LISTS SURPLUS
Facilities To Revert To
Standby Status By
July

The job of placing the Whining
ton shipyard on a standby basis
IS expected to be completed by July
l, L. E. Voss, yard superintendent
SAID yesterday following an an
nouncement that 81, 00O, 900 worth of
surplus materials from the yard is
ready for sale of the War Assets
Administration.
Supplies left in the area following
the completion of the shipbuilding
program have been inventoried and
readied for sale by a group under
Voss' direction.
Clearing this material, ranging
from electric light bulbs to heavy
construction supplies, has been one
of the principal jobs of the commits
sion since it took over the yard
from the North Carolina Shipbuild-
ing company in October, Voss add
ed.
Jess Tatum, a sales manager for
the WAA, has arrived here and the
first sale of some of surplus mater
ial was conducted Monday and
Tuesday.
Offered at this time were $780,
$50 worth of used and unused hard
ware, building materials, plumbing
and heating equipment, oxygen cy-
finders, wire, gas masks, expanded
metals, cotton duck, rope, hair
felt, household lamps, shades, met
al clothes lockers, electrical and
many other types of supplies.
This lot was declared surplus be-
fore the commission took over the
yard from the North Carolina conn
pany.
1t was available for sale to the
federal government, certified vet
Grams of World War II, R. F. c.
small business units, state and
local governments, eligible non-pro-
fit institutions and non-priority
commercial buyers.
Meantime, Voss reported, the
job of placing the large installa-
ton on a standby basis is pro-
crossing at a good rate. A force of
100 men is employed and 80 per
cent of the larger machinery has
been put in proper condition for
storage. A great part of the sur
plus material has been placed in
warehouses at the yard in pIepara-
ton for sale by the WAA and the
yard is being cleaned up.
Voss, formerly plant superinten-
dent for the commission here, esti-
mated that the job of placing the
yard on a standby basis will be
completed by the first of July. AS
it is advanced, the number of men
employed will be reduced to the
point that the force will consist of
maintenance and watch units.

AIR FIELD HEAD
Bright Future Predicted By
Jesse Parker For
Bluethenthal

A comparative bright future for
the Wilmington-New Hanover coun-
ty airport authority in the way OF
finances was predicted yesterday
by Jesse Parker, Bluethenthal air
port manager, following the release
of a budget report which showed
that over $4,000 still remained of
the funds granted by the county.
The disclosure of the financial
condition of the airfield came on
the heels of a sharp split between
members of the air authority and
the county commissioners over
proposed raises in salary for field
employees. The county had maintain
ed that the budget as set up did
not provide for pay increases
whereas the air board expressed
the opinion that the authority for
such a move rested with their
group.
Parker's financial statement dis
closed earned income for the six
months period from July l, 1916,
until Jan. l, 1947, was SO, O94. 81.
Accounts receivable were reported
at $1,019.06, with total revenue list
ed as $40, 239. SO.
An inventory Of aircraft gasoline
now on hand was valued at ST.
1928, and hay realized from the
wide expanses of the field has total
value of 81, 900, Parker said.
Expenditures total $26, 1913. 48, but
Parker declared about So, 900 of
this was for capital expenditures
which will not recur.
Total operational expenses were
listed by Parker as $14, 1858
Gasoline purchases for resale total
ed $2,4-6.03 and other purchases
also for resale were listed at $421-
.05.
Capital expenditures of S6, O81,-
.0l, as well as the cost of the road
leading to the WIFI very high
frequency radio range, of So, 854.-
.o2, cannot be honestly called OPP
Grating expenses, because they
will not recur in the second half
of the fiscal year" Parker pointed
out.
The airport manager predicted
more business during 1947 with a
smaller outlay of money would
enable the airport authority to stay
within the bounds Of its $31, 500
Parker indicated the authority
had hoped to realize ar income of
some $40, 900 for the year, a n d
had already taken in more than
lalf that amount. II

deemed from slavery and opp~es-
sion under the Pharaohs. Unleav-
ened bread; or Matsos are eaten
during the entire sever or eight
days.
The Seder service or meals on
the first two nights are dedicated
to a re-affi-mation of the dem
ocratic ideals of freedom, which
were vouchsafed to all at the
time Of the Exodus, when the
Jews we're lead from Egyptian
bondage by the great lawgiver
Moses approximately 3400 years
ago.
The ideal of democracy was Civ
en- to the Pilgrim fathers and the
fathers Of the American Republic
who read the old testament. They
were inspired ito proclaim lib
erty throughout the land, to all
the inhabitants thereof" Rabbi
Jacobs pointed out.
The special religious Service
which is read on the first two
nights is known as the Haggadah,
the rabbi explained.
On Saturday morning starting
