Tibet again without a ruler For it wasn't
until 1910 that the new rencarnated Dalai

MILK SHORTAGE
FEARED IN N. Y. C.
Government Control Over
ALLEGATION of Supplies
Strongly Advocated

New York, June 16-CUP)-Dr
Charles j. Blanford, administrator
Of the metropolitan milk marketing
area, warned today that New York
city faces milk shortage in No
vember unless the government i'm
mediately exercises its control over
the ALLEGATION of supplies.
Asserting that the New York
milkshed Cannot produce enough
in the short season" to satisfy all
needs, DR.. Blanford told the Dairy
mems League Cooperative Associa-
ton Food Forum Cat the Hotel New
Yorker that whether New York
city will be able to command enough
milk in November to supply its fluid
needs is today question mark-a
large, black question mark.
Whether New York city should
go short" he continued, whether
other markets should be supplied in
full, and whether whole milk pow
der plants should run at capacity in
the short season are decisions that
should be made by those responsible
for the ALLEGATION of the nations
food supply
The decisions, however, should be
made now while there is yet time
TO the orderly execution of a pro-
gram of ALLEGATION, DR.. Blanford
said.
The government, he said, lis
striving for capacity operation and
is paying prices to achieve that
end" The combined demands for
fluid milk and milk powder, how
ever, make it obvious that no milk
will be left over" for butter, cheese,
evaporated milk and the cream and
ice cream that the milkshed nor
mally supplies to upstate New York,
New Jersey and New England, he
added.
DR.. Blanford declared that 1.-The
combination of circumstances that
arises from lesser production, larger
consumption, price ceilings favor
ing buyers from other markets than
New York, and the governments
requirements for whole milk powder
could easily erase the small margin
that now seemingly assures New
York city a full supply
Rep. Jerry Voorhis 3D., Calif.)
told the forum he believes the
real strength of American agricui-
ture" is to be found in farmers CO.
operatives and that similar COOP
eratives in foreign countries will
solve the post war food problem.
The cooperatives, he said, have
beaten monopolies which he de-
scribed as "one of the most i'm
portant obstacles to a truly free
world and to abundant food pro-
duction.

l8 WAR AGENCIES
GET $2,939,44l,5O4
Home Front Government
Bureaus Given Virtual
Clean Bill of Health
BY TONY SMITH

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, June 16.-(UP) The
House appropriations committee
gave the much-assailed home front
government bureaus virtual clean
bill of health today in appropriate
ing $2,939, AL ,5O4 for 10 civilian war
agencies in fiscal 1914.
1t admitted that mistakes have
been made and will be made. It
praised constructive public criticism
Of the war effort and called for
more, but denounced those who
criticize without knowledge Of the
tremendous burdens thrown on
agency heads and Of the great
strides made in putting the United
States on a war footing.
1.-THE type of criticism which
serves only to create public distrust
in the agencies is not helpful to the
war effort" the committee said.
War does not wait for doing
things In the normal way. War
calls for quick action and getting the
main job done. War itself is waste
full"
The committee advised skeptics to
read the general statements of the
war agency heads which the group
described as illuminating" Five
weesk of testimony before the COM
|mittee-2,10O printed pages-was re-
leased simultaneously with the ap-
preparations bill. That testimony
ranged from revelations that the
United Nations are outproducing
Axis war industries at the rate of
SIPS 900, 100000 to sos 1000, 100000 a
year to fears that the straining ma
tional transportation system may
fall apart "like the one-horse shay"
The committee cut only $780,
492,418 from the budget request for
So, 078 1888 1922 for the 10 agencies,
whose work has been multiplied
many time in the last year. The
1914 bill carries $1,114,226, 280 more
than appropriated for the same
agencies In 1913.
The committees approval of the
vast sums or its highly compliment
airy report do not preclude bitter
House and Senate fights. But it
was noteworthy that tibet wo most
criticized government agencies-the
Office of Price Administration and
the Office of War Information
weathered committee scrutiny with
only minor financial cuts and re-
ceived warm praise for fulfillment
of difficult jobs.
OPA'S request for Silt 1886 900 was
cut $12,335, 000-money suoght for
personnel increases in Washington.
The committee specified that $751;
551 ,O42 of OPA's money must be
used for expenses incurred by local
rationing boards and said that
amount would allow 5,l89 additional
clerks for local boards but none for
Washington headquarters.
Owl Director Elmer Davis re-
quest for $47,342,0OO was cut $l2,-
$3.50 ,496, but the committee promised
to review 1t pending military de-
velopments. The committee said
OWLS cut did not indicate that
"any embarrassment should result
therefrom" and invited attention to
the part of the Owl has played on
the propaganda front in prosecution
Of the war"

SICILY MAY HAVE
$4,000 SOLDIERS
Jugoslav Expert Claims
BOmbardment Alone Will
Not Conquer Island
BY ROBERT RICHARDS
United Press Staff Correspondent


London, June 16.-CUP)-A Jugo-
slav naval expert said today that
Sicily could not be conquered by
bombardmert alone, as other Ital-
ian islands were last week, but pre-
dicted that all resistance would COL
lapse within 20 days after the first
Allied landing in the island.
The expert served several years in
the general region of Sicily and is
familiar with the various features
which would be involved in a cam
paign against the big island lying
at the toe of the italian boot.
Estimating that Italy would have
$4,000 soldiers on Sicily, he said they
would be forced to surrender after
withdrawing behind a line across the
northeastern section from Palermo
to Catania.
The Italians were expected to
concentrate in that area, hoping the
mountainous terrain will protect
them from Allied planes and guns
But The expert said the Allies prob
ably would smash in Simultaneous
~ at number of points and espe-
cially through a black door" to
shut off the island from Italy
proper.
If the initial operations succeeded
in isolating Sicily for subsequent
reduction, the troops would be sur
rounded.
Comparatively, Sicily will fall
much more easily than Pantelleria
because it has a much bigger area
almost 10000 square miles-and will
be hard to defend" the expert said.
One of the biggest factors in
Sicily's vulnerability was believed
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-06-16

of military security. 1t is known,
however, that in theaters Of opera
tons, engineer troops have contrib
uted materially to Allied victories.
Amphibian engineers lead the way,
combat engineers clear the path and
organize the ground, while aviation
engineers lay down portable airfields
and the special service engineers
build and repair docks, warehouses,
depots, airfields and railroads.
Since the outbreak of World War
II the Corps of Engineers has been
charged with more than 5000 con-
struction projects, including can
comments, munitions plants, ports,
Notifications, harbor defenses, mag
azine depots, with the necessary
highways, railroads, bridges and util-
tiles to supply adequate transporta-
ton and services Most spectacular
recent achievement was the COM
pletion of the Allan Highway, the
vital Alaska-Canada military road
through the northern wilderness.
Pioneers in the development of our
national resources, Army Engineers
have surveyed, located and built the
most important transportation
routes within the United States,
such as the Ohio, Chesapeake, Erie
and Panama Canals; national roads
such as the Old Cumberland Pike,
and the Baltimore & Ohio, North
ern Pacific, and other railroads.
The improvement of rivers and
harbors, the dredging of channels,
the development of national parks,
the surveying of boundaries, the
building of great dam and power
projects, the planning of flood con-
trol-all these tasks fall within the
peacetime scope of the Corps of
Engineers.

Meeting here last night with on
Gals of the War Manpower COM
mission, War Labor board, U. S.
Employment service, and OPA, rep
resentatives Of all of the city's
cleaning plants were unanimous in
calling current conditions critical
and requesting immediate aid to al
leviate their difficulties.
Homes Stripped
Mrs. Mary M. Dewey, VINO direc-
tor of the Waterbury area, said to-
day aid would have to be sought
from customers who appear to have
stripped their homes of all pos
sible garments and loaded them
down on laundries." Cleaning es-
Establishments are jammed with work
she said, and morale of workers
with terrific amounts of clothing
piled up before them may be
harmed, 1t was indicated.
Although the question Of increas-
ing wages in order to recruit addi-
tional help was not discussed, FL
lott Bronson, War Labor Board
agent who handled local petitions
for increases, attended the meeting
and agreed to confer with repre-
sentatives of the industry and other
government officials on possible ac-
ton in that direction. In the event
the government should permit wage
increases, it is believed some ad-
justment in price of service would be
requested from the OPA. The SIM
ilarity of the conditions in all parts
OF the state may call for state wide
application Of whatever decisions
are made, it was indicated.
Placing of more part time workers
was suggested by the VINO and eff
forts will be made to secure aid by
that means. Absenteeism was clas-
sif1ed as an Outstanding problem
by many Of the representatives The
old observation that laundry work.
ers stay home Mondays to do their
own washing appears to be a real
ity, it was indicated.
Two representatives were selected
to meet with government officials
for further discussion and submits
sion of reports. They are w. J. Lat
inner of the American Laundry, and
Miss H. r. Hart of Harris Cleaners
g. Dyers. The cleaners also agreed
to submit statistics on labor turn
over and absenteeism to aid the
VINO in administering to the prob
lens.
Some work turned in as much as
a month ago Is still untouched,
spokesman stated, and demands by
the public continue to pile up. Sew
eral concerns have discontinued GER
tain types of service.
Possibility of allocating the type
of work to be done was suggested
after it was pointed out some con-
Germs have SPECIAL equipment which
others lack.
Hartford cleaners have already
outlined their problems to govern
ment officials and asked for aid, it
was reported, and NEE tings in other
cities have already been arranged.
William r. Nolan, manager Of the
USES, and J. A. Bullock of the
stae OPA price division, participated
in last nights discussion.

w. Sandstedt, executive secretary Of
the National Association of Mutual
Savings Banks, who addressed here
tonight the Savings Bank Manage,

pieces of the Savings Banks ASsocia-
ton Of Massachusetts,.
1T its not an eXaggeratlon to
say that larger part Of the cur
rent pay envelope is being convert
ed into savings capital than ever
before" Mr.. Sandstedt added. "Edu-
cational programs carried on by the
government and the great thrift
agencies of the United States are
bringing to the people better real
ization of what saving means for
the future. We recently have wit
messed two remarkable Victory Bond
drives in which more than $30,000,-
100000 were made available to the
government. Although this money
largely came from the treasures OF
fiduciary institutions, it originated
in the pay envelopes of the nation
and we may be sure that those same
faithful pay envelopes will contribute
an increasing share to victory.
cat the end of 1912, according to
the Federal Reserve Board, total
bank deposits, exclusive of inter-
bank deposits, amounted to 88 bill
lions and economists estimate the
figure now to be in excess Of 100
billions, with the prospect reaching
$50 billions before the end of the
war. Likewise, we face the posi-
bility of public debt of between
$50 and 300 billions.
Turning to the matter of ma
tional income, it is expected that
income payments to the American
people during 1943 will approximate
1875 billions. Federal, state and 10
cal personal taxes will absorb about
Is billions leaving 100 billions. How
ever, available goods and services
are estimated to absorb about rs
billions of value, leaving Is billions
of purchasing power in the hands of
