Manna Defense Contract Said Above Average Washington-IIOT-Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) said today defense costs would have soared by $10.7 billion last year if defense contractors had been allowed the rate of profit enjoyed by George M. Humphrey's mining companies under government nickel con tracts. Symington made the state ment during questioning ot Gilbert W. Humphrey, board chairman of the M. A. Hanna Co., Cleveland. Ohio. He is the son of George Humphrey, former treasury secretary and honorary chairman of the company. Profits Claimed Fair The younger Humphrey in sisted Hanna's profits on nick el sales to the national stra tegic stockpile were fair and reasonable. He told Symington's Senate stockpile investigators that urgings of the government for Hanna interests to mine and smelt nickel on a crash basis during the Korean War prompted him and his father to insist on a virtually risk less contract. Gilbert Humphrey said this included an insistence on a $6 per ton price for nickel ore without renegotiation if prof its proved excessive. Humphrey acknowle d g e d that the $6 price was offered on a "take it or leave it basis. But he said the price was the lowest for any nickel procured under the Defense Production Act. Symington challenged this. He said only two of at least 20 nickel purchase contracts called for a price higher than Hanna's. Depletion Allowances Sen. Prescott Bush' (H-Conn.) took the younger Humphrey's side. He said Symington's comparison of Hanna's profits with earnings in manufactur ing industries was like com paring orchid growing with raising spinach. Symington replied that tax laws took into account the dif STATE REPRESENTATIVE Outstanding Frtihmin Legislator 1961 Seilion Pd. Pol. Adv. S. V.

Symington placed Hanna's eight year stockpile earnings at 135 per cent of costs and 47 per cent of sales before taxes. If defense contractors enjoyed such profits last year, he said, defense outlays would have been $10.7 billion higher. Hanna company lawyers, meantime, agreed to submit certain of George Humphrey's personal tax returns to Sym ington's investigators. Drug Control Bill Signed by Kennedy Washington -(ITU- President Kennedy today signed into law a bill to tighten govern ment control over drugs. Among those who watched the signing was Dr. Frances Kcl sey. Dr. Kelscy, a Food and Drug Administration scientist, indirectly played a major role in congressional passage of the legislation because of her suspicions about the effects of the drug thalidomide. She refused to clear the drug, thus helping to keep it off the market in this country. This averted a possible repe tition Here of thousands of de formities which swept Europe among women who took the drug during early pregnancy. Following the thalidomide scare, Congress resurrected previously discarded provi sions of the administration drug control bill. Committee Votes Berlin Resolution Washington-IUPD-The Senate Foreign Relations Committee today unanimously approved a House-passed resolution voicing congressional support for whatever steps President Kennedy may take to protect U.S. rights in Berlin. The proposal now goes to the Senate for certain final approval. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said it would be brought up later today or Thursday. The Senate committee ap proved a proposal sponsored jointly by Sens. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.), and Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.), after changing one word to make it conform with the House resolution. Otherwise, the resolution would have had to go to a Joint Senate-House confer ence committee to work out the differences.

David C. Guilbert, Spokane, Wash., said that at the present rate of completion - about 4 IS miles a day - the system will not be finished until 1981, about 8 or 9 years later than scheduled. "The 1972 or 1973 comple tion schedule requires that this rate of completion be stepped up to about 72 miles per day - close to double the existing rate," he said. Guilbert said two reasons for the lag were difficulties encountered in building free ways in urban areas and the fact that some states do not have sufficient highway funds to match the federal grants.
