Writer'S War Board Hits
Dreiser's Statement
ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The
Writers War Board yesterday issued
a statement condemning Novelist
Theodore Dresser for asserting in an
interview at Toronto that he would
rather see Germans in England than
the "aristocratic horse-riding snobs
OF the existing regime"
MIR. Dresser subsequently was
barred from making a scheduled ad-
dress in Toronto.
1T was not aristocratic snobs who
rescued the British Army at Dun
kerque or who, greatly outnumbered,
blasted the Luftwaffe from the Eng
lish skies in 1910 or who stopped
Rommel in his tracks last month, -
the Writers War Board statement
said.
The people of the British Com
monwealth are fighting this war as
our brave and faithful allies, as are
the Russian people and the Chinese
people ="
Expressing regret that "an Amer
lean writer Of Mr.. 'Dreiser's emf
nence should thus insult and offend
our Allies" the statement said:
Certainly our enemies would pay
him well for his disservice to our
country's cause"
Among members of the Writer'S
War Board are Rex Stout, chair
man; Franklin P. Adams. Pearl

man, Paul Calico and John P.

Meat Rationing Aimed
At Building Up Army
Stocks, Wickard Says.
Voluntary Plan Will
Continue Until Coupon
System Storts Jan. !
By the Associated Press.

BY tne Assocleteo Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard said yesterday
the voluntary plan of meat rationing
was intended to reduce civilian con-
sumption to permit Army, Navy and
lease-lend authorities to build up
their stocks Immediately. pending
full-scale coupon ra.ioning which
vii take effect about January l.
He explained the plans of the
Food Requirements Committee of
the War Production Board at press
conference while here to address
the annual meeting of the National
Association of Food Chains.
Under the voluntary rationing
plan Starting October /, he said,
retail supplies of meat will be cut
to an average of 70 per cent of
amounts delivered during the last
quarter of 194l. If the butchers CO.
operate, Secretary Wickard said, this
should be enough to provide 21a
pounds of beef, lamb or pork a per-
sc'l each week
During the three months of volun-
tcry rationing, the machinery will
be set up for full-scale rstioning.
The Secretary said the Food Re-
quirements Committee announced
earlier this month fair sharing
among individuals could be man
aged best by coupon rationing sys-
tenn but such a system could not be
put into effect for three months or
more.
Meantime he said, "the limita-
tion order will restrict the amount
going to civilians and there is urgent
need for fair sharing"
Limitation figures for the last
three months of 1912, he said. would
mean an overall reduction of 81 per
cent below the amount of red meat
available to citizens in the last
quarter of 1941."
"In actual operation, however, the
order may not result in quite so great
a cut, for adjustments will be made
when necessary to allow for changes
during the last year in the distribu-
tion pattern and in the wartime food
requirements of different areas"

Woman, Adrift los
Days in Lifeboat,
Tells of Voyage
Suffers Mental Blackout al
Result of Trials of
Fatal Trip.

LOS ANGELES Mrs. Lily Fern
Thompson. 22-year-old survivor OF
los tragic. days on a sloop-rigged
Iifeboat in the Pacific, has recov-
cred sufficiently to recall briefly in
cidents Of the fatal trip.
Attorney Robert A. Mech Jr. said
he expects to show the young widow
the log of the Wing On this week
end. The boat disintegrated a few
hours after she was removed from il
by missionary in the Fiji islands
November "a, 1910.
Mrs. Thompson, still barely alive
was brought home March n, l841
She was suffering from mental
blackout; was too weak to walk
was bundle Of nerves despite three
months disqualification in Suva
there was question whether she
ever would see again.
In those ID months, Mech said,
Mrs. Thompson has recovered suf-
ficiently to take daily walks, enjoy
automobile rides and picture shows,
and, more remarkable, Ito tell a
good deal of what happened. She
recalls the deaths of her husband
and the others-Dave and Eve Con-
ly,' the other young couple who set
out SO gaily August IL, 1910, on a
pleasure cruise to the South Seas.
Husband Buried at Sea.
The party had rugged up a 28-foot
lifeboat and took provisions for. only
one month. They expected to sail to
Hawaii and then Samoa, but missed
both. Thompson and the Conlys,
from Oakland, Calf, never sighted
land after they left San Pedro, Calf.
they died of starvation. Clint
Thompson was the first to die, be-
cause he refused to eat SO that the
others might have the few scraps
remaining.
Thompson, 81, was buried at sea.
Mrs. Conly's body was buried in the
Fits. Conly's was lost as the boat
fell to pieces overnight after the
Rev. w. G. Ferris, a missionary at
Cuba Bay, Wanna Lavu, Fiji islands,
removed Mrs. Thompson.
Mech said Mrs. Thompson's one
wish is to live a normal life with
her two children. Tommy, 27 months
old, lives with her at her parents
home. Her daughter, Jackie, lives
a few blocks away, with her pater-
nal grandparents, but Mrs. Thomp-
son sees her daily.
On the advice of a psychiatrist,
Mrs. Thompson was given bit by bit
scraps of information obtained from
the log of the Wing On. Finally she
began to recall incidents from her
tragic trip.
Memory Returns.
She was not told of her husband S
death; nor Of the Conlys', but even
tually she remembered.
Nor was she shown any newspa-
per clippings. Nor any correspond
ence, such as this excerpt from Mr..
Ferris letter:
'She (Mrs. thompson has lived,
indeed, in the reek of death for
these weeks
She now has complete grasp OF
the entire voyage" Mech said, "bui
we hope to correlate various de-
tails by showing her, one by one,
articles from the Wing On.
