Diet Of Workers In
 War Plants Studied
Physical Fitness Vital Factor in Obtaining Maximum
 Production of Essentials; Recommendations Made

The physical fitness of men and women whose activities have been stepped up by war work Is so closely related to the adequacy of their diet that scientific agencies, workers and employers should give special consideration to the problem, ace cording to the weekly bulletin of the state department of health.
 The nede for adequate food and eating facilities in war plants is em- phasized in a recent report of the committee on nutrition in industry of the National Research Coucil. Attention is called to the following recommendations:
 "1. Nutritious meals of natural foods at prices the workers are ac- customed to and can afford to pay should be made available in all plants engaged in production for war or defense purposes, except in small plants where the worker may obtain such meals from private sources in the free time at his dis- posal. Any meal served in the plant should contribute at les tone-third of the daily requirements of spe- ceflc nutrients recommended by the food and nutrition board of the National Research Council.
 "2. The practice of serving food between meals to workers has given l good results and is recommended. Milk, fruit and tomato juices are to be preferred as beverages and other foods which are served should in- clude the necessary nutrients. Thus, when bread is served 1t should be enriched white bread or 8 whole grain product.
 "S. Choice of foods served in the plant should be determined by a trained dietitian or nutTitionist. Brief study of workers diets will en- able the dietitian to make up menus calculated to compensate for the ordianry inadequacies. The employ ment of 8 dietitian or nutritionist by the plant is recommended. In cases where this is not feasible, ad- vice may be obtained from the state or local Committee on Nutrition.
 A. Suitable educational material should be presented in connection with cafeteria service or supple mentary lnunches to stimulate ac- ceptance of the meals planned or the selection of good meals when there is a choice of foods. Such ma- terisl should be so planned as to lead to the development of good health habits and should avoid In- due emphasis on any particular food.
 "5. Measures should be taken by the appripriate subdivision of gov- ernment to condition nutritionally those classes of the population which are likely to become workers in war or defense industries. Such nutri- tional conditioning might well be carried out among organized groups such as are found in eco camps, IVA, WPA and Defense Training Schools. The large percentage of young men found to be unfit for service in the armed forces em- phasizes the need for such condi- tioning, for employment in war in- dustries may be just as strenuous and in far less favorable environ- ment than service in the armed forces. Such work, already under way in this country, should be greatly extended.

Ex-GOvERNORS HE FOR TEXAS
 SENATE BERTH

Austin, Tex, May z7 = (UP.) = Three former Texas governors -- James V. Alfred, Dan Moody and W. Lee ODaniel-are running for kl1e same U. s. Senate seat this year and Texans anticipate some flrst- Dlass political fireworks.
 All three are seeking election to . full six-year term which begins next January. O'Daniel has the seat now, for he won it last summer in 2 special election to hllsout the In- expired term of the late Morris Sheppard.
 ODanieI, 62-year-old ex-Kansan, rose to political heights as a radio philosopher selling flour to the strains of his bill-billy band. He was elected governor in 1888 over L2 opponents, winning majority In the first primary-an unprece- dented feat in Texas. Two years later, he was reelected.
 AIlerd Was In Navy
 After Sheppard's death, ODan- iel announced for the Senate and vacated the governors office after his election in July, 1941. In that campaign O'Daniel had his closest call, as he led young Congressman Lydon B. Johnson of Austin by few thousand votes and Attorney General Gerald c. Mann ran Strong third.
 Alfred, 43, a sailor in World War [, has been 8 friend of President Roosevelt for a decade. In 1881, Alfred was elected attorney general of Texas, an office he filled for two terms. After that, he served pair of two-year terms as governor. In 1889, President Roosevelt appointed him as federal district judge in the Houston district.
 Moody Beat Ferguson
 Alfred resigned from the judge ship, effective May IS, on the same date that he announced for the Senate.
 Moody, 49 years old, won his spurs as 8 crusading campaigner against the then politically -formid- Miriam A. Ferguson, who donli- mated Texas elections for more than 8 decade. During the Ferguson era, Moody was their only successful opponent.
 After serving two years (1925-2D as attorney general Moody de- feated Mrs. Ferguson for the, gov- ernorship in 1927 and served until 1881, when his support helped elect Ross s. Sterling as governor. Mrs. Ferg(Bon was reelected in 1883 and retired in 1885.
 Sec RunOR Election
 With three proven vote-getters In one race, the campaign likely will hinge on their personal popularity. However, Allred's opening state- ElenE indicated that O'Daniel's for- mer isolationlsm will be attacked along with the senator's acknow~ ledged opposition to some of the New Deals domestic policies.
 Opaniel particularly has sup ported legislation to outlaw strikes. Union labor has opposed him in past campaigns. While the Texas union labor vote in the past has been relatively small, 1t probably will be more potent this year be- caues of an influx of union men to work on war projects.
 Political observers predict that If all. three candidates remain in the race-a runoff election will be necessary. The first Democratic primary will be held July 25 and the gglnoH primary August 22.

DEALERS FACE GAS SHORTAGE
Local AutOists May Be Obliged to Discontinue
 Driving Until June

Shortage of gasoline by many dealers was reported today, with some stations having exhausted an their available supplies and others having only a small quantity on hand. Tn most cases dealers cannot secure additional supplies until flaeix June quotas are available.
 On the other hand, 6 number of stations reported that they had enough gasoline on hand to take care of all corners.
 Delivery of June quotas begins ob Monday. May supplies, which are only half of those normally used by dealers, were greatly depleted in the last-minute rush of thousands of car owners ot fill up their tanks before gasoline rationang went into effect recently.

Infestation Of Boil
WeeviI Found less
On Date Than 1941

Although boil weevils are general
sippi, the infestation is considerably
less than on this date in 1941, ac-
cording to the State Plant Board.
Inspectors of the Board and Govern
ment entomologists examined 100
farms in 43 counties during the past
week, finding weevils on 60 of them.
On "a of these the weevils ave
aged SO per cent as compared with
90 per acre a week ago and 384
per acre on this date last year. The
remaining "a infested farms had
squares large enough for puncturing
with an average of z percent infes-
tation as compared with II percent
last year.
Few ~infestations were found in
the counties along the northern bor-
der of the State and in some Delta
counties but elsewhere the infesta-
ton was rather general though light.
In Washington County weevils aver
aged A per acre as compared with
40 per acre in 1941. Only on one
farm out of the 100 was the infesta-
ton high enough to warrant poison
ing.
Calcium arsenate manufacturers
are promising more shipments in
early July, and Clay Lyle, entomo-
logist of the Board, says present in
dications are that most of the State
will profit by waiting until around
Che middle Of July before poisonig.
Farmers who are getting impatient
and wanting to use lead arsenate are
beig advised by DR.. Lyle to wait for
calcium arsenate, as the lead ar
senate is not as poisonous as cal
cium a~rsenate although twice as ex-
rensive usually. If lead arsenate is
used it should not be diluted at all.

Canning Public Gets
More Sugar Than Is
Needed Says Director
Merchants Asked To
Cooperate In Sugar
Rotioning for Coming

Major w. E. Holcomb, State OPA
Director. stated today hat it had
been called to his attention that a
number of persons in the State had
probably over-estimated their need
for sugar for canning purposes at
the time they applied for their sugar
canning rationing certificates and
that because of this have certificates
emitting them to receive more sugar
than they will actually use for can
ming purposes. He further stated
that it had been called to his at
tention that some retail merchants
have declined to sell sugar to these
persons unless they purchased the
entire amount permitted in their
canning rationing certificate.
The State OPA Office is there
fore requesting and urging all per-
sons who have these certificates per-
hitting the receiving of more sugar
than will be actually used by the
holder thereof in canning, that the
holder purchase from his supplier
only that amount which is actually
needed for the purposes for which
the certificate was issue, regardless
Of the amount stipulated in the GER
tificate. At the time he purchase the
entire certificate should be surrend-
red to the seller with an erdors~
ment made thereon by the purchaser
as to the actual amount received
from the seller. The seller should
give the purchaser a receipt show
ing the actual amount Of sugar de.
livered under the certificate. When
the seller surrenders the certificate
to his supplier, he will be entitled
to receive only the amount delivered
to the consumer as shown by the en-.
dorsement on the back if the GER.

The merchants are asked to coop

Major Holcomb further stated that
the OPA is anxious for the citizens
of this state to use their allowable
quota for canning. but at the same
time there is a scarcity of sugar and
in order that this country's war eff
fort may be prosecuted to the full
lest advantage, it is necessary tina,
4! the sugar stocks of this country be
conserved. The State OPA Office is
therefore urging the citizens of this
State not to purchase any more su.
gar than will be actually used for
canning purposes. He called to the
attention of the public that thes'
sugar certificates cannot be trans

or sale and neither can the actua
