States applied the reading and
writing test as North Carolina
does, the legislation would not
be needed. But the Attorney
General asked the Senator il
he is contending that North
Carolina has people who can
not read or write after finish
ing the sixth grade.
Il have known people to get
PhD.s who were not educated"
replied Senator Erwin, amid
laughter.
The Senator said he con-
tends literacy is a question OF
fact to be determined in each
case. The Senator also con-
tended that all of the cases OF
discrimination cited by the At
torney General would be viola
tions of State laws that could
be stopped by "a few old-fash-
ioned prosecutions"
Too Wide to Halt
Mr.. Kennedy admitted these
examples could be corrected
through litigation, and the de-
partment has started discrimi.
nation cases. But he said the
area of discretion in all type.
OF performance tests is so wide
that other methods of abuse
always can be found.
At one point the Attorne,
General turned the tables or
Chairman Erwin by asking him
if he would favor the legislation
if it were offered as a consti.
tutional amendment.
Il will make that decision
when someone proposes it.
Sen. Erwin replied.
In a letter to the subcom.
mittee, Republican Gov. Rookie.
feller of New York said he
hoped Congress would not limit
its action to literacy tests but
would deal with all recommen.
dations of the Civil Rights
Commission on discrimination
in housing, employment, edu-
cation and the law enforce
ment.

Douglas Profit
On Nike Stirs
Probe Dispute

A Senate subcommittee and
the Douglas Aircraft Co. diff
fered sharply today on profits
the company made on the Nike
missile program.
Donald w. Douglas, jr., pres
ident of the company, con-
tended that the subcommittee;
figure of a profit of -$63.8l
million included S34.01 million
of business expenses not recog-
nized under Government con-
tracts.
He placed the true and rea-
sonable profit on $888.93 mil
lion worth of business at sos
million.
Own Books Cited
Under the questioning OF
Chairman Mcclellan, Demo-
crat of Arkansas, accountants
for the Senate Permanent In
vestigations Subcommittee tes-
titled that Douglas in its owr
books. called the $63.81 million
figure profit.
With an array of figures and
charts the subcommittee inves-
tigatorS traced the history -oi
one contract on which Sena-
tor Mcclellan said the COM
pany made a profit of $1.2
million with an investment in
overhead and engineering OF
only $3.316.
The testimony was given by
Thomas E. Nunnally, General
Accounting Office auditor on
loan to the subcommittee as
Senator Mcclellan stood before
a series of charts tracing the
profits made on the Nike pro-
gram.
The testimony as given by
the subcommittee investigators
indicated that Douglas took a
% per cent profit on the work
done by another company and
also charged a 10 per cent
profit on the $3,316 amount
listed as overhead expense.
In other words, Senator Nc
Clellan said, the company
charged a profit of $1.2 million
on an investment of $3,316.
Douglas Lists Costs
Mr.. Douglas listed the costs
making up the $34.01 million
in business expenses as follows:
"Advertis S ing, $2,140, 900;
amortization of emergency IA
cilities, $1.3 million; interest,
$3.5 million; special develop
ment projects, 24,930, ,000."
I'VE were paid $63,810, 900
for the services we performed, "
Mr.. Douglas said. But in per-
forming those services we had
business expenses that the con-
tract negotiator was not per-
mitted to recognize. When we
deduct these other nonallow-
able costs, we arrive at what is
our true profit"
Reported to Tax Agency
The aircraft executive said
the $29.8 million figure he gave
as true profit was the income
reported to the Internal Reve-
nue. Service for corporate in
come tax purposes. He added
that while the contract nego-
tiator has not been able to rec
ognize the company's additional
costs Of doing business, the tax
people do.
He said the same profit fig
ure was used with the Rene.
gotiation Board, which in
many instances has accepted
them"
No Violations, Mundt Says
Senator Mundt, Republican
Of South Dakota, a subcom-
mittee member, said some man.
Iufacturers may have made ex-
cesSive profits. but they
haven't broken any laws that
we have come onto as yet" He
made the comment in a radio
broadcast. e..
Mr.. Douglas said the sub
contracting system Is cheaper
for the Government than If the
Government itself assigned all
of the work to one company
which would have to include in
its fees the cost of a major
plant expansion.
