Predicts Senate Will Show
“Great Waste” In
Aircraft Procurement
WASHINGTON, Iff)—Sen. Duff
<R-Pa) predicted Tuesday a new
Senate investigation into aircraft
procurement “will prove definite
ly that there has been great
waste.”
Duff’s statement came as a Sen
ate Armed Services subcommittee
opened public hearings on the
award of an Air Force contract
for production of C-119 cargo
planes known as “Flying Box
cars.” The contract went to' the
Kaiser - Frazer Corporation, for
production in the big Willow Run
plant near Detroit.
Chairman Bridges (R-NH) said
reports by the Air Force and com
mittee investigators show that
Kaiser-Frazer was to get about
$1,200,000 for each C-119 while
Fairchild Aircraft Corporation at
Hagerstown, Md., received about
$260,000 a plane.
Similar charges regarding the
relatively high cost of the Kaiser
Frazer contract previously were
aired by a House Investigation
and Kaiser - Frazer officials in
sisted their costs were justified.
Hoover, Truman and Eisen
hower are the only U.S. Presi
dents born west of the Mississippi
River.
