spot in aircraft pro-
Icurement since the outbreak OF
the Korean war. It is significant
that far too many production jobs
are filled by men lacking expert

their teeth on the production line

jobs have gone untitled with nc
takers to be- found who are viii.

ing the comforts and emoluments
OF pTlVaBe lnQuSLFy.
Sharp Comment on Waste.
At the same time, the Senators
commented sharply on the waste
by the military.
''It is not an easy task to
change the deeply ingrained atti-
tudes of military men who, for
centuries, have operated on the
theory that cost is not a compel
ling consideration" they declared.
What the committee is seeking
to do is to erase from the minds
of the military men the fallicious
idea that the Nations economic
struggle is no concern Of theirs.
However, it is done, some way
will have to be found to inculcate
into our men in uniform the fun
|damental concepts of sound busi-
ness practice"
