Blast Wilson Critics Fire at Defense and Business Ties
A House committee report blasts Defense Secretary Charles E Wilson and business leaders in government over violations of a congressional order to create an integrated military supply system. It accuses Wilson Navy Secretary Charles S Thomas and Asst Defense Secretary Thomas P Pike of contributing to uncoordinated defense administration. The Hoover Commission is also faulted for inconsistent statements and failing to align its own basic-force efforts. The full committee has not signed off, with Republicans saying they lack time to review the document. The report grows from Hoover Commission hearings last May into charges of military waste.
