Prize to Company Plan Is Rejected
Washington reports Chairman Mead of the senate war investigating committee called the Batavia Metal Products award indefensible after testimony that Rep May pressed officials for a possible grant. Pettit testified speed and pressure influenced the award, noting May’s intervention and alleging a political expedient motive. The transcript showed May discussing a friend of his and a back cutback on Batavia’s shell order, while May denied profiteering. In New York, Soviet Russia reportedly opposed Australia’s bid for autonomous atomic energy control, arguing control should stay under the UN Security Council, with Evatt planning to push for a multi-subcommittee framework to develop a global control system.
