Douglas Aircraft Officials Defend Profit Claims at Senate Hearings
Douglas Aircraft spokesman in Santa Monica tells The Independent the company fully stated its position two years ago during a Senate subcommittee probe. He says the company rejects findings, argues subcontractor performance matters, and notes a $3,300 profit on plastic dust covers for a missile component as not indicative of the whole program. Consid W. Douglas Jr testified as a witness, asserting the firm sought satisfactory subcontractor work and fairness in evaluating the entire program.
