Navy Secretary Fred A. Korth
has been accused by investi-
eating Senators Of using raw
judgment" in the decision on
the Tx war plane contract.
Testimony released BY the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee today revealed that Mr..
Korth was taken to task over
the manufacturing arrange
ments for the fighter plane de-
signed for use by both the Air
Force and the Navy.
According to subcommittee
members who questioned Mr..
Korth in q closed hearing yes
terday, the plane win be man
ufactured in part at the Cen
eral Dynamics Corps plant IN
Fort Worth, Tex, and at the
Grammar Aircraft Co.'S Long
Island, (N.Y) facilities.
Military Overruled
The two companies jointly
received the contract after the
Pentagon's civilian chiefs, in
GLIDING Mr.. Korth, overruled
unaniamous military recon-
mendations of favoring a plane
proposed by the Boeing Air
craft Co. of Seattle.
Mr.. Korth told the subcom-
mittee that final arrangements
for manufacturing the air.
craft in a program estimated
to cost eventually more than
s6.5 billion have not been
settled.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas, and other sub
committee members asked Mr..
Korth how he could have
decided that General Dynamlcs
bid would be less expensive in
the long run, when he did not
know what the manufacturing
arrangements would be.
Separated Construction
The subcommittee members
said they understood one part
of. the plane would be built in
Forth Worth and the other on
Long Island. and then switched
back and forth for final assem-
bly, and testing.
Senator Mcclellan recalled
that Defense Secretary Nc
Namara had said he used
rough Judgment" in determin-
ing the relative cost of rival
bids and then told Mr.. Korth:
81 declare from this situa-
ton It seems to me like you are
using raw Judgment, without
knowing where they are going
to build it, which is building
what?"
II think it is very good judy
ment," Mr.. Korth replied.
Not Yet Determined
II know you have two COM
panies and you don't know
which is going to build now,

On Tx, Senators Charge

or where, seven months after
the contract has been let"
Senator Mcclellan said.
1T has not been determined,
as far as I know" Mr.. Korth
said.
Senator jackson, Democrat
Of Washington, said 1t was
amazing that such matters had
not been settled more than
seven months after the con-
tract was let. Mr.. Kofth
pointed out that the program
is now in the development
stage and that manufacturing
has not been started.
Senator Mcclellan asked Mr..
Korth how he knew he would
be getting q cheaper plane
when you don't know what
the arrangements for produce
ton are"
Mr.. Korth: "I'm getting the
least complex airplAne."
Senator Mcclellan: stick to
the issue"
Mr.. Korth: THE airplane Is
bound to cost less"
Senator Mcclellan: Can you
tell me how much 1t is going
to cost to ship these planes
back and forth?"
Can't Figure Cost
Mr.. Korth: II can't . you
are magnifying this, / think,
out Of proportion.
Senator Mcclellan: Il don't
think so. ] think it is some
thing you would know about
before you would take the po-
sition you have"
The subcommittee members
said the arrangement would in
volve two separate assembly
lines. They recalled testimony
that Mr.. Mcnamara had vetoed
a similar arrangement involving
another aircraft company.
In q lengthy hearing yester-
day afternoon, the subcommit-
tee members also challenged
Mr.. Korth's contention that the
GeneEalD ynamics- Grammar
combination will provide, q
better aircraft than Boeing.
The military said Boeing
promised a superior plane at
less cost.
The subcommittee members
said Mr.. Korth, Secretary Nc
Namara, and Air Force Secre-
tary Eugene Zuckert overruled
recommendation Of "the highest
military competency" in max
ing the award to General
DynaInics.
Reports Officers Pleased
Mr.. Korth. testifying in a
closed session, insisted he had
ample reasons" for not acting
as what he called a rubber
stamp for the source selection
board that recommended
Boeing's design.
He also contended that high
naval officers who recently
have criticized the decision in
testimony before the Senate

BY EARL H. VOSS
Star staff writer

Chairman Glenn T. Seaborg
of the Atomic Energy Com
mission believes the detection
of possible Soviet nuclear tests
In the atmosphere last month
will make no substantial diff
ference in the new try for a
nuclear test ban treaty.
In q Voice of America press
conference today, DR.. Seaborg
said the administration found
the evidence inconcluSive and
ut, therefore, was thought that
1t shouldn't be revealed or an
nounced as evidence for an
atmospheric test"
Other officials disclosed there
have been two suspicious ex-
plosions detected in the Soviet
Union since the President >on
June 10 declared a moratorium
on United States atmospheric
tests so long as other powers
followed suit.
The first test, believed to be
about / kiloton, the equivalent
in explosive power of 1000 tons
of INT, was noticed June IL.
A second shot Of less than /
kiloton is reported to have
been noticed the next day.
On-Site Inspection Issue
DR.. Seaborg said the lack Of
conclusive evidence has little
impact on the United States
argument that on-site inspec-
tons are required to police a
nuclear test ban.
United States proposals en-
vision no requirement for on
site inspections to investigate
atmospheric nuclear tests. IN
der the United States proposal
for a treaty banning nuclear
tests, on-site inspections would
be authorized only in case of
suspicious underground shocks
for which detailed seismic indi-
cations could be produced.
DR.. Seaborg also confirmed
that the administration is con-
sidering a reduction in the pro-
duction Of fashionable materials
for nuclear weapons.
The Star reported last week
that the United States is con-
sidering a cut In production of
weapons-grade fashionable ma
terials of about one-half be-
ginning July /, 1864.
Recognition that the United
States now has "a very high
production capacity" ha s
caused studies to be under
taken Ito see whether the mill
tary requirements are such
that the rate of production of
fashionable materials can, in
fact, be decreased" DR.. Sea-
borg said.
Says u. s. Is Ahead
These steps have been taken
independently Of disarmament
negotiations, DR.. Seaborg said
II don't think that they will
play a very significant role in
the very immediate future"
The United States is ahead
Of the Soviet Union in the de-
velopment Of nuclear power, he
reported. in discussing his re-
cent visit to Russia.
"The Russian program Is
much like ours but not as
broad" he explained. "They
are not investigating as large
a number Of approaches and
they don't at this time have
as much power on the grid as
the United States does"

STAFF COLLEGE FORE
RUNNER-A Federal staff col
lege-a dream Of the Civil Serv-
Ice Commission for q number
of years-now appears a def
mite reality within the next few
years.
Based on the concept Of the
military staff colleges, the Fed
eral staff college would be at
tended by Government career
officials in the upper.middle
and super-graded jobs. The
college would offer courses and
training designed to advance
them in their careers and make
them more valuable to the Gov
eminent.
AS the first move in this
direction, the csc will set UP
three executive seminar centers
which will offer an Institutional
series Of training programs for
Federal career executives in
grades IA and is.
The first center will be To-
Gated at the United States Mer-
chant Marine Academy, Kings
Point, N. Y. The courses will
get under way in october. Then
during the next year, the csc
will establish two other execu-
tive seminar centers-one in
the Midwest and one on the
West Coast.
Each seminar center will Offer
10 two-week seminars. Each
seminar would have SO partici.
pants. The participants coulc
take one two-week course or
subjects closest to their work
or they could take more thar
one two-week course on othei
subjects. The courses involve
administrative, management
domestic and foreign and ma.
tional security matters.
Federal agencies would con.
tribute to the financing of the
program in a revolving fund
with expenses shared by the
agencies in proportion to theii
participation. The cost OF 9
two-week seminar would BIZ
1870 per participant.
