with Integrotion Pressure

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. % (P.
Archbishop Joseph Francis

And the 80-year-old arch
bishop feels that times are
changing in the South. too.
Actions Bring Bitter Fight
Last Sunday, after months Of
prayer and study, he denounced
segregation as morally evil and
sinful in a strongly worded pas

letter left little doubt that it

Navy Contracts
|Edict Is Illegal,
|HouseUnit Says
BY ROBERT X. WALSH

Negotiation is the life Of con-
matchmaking even if it takes
time, a House Armed Services
subcommittee emphasized today
in criticizing the Navy for a
probably unlawful" directive
allowing contract awards on the
say-so of Navy negotiators.
The subcommittee, interested
especially in military methods of
buying equipment and building
facilities, served notice it would
ask the Congress to outlaw that
regulation unless the Navy
abandons the practice.
Unanimous in Stand
Through its chairman, Repre-
sentative Hebert, of Louisiana,
the subcommittee took unani-
nous issue with a Navy direc-
tive it said allows contract
awards without competitive bid
ding when a Navy negotiator
considers proposed prices to be
reasonable.
IF a contract does not need
further talks between the Gov
ernment and the bidder" the
subcommittee stated, "there is
no reason why that type Of pur-
chase cannot be accomplished at
open. advertised, competitive
bidding"
The Hebert subcommittee
often has frowned on various
material procurement policies
and practices of the armed
forces. 1t long has championed
what it called 'free and OPEN
bidding in military as well as
civilian governmental buying
Its report today was especially
severe, although it dealt only
with the Navy.
Directive Is Quoted
The report referred particu-
larly to the Navy directive provi-
sion which provides:
Where the negotiator is salts
fed from the proposals sub
mitted that there has been ade-
quate competition and that the
low price or prices are reason
able, award should be made
without further negotiation as
to price to that responsible firm
submitting the proposal which
is most advantageous to the
Government. In such cases it is
the policy Of the Navy not to
attempt to reduce the initial
quotations by further negotia-
ton"
That provision aroused the
subcommittee to make this COM
ment:
"We think this directive is not
only unlawful but that it is an
evasion of the statute. We think
