Many auto firms cannot bid for army contracts
Washington June 25 UP Firms employing lobbyists or special representatives have been barred from bidding on army contracts, quartermaster Gen Louis H Bash testified before the House Military Affairs Investigating Committee. The regulation was ordered by Assistant Secretary of War Harry H Woodring. Bash said the District of Columbia grand jury heating into army contracts had yielded no indictments. Chrysler Corp and Fargo Motor Corp are barred from bidding. Chevrolet alone can sell light trucks. Bash, first witness, explained the new bidding certificates require bidders and manufacturers to declare they employ no agents on a contingent fee. He argued the rule may leave Chevrolet as the sole bidder for light trucks, though he saw no injustice if bids are clean. The regulation, plus NRA code compliance, was sent to the comptroller general for final decision. The True Motor Co protested the certificates for Chrysler products.
