Moorhead, Pittsburgh em a said today. Moorhead, after revealing the stock sales by officials of the company building the huge cargo plane, asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate whether federal law was violated by the transactions. The investigation, Moorhead, said, should determine whether the slock was sold on the basis of inside company information which was not available to the public. Running Battle Moorhcad's call to the SEC was the latest step in his running battle with the Pentagon over the controversial aircraft. As a member of the House Government Operations committee, Moorhead has charged the Air Force with concealing more than a billion dollars in extra cosls on the aircraft contract.

According to Moorhead, the Lockheed officials sold their stock when it was worth more than twice the current market price. The stock sales came in two periods when aircraft production had encountered severe problems. The first was in late 1965 and early 1066, when five top officers sold some 9,071 shares they held worth an estimated $612,496. Dipped to $50 A second wave of selling came a year later. Eight officials sold 9,238 shares worth $384,673.

The slock was worth about $64 during the first sell-off, and had dipped to $69 during the second transaction period. It currently is selling for about $24. Moorhead said these sales came when technical problems cropped up, causing large increases in cost of the aircraft which were kept secret. The second selling wave was shortly before the Air Force privately told the company to solve technical problems or face cancellation of the contract. Officials in the sales live near Lockheed plants in Marietta, Sunnyvale, Bur-bank and Rcdlands, Moorhead said.

The congressman indicated the information on the sales was gathered by his staff aides from secret information' reports.
