 Of Buffer May Yef Prove
 To Be Undoing of Germany
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Mar 1.-An ex- planation of Nazi demands that German farmers plant abundantly this spring is contained in study of Nazi food conditions made by a United States Government econ omist.
 His conclusion is: Germany can feed her workers and soldiers well until about September l, then short ages of important food elements, principally meats, fats, fruits and vegetables, will begin to wear down morale.
 The trouble lies in the fact that just at the time her usual sources of imported foods are cut off by the blockade, Germany must sup port demands for larger rations for soldiers and munitions work CTS.
