Mr. Fulmer said the committee
probably would make public it's find
ings next week and possibly might
recommend enactment of legislation
to meet the growing manpower
shortage. He did not know, he said.
what form the legislation could
take, but some members have ex-
pressed favor for national service
legislation to make every able
bodied person work or fight.
About all we got from our inves-
tigation and from our questioning

Secretary of Agriculture Wickard

selective service director, is the con-
viction that no governmental agency
has given agriculture It's proper con-
sideration," Mr.. Fulmer said.
Everyone seems to be interested
in something else. with the result
that agriculture has been neglected"
he added.
Aiken Says We Can Lose.
Senator Aiken, Republican, of Ver-
mont, said last night a shortage of
food would make it possible for us
to lose the war, and unless some
present policies are revised. I think
we will be in grave danger of that
very thing"
Speaking on a radio broadcast
Senator Aiken said that the new
nti-inflation act will have some
favorable effect on agricultural pro-
duction If it is applied in the man
ner in which Congress intends"
He said If the new price control
legislation Is properly applied it will
in great many cases permit farm
ers who are on the verge of quitting
to continue production, adding that
agricultural food production in
America is starting down-hill at an
alarming rate.
Until we alter the policy of taking
every able bodied man off the farm
for industrial or military purposes
we cannot hope to feed ourselves or
cur allies or to bring this war to a
successful conclusion.
The greatest danger to our food
supply is lack of manpower and lack
of assurance of conditions under
which production can be maintained
and increased"

vert to industrial alcohol. needed for
such items as explosives and syn

tilleries had been converted pre-
viously.
There were indications, however
that liquor manufacturing would not
be entirely suspended. A WPB Off

industry two 30-day vacations" q

duction of liquor would be permitted
He added however that would not

yond present calculations
The WPB is not interested in
establishing prohibition, he re-
marked.
Two 30-day vacations year, with
24-day operation, could keep
liquor stocks at reasonable levels
this source said, inasmuch as dis
tilleries normally distill whisky only
four months out of the year, work
ing 8-hour days.
Estimates of Stocks.
While WPB declined to estimate
the liquor stocks on hand, other
official sources said the outlook
would be as follows if manufactur-
ing of liquor were entirely sus-
pended:
The gin stocks might run out by
the fall of 1943 Blended whisky
might last more than two years
longer. Bourbon and rye might last
five years or more.
The conversion is expected to pro-
vide an industrial alcohol production
of 100000, 900 gallons a year.

war cannot be won by timid souls.
Il view this war as a great world

said at banquet given in his honor
by Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
"1t won't be won by timid souls.
1t will be won only by bold, coura-

to undertake and carry through
bold plans. Timid souls can always
find reasons for delay in aggressively
pushing through to victory"
Mr.. Willkie told the audience.
which included leaders of Chinese
military and civilian life and diplo-
matte representatives of the Allied
nations that the common man"
everywhere among the enemies of
the Axis wants action now.
Favors Action Now.
Il have learned that the ordinary
citizen. from Cairo, to Moscow TO
Chungking, is a lover of liberty
and wants action, action now he
said. He feels the time has come
for the United Nations, in great
unison of effort, to take the often
sive everywhere.
He is ahead of his leaders-this
plain citizen of Africa, or Europe.
or Asia, or America. He wants to
get on with the war. He wants the
job done.
He no longer fears the myth that
Germany and Japan are invincible.
It annoys him that much of the
might of the United Nations stands
idle, awaiting action on some future
day.
This ordinary citizen is ready
now. He is the strength of the
United Nations. His faith in the
justice of our cause makes him
super-man. We must all catch his
infectious spirit of enthusiasm for
immediate, slashing, courageous at
tack to enable us to sweep over ag-
gressor nations, and on to a new
world of victory with justice. free
dom, equality and opportunity for
all nations"

Mr.. Willkie came here after max
