Cost Plus Profit System Defended in Senate Inquiry
Brig Gen Littell and aides defended the cost plus profit method used for national army cantonments, asserting it saved money and limited contractor fees while speeding camp completion.

In Pittsburgh, Yommy Gibbons defeated Clay Turner in ten rounds, dominating and knocking Turner to the mat twice, with both showing battle-scarred after action.
