Dr. Karl T. Compton. president

the fund He says all that is neces-
sary is for all American companies
to spend 2 per cent of their gross
income for research.
DR.. Compton, chairman of the
National Association of Manufac-
entific research. based his state
turers advisory committee on sci
ment on a survey of 1873 of the
nations manufacturing concerns.
He said that many were handling
research competently, particularly in
the aviation industry. where 10
companies spent more than 10 per
sent of their gross income in this
work.
But he emphasized that research
still is one of the nations least

lowed if new jobs, industries, goods

Food Crisis Drives French TO Plan
Farm-to-Farm Requisitioning Of
Wheat Stocks; Surplus Depleted

VICHY, Oct. IT CUP)- Agricul-

France today that farm-t to-farm
requisitioning of wheat stocks may
be ordered to meet the food short
age in the unoccupied zone.
He said this drastic measure,
which was used by George Glenn
enceau at the end of the World
War. may become necessary be-
cause of the rapid depletion of a

vious harvests. This surplus had
been used TO feed millions of refu-
gees from northern France, Bel
gium, Spain and other countries
and TO carry the country through
and would be exhausted this winter
The 1910 wheat harvest, Caziot
said was the worst in 40 years.
Caziot revealed the sugar harvest
was barely one-third of normal,
butter and dairy products had di-
minished two thirds and meat sup
plies were decimated by cattle loss
es in the blitzgreig and requisitions
for the allied armies and for the
German forces of occupation.
Present reserves of surplus wheat
may carry France another three
months, Caziot said, but the ma
tionWide requisition could be ex-
pected to provide another two
months supply TO augment this
years harvest and carry the coun-
try through a strictly rationed win
/ ter.
He also warned against danger

Keep Headlights
Low is WarninQ

SACRAMENTO Oct. II. - Keep
your headlamps on the low beam
when travelling in heavy traffic!
This advice came today from E.
Raymond Cato, chief of the Califor-
MIA Highway Patrol.
Cato said it abviously is impossible
for the motorist to keep lowering
and raising his lights every time a
car approaches when night traffic
is heavy.
Experiments have shown, he said,
that the motorist does not actually
need his high beam under such cir
cumstances as all objects along the
highway are silhouetted by ap-
preaching lights. Hence, it is better
to dim the lights by putting them
on the low beam and keeping them
there so long as traffic continues
heavy.

GUN INVENTOR HOPED
TO END ALL WARS

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. II. CUP
According to DR.. l.. A. Warren,
director of the Lincoln Museum in
Fort Wayne, the inventor of the
machine gun hoped to aid mankind
rather than destroy it.
In a letter owned by the museum
and written by Richard Gatling

Jarvis, the inventor said:
1T occurred to me that if 1 could

one man to do as much battle duty
as a hundred, that it would to a
great extent, supersede the neces-

les on trucks. However much we
hate the nazis, we should recognize
that they are teaching the world
what can be accomplished with
foresight and organization. One
cannot over-emphasiZe the effect of
taking an inventory Of all food,
clothing, and other necessities and
dividing them equitably-not nee
essarily equally-among all.
Money VS.. Men
There is d curious development
from this ''control experience. Money
loses its power. The rich can get
no more food than the poor. The
Well-to-do are as limited as the less
Well-off when all are on food cards.
This effect, namely, the discovery
that money does not bring power, is
having a very great influence in Eu-
rope. Hence, the cry against pluto
Gratis or plutolIraten. There also is
a second discovery in the Reich,
namely. that to build an army and to
reshape nation under fasclSm,
money, as we have known it, is not
needed. But l must not slip into
that very interesting field OF what
is happening to the European money
situation and to the RothschildS, as
this column is about famine.
There may be a severe food short
age in the winter Of l941-1942 if
the British blockade is then in eff
feet This may resolve itself into
famine of vitamins through the loss
of fruits. leafy vegetables, and dairy
products. This would develop scur-
vey. eye diseases. and lung infec-
tions among the weaker people. But
the winter Of 1941-42 is a long way
ahead. Besides the Germans are MAX
ing tests feeding people on common
grass-very rich in vitamins-Which
may have revolutionary results.
How VIII The War End?
Whatever food statistics show, let
