WASHINGTON. — Government war contracts involving hundreds of millions of dollars are rendered of doubtful status today by a decision of Comptroller Warwick of the treasury, that orders had not been legally executed unless actually signed by a responsible government contracting agent Sind, the contractor.

Such cases the comptroller held it will be necessary to permit the framing of agreements for cancellation.
