BY FRANK CAREY

up early enough in the morning
to give the war workers of the
family an adequate breakfast
and pack their lunch boxes" was
voiced today by DR.. Helen S.
Mitchell, principal nutritionist
for the Federal Security Agen-
cy's health, welfare and defense
committee.
Surveys have shown" she
said in an interview at a conven-
ton of the American Dietetic as
ISOLATION, that far too many
men and women - particularly
those who have to travel consid-
cradle distances to their places
of work-are leaving their
homes after having sketchy
breakfasts or no breakfast at all.
HER CONTRIBUTION
1.-THE home-maker should take
it upon herself as her contribu-
ton to the war effort to get up
early enough to see that there is
breakfast enough to give the
worker a good start for the day S
work"
She said that not only were
many war workers going without
adequate observation-disclosures of
them nibble on a chocolate bar
in mid-morning" - but many
were eating inadequate lunches,
often because of insufficient
lunch room facilities or their
failure to carry lunch.
Some workers, she said, have
been forced Ito the extreme Of
eating crackers and dough-nuls
or a bag of sailed peanuts and a
bottle of pop.

DR.. Robert S. Goodhart, tech

service, told the association that
many war workers were made
quately fed as judged by mod

He said a survey of LOO
workers in Southern California
showed that 81 per cent failed to
receive the diet recommended by
the food and nutrition board Of
the National Research council.
Fifty-five per cent of their diets,
he said, were poor in green and
yellow vegetables, nearly half
were deficient in citrous fruits
or tomatoes, and about a third
were poor in milk and fifth in
eggs.

The Nazi campaign In Russia
is approaching its conclusion.
The Russian armies have not
been pulverized as the German
high command hoped they would
be after several months Of in
tense pounding. II, however, the
Nazis reach their military OBJ
jectives the Red Army's fighting
power will be considerably re-
duced and 1t will have to lean
more and more heavily on ship
ments from the United States.
Pincers on Suez Feared.
With the Russians main oil
resources already cut of and the
richest portions of the U. s. s. r.
in the hands of the enemy, We
shall be compelled to ship cloth
ing, fuel and food for Russias
millions In addition to tanks,
planes and artillery. This will
require an even larger number of
cargo ships and tankers than is
now being employed to carry
supplies.
The campaign In the Near and
Middle East has just begun.

Marshall Erwin Rommel will be
able to break through the Allied
line before Alexandria. But
some concern Is felt in Washing

globe; bake enough bread to
make pyramids stretching the
whole length of the Suez Canal,
and that If our pork were made
into single ham, it would take
a feet of aircraft carriers to
move it.
Mr.. Disney does not exaggerate
the food resources of this coun-
try, but If the film breaks
simultaneously with increased
food rationing measures, the pub
lie is sure to become confused.
This week we learned that,
beginning four months from now,
meat is to be rationed to two and
half pounds per person per
week.
What is it all about? Is there
really a shortage of meat justi-
flying more coupons for house
holders to keep track of? The
figures published in the an
nouncement on Tuesday do not
explain.
They tell us that the average
consumption in the decade 1881
to 1910 was 131 pounds per capita
per year. In 1941 civilian con-
sumption increased to 142
pounds. The rationing proposed
amounts to 1870 pounds. That
means that we must 60 back to
the average of the last 10 years
and eat a pound per month under
this years average.
Meat Production Higher.
IT this Is all we have to give
up, coupon rationing is ridicu-
lous. Retailers should be given
quotas and the public spared a
great deal of inconvenience.
At the same time, we are told
that the meat production this
year is the highest in American
history. The reason for ration
ing Is vaguely given as supplying
our armed forces and Allies.
1t seems to me that this Is
another example OF bad public
relations.
The measure makes more sense
than the Government has taken
trouble to explain. First of all,
very few people understand why
the armed forces should create
a meat shortage. For they are
our boys, and have always been
eating.
AS I did not understand the
matter, called up an expert.
From him I learned that meat in
one form or another is the basic
concentrated food of all armies,
and that the German Army of
100000 men consumes more
meat than 100000 German
civilians.
am strongly in favor of our
soldiers eating more meat than
the Germans, or than we at
home, and so am satisfied.

The Great Game of Politics
70 Pct. Reduction in Poy Rolls Of All Agencies
Declared Best Way to Run War Efficiently

manning of the war machine. The
extent to which this has been done
is unprecedented and indefensible.
1t is the real reason the organiza-
ton functions so feebly. 1t is the
real reason it bogs down in so many
places. There are In Washington
today many thousands of people
connected with the Government
who should not be here. There are
fifty or sixty thousand men and
women on the payroll who not only
have no useful work to do but who
interfere with others who have.
No corporation, business, factory,
store or family, overstaffed as is
this machine, could function at all.
Conceive, for example, of news
paper with one publisher but 40
managing editors, 400 assistant man
aging editors, 1,100 city editors, 5000
assistant city editors, a thousand
foremen in the composing room, 900
night editors and 100000 reporters.
Conceive of hotel with one man
ager, 81 assistant managers, 5000
desk clerks, 1000 telephone girls.
These are not fantastic comparisons.
Actually, they give fairly accurate
picture of the. situation as it exists
In Washington.
Not long ago, wise and patri-
otto man, who has been here for
a long time at considerable sacri-
f1ce, was informally comforting with
half dozen administration
aides. Everybody agreed that things
were in pretty bad state.
"Conceding," this man was asked,
that the mess is not only bad but
dangerous. what would you do, If
you had the power, to straighten
things out?" Well" was the
thoughtful reply, "the first thing I
would do would be to go through
every department and agency and
reduce personnel 10 per cent, not
in the interests of economy but
solely in the interests OF efficiency"
1t is significant that after some
hesitation every one in the group
agreed with him. The fact Is that
that remark went to the root of the
trouble. No informed man possibly
could disagree. Even II no more
brains were taken in, If personnel
was reduced 10 per cent, efficiency
would be increased 100 per cent.
There are here thousands of men
busily undoing the work of other
thousands. There are many more
thousands whose work exactly du-
plicates that of as many more thou
sands-or conflicts with it. There
are many more thousands with lit
tie or nothing to do who find. them
selves in contact with similar thou
sands who have just as little to do
but have been here longer.
This immense overmanning Is the
ceal menace to our safety. It is the
real reason the full power and re-
sources of the Nation are not being
made to count. 1t Is the greatest
Evening star., 1942-09-04

the war machine Is of overwhelming
Importance. The right of the peo-
pie to expect the utmost competency
from it Is as clear as their right to
information as to where and how 1t
falls short.
Now, no one in the administration,
except for purely propaganda pur-
poses, contends that the war man
agement Is nearly as competent rs
1t should be. Those in position to
have a detached view know that its
inef11ciency is almost incredible; that
the confusion Is beyond description
and that, compared to its size and
effort. the results are shockingly
small.
War, of course, Is waste and no
one expects 100 per cent efficiency,
either abroad or at home. But the
blunt truth is that, allowing for the
greater magnitude of the present
war, the way in which we are man
aging this one does not compare
we'll with the way we managed the
last one-though Heaven knows, no
one contends that that was as we'll
managed as 1t should have been.
Why? Why is this war less we'll
managed than the last one? Why
is the proportionate waste greater
and why are the results less salts
factory? Why are things, generally,
in the kind of mess that was avoided
last time?
There are two obvious answers
One Is that in this war we have
failed to profit by the experience OF
the last one. We have disregarded
its lessons and repeated It's blunders.
Another is that we have not, as in
the last war, enlisted the best avail
able brains in the country, irrespec-
tive of party. Some of the most
capable OF our citizens, anxious to
make their full contribution, are
barred from the war effort because
of White House personal or political
distaste.
But, there is another reason even
more basic. 1t consists of the really
absurd, not to say terrifying, over
Evening star., 1942-09-04

the eyes Of the people In both
countries. That the olive branch
will have many thorns and that
the peace dove will be . poorly
camoufaged vulture is certain.
Many representatives of the
United Nations in Washington
are worried lest the real mean
ing of the Fuehrer's peace terms
escape the American people.
These diplomats say their co,ln-
tries are already devastated un-
der the Nazi boot. Hence, there
is nothing left for them to do
but fight. But they fear that
the American people. who have
suffered for the most part eco
nomically in this war, might be
inclined to listen to what the
Nazf leader has to say.

Eor|y Announcement Of Meat Rotioninq Seen
As Pussyfootine to Wartime Bosis

I also found that we are send
ing vast shipments of food to the
Russian civilians and army as
well as to the British, Russia has
lost her chief food areas-a
larger percentage Of food than of
population. So, part of your
food and mine must go to feed
the Russian Army and keep 1t
in the war. Considering what
they have done to our Nazi
enemy thus far, Lam willing and
even anxious to give them part
of my meat.
We have armies and parts of
armies scattered all over the
world, and we must feed them.
But why not ship the food, as it
is produced, to our armies and
Allies? The answer is, when one
thinks of it, simple. 1t is neces-
sary now to build up huge stocks,
both for our Allies, and our dis
tant troops.
When our war begins in earn
est and we open a second front,
we shall need all our shipping
for troops and war material, and
must not be bothered about food.
So we must now turn meat into
bully beef and other army ra-
tions, and accumulate it where
we shall need it months from
now.
Not Enough, Says Expert.
But, these facts being what
they are, / asked my expert: Is
the rationing of two and one
half pounds of meat per week.
to go into effect four months
from now. drastic enough?
And he answered, mo. We
ought to ration not only meat
but fats and oils, and on a more
meager basis"
So my next question is: What
sort of an effect has the an
nouncement that there will be
rationing four months from now
on that very representative
American listed as housewife?
Will the announcement encour-
age her to save or buy?
Since she has four months of
plenty, the announcement will
encourage her to buy. If she
lives in the country, she will keep
her meat at home, salted, picked
or artificially refrigerated. So
meat consumption or boarding
will reach peak in the next
four months, human nature be-
ing what 1t is.
So I ask myself: Why announce
a measure like this four months
in advance?
Sounds Out Public.
This Is all detective story.
with me in the double role of
Sherlock Holmes and DR.. Wat
son, but I recognize a familiar
pattern. This Administration
likes to sound out" the public.
Instead of giving good common
sense reasons for drastic meas
ure and then applying 1t imme-
diately, trusting to the toughness
and reasonableness of the Ameri-
can people. 1t likes to break
things easy. And IL they don't
break easy. then it compromises,
after a lot Of talk.
The Administration apparently
does not yet understand that this
is our war, not its war. Also.
that we like to know exactly why
we have to make what are called
sacrifices.
AS for me. I grew up In q
Methodist parsonage where we
had meat only twice week any,
how, and my health at more
years than I care to mention is
perfect.

Representatives OF the Allied
and neutral governments In
Washington are as keenly inter-
ested In the forthcoming elec-
tons as they are the communi-
aues from the various battle
fronts.
Their governments have re-
quested them to give as clear a
picture as they can piece to-
gether of the November congress
sional campaign. In many ways
the present political battle is
even more interesting to most
foreign governments than the
ls40 presidential election.
The reason for this keen inter-
est Is that Hitler is expected to
make another peace proposal
within the next few weeks, and
the character of the new Con-
gress will determine how great
attention that proposal will re-
ceive In this country.
