Government Moral Code Is Studied
Comptroller General Lindsay C. Warren told a Senate subcommittee that there has been an undoubted weakening of moral standards in government and outside it. He urged Congress to share blame and supported creating a commission of distinguished citizens to reform ethics in government, including Congress. He praised the honesty of most federal workers but warned that a few rotten apples spoil the barrel. He cited World War II as showing shockingly low moral standards among those tied to war contracts.
