Congress to Probe Small Businesses in Defense Work
Congress plans an inquiry led by Rep. Celler into whether small businesses are being bypassed in defense contracting. He cites committee bias toward large firms, unpaid members acting as sales agents for big companies, and reduced small business shares of military orders from 23.8% in early 1950 to 16.6% by January. The probe will examine oligopolies and defense orders tied to aluminum, copper, tin, and newsprint sectors.
