In a blistering repdrt| on his audits of/some $1,165,000,000 (B) worth of contracts, Warren sain there were "improper payments in excess of $6,280,000” that "were induced by fraud.” , , Qf this. Ke added bnly about $107,882 "bps been recovered” and the outlook mr additional recovery is alim. j 1 J ' He said the general accounting office had recovered $474,717, but that government agencies which made the payments generally re fused to attempt recoveries but insist upon defending their actions. 1 Warren blamed most of the’ "waste and Ifraud” upon a "con tract resettlement act of 1944” passed by Cpngress which he said allowed ^government agencies to settle contracts in full before they had been properly audited by the general accounting office of any ether outside agency. The 1944 act, he said, "paved the way for the improper payment of many millions of dollars of public funds through fraud, jcol- lusion, ignorance, inadveftance, or overliberality in effecting termina tion settlements.” Warren said the act limits his office to actions where there is evidence fraud adding this "places the government in the un- evertiable position of locking the barn after the horse is stolen.” i i (!ol&|Stolock T« Marry September 2 Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Paidme ACftOW S.
