MILITARY nSURPLUS"
20 TIMES SIZE OF
Ccc FARM STOCKS

The hard-to-pin-down figure of the
total value of surplus" industrial
products owned by the Armed Serv-
ices against the possibility of sudden
emergency need was revealed re-
Gently by the Hoover Commission on
Governmental Reorganization at $155
billion. This is 20 times as much as
the total of CCC crop loans to farmers
plus government-owned farm COM
modities.
The Hoover group charged that
billions of dollars are being wasted
by piling up mountainous" supplies
of military goods and then selling
them at fraction of their costs as
surplus" At present, only to per
cent of original cost is recovered, the
Hoover Commission said, and losses
will run at So billion or more year.
The "stockpile" program whereby
prices of metals and other raw ma
terials are dropped" by government
purchases, likewise surrounded with |
secrecy, has goal of So billion, about |
50 billion more than present farm |
price support commitments.
The WALL STREET JOURNAL re-
ported that Washington has "allayed
fears" of mining companies that stock /
pile purchases of lead and zinc will
stop June 80. Government buying will
continue at about 13c per Id. for zinc
and 15c for lead, it is reported, with
purchases stopped when prices rise
above the support level and to be re-
sumed if prices go below.

To End Discrimination

FORT WAYNE, Ind.-The AFL
American Federation of Teachers

nation against Negro membership by
June 1, 1856.
The ban on racial curbs was voted
at the AFT convention and gave the
union the authority to suspend the
charter of any of it's locals that prac-
tices segregation.

is RULED ILLEGAL
The Air Force actually started
carrying out it's gigantic giveaway
to the Telephone Trust. Then Camp
bell ruled the deal illegal, because
Congress had neither authorized nor
appropriated any of the enormous
amount of money required for the
lines and equipment.
Mccormack disclosed that ruling
and added comments like these:
''This is one of the most amazing
transactions ever attempted. 1t shows
how far some persons will go in their
disregard of constitutional govern
ment.
''It also shows how far Big Bust
ness has obtained control of our
government. This responsibility for
this situation rests on President
Eisenhower. If he did not know, he
should have"
Mccormack called the deal ga
bonanza" for the Telephone Trust,
and "a secret effort to bypass Con-
gress."
How did this proposal come into
existence?" he asked. "Who origi-
mated it? Who participated in it's
formulation? Why should the gov
eminent delegate away its basic
duties and responsibilities to AT&T
or some other company
Some of these questions were part
ly answered by unnamed Administra-
ton spokesman quoted in newspapers.
They said the deal was mostly ar
ranged by former Air Force Secretary
Harold E. Talbot, before resigning
as result of disclosures that he was
mixing public business with his pri-
vate business.
ENTER QUARLES
Then Donald A. Quarles took over
IS Secretary of the Air Force, but,
he Administration spokesman said,
lie had little to do with the deal.
They did not point out the following
acts about Quarles:

Campbell was appointed by Presi
dent Eisenhower and, in his former
position as a member of the Atomic
Energy Commission, he went along
with the Dixon-Yates deal. Yet now
he says the Eisenhower Administra-
ton is illegally attempting to bypass
Congress to give two giant corpora
'tions-American Telephone & Tele-
graph and its subsidiary, Western
Electric $240 million-a-year hand
out of the taxpayers money, or $2.4
billion over the next 10 years, and
more after that.
Congressman Clarence Cannon Cd
Mo- chairman of the House Approp-
ration Committee, said it will investi-
gate this deal.
ARE HUGE
The story has so many shocking
angles that it can't be given in full
here. AS told by Mccormack and
it boils down to this:
The Air Force needs a vast and
far-flung network of telephone lines
and equipment, for its "air warning
system" The government could build
these lines or have them built by a
contractor. In either case, Uncle Sam
would own and operate the lines and
just as Uncle Sam owns
and operates battleship or anything
else used for national defense.
Instead, the Air Force arranged to
have the AT&T-Western Electric
combine, known as the Bell Telephone
Trust, provide, install, own and oper-
ate the lines and equipment.
According to a recent column by
Drew Pearson, "the AT&T is milking
he most out of the deal by basing its
harges on local telephone rates, which
ire higher than the federally
ated rates" regularly charged on
uch long-distance lines.
Pearson added that "the AT&T is |
llso taking over the telephone systems
It military posts and national parks, |
nd is dickering to buy the Civil Aero
autics Administration communica-
ion network and sell the service back
0 the government.

HOOVER GROUP IMPRACTICAL

He also turned a deaf ear to the
Hoover Commission recommendation
on TWAS fertilizer production.
again, there is an element of imprac-
ticability in this suggestion. Linked
with this responsibility for fertilizer
research, IVA is charged with re-
sponsibility in the field of munitions
development. The production of nj
trate in the first World war and ele-
mental phosphorus during the second
World war and during the Korean
