defendants of using "schemes,
tricks and devices to avoid meet
ing and complying with navy
specifications.

ander M. Campbell said It was
Impossible to estimate the
amount of defective equipment
actually delivered. He pointed
out, however, that in the 18
month period between Jan. 1,
1943, and May 15, 1044. the
plant sold $14,069,796 worth of
war materia) to the navy.
The indictment against the

merits against various company
officials were returned late yes
terday before Federal Judge

faulty 6, 8, 14 and 16-inch shells
were sent past naval Inspectors
after workmen had blocked
over-sized treads so that inspect
ors would fail to detect the
error.
