American Medical Association it was pointed
out that what sometimes is called a shot
gun" administration Of vitamns TO every
worker which means that all the vitamins
supplied in pills and the individual goes
right ahead and eats whatever ne wants is
not sound from an economic or health stand
point and a couple of pills day cannot sup
ply all the energy needed
Everyone must have a certain number of
calories of food each day depending on the
amount of work he is going 10 do.
Then. too. beside the important and Well
known vitamins. natural foods may contain
many essential food substances which man,
with all his scientific delving, has not yet un-
earthed.
Such unknown substances, obviously. until
they known, can't be put into pills. But
in the meantime the concentrates help might
lily.
Instead Of digging into their jeans for
money TO dose employees with every known
vitamin, whether they need II or not, it has
been suggested that all leaders Of industry
could help more efficiently by carrying on re-
search programs similar TO that Of Or. Bor-
sock and by teaching people what TO eat. This
can be done by displaying posters showing
what foods are essential, how TO combine them
into useful menus how TO get these food es-
sentials from plant and animal sources that
are not beyond the reach of the pocketbook
and so on.
Balanced hot lunches might be served too.
Here is a list Of the minimum essential
foods a person should eat every day, as pre-.
pared by the Office Of Defense Health and
Welfare Services.
They are: Meat. one egg, one pint of milk
(three-fourths to one quart for growing chill
dren) two vegetables tgreen, leafy or yell
low and a potato, an orange or tomato juice

Speculate in Capital on United Nations Su-

WASHINGTON, July s - Some high Inter -allied personages here are sreculating on the possibility that an American, possibly Gen. George c. Marshall, U. s. Chief of Staff, might some day become Su- preme Commander of all the United Nations Land, Air and Sea forces throughout the world.
 So far no official move has been made toward creating a Supreme Conn, ander but it can be said for the idea that some important people who refuse to permit the use of their names, either expect or hope that the commander, assuming the job goes to an American, which both British and American sources here do assume, might not neces- sarily be Marshall
 Other possibilities include Admir- al William Leahy or Gen. Douglas MacAltnur.

In the fifteen -day-old battle of Egypt, the British announced that their patrols of flying columns slashed into Marshal Erwin Rom mel's armies all day yesterday, de- stroying Axis tanks and capturing prisoners.
 Overhead, swarms of Royal Air Force warplanes bombed and ma chine gunned Axis troops grouped in a 35 mile wide "bottleneck' 70 miles west of Alexandria.
 Dispatches from Cairo said that there have been no major attacks by either side Both forces are sav- ing tteir heavy punches for the decisive battle expected at any time.
 Italian headquarters asserted that a strong British force has been repulsed with heavy losses. Stock holm dispatches from Berlin indi- cated uneasiness of the Nazi capital over Rommel's position.
 One report said that Rommel is in difficulty because his troops are exhausted by their $50 mile sweep across the sands of Tobruk while Gen. Claude Auchinleck's Armies have teen revitalized by fresh troops drawn from the Middle East.

WASHINGTON, July 8-It hasn't even been hinted yet, but several government departments are work ing on a food bonus plan for de- pendants of men called into the armed forces.
 It will be some sort of varia- ton of the food stamp plan and therein lies reason for the delay in bringing it to public attention Agriculture, OPA, WIPE, and the Army all are afraid that tlIe pup lie will think of it in terms of a dole. That might be fatal to the morale of dependents whose bread winners are in military service.
 If and when the government agencies involved can be certain that the terminology of their plan won't bring psychological repercus- sions from the public, minor differ ences will be ironed out and the plan will be laid before Congress.
 The idea would be to issue food atamps, either as an additional bonus or as part of the dependency payments made to wives and child fen of men called into military ser- vice. These would be redeemable for all merchandise Cor perhaps under certain terms beneficial to the pur- chaser for surplus commodity mer- ehandise). sold in grocery stores The government would take them up, paying the stores out of funds set aside for reimbursement ol de-

The w ashingtOn Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WESTINGHOUSE Marshal Rom mel'5 army eats farther into Egypt, U. s. oil experts face the un- pleasant possibility of blowing up wells producing millions of barrels of oil in Mosul, Iran and Iraq.
 For the chief strategy of the AL lies has been to cut Hitler off from oil-oil in the Caucasus, oil in the Near and Middle East, meanwhile bombing his oil supplies in Ru- mania So if Rommel's forces get near these oil fields, they must be wrecked at all cost.
 And what frankly worries U. s. oil experts is that they may not be destroyed. It is generally known that British oil wells in Rumania fell into Hitler's hands in complete working order. U. s. oil-men had been sent all the way from Texas for the express purpose of touch- ing them off with nitroglycerine. But the British decided Rumania was neutral, so nothing was done.
 In Java, however, very careful preparations were made. This time there was no neutrality to worry anyone. Japan had attacked, and there were about two months in which to prepare the dynamiting of the Dutch East Indies oil wells.
 But this time, though it never leaked out, something happened. The Standard Vacuum wells were completely destroyed-in the face of enemy machine gun fire. Ameri- can oil equipment and property val ned at $l50,000,000 went up in smoke But the Shell Company's wells were not wrecked. Later the British reported that this was due to a slight error in judgment"
 Naturally, therefore, the fate of the Near Eastern wells causes con- cern. Most of them are British, and this time no one wants another error in judgment, no matter how slight. For such an error would put millions of barrels of oil immediate ly into the hands of Hitler.

German Break al Voronezh Is Reported Tonight

Marshal Simeon Timoshenko's Ar- mics, recoiling after an initial shock assault of 100000 German troops, are pictured by Soviet dispatches as checking the 120 mile Nazi break through in the heights west of Vor- onezh, inflicting terrific losses on the invaders.
 Red Army headquarters ignored the official German claim that Voronezh had fallen. declaring the battle is still raging before the key city of the Moscow -Rostov Railway.
 The Russian communique said that mere than 5000 Germans are dead is. the battle areas and that 35 tanks have been destroyed.
 However, bulletin from Hitler's headquarters asserted that strong Russian forces are encircled behind voronczh and that the front gap of Soviet lines has been widened.
 Tonight's Report
 Russian reports tonight from the front, received in Moscow, said counter attacking of the Red Army has resulted in the wiping out of the German bridgehead on the east bank oi the Don River in the bit terly contested voronezh sector.
 The night communique also says the Red Army has successfully re- pulsed all further enemy attempts to cross the stream and all land- ings on the east bank have been wiped out.

ures. In the desire to get sum-
cient manpower for the Army,
for instance, there was talk OF
drafting some 10000, 900 men, q
figure which took little account
Of farm and industrial needs.
The Army and Navy were ask
ing for raw materials with which
to build . gigantic war machine,
and took into consideration the
potential, rather than the actual,
capacity Of our industries, which
had just begun to gear them
selves for war.
This situation is well on the
way to being taken care OF, un-
less unexpected disturbing ele-
melts intervene. The efforts Of
industry and the armed forces
are being directed by President
Roosevelt, who will be advised
by a very small group Of nom
political men, who will take into
consideration the actual capacity
Of industry and the requirements
Of the armed forces.
When, for instance, Army ord
nance asks for so and so many
more tanks or the Navy for q

production and there is no longer
so much talk about subordinate
ing the strategic conceptions Of
our military and naval men to
the demands Of politics and COM
mitments. The war is growing
on us and the setup which now
exists in Washington is begin
ming to function.
Many bottlenecks still exist, but
before the end of the year 1t is
fully expected that the obstacles
which have caused 50 many head
aches will be overcome.
Until recently the fighting
forces were at loggerheads with
the production chiefs. The blame
was almost evenly divided. The
fighting services were demanding
a lot OF materiel which could not
be easily produced. The heads of
the production branches threw
up their hands, and the result
was production far below what
1t could have been.
Optimism Clouded Foresixht.
We entered this war totally un-
prepared, not only as far as fight
ing materiel is concerned, but
also in respect to organization of
production. Many important in
dustrialists were lulled into the
optimistic belief that it would be
all over by the end of 1912 and
any one who ventured a different
opinion was considered q pessi-
mist or defeatist.
This belief was strengthened
by the ill-advised optimism
voiced by highly placed onicials
or men in the administration or
in Congress who claimed to have
inside dope" When 1t became
obvious that these pious wishes
would be frustrated, near-panic
ensued. Responsible officials
turned to talking in colossal fig-
