ANCHORAGE.—Five leading vet

nounced that they would support
efforts of the War Assets Admin
1 istration to wipe out abuses of
certification to buy surplus pro-i
perty. The announcement fol
lowed a meeting of the Veterans
Policy Committee of the W'ar As
' sets Administration, consisting of
representatives of the organiza
tion. with WAA officials.
The Veterans Policy Committee
declared a benefit which Congress
had conferred upon veterans as
a group was being jeopardized
| by unscrupulous persons who
were perverting the provisions of
I the Surplus Property Act and the
procedures of the WAA to acquire
goods which should go to veterans
seeking legitimately to avail them
selves of the right to purchase.
Members of veterans organiza
tions who are approached with
proposals for misuse of their cer
j tificates to buy will be urged to
i report such proposals to Joseph

assist the WAA in combatting vio
lations of the law in surplus dis
posal which involves abuse of the
priority or preference of any oth
er group under the Surplus Pro
;>erty Act.
Mr. Carroll told the committee
that representatives of his div
ision had uncovered indications
that a small minority of veterans
had acquired surplus property
for others after certifying that
the property was for their own
use. He pointed out that such
veterans laid themselves open to
prosecution for violations of the
U. S. Criminal Code and the Sur
plus Property Act, which call for
severe penalties for obtaining pro
perty on false representations.
Under a War Assets Adminis
tration regulation, any evidence
of irregularity in the acquisition
of surplus property is reported to
the Department of Justice. Con
duct of the investigation is there
upon taken over by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and pro
secution by the Department of
Justice.
Some o? the cases which the
Department of Justice is now pre
paring to prosecute involve deal
ers who have induced veterans
to obtain substantial amounts of
I
' property for the dealers upon
1 certification that it is for u'-e in
setting up or maintaining their
i own business enterprises. Deal
ers who resort to illegitimate
means to acquire surplus face loss
i of the right to buy any such pro
1 perty.
Recent amendment of the Sur
: plus Property Act materially im
proved the veteran’s buying pos
1 itjon. He now has a general
priority in the purchase of all
surplus goods that is subordinate
only to that of Federal agencies
I to set a Jde, for sale to veterans
; exclusively, certain types of items
! in heavier demand and short sup
ply, such as passenger cars, trucks
I tractors, construction and farm
ing machinery, medical equipment
and typewriters.
Members of the Veterans Pol
icy Committee were Omar B.
Ketchum, Veterans of Foreign
Wars; Millard Rice, Disabled Am
erican Veterans Committee, Inc.;
and Robert E. McLaughlin, Amer
ican Veterans of World War II.
WAA officials present included
! Mr. Carroll, Scott W. Donaldson,
Director of the Veterans Divis
ion, and Huly E. Bray, Director
