Surplus Military Stockpiles Offer Variety of Goods Washington (U,P.) If you have need for an airplane fuse lage or two, several miles of railroad track or an assortment of bags, barrels, baskets, or egg crates, you should notify your Uncle Sam. Chances are he can find them for you among his stocks of mili tary surplus. These stocks, ' which become surplus as a result of wear and tear and changing military needs are made available to the public by the armed services through property disposal offices located at various military installations in 25 states, the District of Col umbia and overseas. The Department of Defense continuously reviews its scat tered assets to assure that only property needed now or in the foreseeable future is kept on hand. Surpluses are catalogued by the disposal offices and in formation as to their nature is forwarded to prospective civil ian buyers. This property may be available through the various disposal offices. f Military surplus is classified usable and salvage or scrap and waste. A buyer, however, may consider these stocks dif ferently than the armed services. Many usuable items are to be found in both classifications, and those in the first are graded ac cording to a condition code. A prospective buyer who is listed with the disposal offices is informed of the types and condition of surpluses to be made available in advance of sale in his area. He also is noti fied of the time and place of sale and invited to submit a bid for the materials he may want, if bidding is to be the procedure used for disposal. In any case, whether disposal is to be under taken through bidding, auction or retail sale, he is mailed a descriptive catalogue giving him full information on the sale. A person wishing to get on property disposal bidders' lists simply writes to a military dis posal office in his geographical area, giving his name and ad dress and listing the types of surplus he would like to buy. A list of the location of all disposal offices may be obtained from any armed services installation or by writing to the Department of Defense, Washington, D. C.
