SHOP TOGETHER EVERY NIGHT AT BARKER'S open week-nights from 6i30 to 9:00 for YOU Main at Central Administration Preparing Plan To Unload Stock Washington - Kin - The government's strategic stock pile Is loaded with 5,044,000 pounds of quartz crystal more than eight times the es timated need for a three-year war and 25 times annual U.S. consumption, Senate investi gators were told today. Some of the stockpiled crys tals are "junk," an adminis tration official told Sen. Stu art Symington's special armed services Investigating sub committee. Disposal Planned The official, William N. Lawrence, an assistant direc tor in the Office of Emergen cy Planning, said the admin istration was preparing a plan to dispose of surplus supplies. But selling even 5 or 10 per cent of the stockpile would break the world mar ket, Lawrence testified. Lawrence said th- govern ment bought most of the crys tals from Brazil during the period from World War II until 1956. The purchases in cluded 897,000 subspecifica tion crystals, he said. The government is trying to unload the substandard supplies now but there seems to be few buyers, he testified. Lawrence said the sub. standard quartz wound up in the stockpile because contrac tors "kind of swept up the floor" when purchasing con tracts were terminated. Officials' Criticised Symington criticized gov ernment officials for saying in a previously classified doc ument that the stockpile was in position to profit by $28 million in the quartz transactions. Symington said the docu ment assigned a "strictly fic titious" market value of $90.8 million to the stockpiled quartz. He said this assumed that all the quartz could be sold at the present market price of 90 cents a pound. Lawrence said the ovcrsup ply of quartz was based on a very sharp reduction in military requirements and on the rapid development of syn thetics.
