War Profits Probe Seeks May Patterson Connection
Senate War Investigating Committee plans to quiz Secretary of War Patterson on whether Rep May pressured for war contracts tied to a big profits munitions combine. Testimony notes Patterson twice backed the group in 1944 while May, chairman of the House Military Committee, claimed actions were wartime expediency. A 1944 War Department memo mentions May and Patterson relating to an eight inch shell contract, with Patterson later denying links as he was Undersecretary. The probe expands into 19 firms securing over 78 million in contracts.
