G. Stigler. Clearance wau issued Wednesday at Stigler’s request by Jess Larson, administrate1 or of the War Assets Administration at Washington in- a telegram directing the Dallas office to give “particular attention to school districts whose applications for buildings were deferred when the War Department “froze the orders dismantling the camp in February.“There appears no necessity for re-advertising such property to priority holders, Larson tcid Stigler. The Congressman explained; that numerous school distxictsHvgre engaged in removing Camp Gruber structure at the time of the“freeze. * IStopping the removal was caus*1 ed by a decision of the Air Force to use Camp Gruber if Congress passed a universal military training law. Passage of the draft bill, instead made use of the camp un necessary. Stigler declared, however, that the War Department has not released Camp Gruber and the | Greenleaf Lake Areas. While it is! disposing of the war built struct-1 ures, which is necessary because ] of deterioration and cost otf upkeep, it is retaining the land as well as the permanent buildings at; GreenTeaf Lake for an indefiniteperiod.The Cheoatah and KentiesviUe Separate Schools will benefit from the action, according to Stigler.
