Program.

Forty thousand travelling salesmen
for wholesale grocers and food job
bers will engage in a campaign for
economy Of food and energy in the gro
cery business. Their aid has been en-
listed by the food administration.
One evil the food administration will
attack in this field is that Of long
standing accounts. It is believed there
is a large waste and loss from long
time credit. Statesmen will seek to
persuade retailers to shorten their
credits and wholesalers will follow the
same policy for retail dealers
Unnecessary grocery delivery serv
ice also will be discouraged to release
men for the Army and war industries
Other functions of the statesmen will
be to show the retailers how to make
attractive displays of corn meal, po-
tatoes. beans and other wheat sub
stitutes. The National Wholesale Gro
GERS Association is urging all food
wholesalers to order from manufac-
turers additional supplies Of corn

FOR SOLDIERS INSURANCE.
Suggestion That Pension Bureau
Should Administer the Law.

In the hearing on the soldiers and
sailors insurance bill before the Senate
finance committees subcommittee, J. Fl
Harper of New York recomme nd ed
that the administration of the bill be
given to the pension bureau. which he
proposed should be transferred to the
Treasury Department, in the interest
of economy.
An amendment permitting disabled
soldiers to remain under the care of the
surgeon general of the United States
during rehabilitation was urged by DIR.
Charles w. Richardson of Washington.
The section which makes optional the
taking of insurance by enlisted men
was vigorously assailed by George E.
1de. president of the Home Life In
surance Company of New York, who
asserted that it opened the door for
future pension legislation, was too
vague. utterly unsound in principle"
and was class legislation.
Some minor changes were made in the
bill at the suggestion Of Judge Julian
Mack, who drew the measure
