mittee has voted to assign a sub committee to make a full study or manpower problems-farrn, war in dustry and essential civilian indus try as well as nilitary-in relation to forthcoming appropriations bills.
 A third committee, the Senate committee Investigating the war ef- fort, has eliminated nanpower from its agenda in view of the work of the other two committees.
 Coincidgnt with the Senate com mittee developments, Sen. John H. Bankhead, D, Ala. withdrew his resolution to limit the size of the Army. He had proposed, over viz. orous objections by the Army, that the United States concentrate on supply ammunition and food for the Allies. MAJ.
 The major pressure for limitation of the size of the American fight ing forces and for full dress con- gressional Investigation of man. power problems has come from farm bloc congressman who claim that food production goals for 194S will be jeopardized unless a solution of the farm labor problem is forthcom- ing soon.
 The National Association of Com missioners, Secretaries and Directors of Agriculture last night told farm block congressman that agriculture, as an essential war industry, must have equal precedence in securing labor and priorities for equipment.
 Sen. Claude Pepper, D.. Fla, told the Senate that Congress will have to solve the farm Ynanpower prob- lem if the administration doesn't act.
 McNutt and Food Administrator Claude A, Wickard in joint press conference warned that food pro- duction would breakdown unless B. 800 900 persons now in non-essential activities are recruited for farm work this summer. | Sen.

STATE.

Closed today and every Ttiesday until further notice in compliance with the governors request to con- serve fuel, Warmers State theateH presents a brand new show tornor. row Q show that Is high on the list of must" see pictures for 1943. A-1 .-i.
 Topping tomorrow's new program is walter Wangeris gorgeous tech. ricolor thriller Arabian Nights'' with Jon Hall, Maria Montez and Sabu in co-starring roles.
 The new production Is fabuloua new example of cinema wizatdry and must be regarded aS. more than a work of movie art. For sheer beauty, exotic splendor and torrid action filled drama, here is . screen triumph of the first magnitude (. embellished by glorious techri' color.
 Unforgettable are the character. izations of Its three stars. Mario appears as Shera2ade, the Bagdad dancing grill, who wants to marry 6 Caliph. She does and that Is tn story of '.Arahian Nights" And Jon Hall portrays Haroun-al-R ReschiG the Caliph. Sherazade's adVentures before she marries Harollrl, hoSMr ever, are best told on the screen ik self, for this Is entertainment adr herring to the original fascination of the classic tale. .'l @..,a
 Among the pictures nuIneroS@ iighlights are the splendid per- formances of, Jeff Erikson, BiNY Gilbert, Edgar Barrier and SherDp Howard. There is a circus sequerlc9 which stands out vividly and mag nificent desert vistas across which the slave caravans travel. There are scenes of the slave markets ana luxurious llarel1s, where feminine beauty is emphasized in profigaSp profusion. The spectacular Orients1 dance presented by Miss Montez @ memorable screen event, as Is tho furious battle between Hall ana Erikson. The fight, staged againse Q moving panorama of countless desert warriors, is probably. the films most exciting iri1Uvatior. =
 Others in the talented cast inc clude Thomas Gomez and Turhan Bey. Also outstanding in the fenl- mine group are Elyse Knox, Acua- netta and Carmen D'Antonio and Q huge supporting cast of thousands of others.
 All in all here is b picture well- worth seeing. Make a date to see 1t at the State starting tomorrow.

problem. In other cases, some foods will simply become unavailable at any great distance from the pro- ducing region.
 RETAILERS CAUGHT
 The grocer himself has his prob- lens. Caught in the squeeze" be- tween mounting wholesale prices and ceiling fixed retail prices, he has, in some cases, stopped carry ing few unproitable lines.
 More than that, 1t is becoming increasingly hard for many grocers to pre-guess demand. Gasoline ra- tioning is changing many a house. wife's marketing habits, keeping her closer to home, swarnping her local grocers,s
 And don't leave out the oonsurn- CT. With greater incomes and fewer consumer goods to spend it on, con- sumers are eating more and better than ever before. Unfortunately, too, every whisper of,a possible food shortage sends greedy buyers starn- peding-so that the possibility be- comes a reality, when perhaps 1t needn't have. .N ..,
 Well, why doesn't the government do somethingp The food trade feels that the administration was in fact short-sighted in failing to foresee the shortages. There were undoubt- edly governmental blunders-a "victory food special" on cheese, for example, just before the short- age of dairy products. - The trade also was shocked at the failure of the administration to appoint a food administrator soon- CT than last month. It isn't overly pleased at the choice of Secretary Wickard for the job, either. Food merchants feel that business ex- pert, familiar with distribution problems, could have handled the job better than a farmers man, whose chief concern is with pro- duction-the oly phase of the food situation which does not need un- tangling.
 Defenders of the administration answer the trade with a query: How could the government foresee shortages when production set worlds records, and when no one knows from day to day what new military and lease-lend require ments would be?
 FOR THE DEFENSE"
 It is national policy to feed the peoples of the occupied countries liberated by Allied arms. Reports from Africa, whose larder had been stripped bare by tn collaboration ist Vichy French, indicate that the food the Americans brought with them played a large role in the win ming of the natives support. Xet who in the government could tell, an hour before the action was planned, what kinds of food, and how much, would be needed?
 In the overall picture, estimates indicate that 25 per cent of next years crops will go to military and lease-lend needs. But until the scenes of action are chosen, who can plan million pound menus when those needed floor Arctic service must necessarily be entirely differ ent from ones for the tropics?
 Admitting, then, that no one tac- tor is responsible for shortages, why not ration immediately a scarcity appearsP This will be done, in creasingly, in the future. ~

 is so immensely complicated, with each of many factors depend- ent on and interacting on the oth- CTS, that it's impossible to point to any one cause-except, of course, the war. And in each scarce pro- duct, there are special causative factors that are different from those of other foods.
 Take butter, for example. Begin with the manpower shortage. Cows must be mixed twice a day, and fewer hands can't milk more COWS. Add to this the high price of beef. The farmer found, for the first time, that 1t was profitable to kill his milcl1 COWS.
 DEMAND GROWS
 Less hands, fewer COWS mean less butter. On the other side: Many families who previously couldn't af- ford butter are now able to buy 1t. Americas troops must get the best. Americas allies must be well fed. No wonder Mrs. Housewife Some- times can't get all she wants.

sumer and you'll see the problems. To start with, the farmer can be absolved of the blame. He produced 12 per cent more in 1942 than he had in the previous record -break- ing year. He did so while 2,500,000 persons capable of farm employ ment were leaving the farm popu- lation for the armed services or war industry.
 It's after the food has been grown that the problem starts. Be- ing highly perishable, fresh prod uce must be processed or shipped to market quickly. But with a shortage of tin for cans and new packing machinery, and with trans portation facilities already over- taxed. the distribution problem is immense.
 In some cases. the elimination of peacetinae extravagances = such as the shipping of Washington apples to Michigan, while Michigan, an apple producing state itself, ships apples east-will help solve this
