Food Expert Predicts Vast U. s. Shortage
ByADELAIDE KERR AP Features Writer

NEW YORK - Dean Sarah Blanding says that American housewives face the greatest food shortage they have ever known and that they will have to use a lot of food tricks to feed their families adequately this winter
 Miss Blanding is director ot human nutrition for the New York State Emergency Food Com mission and dean of the College of Home Economies at Cornell University. Although her work deals only with New York state, she says that shortage conditions exist generally throughout the country.
 Meat, milk eggs, butter, fresh fruits and vegetables are going to be scarce," said Dean BIanding on a recent New York trip. There will be plenty of food for nourishment purposes, but not plenty of everything. We have been a nation of meat eaters and we are going to have to adjust ourselves to a cereal diet"
 Dean Blanding's dark eyes snapped with intensity. She reached toward a little table and scooped a pile of packaged foods onto the lap of her brown and biege plaid suit.
 ''We are going to use a lot of this kind of food this winter, " she said as she opened a bag that held soy beans, another of soy bean toast and a third of noodles.
 Soy beans are very rich in protein content and they have a nutty, meaty flavor" she went on. We can use. them in. meat loaves and soups, in so bean flour for bread and cakes and in many other ways. We have also learned to sprout them and when they are sprouted they have as much vita min C as tomatoes. In the Cornell laboratory we found that it is practical to freeze these sprouteo soy beans and now quick freeze companies are doing it. The sprouted soy beans will be or the market shortly.
 We are also going to use { great many cereals-noodles spaghetti and so on-as extend: of a small amount of meat. We

JULY CONTINGENT
 BEING CALLED UP

Draft Boards 15-A and 15-E shipped two large contingents to the Hartford Induction center this morning for their physical examina- tion.
 Those accepted will be given a three weeks furlough before enter ing Fort Devens for the basic train ing course, under the new proviso of the Selective Service laws.
 Boards 16-A and 16-B are prepar- ing lists of inductees who leavef ol Hartford in the near future. All registrants sent by the four boards will make up Waterbury's quota for July.
 It sunderstood locally that the army authorities are planning to make up for rather modest quotas of late by inducing a large number in August or September. It will mean that many married men, scores with children as dependents will be called up for service.
