That goldfish bow in
which the Baruch report on
postwar adjustment re COM
mended all government surplus
property be disposed Of, has not
yet been set up. Surplus War
Property Administrat or Will
Clayton has considered that 9TH
er things came first. and gold
fish bowl being fragile piece
of furniture, it is just as well
kept on a shelf till the rest OF
the house is in order.
Setting up an organization TO
handle the worlds biggest fire
sale isn't proving easy. Liqui-
dating a business has no glamor
to it-starting a business being
much more fun-and good men
are hard to get. Mr.. Clayton adj
mits frankly that he would rath-
or work without publicity, but
that in this matter of selling sur
pulls government property, the
public is entitled to know what
goes on.
Already, while the Surplus
War Property Administration is
getting organized, there have
been several instances of sales
being questioned. Congressman
John j. Cochran of ST. Louis
has disclosed how $4,000 over
age dry cell batteries were sold
by the Army for $50 to a buyer
who rcsold a part for $4,000.
Congressman Wright Patman OF
TeXarkana, Tex, has reported
that the Treasury Department
sold surplus Army chinaWare in
original packing cases. at sal
wage prices, on the same day
Il. Navy was buying 10000
pieces of the same items at ID
cents each.
S8,100,O00 LOSS-OR WAS
1T A $4,000 GAIN?
Such things naturally make
taxpayers sore, but amounts in
volved here are relatively small
change in comparison to the fig
ures in the first major deal
which crossed Administrator
Clayton's desk-sale by the
Maritime Commission for $780,
600 of 40 acres OF government
land formerly part of an 300
acre tract occupied by the San
Jacinto shipyards at Houston,
Texas, for building concrete
barges. Because the Maritime
Commission and Defense Plant
Corporation had sunk some So
100000 in the concrete barge
venture, it can be argued that
the government took an So, 100,-
600 loss. Actually, the Maritime
Commission had previously
written off most Of its $4,000
900 as war loss already in
Cured just as though the barges
had been built and sunk, and it
sold the 40 acres, which with
improvements were appraised at
S185,OO0, for 100000.
AS surplus property dispos-
al transaction, this wasn't so
bad. The government had no
further use for the property. 1t
had a Observation-Disclosures an
option on adjacent property
which it had to exercise or lose.
1t had project for using the
site for a plant to manufacture
a chemical used in cradicating
sheep worms. Department OF
Agriculture favored the devel-
opment. It would provide en-
ployment for some Of the labor
displaced by folding up the ship
yard.
Bringing out all these points
emphasizes need for the goldfish
bowl technique.

Finalists In the 1914 Washtenaw
Country Club women's champion
ship were determined over the holt
day week end, when Miss Josephine
LANCE. Ann Arbor. defeated Miss
Mary MCKEE, and Mrs. c. p. Nc
Lain, Detroit, won from Mrs. w.
Bruce Cameron in seminal
matches.
For the second consecutive year,
the same two will meet to contend
for the honor of carrying the title
outside the city, with Mrs. McLain
the 1943 defender. This will mark
the Detroit players thirteenth ap-
pearance in the finals since 1928,
eight times as winner, five times
runnerup. Miss LANCE made her
initial entry to this select spot last
year, and was medalist with Sc
in this seasons qalifying round.
Deligent practice and good coach
ing have been fruitful In producing
a brand of golf that makes her a
worthy opponent. The soundness
OF Mrs. McLain's game is evidenced
by her ability TO overcome the dis
advantage OF lack of practice due
10 work that enables play on week
ends only. An interesting fea'
ture Is the recent winning OF the
handicap match by Mrs. NcLain,
with Miss LANCE .as winner OF the
consolation flight.
Miss LANCE had the harder Of
the two seminal matches. After
halving the first two holes, she
won the third when Miss McKie's
drive was trapped. Miss LANCE was
on with her drive and down for a
par three. Four and five were halv-
ed. A lost ball in the woods on
the sixth cost Miss MCKEE another
hole. She came back to win the
seventh, however. TO be one down
again. Eight was halved and the
match was squared on nine. Miss
McKie was home In two and down
in four for as at the halfway
mark. When Miss Lange reached
the green after a creek penalty,
she picked up TO concede the hole,
scoring an approximate 46 Miss
McKie won the 10th. the next was
halved, and on the 18th the match
was evened again when Miss LANCE
sank a putt for par five. On
10, a stymie caused Miss McKie
three puts to become one down
again. Fourteen was halved. Fiji
teen turned out to be a crucial spot.
Twice trimming the cup, Miss Nc
Kie lost the hole TO become two
down with three TO go. The match
was over on the next hole, Miss
LANCE winning three and two. when
Miss McKie's ball found the ditch.
Steady play carried Miss LANCE
through. Her medal score on the
second nine through the 18th hole
was IS.
In 1889, Miss McKie was runner.
