Bonner has released a report through his sub committee revealing a chain of events which enabled certain individuals to obtain property purchased by the Government for nearly 5 million dollars. These individuals paid ap proximately $35,000 as the cost of this property to a school. Clayton C. Harrah, an aircraft parts dealer, and Howard L, Pemberton, formerly a test pilot, along with three other- individuals Started acquiring Government surplus property in De cember, 1946. This property was ac quired in the name of the Bunker Hill School, which was an existing high school in Indiana. None of this property was ever delivered to the high school. Instead it was shipped to the Bunker Hill Naval Air Station. The Air Station was leased from the Navy for a dollar a year plus, maintenance by the Town of Bunker Hill, Indiana. The town had sub leased the Air Station to a private j corporation which was farming the land and renting the buildings thereon for storage. The proposed school used this facility as their base of opera tions, though no lease was ever ob tained from the corporation or Town. In March, 1947, the Bunker Hill School of Aeronautics was incorporat ed as a non-profit school. Surplus property continued to pour into the base until August, 1947. No classes were ever taught by the aeronautical school. Though the school was in tended to have facilities for 300 stu dents, only around 30 ever expressed any interest in enrolling; and none were actually, . "enrolled for 5 future classes. There was little evidence of a bona fide attempt on the part of - the incorporator of the school to acquire desks, blackboards, and other necessary equipment for Instruction. At the insistence of the Navy De partment in the latter part of 1947, the school was evicted from the Air Station ; because terms for leasing could not be agreed upon. In trying to move, the proposed school had difficulty in finding a new location. . This resulted in the property being stored in numerous places. Starting' in March, 1950, the in corporators of this school started to sell the property acquired. In one ease 26 Lycoming Aircraft, Engines ; which had cost 10 dollars each were sold for $3,750. Though other receipts were not this sensational, much pro perty was sold, and the total receipts have amounted to $27,0CO. There are still vast quantities "bf surplus proper ty in "the possession of these indi viduals. v Congressman Bonner stated that the evidence in the possession of the sub committee wiH be turned over to the Department of Justice. , He said at least the investigation has opened the way for the United States Govern ment to attempt to reclaim the' pro perty in the possession of the indi viduals or to obtain damages from .
