A House subcommittee today
directed the Navy. Bureau Of
Aeronautics TO disclose discus
sions. and the names of par
ticipating officers. concerning
moves In recent years to termi-
nate contracts for engines con-
sidered inadequate for Demon
Jet planes.
The request came after retired
Rear Admiral Lloyd Harrison. q
former deputy chief Of the bu-
reau, was questioned further
about his employment last Au-
gust as a vice president of the
Mcdonnell Aircrtf Corp. Of st.
Louis. Mo-, manufacturer Of the
F3H Demon.
Admiral Harrison testified he
obtained legal advice as to
whether he should take that job
Immediately after retiring from
the Navy. He declared he was
confident that he acted legally
and properly. He said he ex-
amined very carefully" naval
regulations setting forth policy
relating to positions which naval
officers may accept after leaving
the service.
Four Days Of Hearings
In testimony yesterday he
said it was probably true" that
while in the Bureau of Aero
nautics. he opposed termination
Of some of the J-40 engine con-
tracts earlier than they even
tually were ended.
The J-40. manufactured by
the Westinghouse Electric Corp,
was bought by the Navy for the
Fish plane during the last fouI
years. Because of production
delays, performance difficulties
and other factors. including q
major change in the plane de-
sign itself. the Navy found the
Jr4O unsuitable and finally cam
celed the remaining contracts
early this year.
The House Government Oper-
atoms Subcommittee ended four
days OF public hearings on the
matter early this afternoon. In
an Operation Mop-up" the SUBJ
committee devoted its final ses-
sion to additional questioning Of
Rear Admiral Thomas S. Rus
sell, chief of the Bureau OF
Aeronautics, and j. S. McDon-
nell, president. Of the aircraft
company, as well as Admiral
Harrison.
Admiral Harrison was asked
what would have happened to
the Mcdonnell contract If the
Westinghouse engine contracts
were terminated at earlier dates.
He replied that obviously there
would have been no deliveries OF
planes without engines"
Calls for Top Names
The subcommittee then re-
quested Admiral Russell, CHIEF
Of the bureau. to provide sum-
maries Of discussions in the bu-
reau concerning J-40 engine
contract examinations since 1851
and the names Of top officers
who made any suggestions or de-
cisions in that matter.
Later in the session Admiral
Russell highly praised Admiral
Harrison, who at one time was
his deputy. He informed the
/ subcommittee that Admiral
/ Harrison had planned a "quiet
life as a professor after retire
ment. When he received the
Mcdonnell employment offer
Admiral Harrison went into the

Navy Directed to Disclose
Jet Contract Discussions

Industry because he regarded
it as his duty" Admiral Russell
declared.
The Navy. which in 1851
awarded contracts TO Westing-
house and Mcdonnell for the
combined airframe and engine
project, became dissatisfied with
the Westinghouse engine deliy-
cries and performance as long
ago as 1858. II finally Cancelled
remaining contracts for those
engines last july. It began put

the Allison Division Of General
Motors C0rp.-into the F3H

The principal witness fol
Westinghouse yesterday. w. w
Smith, manager of the COM
pany's aviation gas turbine d.
vision, took sharp issue with
some of the testimony earlier
this week. He also denounced
what he described as grossly
exaggerated" public reports
about the J-40 engine.
Denies Charge
He denied that the J-40 was
"a defective engine or that planes
powered by that engine won't
n.y." Answering earlier testimony
by several Navy officials thai
Fish planes equipped with J-4l
engines were involved In several
fatal or near-fatal crashes, Mr.
Smith declared:

Admiral Harrison. while not
a surprise witness. was called
suddenly to the stand Just before
the noon recess yesterday. He
defended his employment by the
Mcdonnell company. where he
went the day after retiring from
the Navy.
He insisted he had no direct
contacts with the Mcdonnell
firm while he was in the Bureau
Iof Aeronautics, and no contacts
with his former Navy colleagues
since he joined the st. Louis
ifirm.
Subcommittee questioning
failed to bring out clearly wheth-
Ter there was any major disagree
iment on his part or among other
Navy officials as to the timing
and methods of terminating J-4o
engine contracts or cutting back
the number Of planes originally
ordered from Mcdonnell. Admiral
Harrison said his routine duties
may have included signing some
papers for such plane cutbacks
Mr.. Mcdonnell later defended
the employment Of Admiral Har-
|risCn. He said this was the FIRST
time his company ever hired .
former Government ofiicial but
was fully justified In this instance
because of the high qualifications
and character of Admiral Har-
IriSon.
Subcommittee Chairman Holi-
field. Democrat Of California,
Icommented that he and his sub
committee had the highest re-
Ispect for Admiral Harrison and
other officials Of the Mcdonnell
company. :

really do appreciate what they
are doing for all of us.
We the Seniors are having a
dance and we hope that you
the teenagers of Robbins will
act as intelligent at our dance
