|U.S.0verstocked
With Thousands
|0f Office Desks
1000 in Mukeshift
| Warehouses Here;
Expansion Bockfired

Thousands Of desks and other
pieces of Office furniture are
stacked in makeshift Government
warehouses here-the result of
buying for Offices that never
opened.
The flood of equipment spilled
over the regular storage facilities
of General Services Administra-
ton, forcing the stacking of about
10000 wooden desks and almost
1000 steel ones in improvised
quarters.
GSA blamed the overstocking on
planned Government expansion
that backf1red.
About year ago, when the De-
tense Department began building
up for the Korean war, GSA be-
lieved it would be necessary to put
new offices into business over
night. a spokesman said.
Expansion Frozen.
Realizing it required from 90
to 120 days to fill an order, the
Government purchasing agency
began stepping up its acquisitions.
At one time the pinch was so tight
that it was necessary to buy piece
meal from any dealers available,
the agency said.
Then came a freeze" on some
Government agency expansion.
The House Armed Services Com
mittee baked a Defense Depart
ment plan to utilize Boston House
and State House, two apartment
houses, for office space.
But the orders had been placed
and the desks and chairs and
filing cabinets kept rolling in.
Soon the warehouse of Federal
Supply Service, a GSA agency,
was crammed to the rafters.
/ Looking for other space, GsA
converted three former COW barns
at the Soldiers Home, found addi-
'Itional space at st. Elizabeths Hos
pital, and these other addresses:
The Auth building, Seventh and D
streets S.W., warehouse at 1882
South Capitol street. and a paper
mill warehouse at Twenty-third
and Water streets NV.
Worth About $88O,OOO.
In all. GSA says, there is about
$880,000 worth of desks on hand
But the agency believes all are
protected from the elements and
any other usual typ of damage.
/ What to do with all of it? GSA
lis not perturbed about the out
come.
/ AS a matter of fact, they say
the entire lot should be put into
use within three to five months,
Normal requirements and new
orders will take care of much of it
William A. Miller, regional di-
rector, said more of it may be
used to replenish a 81 million
inventory washed away in the
Kansas City flood.
4 The agency said purchases OF
office furniture have jumped from
100000 a year to more than 81
million. Purchased in huge fac
tory lots, desks range from $71
Ito $S7 each. whereas an emergency
buying spree on the open market
would cost $50 to $120 each, GSA
said.

Lawyer Ford Attacks
Suspended Policeman
Testifying on HoIdup

In one of the most vituperative
courtroom blasts ever hear
against a Government witness
here, Defense Counsel Charles E.
Ford today lashed into suspended
policeman, George j. Dunn, as a
dirty, sinking, coward, 'stickup
thug"
Mr.. Ford used this language in
shouting his closing arguments to
a District Court jury trying two
alleged accomplices of Pvt. Dunn
in the $500 armed robbery of a
Washington couple in their home
last May.
Mr.. Ford represents Albert
Givot, 25, of the 1900 block of Lee
Gate road NV. The third de-
fendant is George Papagos, 18. of
the $500 block of 18th street NV.
who refused to testify in his own
defense this morning and is be-
ing defended by Attorney Saul
Lichtenberg.
Repentant, Prosecution Says.
Dunn, who pleaded guilty last
week and testified as Govern
ment witness against Givot and
Papagos, was described today by
the Government as a "repentant
sinner"
Mr.. Ford leaped on this immedi-
ately. Was he repentant sinner
or did he come here knowing his
goose was cooked and wanting to
take Givot with him because he
knew Givot had something or
him." Mr.. Ford demanded of the
jury.
The lawyer then burst into his
invective against Dunn, shouting
that it was Infamous" the way
Federal Prosecutor William Nc
Kinley talked about Dunn's wife
and baby instead of the police
mans admitted role in at least
two armed robberies.
Mr.. Ford declared there was nc
evidence that Givot was the. mas
ter mind of the present holdup
as charged by the Government
or that his client was anywhere
faround" at the time of the rob-
berry.
The jury will get the case this
afternoon.
Givot testified yesterday that HI
was threatened and framed by
Dunn.
Tells of Holdup.
Dunn. at the outset yesterday
declared that Papagos accom-.
lpanied him into the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Melvin H. Mandell, Bill
Davenport street NV, and robbed
the couple at gunpoint. Giyot, ac'
Icording to Dunn. stayed outside il
Papagos' automobile waiting fol
them.
Givot conceded he knew Dunr
and Papagos slightly but de.
lnied participating in any crime
He said he met Dunn when the
latter came to the finance com.

sought a loan. Givot testified Dunn
applied for the loan by forging
his wife's signature to the papers

pared by Bernard Margolius, has

tended she was bound by law ROT

Hard Drills Are Proceeding for Rose Bowl Game

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 2S-Rt- Offensive drills again dominated workouts of the Stanford and H. linois football teams Friday, lead ing observers to wonder what Will happen New Years day in the duel between the rival Rose Bowl quart erbacks.
 Leading the Illini attack Will be Tommy O'Connell. His opposite at the T-quarterbacking spot is Gary Kerkorian of the Indians.
 O'Connell, particularly for young man who just won his first varsity letter, is notoriously cool under fire
 Kerkorian is much the same, and many think he has more of a gamb- ling complex than does the Illini kid.
 O'Connell's passing under pres sure impressed critics who saw him operate in the Big Ten. His come through throws brought victories over Washington and Michigan.
 Kerkorian is much better known out here, and has established him. self as fine all-around grid per- former. He can run, pass, handle the ball and placekick.

$50 Sunday morning in her
apartment in the Murray-Boland
Building, East High Street, by
her cousin, Miss Mayme Murray,
who resides in nearby apart
ment in the same building. She is
believed to have died of a heart
attack a short time before, hav-
ing been in i'll health since her
retirement.
Mrs. Boland was lifelong resi-
dent Of Madison county. She was
born in Stokes township, the

Friday, November 13, 1908, with
the late Judge S. w. Durflinger,

position 40 years members of the

today:
I'VE sincerely hope that the
people cf London and the sur
rounding community, after a lapse
Of five years, will again support
our annual Charity Newsie sale
in the sanae manner as they have
in the past. It is only through
their support and cooperation
that we can continue this extrem-
ely valuable project for our
school children"
Each year all students in the
London schools, both public and
parochial, are screened for any
sight, hearing. or dental defects
Parents of the students are advis-
ed of any corrections that should
be made. The screening processes

ton of the local dentists, optom.
etrists, physicians, Health Depart
ment, Welfare Department, and
school officials without cost eth
er to the student or the schools
In addition, corrective. work on
INDECENT cases is taken care of by
the Clinic.
The local Jaycees have received
wide acclaim for this project, and
it has been widely copied by
other organizations throughout
the state and nation.
