Do Former High Brass Up Costs? WASHINGTON (UPI) - A Nebraska congressman lashed out today at retired admirals and generals who take lucrative jobs with defense industries. Rep. Larry Brock (D-Neb.) said it was “ridiculous” to think that they did not “pressure their former buddy officers in the Pentagon” on defense contracts. Brock, in a statement commenting on an investigation by a House armed services subcommittee, charged that “this type of influential representation is a prime factor in upping the ultimate costs of defense production.’ It used to be, he said, that military men retired to a “quiet life of living on their pensions" but not so anymore. “General (Douglas) MacArthur’s classic remark after returning from Korea—‘old soldiers never die...they just fade away’ —now seems out of place,” Brock declared. “In fact, the general himself, did not exactly fade away but landed in a six-figure job with the Sperry Rand Corp. This example has been followed by too many of the retired brass and braid.” MacArthur is now reported to make $68,600 a year as board chairman of Sperry Rand in addition to his military pay as a fivestar general. Brock said “many of the more recent generation of generals and admirals don’t even wait for the usual retirement but light out for the nearest defense establishment offering the most lucrative offer as soon as they have established a military reputation.” Meanwhile, he said, ‘"nie small manufacturer is weeded out of competition by his inability to finance such expensive and influential representation at the Pentagon.” The subcommittee Tuesday heard columnist Drew Pearson testify that the General Electric Company’s “inside influence” in the Pentagon was a big reason for U.S. failure to beat Russia into the sky with an earth satellite. Pearson said Dr. Richard Porter, a GE engineering consultant, had wielded “considerable influence" in getting the late Donald Quarles, then Air Force research chief, to decide in favor of GE rocket launching engine which was "never able to get off the ground.” Porter was once chief of the GE missile project at the Army’s White Sane*. N.M., proving ground and bead ot the satellite panel of the National Science Foundation. In New York, Porter said Pearson’s testimony, as reported to him, was “basically inaccurate and highly misleading.” He said he would “welcome an opportunity to appear before the committee and set the record straight.” Van Wert Man Killed In One-Car Wreck A Van Wert man was killed early Tuesday morning when his auto went out of control on wet pavement east of Van Wert on U. S. 30. Dale Keirns, 23, 121 East Crawford street. Van Wert, was Van Wert county’s fourth traffic fatality this year, fatally injured in the one-car crash about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.
