Former officers' jobs stink at Litton Industries
Algona's Upper Des Moines notes a former assistant secretary of defense for procurement became Litton vice president of the defense contractor, overseeing $45 billion yearly military outlays.

Senator Proxmire cites 2,072 retired officers among 100 major contractors, including 49 at Litton, calling the system a taxpayer‑subsidized racket and a source of public disillusionment.
