Missile Trailer
Profit Of 23%
Cited at Probe
BY the Associated Press

The Government was charged
$11,469,457 profit on a fleet of
missile base trailers which cost
SAC, 889, 345 to build, Senators
were told today.
Robert E. Dunno, a staff in
vestigator, told the story of the
pyramiding profits at a Senate
Investigations Subcommittee
hearing. He said the profit
shared by three contractors
was about 1914 per cent of the
actual production cost of the
trailerS.
He cited figures to show that
less than one-fourth Of the
profit went to the subcontrac-
tor which actually built the
trailers, the Fruehauf Trailer
Co. Two other firms which
shared in the overall contract
added their own fees and prof.
its to the bill the Army paid.
The subcommittee is looking
into the system under which
a contractor signs up for all
or part Of a missile project,
then farms out much or all of
the work to subcontractors.
Some of these in turn put out
the work to other subcontrac-
tors, with each collecting a
profit.
Used as Mobile Housing
The equipment consisted of
a fleet of trailers, used as mo-
bile housing for electronic and
other items at Nike antiair-
craft batteries scattered around
the country.
Mr.. Dunno said the Govern
ment finally paid $62, $40, 846
for the trailers, including
profits and expenses charged
by the companies. He said
Fruehauf's production costs
were $46.Ss9,345, plus general
and administrative expenses of
$2.440,9l0-a total of SAC $780,
255.
Mr.. Dunno said the Douglas
Aircraft Co., as the chief sub
contractor. added $3,674,543 as
its profit and handed the bill
on to Western Electric Co.,
the prime contractor, which
increased 1t further. He said
Western Electric claimed a
profit Of 1925. 842 plus general
and administrative expenses of
$2.171,134. presenting the total
1923 million bill to the Gov
eminent for payment.
Mr.. Dunno said Western
Electric also received additional
sums for providing wheels and
axles for the trailers under a
different contract.
Oppose Competitive Bids
Jerome Alderman, subcom-
mittee counsel, said in ques-
tioning Mr.. Dunno that the
profits paid to Douglas and
Western Electric totaled So
121,519 and "the Government
could have saved that" by buy
ing directly from Fruehauf
Mr.. Dunno said he agreed.
Another witness, Robert
ODell, jr., a civilian industrial
engineer for the Army, testified
that pressures were exerted
against q switch to competitive
bidding for the trailers. With
competitive bids, he said, the
unit price of some of the trail
ers was cut by more than half.
He said the direct bidding per-
mitted the Government to buy
directly from the manufacturer.
Mr.. ODell did not name the
sources of the pressures and
said he encountered none of
them himself.

juror.
In neither case was the jury
told by the Judge they could
not convict IL they felt there
had been consent or II they
entertained reasonable doubt
as to the guilt of the accused.
The century-old state Consti-
tutional provision seemed a
necessary safeguard for the peo-
pie of Maryland when trainers
of the document put their work
together.
Maryland, previously under
the oppression of the Crowns
judicial abuses, wanted a safe.
guard to make certain judges
appointed by government did
not bend the laws to deal with
political undesirables.
For this reason, a jury of
peers with the power to inter-
pref the laws was provided.
Progress by the judicial sys.
tenn apparently has outstepped
Colonial Maryland.

the position that corpora.
ton with stockholders and
outstanding shares of stock
contemplated profit. The fact
that the stockholders wanted
a hospital and not profit had
to be proven the first time in
May, 1921.
At that time, a special ruling
was made by the Federal collec-
tor exempting the hospital from
taxes paid by profit-making
stakeholder corporations. 1t was
touch and go but the hospital
finally proved its point.
The first move to prove the
intent of the stockholders was
not the last. Year after year,
the Maryland General Assembly
had to pass special exemptions
laws for Montgomery General.
The matter of proving its non
profit status was a constant
neck weight.
Whenever statewide laws were
passed exempting non-profit and
charitable organizations from
certain forms of taxation, it was
necessary for the hospital to
chime in Were non-proft, too"
and prove it in order to benefit.
The "Me-Too" title was the re-
suit.
Special legislation was re-
quired, among other things, to
exempt hospital property from
taxes. When the sales tax came
along, it was required to pay
sales tax on its purchases until
special legislation was enacted.
In the matter of requests willed
to the institution, 712 percent
collateral inheritance was col.
lected until the General Assem-
bly, agreed to extend an exemp-
ton.
In the beginning, hospital &C
ton on tax and other matters
was not too difficult. A stock
holders meeting was called and
a vote was taken. But as the
years went along and the found
ers of the hospital passed from
the local scene, problems begar
to mount. Attendance fell of
at called meetings and, in time
no one came at all.
With the passing of the
Original stockholders, the le-
gal questions of ownership
and location of the stock itself
were paramount but remain
ed, largely, unanswered. The
further question existed of
how the corporation would
continue to function and get
on with its business without

outspoken opponents of the pro-
vision was missing from the
appellate court bench.
Missing from the seven-judge
court was Judge Stedman Pres
colt, a critic of the state rule on
the power of juries, who had
disqualified himself because of
his sons participation as de-
tense attorney.

Here, another vital point -

tution-was not mentioned to

sonable doubt"
In both jury findings, the con

failed to inject "a reasonable

tend that the basic difficulty
with (the article) is that it de-

Quoting further, the brief
noted remarks written in an
opinion by Mr.. Justice Story,
concerning competency of a

Hospital Finally Lays to Rest
Ghost of Old Stock Certificates
the voice of its legal owners.

the voice of its legal owners.
Early this year Montgomery
Generals director, Charles D.
Jenkins, and its attorney, ].
Hodge Smith, embarked on a
search for the missing stock and
its present owners SO that a
stockholders meeting could be
called. What jenkins and Smith
wanted to learn at such a meet
ing was this: Would the present
owners whoever they might be,
agree to cancellation of their
shares SO that the hospital cor
poration could reorganize and
end Al years of beating paths to
Annapolis for special legisla-
ton?
Original shareholders, in many
cases, had willed their stock to
heirs. Some of these also had
passed it along. A few had
turned in their shares as gifts
to the institution they helped to
found. Some had even been for
gotten by the original holders
and had been tucked away
among old papers and in safety
deposit boxes. Director Jenkins
did the spade work. Two-thirds
of the shares were required to
vote the stock out of existence
There might have been a chance
that some stockholders would
not be informed on the intent
of the founders.
When the July ii meeting
of the corporation was called,
Jenkins had assembled exact
ly 1858 proxies. The proxies
voted for cancellation of the
stock.
Recently, the Maryland State
Tax Commission approved ar
amendment to the hospital char
ter which made the cancellation
legal. Approval also changed
the name of the hospital from
Montgomery County Genera
Hospital to the less weighty one
of Montgomery General. In ad
dition, it settled once and fol
all, the question of the hospitals
status as a non-profit organiza
ton.
II will do one thing more
With cancellation of the stocl
and non-existent voice of thu
stockholders, the hospital will b.
able to revise and update its by
laws and functions without TIL
maze of red tape which ha'
hamstrung its operations for 81
many years.

ScudIiCl hCpOANA
One upon a time, as the
story books go, there was a
dream. It was back in 1918.
AS dreams go, it wasn't a
big dream, except as dreams
are relative to the area in
which they occur.
But in 1918, in the then thinly
populated rural Olney-Sandy
Spring areas of Montgomery,
the dream of seven men who
gathered and discussed the need
of a hospital in the upper Coun-
ty, was mighty indeed.
The seven who dreamed were
the late DR.. ]. w. Bird; Charles
F. Kirk, Olney; Alban G. Thorn
as, Ashton; Mortimer 0. Sta
bier, Ednor; Clifton H. Devil
bies, Laytonsville; Lewis w.
Bamsley, Rockville; and Allan
Farquhar of Sandy Spring.
But how to raise the money
for so ambitious an enterprise
in the rural middle areas of
the county was a knOtty ques-
ton. In the year of the dream,
however, a corporation was
formed, charter was issued,
and on a few acres of land
I'm Olney the idea Montgomery
County General Hospital be-
gan to grow.
The group Of stalwarts who
believed in the ultimate success
of the venture and the need it
would fill in the community,
with DR.. Bird in the vanguard,
set out to raise $4,000. Six
thousand shares of stock were
sold in the community at $40
q share.
There was no thought of prof
II by the investors and none
was promised. Nonetheless, the
1918 community investment in
its hospital set in motion maze
of legal problems which pursued
and beset the hospital for a.
years and caused the corpora
ton to be known as a me too
organization. 1t was only last
summer that ways and means
were devised of untangling the
red tape extant in its original
charter and in the original
shares of stock.

tury-old argument over the 6
stitutional provision which n
experts.
Men learned in the laws of
this state are hard to find who |
will say the Anticipated law =
paralleled only in Indiana-pro-
vides an accused the due pro-
cess of law guaranteed by the
Federal Constitution.
The Maryland State Bar AS
ISOLATION voted last summer in
favor of repeating the old state
constitutional requirement that
juries shall be judges of the
law as well as the fact. Many
attorneys admit privately the
inequities of the provision but
are reluctant as individuals to
take a public stand. Some con-
cede the law is Anticipated"
and should be repealed.
The basic inequity of this pro-
vision is best told in recounting
the Instructions given jurors in
the rape trial of James and
John Giles and the rape trial of
Joseph Johnson, jr.
Shortly before noon, Dec. 5,
1861, a 12-member Circuit jury
listened intently as Judge James
H. Pugh gave these guide rules
which the jury was to use in
deciding the fate of the Giles
brothers:
Nov, ladies and gentlemen
of the jury, the form of your
verdict in this cae will simply
be Guilty on the first count, or
Guilty on the first count with
out capital punishment or Not
Guilty as you shall find from
the law and the evidence.
"You will make a finding as
to each defendant under that
instructor" He gave the jury
no advice or instructions on the
law in the case.
On Sept. 25, another jury
heard an Anne Arundel County
Circuit judge give these instruc-
tons in the separate trial of
Johnson;
Nov in this case you are the
judges of the law and the facts.
You have heard both the law
] and the facts argued to you. =
Nov on the first count you
can come in with three yer.
diets. Either Guilty under the
first count Guilty under the
first count without capital pun
ishment;' or Not Guilty under
the first count He, too, gave
the jury no advice on what laws
apply to the case.
In the first case, the Giles
brothers were found guilty and
sentenced to die. In the second
case, Johnson was found guilty
with no recommendation for
mercy. He has been sentenced
to death.
The key phrases in both of
these charges are you
shall find from the law and
the evidence" and, in the sec
Ond charge, you are the
judges of the law and the
: facts"
Both give the jury members
an onerous task which many
attorneys would sidestep. This
type of charge, chosen by the
judges in preference to care

r the applicable laws, leaves the
S laymen of the jury to decide be
