WEEKS SUGGESTS COMMUNITIES TAKE OVER OBSOLETE FORTS (Special to The Bulletinl

Washington, Oct 24-Secretary of War Weeks said to The Bulletin corre- spondent tonight in reply to specific Griswold nor any reservation, fort or military post can be sold by the govern ment except by direct authorization of congress. My recommendation to the congress was that all such property as had become useless for military purposes should be disposed of and the govern ment relieved of it's care and upkeep There has been no suggestion made by me that such property should be sold at public auction or to the highest bidder {; in fact. I have stated that it should be made available to communities especially interested. I have in mind certain cases in the past where such property has been given to communities, and I have no doubt some of the reservations now to be abandoned for military purposes can be obtained by communities interested. My duty is merely to protect the government from holding at an expense land Or other property for which it has no immediate use or for which no such use seems like 1y to materialize In such instances I think the government should call the at tention of congress to the fact and then let congress dispose of such holdings in some proper and suitable manner But I want to repeat that I favor communities
 interested being given suitable oppor- tunity to become possessed of the reser- vations if they so desire, and I have in no instance suggested forced or public auction sale"
