National defense saving claims questioned by House committee
A House committee sharply challenged the Defense Department claims of multibillion dollar savings under its cost reduction plan. Auditors found only 429.3 million of 1.3 billion in 43 cases valid, including a questioned 51.8 million saving from modifying 176 Marine Corps tanks instead of buying new ones. Harold H. Rubin testified the Marines had no intention of buying new tanks, so the saving was not valid.
