placed on the short supply list by
the defense effort. This would be j
necessary to prevent anyone from ^
taking advantage of short supply to
profit off the private citizen or the
taxpayer and his contribution to the
nation’s defense purchasing.
Chamber of Horrors
For some months the Committee
on Armed Services has set up a
“chamber of horrors” wherein they
have shown a multitude of items
purchased by the Defense Depart-
ment that have resulted in a ftreat
variance in prices paid for the sam^
article by the various branches of the
services. We have now passed a
bill, for which your Congressman
voted, that calls for the Defense De-
partment to list all the items it pur-
chases under one catalog in order that
we may have a more economical and
efficient supply management for
defense.
It sets the standardization of sup-
plies thereby enabling the Depart-
ment to order Dulk all three services
iwith the result in savings to the tax-
payer. Based upon the Hoover Com-
Unission Report on the 25 billion dol-
lar budget, 2 1-2 billion will be saved
and, logically, on a 52 billion budget,
as we have, some 5 billion dollars
will be saved for the taxpayer. Log-
ically, this is a step that should have
been taken on the initiative of the
armed services long ago. It is un-
fortunate that Congress has had to
tep in to insure this standardization
of purchases which is long overdue.
It is estimated that the catalog will
contain some 700,000 items which will
be utilized for defense. This appears
to be a long step toward further uni-
fication of the services. It is a field
that is particularly worthy of econ-
omy in the huge expenditures we have
to make for national defense today.
Rural Telephones
Our South Texas area has had its
first rural telephone application ap-
proved, the 15th for the State of Tex-
as.
REA recently granted the South-
west Texas Telephone Cooperative a
loan of $261,000 on an application
that has been in the mill for almost
two years.
The telephone service, when in-
stallations have been completed, will
serve approximately 462 new cus-
tomers in Frio, La Salle and Dimmit
counties who have been without tel-
ephones up to this time. The coop-
erative will have central offices in
Asherton, Artesia Wells, Mfllett and
Dilley, according to REA officials,
and will build 380 miles of new line,
vhile also rebuilding 15 miles of line
which now serves 60 subscribers.
There is still work to be done be-
fore the first bell will ring on this
telephone service, but the loan has
been hailed with approval by resi-
dents in that section who have long
