Surplus Goods Plan Aims to Aid Veterans in Buying
Surplus Property Administrator W Stuart Symington told a Senate military subcommittee that surplus goods should be released to veterans through wholesalers. He urged VIP priority over most buyers, direct personal-use purchases, and Veterans Administration screening, replacing the Smaller War Plant Corporation. He noted thousands of outlets would replace the current 31 regional RC disposal offices, with veterans possibly paying a bit more but gaining broad access.
