Armed Forces deny tales of coffee waste and oyster forks
Washington February 7. Armed forces spokesmen called untrue reports that the Air Force used 200 pounds of coffee as floor sweeping compound and that the Navy possessed a surplus of one million dozen oyster forks. Secretary Finletter told a Senate subcommittee that an Carswell Air Base inquiry found no evidence of wasteful coffee use. Vice Admiral Fox said the Navy bought 16,000 dozen oyster forks in 1943 for officers messes and defended savings through stock inventories.
