FOOD: ~ !

Food had continued to hold the
Washington limelight as the house
agricultural committee had report
ed on bill designed to take all
food rationing and pricing powers
from the Office of Price Admins
tration and transfer them to War
Food Administrator Chester c.
Davis.
Congressional sentiment for Great
ing q food "czar" had increased in
spite Of the opposition of President
Roosevelt to such a measure. Dis
satisfied over home front war OPP
erations, proponents of the new bill
wanted to vest complete authority
over food production, transporta-
ton, distribution, pricing and ration
ing Of foods under Mr.. Davis who
hitherto has had charge only Of pro-
duction and distribution.
As congressional temperatures
rose in debate lover the proposals,
reports of improved weather and
crop conditions helped ease official
tension over 1913 food production
prospects. Particular improvements
were reported in midwestern grain,
livestock and dairy regions.

GERMANY:
Raids Devastating

While militay strategists had de-
bated whether aerial warfare could
completely knock out the enemy,
evidence of some of the results of
Allied bombings were dramatically
forthcoming in reports from the
Ruhr valley area, where British
and American airmen had dropped
10000 tons of bombs within month.
One report disclosed that Ger
many had ordered the evacuation of
5000, 900 nonessential civilians from
the bomb-gutted Ruhr. Another re-
vealed that the Nazis had massed
more than 1000 fighter planes in
western Europe to combat the
never-ending Allied raids and had
mounted 10000 anti-aircraft guns
along belt 200 miles long by 20 to
so miles deep.
Under a new policy Of fully pub
icizing air raid damage, German
propaganda broadcasts said the
Royal Air force had practically
erased" the city Of Krefeld on the
western fringe of the Ruhr and had
subjected the populations Of both the
Ruhr and the Rhineland to "unbe-
lieVable raids"

POSTWAR:
Problems ahead

Addressing 500 business leaders
and army and navy officers in Chi
cage, Alfred P. Sloan Jr., chairman
of the General Motors corporation,
declared that he is not worried about
the immediate postwar era in the
United States, but that he is con-
siderably concerned about the dis
tant future.
The nation, Mr.. Sloan declared,
faces a postwar period in which it
will take at least five years to catch
up with the accumulated consumer
demand for goods.
The letdown will come when this
pent-up buying power has been ex-
hausted, unless private industry is
successful in drawing blueprints for
winning the peace, he predicted. Mr..
Sloan particularly urged the gov
eminent to make a frank state
ment of policy now regarding its
peacetime intentions to enable in
dustry to plan intelligently. Gov
eminent, he said, should allow in
dustry to build up profitable reserves
on a tax-free basis.
