Since October 31, 1945, the Army has de- | clared 10973 trucks to be surplus, | and the War Department estimates | that only 54300 trucks will be available for civilian purchase be-| tween now and June 30, 1949. | SURPLU REMAINS OVERSEAS This is enough to accommodate about one in 20 ex-G.L's who are anxious to buy surplus Army trucks for commercial uses. Also, most of the trucks are geared for military use, with four and six-wheel drive, and not suitable for commercial work. 1 The Army bought 41,507 passeng- er (staff) cars, seating from two to seven persons, from 1939 until August 1945, Last October, there were 22223 of these cars in the United States. The remainder had been sent overseas or scrapped. Yet, the War Assets Corporation has 84,000 G.I. applications on file for the purchase of passenger cars. All told, more than 575,000 appli- cations have been received from ex-servicemen for vehicles of all types. Less than one in ten of these applications will result in an actual sale. One reason for this is that Army and Navy vehicles sent over- seas will stay there. A confidential report drafted by the War Assets Corporation for Army Service Forces states in part: Practically none of the overseas vehicles will be brought back to the United States. But will be turned over to the Chinese and other Allied armies for post-war development.” Under an Act of Congress quietly sneaked through by big business lobbies, the Army and Navy are not permitted to retwrn surplusi property to this country from over- seas if it is to be sold in the U.S.A. It can only be returned if sold back to the companies which nri-‘ ginally manufactured it | Note—At a recent sale of sur- plus war vehicles in Baltimore, G.I’s bought approximately 300, out of an available 340 vehicles in| a sale lasting four hours.
