Contracts U.S. Reports Over Vi Of Korean War Work Done By Minority; Hughes, Douglas Listed WASHINGTON, May 23 IS) The defense department reported today 19 firms, most of them in aviation, received more than one-half of the nation's military business in the 18 months after the Korean war. A new list of defense suppliers, compiled by the Pentagon at the City Water Department Is Praised But Report Suggests Several Changes Tucson's water department yesterday was termed in a report "a well-operated utility which is anead of others in certain respects." The report, however, recommends several changes to improve the department. "Phil J. Martin superintendent of the department, said he agrees with some of the recommendations including a few already taken care of and does rot agree with others.

The report, made by Booz, Allen and Hamilton, management consultants, is an organizational turvey of the water utility ordered by the city council in January at a cost of $3,500. A meter redisricting survey, ordered at the same time, is to be completed in the near future, according to City Mgr. J. Luther Davis. 3 Sections Of Forest Closed Action Taken Due To Fire Hazards The U.

S. Forest service jester-day closed a three-section area atop Mt. Lemmon to all forms of public use because of the fire hazard created by sightseers near the radar site, now under construction. William H. Woods supervisor of Coronado National forest, which includes the Mt.

Lemmon area, said that the closed area extends from the skiing area west along the new road to the catonment for the radar site. The contractors, through the army corps of engineers, are required by the forest service to keep a fire warden on duty at all times, according to Woods, who stressed that the area is tinder dry. The supervisor said that he is now waiting for clearance from the Albuquerque regional office to close the remainder of this Santa Catalina recreational area to fires and smoking, except in authorized areas. Those who violate this closed order will be subject to a federal fine of $500 or imprisonment of one year or both, Woods said. 2 Protest Sunnyside Bond Vote Lack Of School Site Prompts Complaint Charges of misrepresentation in the Sunnyside school district bond election were made yesterday to the county board of supervisors when the vote was canvassed.

John Gallagher and Jay Collins, of the school district, pio-tested. Without specifying grounds for the charges. Gallagher mentioned misrepresentation and possible illegalities and Collins said there was misrepresentation and that he also believed fraud could be shown in the original calL The $541,000 bond Issue, for new high school, was approved 355 to 62 with two ballots rejected, the official canvass showed. Collins later said that the question of a site for the new high, school prompted the protests. He said the protest centered on selecting a site in the eastern part of the district, rather than on conduct of the election itself.

The supervisors were advised by their attorney to proceed with the canvass. Yesterday afternoon, Mrs Hul- da Schuch, principal at Sunnyside, said the site question is still not settled, but she declared that there were several discussions of the site at public meet ings preceding the election. She said the school board was authorized in 1951 to acquire a site and since has nurchased 55 Vv jh fT ni i not give a specific amount of such new orders or cancellations. The new report shows at least half of the 16 billion dollars in military orders involved aircraft, airplane engines and related equipment. All of the first ten names on the new list of major military suppliers are companies sole or primary business is making airplanes or the equipment that goes into them.

The first ten, in order cf dollar value of m'litary business follow: United Aircraft corporatidn, Douglas Aircraft company, S1.041,S00,OO0; North American A.viation, S91 Boeing Airplane company, Lockheed Aircraft company, General Dvn-amies corporation, Grumman Aircraft Engineering corporation, Curtks-Wright corporation, Republic Aviation corporation, and the Hughes Tool company. $313,300,000. Although General Motors was listed as losing $38,900,000 more military business than it received in the 18 months ending last December, the giant corporation still ranked first among the military suppliers in total value of con request of house and senate com mittees, dropped from the big ten, even from the first 100 military contractors, such giants of industry as General Motors, Chrysler. Du Pont and Westinghouse These corporations were rated respectively nos. 1, 6, 14 and 26 on the last such compilation which covered the three year period of the 1950-53 Korean War.

The department said in an accompanying statement General Motors and several other big corporations were undoubtedly still among the largest suppliers of military equipment. But they lost, through cancellations and cutbacks, or wound up more military business than they received for the 18 months ending last Dec. 31, the period covered by the new report. The Pentagon said information about unfilled orders for General Motors and other large corporations which were omitted from the new list of major military suppliers were not available. Cumulative defense orders for the Korean war period ending in June, 1953, totalled 98 billion dollars.

The new list covering the 18 months thereafter, totaled 16 billion dollars. It was expressed in terms of net value of contracts, that is, the volume of military business which each of the major suppliers got in the way of new orders after cancellations and completions had been subtracted. The new report, however, dealt only in totals and did Winners Of Freeman Medals Harold McNair, Miami, and Margaret Reeve, Es-condido, hold the Freeman Medals, awarded to them this year by the university administration on the basis of scholarship, character and qualities of leadership.

Harold Keubauer, chief civil deputy county attorney, gave his opinion that a change in a state law may make mandatory the inclusion of the health department budget as submitted. With other departments, the supervisors may reduce or change in other ays the budgets submitted.

Neubauer said it is possible the courts will find "some reason or some way to maintain the power of a county board of supervisors over the budget for health boards." City heads recently also commented on the apparent mandatory approval of health budgets and 'will meet with county heads June 1 to discuss the health budget and other matters. In the past, both the city and county have shared health department costs. Dr. Shotwell Seeks To Wind Up Old Task NEW YORK, May 23 UR Dr. James T.

Given Colors By Margaret BONN, Germany', May 23 LTV rrincess Margaret made a flying visit to West Germany Monday to present new colors to the Suffolk regiment.

Because of a typhoid epidemic in the Ruhr, plans for her to visit another regiment, the 3rd Hus sars, were cancelled. Bucking ham palace advisers thought it would be too dangerous for her to go through the stricken area to Iserlohn, where the Hussars are stationed. She returned to London Monday night. Radiant in forget-me-not blue, the princess acted for her sister. the queen, in giving new battle colors to the first battalion of the Suffolk regiment, of which she is colonel-in-chief.

The regiment colors 106 vears old were the oldest in the Brit ish army. They were also the last British colors to be carried in combat in the Maori war In New Zealand in 1850. Colors are no longer tarried in battle. 1 4 feet of frontage on East Broad way while going back 100 feet on North Stewart avenue. Red brick and a liberal use of glass is planned in the construction.

Max Saltzman, Russ GillmanH and George Fischer are the owners of Beacon lighting. Their building will also contain space for the Toymart and Leeoon Custom furniture company. According to Saltzman, the Beacon lighting company's new building will permit the display of some 2,000 separate lighting fixtures at one time. Each fixture will also be wired so that it may be lighted individually while on display. A total of 10,000 square feet will be available in the store for display purposes with both the main floor and basement being used for salesrooms.

An elevator will also be built. Beacon lighting company will occupy a total of 50 front feet while the Toymart's building will be 40" feet by 100 feet. Leeson's will occupy a 20 by 100 foot space. Construction on the building will start Thursday with the Murray Shiff construction company doing the job. Bernard Friedman, architect, drew the plans.

Construction is estimated to take three months. Changes recommended in the organizational survey were minor In most cases. The firm said that training of replacements for Martin, Merril Biggs, assistant superintendent, and Christopher Cooke, who supervises office personnel, is need-' ed because all may retire in two to three years. Martin disagreed on the need, stating that men in the department are prepared to step up Into the administrative jobs and have done so for brief intervals In the past. He agreed with another com ment that one man on meter repair work is adequate but said he use of two men was a tempo rary measure.

After heavy rains. It is often worth while to use two or three men on a truck be cause there will be many calls in a single block in some sections of the city, Martin said. He also said that the physical setup of the water department office does not lend itself to some of the changes in procedure sug- gested even though the changes might be desirable. The superintendent agreed with the need for a group transporta tion system and said one is being planned. As to a suggestion that a manual of operations be prepared, Martin said he does not disagree with the proposal but added that It is not needed by the people trained to take over the various upervisory jobs.

The latter suggestion was related to a comment on the need for reducing to writing the knowledge gained by the administrative heads of the various divisions of the utility which now grosses more than $1,000,000 per year. The report also called for more complete control over field teams declaring that, despite conscientious efforts, the present situation represents a "lack of control over an annual payroll expenditure of over one-quarter million dollars and an incomplete utilization of tertain personnel. Martin's comments were made ifter a brief look at the report which is being sent the city council and presumably will be dis-eussed at greater length. The management survey also tailed for preparation of information on main replacements and repairs and cost control figures. Martin said his department now does such work in both fields.

However, said one grocery store manager, should the strike continue for longer than a week, a pinch might be felt. "I wouldn't say there would be a serious shortage," said a Goodman Market's spokesman, "but there could be a shortage in some items. Our warehouse is filled now but we have nothing coming in. The strike could affect us if it went on for a long period of time." Almost all Tucson markets' canned goods are brought to distributors by rail freight and these shipments are continuing. But the problem here is having the commodities moved from rail centers to the distributors.

Trucks moving Southern Pacific freight belong to the Pacific Motor Trucking company one of the three firms which were struck. Harlan Payne, Southern Pacific freight office, said there has been no increase in the amount of freight brought into Tucson by the Southern Pacific and that no increase is expected. "Under the circumstance," said Payne, "you would expect an increase. But unfortunately the strike has affected deliveries to our depots and to the consignees. People can come down and pick up their freightf at the yards but we have no way of getting it to them ourselves.

Accoraing to wire rej ports the striking teamsters union and management are still far apart in their demands. Howard Grant, business agent for the Tucson local, was out of town yesterday. He was report- ea in discussing the strike with other labor officials before moving on to Los Angeles where he will probably take part in further discussions. Grant represents Arizona and New Mex ico in the union. While possible food shortages were the most important Item be ing considered, other commodities in Tucson seemed plentiful and their supply assured.

i.asoitn, one oi the major items- brought into the city by truck, will continue to be plenti-ful, said one oil company spokesman, because most companies operate Iheir own truck fleets. So far, in the strike, no picket lines have been established in Tucson. Should picket lines de velop, said one railroad worker, it would probably mean the end of almost all freight shipments for the duration of the strike.
