Navy Ships Parts Control Center
In Pennsylvania, it found stock
of gear drives which would supply
government needs for 1913 years.
Methods OF surplus property dis
poSal are obsolete and shockingly
meconomic. Based on acquisition
costs, the average sale price of
surplus property over the years has
been from sc to 7c on the dollar.
Our current rate Of surplus property
disposal is now about $2-billion a
year. From this, it will be seen that
each additional 1c received on each
dollar cost of property sold would
yield an additional s20-million q
year. One of the reasons for SO
much waste in the program is the
lack of a proper cocrdinated
system and an efficient centralized
Gearing house.
This is best demonstrated by a
recent incident where Federal
agency found itself with an. excess
of 100000 pounds of tungsten
powder Although this was a strate-
gic defense material and although
it might have been readily used by
some other agency, it was not of
fered for utilization screening. A
private dealer got wind. of this sur
plus supply. The first thing he did
was to negotiate with the General
Services Administration a contract
to buy from him the 4OO, 600 pounds
of tungsten powder, at S4 a pound.
Then he submitted to the owning
agency a bid to purchase the sur
plus powder at S120 a pound. For
tunately, an alert officer iii the
Emergency Procmemfnt ServicE,
who became curious about such large
supply OF a strategic material, in
vestigated and cancelled the tran
saction, and the powder is now

War Affected Tastes
World War II played a part
in our desire for more color in
everything. We were ready for
a new approach to civilian iv-
ing. One interesting aspect of
this was ex-army men who
wouldn't buy anything In khaki
color when peace came, and ex-
navy men who wouldn't wear
blue. This was noticed with in
terest in mems clothing stores.
The same thing was true in the
demand for new and different
colorS in automobiles.
Sunny climates have also
exerted an influence. It's a fact
that Californians and Texans
love vivid automobiles, because
their weather allows a more re-
Taxed and coIorful existence.

procedure:
Cd When an owning agency of

CD Theoretically. these lists OF

among other using agencies, and if
no Federal agency has . need for a
particular item, it Is then classified
as surplus"
CID Before surplus personal prop

quire that it must first be offered
to State health and educational in

conditions are met, receive the prop
erty without cost, except for handl-

4) Surplus property which has
cleared the first three steps is then
listed by the owning agency which
periodically publishes a document
containing a brief description of
the items. Most of this property is
sold Under competitive sealed bids
to the lowest bidder.
CD Recently, the government has
been experimenting with q public
auction sale technique, the results
of which have not yet been analyz-

The excess always offered for the

LOBBYISTS

In 1916, the Congress passed the
Federal Regulation Of Lobbying
Act" In the following year, pursu-
ant to the requirement Of that Act,
lobbyists reported total spending
of $5-million. BY 1850, that figure
had risen TO $l0-million. In 1858, to-
tai spending had dropped again to
$4.4-miilion and in 1854. the fig
ure was $4.3-million, the lowest in
the history of the Act.

have suggested that they herald the

Youth q Factor
More young people are finan-
cially able to buy cars these
days. Their purchases are al
most always in the brighter
color range.
Women are responsible in q
large part, too.a When it was
found that women have some
thing to say in the purchase of
the family car in 800 of the
cases, manufacturers paid more
and more attention to feminine
taste. 1s
We women are generally more
color conscious than men, and
want the same color vitality in
cars that we look for in dresses
and interior decoration.
Take a look at some busy
parking lot near you and ex-
anime the wide range OF color
in the cars parked there. It's
simply amazing, the number OF
brilliant hues you'll find.
