SCANDAL LOOMING
OVER SURPRISES
WAA Cites Misuse OF Vet
erans' Priorities 10
Purchase Goods

WASHINGTON, May l3-P)-
Misuse of veterans properties to
buy surplus property has developed
into almost a scandal in some
areas, War Assets administration
officials asserted Monday night.
Increasing evidence that veter-
n are being used as illegal
fronts" by which dealers obtain
government SURPRISES has prompt
ed an accelerated drive against
the racket" a WAA spokesman
said.
Bulk Large
Such cases bulk large, he re-
ported. Oh a list of $50 cases OF
suspected surplus frauds turned
over to the Department of justice.
Twenty-one persons now are
awaiting trial on fraud, collision
and other charges, and hundreds
have been investigated.
WAA confirmed a report in the
Surplus War property newsletter
a private weekly publication for
business men, that wide spread
manipulation of the veterans prior
ity certificates is Threatening to
endanger orderly and fair dis
posal."
Veterans Involved
"Reports indicate that some
companies and individuals are us
ing veterans to buy surplus; that
some veterans are going into the
business of acquiring surplus, not
for use personally or in their own
enterprises but for the purpose of
trading with others" the neWslet-
ter said.
Veterans certificates are get
ting to have a dollar value, being
employed to obtain surplus not for
the veterans themselves as Con-
gress intended but for commercial
reasons"
Not for Resale
Under the new veterans priority
law, veterans no longer need to
show that goods they intend to pur-
chase are for their OWN business
use. The only requirement is that
they certify the goods will not be
used for resale.
WAA has hesitated to take its
| problem to Congress, some Off
Gals said, because of Congress-
mems universal reluctance to
crack down on servicemen.
The Department of justice similar
ly is unwilling to go to court I'M
less a case is fragrant enough to
overcome a jury's natural reluc-
lance to send a veteran to prison.
1--WE are laying for the dealers
who are in the racket c%orrupting
and hiring veterans to misuse their
certificates" the WAA spokesman
said.

Aware Of Significance
Keppel told the dealers that
Governor Cherry, mindful OF the
possibilities of u efforts, is aware
of the significance success might
have on the economy and lives
of North Carolina people"
He said that the pipeline I'VE,
with others, built and completed
before the war saved hundreds o.
needed ships from destruction and
thousands of lives. Since the war
it has made possible price re-
auctions in gasoline to the people
in central and western North
Carolina"
His company, Keppel said, is
now at work on a movie about
North Carolina, to be shown in
schools and clubs throughout this
and other countries. We're taking
films of historical, cultural, COM
mercial and Agricultural scenses."
I'm the fullest extent possible

We believe in it. We have a date

said.
Huge Highway Program
Governor Cherry said that the
Federal, state and city governments
were planning the greatest highway
and street development program
in history.
Your government and your
state legislature together with
local government officials" he
said, have the the responsibility
of coordinating all their functions in
the interest Of simpler laws, uni
formity of rules of the road and
improved enforcement and traffic
control. We must study safety as
we have never studied it before.
We must practice and enforce
safety.
Estate regulations already insist
upon minimum SAFETY equipment
for all forms of transportation. We
might go further and require
minimum operation condition, with
periodic inspection by state sta
tons, cordinating with a continu-
ing police road check"
He said full cooperation should
be given President Truman's
highway safety program and said
that IF states don't do a better
job the Federal government might
have to step into the picture.
Commissioner Ward, in discuss
ing automobiles accidents and their
causes, suggested that the next
legislature make the passenger a
speed limit 50 miles per hour and
trucks 40 to 43 miles per hour; a
safety course in driving in gram
mar and high schools: the re-issu-
ance of drivers licenses at least
every three years; mandatory in
spection Of vehicles semi-annually;
and an augmented highway patrol.
I'm the interest of safety, it is
my considered opinion that all
traffic cases should be handled
by a court of competent juris-
diction, preferably a traffic court
were all such cases could be dis
posed of more equitably and
expeditiously." he said. Ward also
said North Carolina" can we'll Of

ADMIRAL DRAWS REpRIMAND FOR
 PROPERTY L0SS

WASHINGTON, May 25. - The Senate War Investigating Commit tee today released a report on the theft or loss of some $30,000 worth of clocks, pressure cookers and other articles from Navy patrol bomber planes.
 The report said Secretary of
 Navy James V. Forrestal shad in-
 formed Senators of administrative disciplinary action" against Vice Admiral Robert C. Griffen and
 four other naval officers in charge
 of the Naval Air station at San Juan, Puerto Rico, between May
 and October of last year. Griffen, the report said, received "severe reprimand."
 The San Juan report was made a part of the committees official record as the Senators resumed hearings on what Chairman Mead eD-NY) termed irregularities in business operations conducted by the Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
 George Meader, Committee Coun- sel, said the severe reprimand for Admiral Griffen was the first of it's kind in Naval history against so high ranking an officer.
