However, the defense secretary ended his statement with this jab; 'I personally deplore public statements that are based on mis understanding or misrepresenta tion of the iucts when they affect j the essential defense of our coun try, which should be above and be-: yoi.d partisan politics." . Jackson had said that before the Eisenhower administration took over, other automobile producers icceived more contracts than did General Motors. He also contend ed the pattern of defense conirac; awards in the auto Industry had been reversed so drastically- it must reflect what he called "a hettled procurement policy of the Defense Department unaer Secre tary Wilson." . In reply, Wilson said his office merely followed through on con tract commitments made when the Truman administration was in power. Wilson said further that policies dealing with the spread ing of contracts among sjnoll am' big business firms have not been changed. The defense chief said the mil itary program has been '"brought into balance, especially during the last 12 months." What has been done. Wilson claimed, has been the tightening of procedures and requirements "in the interest of stopping loose spending and getting more defense for the doilurs spent." Jackson had said General Mo tors defense contracts boomed bv S1.70C.000.000 during the first year and a half of the Elsenhower ad ministration. At the same time, he said, new defense contracts re ceived by all other auto makers combined dropped by 395 million dollars.

One of the heads, where the tail should be, is just camouflage, however.
