Evidence is in the record
Of the Mcclellan subcommit-
tee that a Pentagon evalua-
ton board rated the General
Dynamics plane inferior TO
the Boeing plane In most re-
spects. On the basis Of cost
and performance. Boeing was
picked at every important
level below the Secretary Of
Defense.
Yet Mr.. Mcnamara decided
TO override the admirals and
generals below him and award
the contract TO General Dy-
namics. He did so on the
basis Of his technical knowl-
edge Of large industrial oper-
atoms which led him to think
that the Boeing estimates
were unrealistic.
The evidence taken by the
Mcclellan subcommittee was
not from officials Of the COM
panies pushing their rival
claims to the huge contract.
This evidence came from the
military technical experts
who devote their careers TO
these specific problems.
Behind this controversy
are questions which every
one In these circles talks
about privately. but few
publicly. What were all the
influences bearing on Mr..
McNamara's decision2 Was

RICHARD WILSON

Secretary Of Defense Rob-
ert Strange Mcnamara. in
one decision. has authorized
q single military project
which exceeds the cost Of
the entire Federal govern
ment In the crisis-laden first
year Of the New Deal.
Mr.. Mcnamara has
awarded to General Dy-
namics Corp. contracts for
construction OF what is
called Tx. a supersonic
tactical aircraft for use by
all military services.
The full amount Of this
contract Is at least $685.
100000 - SIS billion. II is
so large that, according to
testimony before a congress
sional committee. q SIT mil
lion mistake in the estimates
has not yet been run down.
Franklin d. Roosevelt, the
big spender Of his time,
could not spend as much as
this single contract in 1898
on all the operations Of the
Federal Government. When
Roosevelt got the New Deal
fully tuned UP total annual
Government expenditures
were little more than this
gargantuan single military
project Of 1868.
Such is the incredible au-
thority exercised now by the
former president Of the Ford
Motor Co., who is Secretary
Of Defense. His action was
not alone a military decision.
It is to have extensive eco
nomic effects; its impact
will be as great as or greater
than any New Deal program
ever conceived to combat
the great depression Of the
l93Os.
Now it can be seen what
Dwight Eisenhower had in
mind when, upon leaving the
presidency, he said: /.
We must guard against the
acquisition Of unwarranted
influence, whether sought or
unsought, by the military
industrial complex. The po-
tential for the disastrous
rise Of misplaced power ex-
lists and viii persist. We
must never let the weight
Of this combination endanger
our liberties or democratic
processes"
The Tx contract involves
precise aspects Of the ques-
ton raised by former Presi-
dent Eisenhower. And that
is whether or not the Secre-
tary Of Defense has used his
authority wisely and impair
tally. Mr.. McNamara's judy
ment has been called to ac-
count. According to the rec
ord made before the McClel-
Ian subcommittee Of the Sem
ate, General Dynamics Corp.
was awarded the contract,
though It submitted q bid
500 million higher than that
Of the Boeing Co.. aircraft
manufacturers.

Change in the Cabinet Imminent

the men he would choose to
be his cabinet associates, and
few Presidents in history have
been so generally content
with the choices they did
make. In this case, they were
made intuitively by President
Kennedy.
Several Of those he ap-
pointed he hardly knew, be-
cause Of his youth, at all.
Others he knew in only the
slightest way. And those he
knew the least were, as It
happened. those who would
hold the biggest and most
difficult jobs Dean Rusk as
Secretary Of State, Robert
Mcnamara as Secretary Of
Defense and Douglas Dillon
as Secretary Of the Treasury.
These are all "non-politi-
Gals" Two, Mr.. McNamara
and MIR. Dillon, are, In fact,
Of Republican background.
All three are highly satisfac-
tory to the President, per-
haps because they leave the
politicking to him and have
no fire In the belly for ideo-
logical causes.
They Just do their Jobs,
and though very different in
many ways, they are remark
ably alike In some major
qualities. All three are quiet
men, steady in the clutches,
brief in speaking and tough
in action where need be.
There isn't a dimes worth Of
two-bit partisanship in all
three Of them put together
and this, at any rate, Is q
cheering thought in the kind
Of world In which we live.

Highway Dept. Sets
Up Relocation Plan

TO establish committee of
three members to be known as
the Public Relocation Commit
ee, which group would name a
chairman who could be con-
tacted by the Relocation Coun-
selor.
This committee will maintain
and provide a current listing of
available sale and rental pro-
perties and will meet for con-
sultation with the Relocation
Counselor.
Mr.. Miller explained that
under this plan the State High
way Department will be re-
moving itself from interfering
with the orderly procedure of
private enterprise and the
owners and tenants will be gain
ing in expert advise and assist
ance and at the same time the
Highway Department would
be relieved of the responsib-
ility Of maintaining listings of
available sale and rental pro-
perties which are subjects of
instant and rapid change.
Because of Bureau of Public
Roads participates in the pay
ment of right-of-way costs on
Federal aid projects, their ap-
proval is necessary before this
plan can be placed in operation,
added Mr.. Miller.

A system of providing re-
location assistance to persons,
or concerns, whose homes, or
places of business is required
for right-of-way purpose, has
been devised by the State High
way Department and has been
submitted to the Bureau of
Public Roads for approval.
William ]. Miller, Jr., Dir
ector of Operations for the
Highway Department, said the
plan was prepared incompli- i
ance with the terms of federal
regulations enacted by Con-
gress in 1862, requiring this
action on the part of the state.
MIR. Miller said the operation
of the relocation service would
be coordinated with local real
estate boards and information
concerning the service would
be made available to the per :
sons effected by right-of-way
procedures at all public hear
ings on highway improve
ments.
According to law, an an
nounced by MIR. Miller, a Re-
location Counselor would be
placed in each Right-of-Way
office maintained by the De-
partment. This person would
receive requests from owners,
or tenants for assistance, de-
termine the type of assistance
required and determine the
price range of the owners, or
tenants, requirements.
The Counselor would then ar
range for joint meetings be-
tween owners, or tenants, with
representatives of the proper
agencies, including social and
welfare, civic improvement,
public loans, business assist
ance, real estate and any other
involved group.
