Government Freezes
Surplus for Check on
Defense Requirements
Larson Order Leaves
No Agency Exempt, but
OfficioIs Disagree

The Government today placed
a freeze on disposal of all Gov
ernment-held surplus property
pending a check TO see what the
defense needs are in the light of
the Korean War.
The order, issued by Admins
traitor Jess Larson of General
Services Administration, covers
war plants. supplies, equipment
and material. both civilian and
military, regardless of previous au-
thority for disposal.
No Government agency is ex-
empt under the order, not even
General Services itself.
Chiefly affected by the order is
personal property. The Govern
ment now holds only a handful
of war plants and previously had
all of its World War II
surplus material. GSA estimated
that during the past II months it
has approved the disposal Of
around 5000 million worth of
property valuation based on
original cost. ranging from type
writer's to bulldozers.
The order therefore would have
no effect on private firms operat-
ing war surplus stores here and
in other cities, according to
officials.
An official said it would be i'm
possible to estimate in dollars the
total surplus holdings of all Gov
ernment agencies.
Screening Necessary.
Mr.. Larson said the order re-
mains in effect until further no
tice, but other officials indicated
that once a new survey has been
made and the military and other
agencies have decided on what
they need, the order might be
lifted.
Mr.. Larson explained that GSA
regulations require that any prop
erty earmarked for disposal must
be screened with all other Federal
agencies before it can be declared
surplus.
The agency's action comes just
day after President Truman
