SURPLUS GOODS
| PLAN CENSURED

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA Up -
A Government Official complained
today that the Treasury is giving
manufa cturers first crack at buy
ing surplus property and asserted
this threatens full employment aft
er V-day.
In addition, such practice
keeps goods from consumers and
permits the manufacturer to make
a double profit" David L. Pode1l,
general counsel OF the Smaller
War Plants Corporation, told a sub.
committee of the Senate Small Bus.
mess Committee.
The committee is investigating
surplus property disposal.
Podell said manufacturers have a
tendency to hold on to surplus ma.
terial which they purchase and to
"dole it OUT sparingly to maintain
prices.
This means, he said, that when
peace comes they will have heavy
backlog of goods and will not swing
quickly to full production.
Podell's referecne to "double
profit" applied, he said. to a manu-.
facturer who sells an item to the
armed services, repurchases it al
lower price from the Treasury s
Surplus Property Office and Their
puts it back on the market at 8
markup.

Scrapping Of Virginia
Poll Tax Recommended

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. "A Up
The Virginia general assembly
meeting today to remedy it's own
unconstitutional effort to provide
for voting by Virginians in the
armed services, faced numerous
demands that the poll tax as a pre-.
requisite for voting be scrapped
altogether.
Governor Darden, who called
the assembly, made it known that
he favors a brief session limited
to the one point Of service voting
to be achieved through a consti.
tutional convention for this one
purpose. 1t appeared likely that
little else would be considered in
the session which is expected to
last for just two days.

LEAF SHORTAGE
BLOCKS OUTPUT

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA Up -
One of the country's leading ciga
rette manufacturers said today 4
leaf tobacco shortage prevents ar
increase in his production.
S. Clay Williams, board chair
man of the R. ]. Reynolds Tobacco
Co., told the Senate War Investigat
ing committee that Is per cent
more cigarets could he made ir
his plants if aged tobacco were
available.
He added that he has had hi!
own problems as a cigaret user a!
well as maker. For instance, HI
said, he sometimes has to wall
many miles to buy a package o.
his own brand.
"For Is years." he told the com
mittee, 81 have been committed tt
walk a mile for a Camel. Lately
I have lifted that limitation. Tha
slogan should be revised"
More lucky than most users
however, he said he had failed tx
obtain his favorite brand on only
five or six occasions" during the
last month.
Another advantage. he conceded
is that he can pick up package
at the plant when he is there.
The hearing went into its SECOND
day after the first produced little
more than a mass of discoura gins
statistics.
Their original enthusiasm for the
inquiry somewhat dampened by
testimony that there will be even
