World Farm Program
Urged 10 Assure Food
For All After War
international Committees
Suggested to Regulate
Production and Marketing
By the Associated Press.

~ VIZ SAaeOdSHAC
An international farm program to
furnish food in plenty for the whole
postwar world and avert economic
chaos among Its peoples was advo-
Gated today by. the Office Of foreign
agricultural relations.
International committees OF pro-
ducers and consumers would be set
up under the program to regulate
production, marketing and prices of
al major farm commodities through
out the world.
The warning nations have dis
torted the normal economic patterns
Of agriculture in their efforts to
making production tit war needs,
said the ONCE which Is under the
Agriculture Department. As Z con-
sequence many countries, particu-
larry In German-controlled Europe,
are not now producing products
which they are best suited to pro-
duce.
AS examples, the Office cited Euro
pean efforts to become self sufficient
in production of wheat, vegetable
oil crops and fiber crops.
THE dangers of social repercus-
sions resulting from economic malad-
justment Of production in the post
war period are tremendous" it was
said. IF the full productive ca
pacity Is utilized, without planning
to meet the actual needs, large sur
pluses may be expected to pile up
that may again cause prices to COL
lapse under pressure.
IF production, on the other hand,
Is cramped into pre-war consumption
patterns, unrest will inevitably arise
from unemployment and low stand
ards OF living IN the cities and
farms"
The office expressed the belief that
the experience which governments
are obtaining in controlling produc-
ton could be utilized In setting up
q postwar production program de-
signed to provide for much greater
consumption.
Fortunately, it is not necessary
that super-state be set up to regu-
late agriculture throughout the
world, for adequate machinery is
largely already in existence" it said.
1T is essential, however, that gov
ernments orient their existing con-
trolls toward the achievement OF a
common goal, namely, the utiliza-
ton Of productive capacity to meet
first the nutritional needs of all
classes Of people"

photo reconnaissance mission over
Gabes on the Tunisian coast to-
day fought its way out of an am
push by five Messerschmitt 10o- o-Gs
shot down one of the attackers and
returned home safely.
Inc Messerschmitt was DESTROYED

But other attackers, meanwhile
pumped bullets into the American
plane, commanded by Mai. Wayne
q. Thurman, Galloway, Nebr.
AS 1t landed at its base, ground
crews anxiously looked over the
nose, where the .30-caliber machine
gun was torn out of place. That
was the work, however, of the nav
lgator. 1t. Richards B. Paul, Boston
1t. Paul explained: Il saw an
ME coming down on us. The little
gun got in the way of nv 5o-cali-

Fires visible for IS miles were left
burning among the oil tanks. Par.
ticularly heavy damage was reported
done to the railroad yards and ware
houses on the quays of this impor-
tant communications port at the top
Of the Gulf Of Gabes, l40 miles
south of Tunis.
1t was the first operational fight
OF this squadron, and all of its planes
came home safely.
Texan Led Flight.
The flight leader was Mai. David
M. Jones Of Winters, Tex, who won
the Distinguished Flying Cross for
his role IN the bombing of Toxic
Another veteran of the Toxic at
tack, 1t. Richard Miller of Fort
Wayne, Ind, also participated.
Maj. Jones reported after his re-
turn here I'VE sure plastered them,
but never saw an enemy plane. We
got some flax from the ground. We
hit dock installations and started
some good oil fires"
I'VE got good hits on the railroad
tracks," he said. Two or three of
us went down as low as Is to so feet,
machine-gunning the yards, and saw
a lot OF damage. After we dropped

Corpl. Kenneth Daugherty of

Series tickets.
Four tobacco shops in a row that

American automatic lighters, OF the

The most difficult problem for
Americans here is finding apart
ments equivalent to those in the
United States. For instance, in
stead of a neatly furnished modern
apartment with refrigeration which
rents for about $75 month, you
have small choice of flats in
drafty. unheated, converted man
sions without refrigeration and in
completely furnished. Such a fiat
costs 500 month.
Dwellings are scarce despite the
considerable exodus from London.
There are no taxes on unoccupied
buildings, so many owners simply
closed their properties for the dura-
ton.

four pages and carry little United

hordes Of uniforms and the black
outs, London looks much like peace
time. The most conspicuous de-
tails are that the fronts of build
ings are dirty-everyone is too busy
to clean them-and there are many
establishments which look closed
but which are really open. They
are only operating behind boarded
fronts for blackout convenience and
for bomb protection.
War Hasn't Upset Courtesy.
The bomb damage is inconspic-
uous until you visit certain few
sections where several adjacent
blocks were razed by delayed action
bombs or by fires started by in
cendiary bombs.
And the war hasn't upset the
courtesy of the English, which is so
intense that it makes the rough and
ready Americans blush

cautiously driven taxicabs still
screech to a stop and the driver
apologies to suicidal pedestrians.
The major difference of every
day life in London is in the food.
People are rationed to 20 cents
worth of meat per week, and to
three pints of thin milk and q
pound of candy. Sausages contain
an unseemly amount of bread
crumbs. but there has been Amer
ican canned pressed ham which is
priced item.
The restaurants ration books need
not be presented, but they are re-
stricted by an ingenious system of
serving what amounts to a sub
sistence meal. A three-course din
ner has a maximum 81 charge, but
the fancy places are allowed an
extra 81 cover charge.
Poultry and Fish Dishes,
A typical menu at Simpsons. once
among the worlds leading restau-
rants, offers four entrees-ham,
pigeon pie, chicken and cold duck.
Poultry and fish are the reigning
dishes, although few establish
ments use sort of "speakeasy"
method to produce a steak dinner

BY GLADWIN HILL,

WlQe WOTlQ.
LONDON, Sept. 18.-In England
today you get a much stronger con-
viction that the war is being won
by the United Nations than you felt
back in the United States.
This feeling comes partly from
knowledge that the planes droning
overhead were not going out only to
scout for submarines, but that they
are definitely going across to drop
bombs on Germany. Part of it
comes also from the fact that half
the people, both men and women,
seem to be in uniform, and the
other half are equally preoccupied
with their part in the war.
But the feeling comes mostly from
the spirit of the people; with the
enemy only 27 miles away and with
rations cut to a single egg week
per person. there still is mass
spirit of unified and purposeful con-
fidence 1t is a feeling in evident
contrast to some of the differences
seen in the United States with
squabbles over gasoline ration cards
or how to make synthetic rubber.
Contrast Understandable.
The contrast is understandable.
England, with one third the popu-
lation of the United States, is more
homogeneous, more compact. far
easier to mobilize into a total war
program. And England has had
three years of rugged experience
in fighting war in which to iron
out kinks as compared with the
nine months in which the United
States has been working out solu-
tions to its own war problems.
These advantageous factors have
helped set English faces uniformly
in that characteristic faraWay look
of dogged determination which once
led some one to observe that "the
British Empire was acquired in a
fit of observation-disclosures" 1t is a
CLASSY, inscrutable countenance, but
it is mystically reassuring. When
the English, who constantly half
expect the Nazis to reattempt an
other air blitz, say they can take it,
you get the feeling that it is use
less for the German bombers to
take off.
England seems little shaken by its
tribulations to date. Except for the

South Pacific, President Roosevelt's

and Mickey Rooney's divorce suit.
There have been occasional slight
annoyances at Americans where this
unusual concentration has Jared
ancient English ways. I heard one
Englishman grumble to his wife that
the spryer Americans were monopo-
lizing taxicabs in the blackouts. At
one OF the major hotels they were
inclined to be bit brusque about
the fact that Americans like water
with their meals. but this irritation
at American habits is quickly cooled
by paraphrasing Bruce BARNS

Inland Steel Weighs
Court Test Of Powers
OF War Labor Board
Vice President Forecasts
Possible Bottle on
Union Maintenance

Convinced that a losing fight is
being waged before the War Labor
Board, whcih is holding a hearing
on the demand of the C. l. o. Steel
Workers Organizing Committee for
a 81 day increase and union security
in the plants of So-Called little
steel" the Inland Steel Co., one Of
the parties to the proceedings, is
contemplating test of the boards
powers in the courts, newspapermen
were told yesterday by Clarence B.
Randall, vice president.
Inland, Mr.. Randall said at
press conference at the Carlton,
does not believe that the board,
lacking congressional sanction, has
the right to determine the relation
ship between unions and industry,
despite the fact that it has done so
in three previous cases in which
union maintenance" was granted
and the possibilities of a court fight
are being studied with this idea in
mind.
Legal authorities, he explained,
are not certain IL TIC tOlllpdllS
could institute legal proceedings to
test the authority of the board,
which was set up on executive order
under the War Powers Act, "but I
am having the question studied as to
whether the general equity powers
of the Federal courts are sufficient
to provide for such a review"
Fears Disregard of Facts.
While unwilling to say fatty that
he expects the four steel companies
Mr.. Randall says there is no little
steel'-to lose before the board, he
asserted that the record thus far
made by the board leads me to be-
lieve that they intend to impose
some form of union maintenance,
regardless of the facts in any given
case"
The union maintenance principle
requires union members to retain
membership in order to hold their
jobs.
Involved in the present proceed
ings, in addition to Inland, are Beth
lehem, Republic and Youngstown
Sheet and Tube Mr.. Randall said,
however, that Inland will determine
Evening star., 1942-05-07

to sign an agreement several months
ago when the wage and unionism
issues were injected.
Mr.. Randall said there was now
no dispute over wages, and that
the company would pay the increase
without question. The Govern
ment, he added, will bear 1915 per
cent of this beca of the loss of
excess profits taxes the companies
otherwise would pay.
The steel companies and the
union recently completed presenta-
ton of their case at an eight-week
session held behind closed doors by
panel named by the War Labor
Board. After this panel files its
report the board will hold a pub
lie hearing. This is expected to be
in June.
Mr.. Randall said the press con-
ference gave him the opportunity
to pop off" that had been denied
during the panel hearing because
by mutual agreement the htigants
imposed secrecy to facilitate the
proceedings.
