A NEW ORGANIZATION

Braxton Beacham, federal food ad-
ministrator for Florida, is going to
create a new organization in this
state for the purpose of handling
matters pertaining to the food ad-
ministration work, and to accomplish
more definite results, intends to ap-
point one reliable and well endorsed
man in each county as food admins
traitor. Those who are appointed to
these positions must be well recon-
mended and must posses the highest
qualifications, intelligence and dis
cretion. They will have to act in
their respective counties as Mr..
Beacham acts for the state of Flor
ida, but will be directly under the au-
thority of Mr.. Beacham at all times,
and will receive all orders from him.
The appointees to these positions
will receive no salary, but will serve
just as the food administrators of the
states serve, i. e., through a patriotic
desire to be of aid to their country
and the people.
In many of the counties of Florida,
the chairmen who served efficiently in
the food pledge card campaign, will
be given consideration for appoint
ment, but those who are chosen, will
have to guarantee close application
to the duties of the Office, and strict
attention to their work at all times.
When names are submitted to Mr..
Beacham for appointment, and these
are backed by substantial recommen-
dations, he will select those who seem
to him best fitted TO properly conduct
the work. After the appointments
are made, approval must be given
from Washington, and with this ap-
proval, the ones selected become
county food administrators, of the
Florida division.
Creation of these positions in ne
way interferes or abridges work of
other officials already working in the
food conservation, but means step
toward a greater organization, and a
closer cooperation with the people.
The appointments are TO be made
without delay, and it is probable that
after the positions are filed, con-
ference will be called to acquaint the
county food administrators with their
duties and the plans of the food ad-
ministration.
With but few exceptions, the
counties of Florida showed that they
had capable and willing workers, and
in all cases where former volunteers
furnish necessary recommendations
and have qualifications needed TO sue
cessfu1ly carry on work, Mr.. Beach
am viii give them primary considera-
ton.

BLAME LAID ON
SEC''Y BAKER
Caused the Shortage of Machine
Guns in American Army,
Says Gen. CrOZier
(Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 13.-Major Gen.
eral Crozier, chief of ordnance, tes-
tifying today before the. Sena.e COM
mittee investigating war prepara-
tions, declared that the responsibility
for a delay in getting machine guns
lay personally with Secretary Baker,
who took charge of the tests being
conducted of the different types. Be-
cause of the machine gun shortage,
General Crozier said, foreign guns
were furnished the American troops
abroad and in the training camps at
home.
Senators pressed Gen. Crozier Wig
orously and declared they wanted spe-
cifc information, not generalities.
