A House subcommittee de-
cided today against holding
public hearings on a case in
volving an Army contract re-
fund to a New Hampshire tex
tile company. It also disclosed
that Sherman Adams declined
an invitation to testify.
The House Armed Services
Investigating Subcommittee has
been holding closed sessions
for the last two weeks. 1t has
been trying to determine
whether undue influence was
used in connection with a SAL
900 refund by the Armed Serv-
ices Board of Contract Appeals
to the Raylaine Worsted Co. of
Manchester. N. H., last year.
There was evidence that Mr..
Adams. the Assistant to the
President, had communicated
with the board after the COM
pany requested a reopening of
the boards refusal Of its claim
for a refund in the early 1940s.
The White House has de-
clared that there was nothing
improper in the action of Mr..
Adams in this matter and that
it was merely a routine referral.
