SECRET WAR STUFFS PURCHASE PROPOSED Secretary Good Presents Draft of Bill to Chairman of House Committee. By the Associated Press. Authority for secret purchases of ma- terial for military and naval uses is proposed in a draft of a bill submitted by Secretary Good to Acting Chairman James of the House military committee. The measure to be introduced by James would authorize the President to class as secret certain material, appa- ratus of equipment which, in his dis- cretion, is such that the interests of public service would be injured by pub- licly divulging information concerning them. It would “authorize the pur- chase and award of contracts for the development, manufacture or procure- ment thereof without public advertise- ment for bids or notice to the trade.” A provision stipulates, however, that the contracts shall not be awarded ex- cept where it is impracticable to de- velop and manufacture the material in Government_establishments. The deci- sion of the President as to what mate- rial shall be classed as secret would be final. ‘The draft of the bill, Secretary Good advised Mr. James, had been approved by the Navy and War Departments. He added that the “necessity for legisla- tion of this character has long been felt in both departments.” e SN WANTS 400 AIR CADETS. ‘War Secretary Asks for Larger Class for Air Corps.
