Navy probes concede little progress in B-36 memo case
Washington AP Navy investigators conceded little headway in locating additional people tied to the B-36 memo alleging fraud in the Air Force bomber program. Dan A Kimball and two admirals offered differing accounts on whether the Office of Naval Intelligence was asked to identify its author. Cedric Worth, a civilian aide, emerged as the memo’s likely author, with ex Naval examiner Sanford Wood saying no new leads were found. Lt Samuel Ingram and Glenn L Martin were among figures yet to be questioned, while Worth testified some information came from Ingram but not as memo authorship. The House Armed Services Committee had earlier cleared those named, though Worth admitted authorship.
