Surplus Properly Sales
To Be PoIiced in New
Antifraud Campaign
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

A closely supervised enforcement
system designed to prevent further
fraud in the sale of war surplus
property has been set up by the
Surplus Property Board and the
various Government agencies en-
gagged in the disposal of the goods,
1t was learned last night.
The action was taken after the
Senate War Investigating Commit
tee and the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation found that the Gov
ernment had been defrauded of
millions of dollars in the sale of
surplus goods at the various dis
posal stations. Criminal action in
these cases will be started shortly
by the Justice Department.
A central compliance division,
whose duty it will be to police
surplus sales activities and enforce
provisions of the Surplus Property
Act, has been established by the
Surplus Property Board. Working
in close contact with the division
will be local enforcement compli-
ance sections of the various Gov
eminent agencies actually selling
surplus material.
Two Divisions Set Up.
Already the Commerce Depart
ment and the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. have set up compli-
ance divisions at their supply depots.
The Agricultural and Interior De-
partments, the Federal Works
Agency and the National Housing
Agency are expected to set up en-
forcement divisions soon.
The central compliance division
will have overall supervision of all
the Government disposal agencies.
Any evidence of wrongdoing will be
turned over to the Justice Depart
ment for appropriate action.
Some progress has already been
made in the drive to eliminate fraud
and cases have been prepared for
grand jury presentation. In several
instances personnel at disposal sta
tions engaged in the sale of surplus
property have been dismissed from
their jobs.
Accused of Bribery.
The employees were accused of ac-
cepting -bribes from businessmen,
who purchased the surplus goods at
prices far less than their worth.
Bribery also enabled the purchasers
to have first crack at the surplus
goods, the Justice Department is
prepared to show.
Prominent businessmen as well as
Government employees are among
those whose indictments the Justice
Department will seek when it pre-
sents evidence soon before grand
turies here and in various sections
of the country. None of the Gov
eminent workers involved is en-
ployed in the Surplus Property
Board, but work for the other Fed
eral disposal agencies.
Cox Named to Board.
Hugh B. Cox, formerly assistant
solicitor general, will serve tempo
rarily as general counsel of the
Surplus Property Board.
Mr.. Cox was special assistant in
the antitrust division of the Justice
Department from 1896 to 1943. He
served as first assistant to Thurman

she felt amply repaid for coming

only the highest qualities of man

never necessary to use any pre-

Mrs. Brunson was high in praise
for George Davis, senior at the
college, who is her present aide.
Mr.. Davis transacts business nee

the prospects of losing him, she
is relieved in feeling that so long
