WHlkief tor corruption in government, ’ The son of the 1940 presidential riomiitee traced feder| al agency scandals to congresfj tor granting absolute powers anrf .tailing to repeal them when they •<re needed no longer. He als<| blamed low salaries. t Willkie was chief counsel for 4 senate sub-committee on morals •nd ethics in gbvernttient lass year. ' ' , ' t "The drisisjfor this corruptiodl is the very character of the klncf of government we have,” Wlllkitj -aid in ah interview. "In the dcol numic field we have relatively! anonymous administrators. They have arbitrary posters, in eases almost absolute powers, I, ini ■elving millions of dollars in prof perty rights. 1 ‘‘The administrators are moStiy men with low salaries whose ohij| opportunity for economic advances merit lies through do<j>rs opened, bj the interests over whom it is thei| duty to make arbitrary decisions} "Such; a situation is built sot biibery.” , ' f Willkie said the same situation exists in cotuts but that judgeij have traditions toi uphold and a judicial toga which "for the most part rejnovjs them from the pressures Os party politics and jth|| market place.f “On the other hahd,” he sai<|. ‘government administrators ii ..... * LLII '■ L.ll

Pentagon Shocked By Zooming Costs War Weapons Now Much More Costly . Washington, Feb. 13—(UP)—' ’When the Pentagon Itself is shocked by the zooming cost of weapons of war it is time ft>r the taxpayer to have a iqok at some comparative figures. r . For example, take the fighter airplane of Wbfld War II and the fighter airplane of Cold War I, now in progress. Pentagon officials concede that theso comparisons are shockers. The Cold\ War I fighter costs about seven times as much' as tile World " War It fighter. And that is without radar, rocket fire) control, and navigation equipment. These latter items; alone, cost about threß times as much as a World War II fighter plane ready for combat. Here ari some comparative figures on fighteß airplanes: 1941-42 1951-52 Engineering cost $ 698 $19,529 Tooling cost $2,044 $23,425 Factory labor hours $7,375 $22,713 Factory labor ’ $6,441 i 540,883 There are inany Other items, including\ thh material which goes into thi airplane. Total cost of the World War II fighter Svas $26,741 and of the Cold War 1 fighter, $179,309. Radkr, rocket fire control, and navigation equipment 'costs an additional $77,500 for the latter. . | I There\were 515 electdeal wires in a Vi’orld War 11 fighter airplane, their combined length being 1,545 sett. The modern fighter contains 5,500 wires with an aggregate length of 22,916 feet. ( Costs of other weapoqs are skyrocketing in proportion. The day of the or $100,000,000 capital ship is long gong. The navy estimates its 10 year-10 garrier pr,Or gßam will tost from $3,880,000,000 up. That takes no accbiint of further depreciation of the dollar nor of steadily increased (tost of airplanes to equip the ships. 1.
