Savings Tapped
In Post Korea
Buying Rush

Evidence of the imitation forces
set OF by the Korean aggression
last June is provided by an analy-
sis of the consumer buying rush
during this past summer.
A U. S. Department of Commerce
study shows that by drawing on
their liquid assets and going deem
er into debt, the American people
as a whole were spending at an
annual rate of more than $40 bill
lions over and above their current
income in the July-September per-
iod in their rush to buy homes and
durable goods. The effect of this
added buying was all the more in
tense because Of the rise in aggre-
gate personal incomes to a new
high in the period, reaching a
yearly rate above 1929 billions in
August.
Effect On Prices
There was a general and rapid
rise in prices as a result, with the
cost of living just falling short of
equalling the all-time high estab-
lished in August-September, 194S.
This situation and the antici-
pated effect of the program to ex-
pand U. S. defenses led to prompt
credit and fiscal action, including
higher personal income and cor
poration taxes, to fight the threat
of a runaway rise in prices. Re-
cent developments make it clear
that these steps are not enough

Man Who Sold
Surplus To US
Gets A Lot
More Bargains
hy Assoelated prsss

WASHINGTON - The lucky
Texan who paid $3.50 fer some
surplus Air Force equipment and
sold it to Air Force officers for
$4,000 has found some more at
bargain prices, it was reported
this week.
Two different sources said the
canny Texan acquired the same
type of instruments, but the Air
Force refused to buy them back
this time.
The name of the Texan has been
withheld from the public by both
the Senate armed services prepar-
edness subcommittee and air Force
officers.
Pentagon spokesmen for the Air
Force refused to answer any Ques-
tions, saying that all information
had been supplied to the Senate
group which is acting as a watch
dog committee" over the multi-bil-
lion dollar defense program and
Korean War.
Senator Lyndon johnson ID
Tex), chairman Of the investigating
group who first called attention to
the ''mOst astounding case Of short
sightedness," was out of the city.
Aides Of the senator said any
questions about additional lots of
the surplus equipment could be
answered by the Air Force officers.
Johnson, when he first called at
tention to the transaction, said he
was not making the name of the
Texan public because he had CO.
operated with the subcommittee
and its investigators and double
checks had verified the unusual
story.
Though OF Different Goods
The east Texan said he thought
he was buying some small card
board eOmputers in 1916 when he
bid less than 5 cents apiece for the
surplus offered for sale at San An
tonic.
Later he discovered he had
bought "168 serviceable unused
aircraft parralax computers" val
ued at $1,000 each or worth $1.2O9.-
500.
These are electric gun fire-con-
troll instruments for airplanes.
The Texan put them in a ware
house, contacted Air Force procure
ment officers and sold them back |
for $4,000 a year and a half after
he got them, after spending about
$4,000 for storage, shipping and |
other costs.
In a later report, Chairman john
son said the transaction was in
SOAR as the subcommittee can as
certain, entirely lawful" adding
that the taxpayers have suffered
and corrective action at this date
is not feasible"
The unidentified Texas was quot
ed as saying:
Milford chronicle., 1950-12-01

and that even sitter taxation and
other measures will be necessary
to put the defense program on a
pay as-you-gO basis and preserve
the purchasing power of the dol
lar. An essential part of this pro-
gram is the strictest economy in
Government, particularly in nom
military spending.
Department of Commerce figures
show that consumers in the ag-
gregate drew down their savings
deposits by nearly a billion dollars
in the third quarter of this year,
equivalent to about S3.5 billions on
an annual rate basis. This con-
trasts with the fact that savings
deposits showed no change in the
same months of 1949 while in the
comparable 194S period there was
a reduction of less than $100 mil
lions.
Liquid Assets Drawn Down
Greater redemption of Series e
Savings Bonds together with some
decline in new purchases brought
an excess of redemptions over
sales of approximately $3.50 mil
lions in the third quarter of this
year. By contrast, there was a net
excess of purchases over redemp-
tiOns of $3.50 millions in the corre-
spending months of 1949 and of
$76 millions in the like 194S per-
iod.
Savings and loan associations
showed their first excess of with
drawals over new savings since
the beginning of 1942. This occur
red entirely in July, whep with
drawals exceeded new savings cap
ital by SCI millions. For the quar-
Milford chronicle., 1950-12-01

"The thing may be summed by
saying that the disposal agency
was delighted to unload what they
thought was a heap of junk on an
unsuspecting country boy and that
the colonel in charge of the pur-
chasing agency and the personnel
at Wright Field were delighted to
repurchase this equipment in brand
new condition at a cost which saw
ed the taxpayer $500,OOO."
Got $3.50 For Each Nickel
The Texan got back more than
$3.50 for each five cents on his
original purchase. Reports here
we're that he then went out and
found some more Of these cOmput-
ers. bought them for about $50
each but has failed to sell the sec
ond set back to the Air Force.
The subcommittee said the Texan
was a former naval officer who first
bought small amounts of war sur
plus good for a farm. The man is
not a full-time farmer or rancher
and his brothers joined him in the
second cOmputer purchase, it was
reported.
Air Force spOkesmen said they
could not answer questions as to
why they did not repurchase the
second set, what had been done to
officers involved in these sales, or
any other questions about the Incl
dent.
Elsewhere, a reporter was told
that originally the Air Force de-
clared the World War II computers
because a new fire control
instrument had been designed and
was being produced.
Later, il was said, these failed to
prove as good as the first models
and so the surplus was repurchas-

as against net savings gains of
