WASHINGTON

Washington, d. G.. (NWNS) -
Although many points in our aid
to-Britain plans are still kept secret
by the President in order to keep
Hitler guessing, there are certain
major revelations about our ma
tional policy which have been
made recently. They include:
/. The use of conveys is not con-
templated for the immediate fu-
ture, the President having decided
that they are outmoded and that
the system of patrols, which we
are now using, is more effective.
2 The President does not intend
to ask for repeal of the neutrality
law, since at present it does not
interfere with his plans.
3. The President expects labor
and capital to stop letting disputes
interfere with production, but If
they don't settle their problems
among themselves the government
will act.
4. The President has no i'm
mediate intention of using most
of the powers available to him
under his unlimited emergency
proclamation, and he has no new
legislation in mind.
5. We will "start shooting" If
Germany and her allies attempt to
get bases, such as Dakar, the
Azores, or Greenland which the
President considers might be used
for an attack on the Americas.
6. We will probably not start
shooting unless Germany provokes
us to do so by attemps to get
bases in our hemisphere or by at
tacks on our navy patrols.
Z. Passage of the ship-seizure
bill, insuring the U. S. permanent
acquisition of Axis ships taken in
to custody, is considered as a test
of Nazi threats to start hostilities.
A new surge of effort to in
crease the speed of production of
defense equipment has been clear
ly evident since the Presidents
declaration of an unlimited emerg-
ency, partly because of the Presi-
dents appeal and partly because
we have now entered upon our
second year of defense produc-
ton with new and much larger
goals to attain.
Outlining the job ahead, John D.
Biggers, production director of the
Office of Production Management,
said the new goals for the rest Of
the year include doubling of pres
ent airplane production, quad
rupling tank production, trebling
powder production and increasing
five-fold the production rate of ma
chine guns.
To do this, it is evident to all
OPM officials that strikes must
not be allowed to halt production.
They have been encouraged by the
recent Fortune poll showing that
the majority of the labor army Of
the U. S. is almost as strongly op-
posed to strikes in dfense in
dustries as is the non-labor popu-
lation.
With both congressman and the
administration vitally interested in
the trends of public opinion on the
great issues before us, polls such
as Fortunes and the Gallup polls
are studied closely here. Many con-
gressmen were encouraged by a
recent Gallup poll which showed
that aid-to-Britain and war as a
last resort is favored just as much
by families of boys in the military
training camps as by the people
who are not called upon to make
such personal sacrifices. Sixty

type of food needed for health
plus"
If the plan is carried out we
can expect to be the healthiest
group of individuals on the face of
the earth. We have sufficient food
to supply the dietary needs of
everyone in the country so that
the whole job is one of education
on what to eat and a plan for max
Ing sure those foods are available
to all of us.
To put the program over. one
OF the first things many of us
nave to learn is what vitamins.
calorles, proteins, etc., are all
about.
unless we can buy our meals in
capsule form at the drug store, in
stead of in the present form at
the grocery and meat stores, it's
not going to help the housewife
much to know that a moderately
active husband, weighing 1874
pounds, should have each day: g.
700 calories, 20 grams of proteins.

iron, 5000 International Units Of
Vltamln A, is milligrams of

flavln, Is milligrams of nicotinic
acid (no, that doesn't mean cigar
ettes), rs milligrams of Vitamin
c and 400 International Units of
Vitamin D.
LOVE mann,nese
Besides learning what all these
technical food value terms mean,
we also need to be told why diff
ferent things are essential to us.
Then, if we're convinced, we'll be
willing to go to the bother of
working out menus which will aid
us all, in eating our way to vic
tory.
If everyone was made to realize
that mother love vanishes unless
the mother has sufficient manga
nese, that eyes are apt to go bad
without sufficient riboflavin, that
mental balance depends on nico-
tinic acid, and that vitamin B is
essential for stamina and courage,
most people would see to it that
dish containing each of those in
gradients was on the table every
night.
Until the government gets going
on this plan, however, and tells us
all just what we should eat, here
is a satisfactory diet, outlined by
DR.. Lydia j. Roberts, head Of the
department of home economics of
the University of Chicago, which
can tide you over until you get
further details:
"One pint of milk for an adult
and more child; a serving OF
meat of which the cheaper cuts
are just as nutritious; one egg,
or some suitable substitute, such
az navy beans; two vegetables,
one of which should be green or
yellow; two fruits, one of which
should be rich in vitamin C, found
abundantly in citrus fruits and to-
matoeS; breads, flour and cereal,
most or preferably all, whole grain
or enriched with minerals and
vitamins; some butter or oleomar-
garine with vitamin A added: 9TH

equipment will leave the reser-
walton by the end of September.
Construction workmen, including
the prime contractors men and
those of 10 subcontractors, total
ed more than $4,000 persons at
the employment peak - many Of
them being from this section.
Within the reservation there are
now 581a miles of roads, Is miles
of railroad trackage, 461 complet-
ed buildings with 2,024,241 square
feet of floor space and eight en-
ployees' parking lots with total
area of $4,000 square feet.
A 1.3OO-foot steel span bridge
over New river connecting the
manufacturing area with the ma
gazine area, was begun June %
and completed August 16.
Armament for operation OF
Radford's new proving ground
has already arrived. It includes
rifles, machine guns, 37-mm anti
tank guns, 75-mm field guns, B.
inch anti-aircraft guns, lO5-mm
howitzers, 155-mm field guns, and
trench mortarS.
The proving ground consists OF
two cannon ranges, trench-mor-
tar range and storage and loading
houses. The cannon ranges are
located near a hill into which
two tunnels have been driven to
catch the projectiles. These I'M
derground "backstops" are to be
used because insufficient area is
available to allow shell full range,
a distance of Is miles in the case
of heavier calibre cannon.
Guns firing powder to be test
ed are located $50 feet from the
mouth of the tunnels. Powder
strength, or velocity, is tested by
firing shell through two screens
of wire. AS the strands are brok-
en- by the projectile, electrical i'm
pulses are transmitted to chrome
graphs, which measure the time
interval.
Gun chamber pressures also
checked to determine whether the
maximum is within the safety IL
mits for whatever type of gun is
being used. To make this test
small steel guage composed OF
a steel block containing a piston
and a copper cylinder is placed
in the rear of the gun chamber
behind the powder charge. When
the charge is fired, the pressure
developed in the chamber COM
presses the cylinder, so that the
distance the cylinder has been
crushed down by the piston gives
an accurate measure of the cham
Der pressure.

WICKARD SAYS PRICES
ARE NOW AT A PEAK

New Ycrk.-Secretary of Agri-

"While prices have risen in re-

see any reason why they should
go very much higher and I don't
think they should"
He said the increased produc-
ton program should stabilize do
mestic demands, as we'll as pro-
vide supplies for Britain and Gre
