SLICES AT BANANA
 SPLIT HERE
BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGE Wide World Features Writer

Wlue WOTiu rcdtuTcS WTItcT
 WASHINGTON, June 13-If that banana split appears a bit emaci- ated on the banana side this sum- mer, you can blame that, too, on the war.
 Hefty reductions in imports and advances in the price of the popt- lar tropical fruit are the results of wartime shipping difficulties. Big banana steamships, which former ly carried the fruit in specially re- frigerated holds are now transport ing war materials.
 Small boats are being pressed into service in an effort to bring in fairly adequate supplies from Central American countries. but a decline of about 40 percent-and possibly more-in our normal im- ports is expected. That would mean getting along with about two bil- lion less bananas than we usually consume in year In 1940 we inn ported 52 million punches which, | figuring 100 bananas to the bunch after deducting for wastage, would be some 5,200,0O0,000 bananas.
 Once Was Rare
 Sixty years ago the banana was rare delicacy in this country, al- though its use as a food in the tropics is ancient. The armies of Alexander the Great found the fruit in abundance in the valley of the Indus in 327 B. c. and went on a banana orgy.
 Bananas are not rated essential to civilian morale, but they are Yankee food staple and stand ard item in millions of lunch boxes And you can expect Uncle Sam to facilitate as far as possible the importation of commodity which is the economic life blood of such Good Neighbors as Hon d ura $ Guatemala and Panama.
 Mexico also is big producer of bananas and sends the fruit tc the states by the trainloads.
 The banana import problem is complicated by the need for extra care in handling the perishable fruit and for distributing and selling il without much delay.
 Get Pineapples
 For pineapples, chief rival oi bananas as a tropical fruit, the supply situation has been uncer- tain, but looks more favorable. Wal conditions in Hawaii may curtai that crop but large supply ni canned pineapple is expected. Int Hawaiian shipping prospect ap- pears brighter because boats car rying military supplies to our Pa cific outposts can bring in large loads of canned pineapple and oth- CT commodities on return trips.
 Olives have been higher in price but no severe shortage is as yet indicated. There has been some reduction in shipments from Spain but that impoverished country is still sending us lot of piekled olives The harvest of olives in California has been large in the last two years.
 Shortages in our tropical fruit supplies are offset, however, by tre- mendous production of domestic fruits. a

GEN. MACARTHUR'S
HEADQUARTERS IN AUS
TRALIA, March 25. (UP)-
Gen. Dougl a S Macarthur
soon may be asked to take time
cut" from his pressing military
duties to decide whether American
soldiers should continue to be per-
mitted to marry Australian girls.
The marriages have tossed a deli
cate strategic issue directly into the
laps of Macarthur and his staff,
and some official" stand may be
forthcoming.
While certain Australian leaders
limited strongly today that a mar
riage ban" should be imposed at
least for the duration, an American
army headquarters spokesman re-
yealed that no instructions had been
issued forbidding American service
men to marry Australian girls.
No estimate of the number or
marriages can be made because
many couples have been married
secretly. The number married pub
licly has been described as "consid-
erable" and Australian records show
a steady increase.
So far both American and Aus
tralian authorities have hesitated
to take positive action on an ad-
mittedly "touchy" problem. Several
weeks ago, however, one American
area commander issued mimeo-
graphed instructions to his Officers
and men under the heading, mar
riage."
