into the two ex-convicts

who parlayed $1200 into more than $3,214,000 in defense . contracts.

Three congressional groups took| potshots at the military's buying] policies—a House Executive Ex-| penditures Subcommittee, the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Procurement and the Senate Small Business Committee.

Scores System

But Chairman F. Edward Hebert (D. La.) of the Armed ServSubcommittee leveled the biggest charge. He scored the ment system for a “haphazard, naive and negligent” investigation of the Elvair Corp. of Jackson and Natchez, Miss. He said the firm got four fat canvas goods contracts without money, plant or experience. He conceded the firm did not break any laws, however. The report said one of the company’s directors was B. A. Totten, of Jackson, who once served a term in the Federal Penitentiary at El Reno, Okla., for maii fraud. | The report said Elvair Sales Manager B. T. Jayne, Ponca City, Okla., met Totten while-he, too, was in jail at El Reno.

The subcommittee said that Elvair, organized last Sept. 25, told procurement officers in a 22-page brochure that the George S. May Co., Chicago business engineers, had been hired to ‘revamp our administrative procedures and plant layout.” The brochure did not describe how Mr. May revamped the layout of the non-existent plant, the report said. or tell what administrative procedures had to be revamped in a newly formed company... The report noted that Mr. May, promoter of the annual Tam Golf Tournament in Chicago, was a witness before the Senate Crime Committee and recently was fined in Chicago for failing to produce records for a grand jury investigating gambling :

Oh, Clementine, When Didst Thou Blow Thy Stack?

LOS ALAMOS, N. M,, June 21] (UP)—The Atomic Energy Com-/|

mission disclosed today how “Clementine,” the only known nuclear reactor that uses plu-

tonium for fuel and liquid metal for cooling, got its name. The AEC said the atomic pile or “furnace” first was called] Clementine when a scientist who| had helped with the plans left] Los Alamos, and sent a message | asking how the construction work | was going. . The project was top secret, and| he could not mention the reactor, so he sent this telegram: “In a cavern, in a canyon, explorating must be fine. “Since you're the miners 49-ers, tell me how is Clementine.” As the reactor was being built] in a canyon and 49 was the code| namé for plutonium, the reactor crew had.no trouble translating the query, and the name stuck. |
