WASHINGTON - A lot of the government officials involy- ed are walking around these days shaking their heads sadly over the prospective fate of the Surplus Property Board.
 They have been reading the Surplus War Property Disposal Act and the conclusion can be only that SPB has got two strikes on 1t to start with and a tricky knuckle ball coming over the plate.
 In the first place, Congress hasn't passed a war or postwar measure yet on which 1t SO defi- nitely has held the reins. This can mean only delays, while politics and special interests battle if o,,N in committees and on the floor of both chambers. @4..
 TOT example, SPB has only 90 days after it is set up to make complete report to Congress on these surplus items not includ- ing plants costing less than s5.- 900, ,000):
 CD Aluminium plants and fa- cilities,
 @ Magnesium plants,
 tO Synthetic rubber plants,
 Q Chemical plants,
 t5) Aviation gasoline plants,
 t6) Iron and steel plants,
 CD Oil pipe lines,
 (8) Patents processes. techni- ques and inventions.
 60 Aircraft and aircraft parts plants,
 dO Shipyards.
 CID Transportation facilities and
 CPD Radio and electrical eouip- ment.
 Descriptions, costs, plans of disposition and an outline of eco- homie problems involved in the disposition also have to be filed.
 ;.
 In addition to that, the SPB has to file it's first progress re- port" within three months after it is set up and in January, April. July and October of each year thereafter. The reports are to be on the exercise of its authority and discretion under this act. the status of surplus property dis position, and such other pertinent information on the administra- tion of this act as will enable Congress to evaluate its admin istration and the need for amend ments and related legislation.
 Further, the SPB can't dispose of any plants or surplus property costing the government more

COLLIER SPEAKS
AT KIWANIS CLUB

Paul Collier, instructor in the
Hardin schools, provided the
program for the Kiwanis club
at their regular Wednesday lun-
cheon meeting held at the
Chuck Wagon cafe.
Mr.. Collier contrasted methods
of education as experienced N
his own school life with those
of the present day, including
the G. I. (government) system.
Early education, he stated,
was gained mainly out of text
books in which there was little
or no use of pictures made. To-
day he stated, much is learned
by the use of pictures, and he
demonstrated this by showing
a slide picture entitled Men
and Wings" The picture dealt
with the history of aviation.
Pictures, he said, have be-
come one of the most effective
mediums of education, espec-
tally the slide film type which
allows specific pictures to be
stopped for study or even turn
ed back for reference.
Mr.. Collier stated that al
though the G. I. system was
very effective it eliminated all
but the most apt students and
upon the basis of $4,000 spent
for training one pilot in 10 mon
tbs, the cost was prohibitive at
any time except in an emery
ency.
