Tank Contract
Probe Asked
WASHINGTON Ut Sen. Ke-
fauver (D-Tenn) said he will ask
Pentagon officials today to explain
what he regards as "a dangerous
policy of concentrating defense con
tracts in a -single producer." -At
his request. Chairman Saitoh-
stall (R-Mass) called the Senate
Armed Services Committee for a
public inquiry into a 200-mlllion-dollar
contract for Army tanks with
a General Motors subsidiary,
Pisher Body Corp.
"This appears to be a dangerous
departure from the principle of
maintaining a very broad defense
production base," Kefauver said in
an interview, adding that destruc
tion of a single plant could halt
air production.
Fisher Body and the Chrysler
Corp, were the only' bidders- on
tne contract. , ,
' Kefauver ' concedes that the
Fisher Body bid was lower than
Chrysler's but . questions whether

Women Gain
In Survey
An all-time high of 303 women
are members of tne 1954 state
legislatures, according to a recent
survey made by Miss Bertha Ad
kins, assistant to the chairman
of the Republican 'National Com
mittee.
More than two-thirds of the '54
women state legislators are Re
publicans, .the survey disclosed.
There are 11 Republicans and
Democrats each, in the Senate,
1S4 Republicans and 84 Democrats
in the House, one Independent in
the House and two without party
designation in that body.
This outstanding record of wo
men legislators. Miss Adkins said,
indicates the increasing p u o i i c
recognition of women's Influence
and contribution in public office
It Is imDortant too. that more and
more women are serving in state
legislatures where significant ed
ucational, social welfare and budge
tary decisions related to local com
munities are lormuiaiea.
The 1064 total represents a gain
of 14 over the early, 1063 figure.
As a result of the IBS! elections,
2io women were listed as siaie
legislators. The subsequent gains
were made in the 1953 regular
and special elections ana tne va
cancy appointments.
By virtue of the 1953 election
of a woman legislator in Virginia,
women are now serving in au oui
three states. These states are Ala
bama, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
In 19, when women first began
going Into political positions, the
number of women legislators was
20. . -
These figures have been com
piled by the Women's Division
of the Republican National Com
mittee for its over-air annual Issue
of "Women In Public Service."
