Pplntlng out many details of
abuses and waste In federal gov
ernment as shown toy the Hoover
Commission, in .its report on gov
ernmental re-onranlzation, W.
Falson Barnes, K.. gs Mountain
attorney, urged members of the
Lions club Tuesday night to Join
in the "Operation Economy" pro
ject now underway over the na
tion. - ? v ?
The "Operation Economy" pro
ject is toeing sponsored toy the
United "States Junior Chamber of
Commerce, which seeks resolu
tions to Congressmen supporting
! adoption of ^he Hoover commis
| sion recommendation, and person
tntn in* mri
Mr.' Barnes, in addressing the
Lions, pointed out that the Hoo
ver Commission was a bi-partisan
committee of six Democrats and
six Republicans appointed toy
President Truman. The members
elected Former President Hoover
chairman.
Following two years' work by
some 350 .persons, the commission
made its report, recommending to
the Congress 288 specific propos
als for the reorganization of the
government, Mr. Barnes said. A
doptlon of the proposals, Br. Barn
es said, would, result in saving.}
the federal government some
three toillkm dollars annually
with no curtailment of any pres
ent federal services.
Mr. Barnes listed several spe
cific examples of governmental
waste brought out toy the report.
Major ones included: ?
(1) At the end of the war the
army was supposed to have had
25,000 tanfcs, tout only 16,000 could
toe accounted for. Cost of each
tank was $350,000;
(2) The government built 910
five-room frame houses in Alaska
at a cost to the taxpayers of $58,
000 per house, and 8CS in Guam
at $48,000 per house.
(3) Many federal agencies
over-lap in functions, services
and advice. One fanner had re
ported .shelving conflicting ad
vice on fertilization from five dif
ferent federal agencies. .
(4) Postctffice department inef
ficiencies mean that amount of.
a quarter's deficit is not known
for sift* months thereafter, and
it oosts His postoCAce department
?Mo and one-feaif cents for each
one-cent .postal card mailed.
(5) Civil service department

tention to screening for employ,
ment and putting pay scale* on

Another mother brought her

"Tell the man what you want,"
she told the child.
"Want* help the little girl," the
boy stammered. Sinoe she had

Proceedings
May Be Begun
On February 15
Possibility of final settlement
of the matter of DuCourt Mills,
Inc., bankrupt, by the middle of
April wa., indicated last Friday,
according to actions at a meeting
of creditors of the company in
New York.
The information was contained
in a letter to Kings Mountain
Lawyer J. R. Davis, from his re
presentative Lyeth and Voorhees,
New York law firm.
There are still some "it's" In
the matter, but, according -to the
letter, Referee Loewentha!, at the
January 20 meeting, gave permis
sion for Pilot Life Insurance,
holder of first mortgage against
DuCourt, to comence foreclosure
proceedings on February 15.
However, Pilot agreed that the
foreclosure sale would hot be
held-eeartieeethan April 15; ?
It was aiso agreed, Mr. Davis
said he was informed, that If no
feasible plan were forthcoming
by February 15, 1950, DuCourt
would submit to adjudication and
that a trustee's sale of the mill
and village would be held on
March 25, 1950, the upset price
to be $350,000.
There was some question as to
tile meaning of the term "upset
price," but it was the opinion of
Mr. Davis, and of R. Marion
Ross, oi Charlotte, referee in
bankruptcy In this district, that
the term means price at which
the biding for the DuCourt prop
erties will start. Mr. Ross opined
that a sizeable offer for the prop
erties might already have been
made and that Referee Loewen
thai thought that $350,000 would
be the proper starting told.
Mr, Davis said he was inform
ed that the debtor (DuCourt) ob
jected at the creditor's meeting
that not all the DuCourt proper
ties is subject to the first mort
gage held by Pilot Life. It was
then agreed that eight percent of
the upset price would be allocat
ed to the free and plear assets,
such as the superintendent's
house, supplies and certain
looms not subject to mortgage.
The referee set Friday as the
new date fur an adjourned meet
ing of creditors' in event the
debtor had a new plan to present
to creditors, but it was the New
Yom firm's opinion t hat this
meeting would not be held, Mr.
Davis stated. The referee is to be
away from New York in Febru
ary, and an adjourned meeting
has been set for March 3, it was
stated.
In addition to the. first mort
gage, there is a large second
mortgage. Also outstanding a
gainst the bankrupt firm are lar
ge county and city tax bills (ag
gregating upwards of $30,000), as
well as numerous accounts from
unsecured creditors.
