WASHINGTON-One of the big gest international problems facing the Administration is whether to feed or not to feed Europe.
 Certain occupied areas are be- ing rapidly denuded by German troops. In France, for instance, food is being purchased by the German army with "kreditenmarks' Y which are redeemable aga in s t French government has guaranteed to make good this paper German currency, which actually has nothing else behind it.
 This is a painless method of ex- tracting food from the French peas ant. German purchasing agents pay him in kreditenmarks which he converts to francs; thus he feels kindly toward the army of occupa- tiOn
 However, the net result is that truck loads of livestock and grain are being shipped from the French countryside, first to feed the Ger man army, and second into Ger many itself.
 Meanwhile there are certain areas in France which, because of lack of transportation, actually are starving. Similar conditions exist in Belgium and Holland. In the latter country, according to Dutch diplomats in Washington, Hollanders have been forced, by the Germans, to plant crops but are blowing them up when German backs are turned.

By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-I hope I'm not passing along anything that will get me in bad with the accredited flying schools. Accord ing to the Civil Aeronautics board, they are doing a good job and making their own contribution to the national defense program.
 Several Federal employees have solved the I-can't-afford-it prob lem and are well on their way toward getting pilot licenses.
 This may be a tip-off to a lot of folks with the burning desire to take wings, but without the where withal.
 It's called the FeueraI Flying Club. It's composed of working folk who don't have the time but do have the inclination to learn all there is about soaring in the blue Banding together, they bought a light monoplane, hired an ac- credited CAB. instructor and went to work on the pay-as-you-go plan.
 These long summer evenings and Saturdays and Sundays, you can see the little plane taking oil from the Greenbelt airport taxi ing in again as would-be pilots try their take-offs and landings.

FOR ONE-THIRD COST

Having worked out expense prob lems to the last penny, from the cost of the plane down to servic- ing, the members figure they are getting pilot licenses Tor about one third of the average cost.
 They have the added incentive and inspiration of competitive eff fort and round-table discussions of experiences and problems.
 President of the club is R. Paul Weesner, who is an attorney for the Department of the Interior ard a resident of Silver Springs, Md.
 It's not hard to understand why Weesner is President of the group. His enthusiasm for the possibili- ties of the flying club idea led to a discussion of how well prepared club members will be in war emergencies. The women can step immediately into the ferrying of planes, chauffeuring and carrying dispatches-work for which the women of Great Britain have been highly praised. And the

The man who most vigorously de- mands feeding these occupied areas is Herbert Hoover. It has not leak ed out yet, but Hoover's associates have gone much further into this than anyone realizes. Hugh Gib- son, Ambassador to Belgium, &C., tually has engaged in conversations with officials of Belgium, Holland and Poland, regarding food for these areas.
 These conversations run exactly counter to the State Departments policy and also to the Neutrality Act, which bars American ships from the war zone. Yet no food can be sent to Belgium, Holland and Po- land except on American ships, which would have to traverse the
