Royal Reports Plans
To Wind Up IS Billion
Surplus Problem

The Army has taken action on all
| but 26 per cent Of the total military
property in overseas theaters and by
the end of the summer hopes to fin
| iSh its job of handling SIS, 000,-
900 worth of overseas movable war
surplus, according to Undersecretary
Of War Kenneth C. Royal
He quoted March 81 figures yester-
day afternoon in telling a press con-
! ference that the Army had done "a
pretty fair job" in declaring surplus
81 900, 900 900 in goods, returning S.
750,000,000 worth to the United
States and disposing of, as scrap,
materials originally valued at $780,
000, 900.
Within the next three months, he
said, l25 ships will carry an esti-
mated $350,0O0,00O worth of civilian
type surplus goods from the Pacific
to the United States. He warned,
however, that the cost of returning
these items may prove expensive.
Doing Well" on Price.
"If we could sell this property
overseas at anything like a reason
able price, I am confident we would
make money by doing so, and even
if we cannot sell it overseas, we
might well lose money by bringing it
back" he said.
| The UnderSecretary, who recently
completed a personal investigation
of surplus property in all overseas
| theaterS, declared the Government
was doing very well' on the price
received from foreign buyers, con-
sidering the worn and damaged con-
dition of much of the goods.
Commenting on rumors of wanton
and improper destruction of war
materials overseas, he said he and
other officials had found nothing
to support any charges" of this kind.
He believed that if unauthorized de-
struction occurred, sit was exceed
ingly rare"
He admitted the Army had "de-
liberately and purposely destroyed
property costing 81 ,160,0 100000" over
seas. Chief items destroyed, he said,
were chemical warfare material, am
munition and armament, including
combat aircraft. He defended this
destruction as necessary and wise,
and he promised the Army would
retain records of all material de-
stroyed and the reasons for de-
struction.
Undecided on Return.
Pressed for more details as to the
types of civilian goods to be return
ed from overseas before the end Of
July, the Undersecretary said this
was matter not yet fully decided.
Il believe this return of goods
will reach point where it will flood
the domestic market and interfere
with production and employment" :"
he said.
Besides the s400O,O00,0O0 worth
of property declared surplus, he ac-
counted as follows for other goods
left overseas in Army hands: S..
750,000000 returned to the United
States, chiefly guns, ammunition
and aircraft; $500000,00O disposed
OF as scrap or salvage, and S1,160,-
100000 destroyed
He said the following remains to
be handled $2,250,OOO 900 of goods
yet to be declared surplus; S8OO,000,-
600 worth still to be shipped back,
and S880,000,000 worth to be de-
mol1shed, destroyed or abandoned

New Discovery
In Hearing Aid

A remarkable and new improve
ment has been made in a hearing
aid now welcomed by thousands. 1t
is small one-piece instrument
that does not require a separate
battery pack, battery wire, battery
case or garment. So small that it
fits into the hand. The tone is un-
usually clear and powerful. So
made that it can be adjusted by
the Wearer to suit his individual
hearing as it changes. 1t has met
all the eXacting standards and is
approved by the Council on Physi-
cal Medicine of the American Med
ical Association. One of the unique
features of this new hearing aid is
that it has plug-in electronic tubes
which are interchangeable within
a couple minutes. This new patent
feature alone, makes it possible to
compensate for any future change
sin hearing, merely by changing the
tube arrangement to match the in
dAsANAoAo liSal A1lS 1ICiuCllSy, 1llC
new floating nlicrophone has a
very wide and powerful range
which now makes it possible to
hear normally in groups of people,
cross conversation, in church lee
ture halls and in the theater. No
longer is it necessary for one to live
in a world of silence or apart from
the wonders of sound which they
deserve to hear. The makers of
Beltone are so proud of their new
achievement that they will gladly
have the District Hearing Aid
Clinic, 1907 H Street NV, Wash
ington, D. c., send to any one in
this area a free descriptive booklet
and explain how a demonstration
of this remarkable new instrument
may be obtained without risking a
penny. Persons who are hard of
| hearing are invited to come in for
a trial fitting or write for free
booklet. This booklet contains full
information on the new Beltone,
free Clinic Membership and its ad-
vantages.

handles actual disposal of overseas
surpluses, reported the Army and
Navy together had turned over $3,-
521 100000 for disposal. The dis
crepancy between his and Mr.. Roy
all's figures was accounted for by
the time lag in reporting from for
eign theaters, it was said.
OF this total, Mr.. McCabe said,
goods which originally cost $1,028,-

cry of about $345 100000. An addi-
