DJ FRANCES Lac.
As they face the prospects of in
creased rationing of food products
this Thanksgiving season. Americans
have the comfort of knowing that
they do it voluntarily because they
are dividing up with those who are
fighting.
This was emphasized by Grover
B. Hill, Assistant Secretary of Agri-
culture. in talk yesterday before
the Women's National Press Club.
Mr. Hill pointed out that we
already have produced the greatest
harvest that this or any other nation
has ever achieved. 1t was done
under difficulties, he said, which
will increase each year that the
war goes on. But the fact that it
was done SO successfully this year
is assurance, he said, that food pro-
duction can be carried on under
difficulties.
Regardless of how much food is
produced, however, it still will not
be enough because food is becoming
cne of the greatest offensive weap-
ons, the Assistant Secretary de-
clared
ITO promise people food is a better
way to win them over than threats
of invasion" he said. And every
victory we win will require more
food for the people we have con-
quered."
Mr. Hill declared that butter is
one of the items of which there will
be a shortage regardless of the
extent of production. In answer
to questions, he said that meat may
be the next food rationed and that
there probably would be some form
OF milk rationing.
We'll do good bit of complain
Ing he predicted, but it will be
good-natured sort of complaining. :"
In pointing to the Nations food
production record. Mr.. Hill declared
that as a result of years of agricul-
tural study we have the best trained
people in the world in the produc-

Walker Defends
DPW Employees

William NJ. Walker Jr., Detroit
commissioner of public works
Saturday stoutly defended DPW
employees who are the object o'
an investigation by Prosecutor
William f. Bowling.
Bowling is probing reports that
contractors trucks capable OF
carrying 10 yards of sand or
gravel in many instances carried
as little as eight yards. Super
visors for the DPW are alleged,
however. to have signed receipts
listing the load as full 10 yards.
In denying this, Walker pointed
out that since he took office the
cost of moving materials TO and
from DPW projects has been cut
from So TO 81 cents a yard.
whatever critics of our pres
ent plan say. the fact remains
that IL Is saving us money In the
long run" Walker said.
