Warn Of Fruit

Appeal Mode TO copitoI
to Relieve Crisis

DETROIT, March 12-(P)-
Detroiters were warned today of
an impending shortage in fruit
and vegetables and meanwhile
the aid of Washington was be-
ing asked by grocers.
War, weather and price regu-
lations we're blamed for a mar
ket condition which was de-
scribed in some quarters as
acute"
Pointing to reduced shipments
here, market men said that war
transportation needs. cold
wave in the South which report
eddy ruined bean crop, and dis
advantageous price ceilings for
Detroit were responsible. Heavy
rains keeping pickers from the
orange orchards in California al
SO were blamed.
However. George z. Thier-
wechter. manager of the Detroit
Union Produce terminal, said
the OPA soon may announce a
new method for setting price
ceilings. Producers were said
to be by-passing Detroit in order
to get better prices elsewhere.
The Detroit Retail Grocers
Association telegraphed Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wickard to
ask help.

Prentiss M. Brown.
TIGHTEN CURBS
Americas diet thus was tight
ened up within a few hours af-
ter two other food programs
were liberalized. Coffee rations
were restored to the one pound
per person for five weeks, in
stead of the current six weeks.
Coupon charges were reduced
for raisins, prunes, and dried
beans, peas and lentils. Unseal-
ed packages of dates and figs
were made ration-free.
The two-pound meat ration es-
innate, made by Wickard, was a
calculation of the amount of
meat that will be available for
civilians to buy for home con-
sumption, if divided up equally
without regard to types of cuts.
Since meat killed by farmers for
their own use will be unrationed
and since customers will not
have to give up coupons to eat
in restaurants, Wickard said the
total civilian meat supply will
average "a pounds a person per
week. Last years consumption
was little over ga pounds.
Actually every person, regard
less of age, will get-at the be-
ginning, at least - Is ration
points to spend AS he chooses
on meat, cheese, edible fats and
oils and canned fish. He may use
more or less of his points, as he
desires for meat instead of the
other items, and the weight OF

meat he gets for his points will
also depend on whether he buys
steak or spare ribs.
MAY ACCUMULATE
Although the initial allotment
will be l6 points per person per
week, consumers will be allow
ed to accumulate and use their
points during approximately a
months period. Thus, in the
week beginning March 20, each
person will be able to use only
l6 points-the red "A" coupons
in his No. 2 ration book. In the
following week, he will be able
to use any leftover points plus
another l6 points-the red "B"
coupons. He can keep on using
these leftovers plus each weeks
new allotment of points until
April 80, when all of the cou-
pons of the first four weeks will
expire together.
One difference between this
system and the canned goods
coupon plan is that butchers and
stores will be able to give
change" in coupons to custo-
mers having an inexact number
of coupon points to pay for a
purchase. On canned goods, no
change" is permitted and cou-
pom payments must be exact.
Otherwise the point system
will be the same in nearly all
respects as the one now in use
for canned, frozen and dried
vegetables and fruits. The same
ration book will be used, in fact,
with the red coupons good for
meat and its companion items
and e blue coupons continuing
to be used for fruits and vege-
tables. The new points will be
announced in about two weeks.

WASHINGTON, March IL -
Up - An attempt 10 nullify
President Roosevelt's S25. 900
after-taXeS limitation on war;
time salaries gets House test
today which may serve as sign
post for Congressional treatment
of future executive DEGREES.
A powerful coalition of most
of the Republican minority and
several influential Democrats
rallied behind a cry against ex-
ecutive "usurpation of power"
and pressed campaign to have
Congress lay down a salary CELL
ing of its own.
The fight-by long odds, the
most acrimonious of the new
Congress conferred around a
clause inserted in the national
debt limit bill by the Ways and
Means committee despite stiff
protest from the President. The
rider would prevent freezing of
salaries below their Pearl Har-
Dor levels.
There was no attempt on the
part of administration spokes-
men to minimize the challenge
to executive power. Some of
them said, as they sought TO raj
ly the Democratic forces, that
only an overnight shift of senti-
ment could prevent House APP
proval of the rider.

Undersecretary of S e

that food shipments from the

The move was believed de-

called the assault upon Stuttgart
a terror attack-a term custo-
marily applied to a heavyweight
raid in which a large area is
blanketed with fire and explo-
sionS.
The round trip from England
to Stuttgart is about 900 miles,
800 miles shorter than the jour
ney 10 Munich and return. Five
hundred tons of bombs were
dropped on Munich Tuesday
night.
At least six persons were kill
ed when the German raiders
bombed and machine-gunned a
shopping district in outer Lon
don. A bus driver burned TO
death when his bus was destroy
ed by fire. Three trains were ma
chine-gunned and at one station
v. ting suburbanites stretched
cut on the station platform as
machinegun bullets struck near
by.
HIT IN NOVEMBER
A DNB broadcast said the
Raj had attacked Stuttgart, an
important industrial city south
west Germany, which the Raj
last visited in November.
In addition TO being an i'm
portant railroad center, Stuff
CART is the home of important
aviation and electrical industries
and engines for planes, tanks
and trucks are manufactured
there.
The attack on London came
shortly after dawn, when low
flying Nazi fighter bombers ma
chine gunned streets in suburb
and dropped bombs at one place
in Greater London.
One raider machinegunned
train enroute from London to
East Anglia, but there were no
casualties.
Although two waves of enemy
planes were reported to have
flown up the Thames Estuary,
damage from their bombs was
said to have been small. Five
of the raiders were reported shot
down. -
The action was largely con-
fined TO the suburban area and
most Londoners saw no planes
and heard no gunfire.
SEPARATE ATTACKS
During the night German
bombers attacked targets in
northeast England and four en-
envy planes were reported shot
down. DNB, in a broadcast re-
corded by the Associated Press,
said that Newcastle had been
bombed.
It took more than an hour
last night for the Germany
bound British bombers to cross
the Channel coast, reports from
residents in that area said. The
planes were flying above the
clouds.
Their return about 2;30 a. m.
conceded with an exchange of
British and German long-range
artillery across Dover Strait.
The British opened the firing
and the duel continued for more
than an hour.
At least five Of the raids on
Germany this month have been
of the heavy variety-those on
Berlin, Hamburg, Essen, Munich
and Nuremberg in the first ten
days of the month, more than
1000 tons of bombs were drop
ped on Germany and German
occupied territories.

During the famous Lincoln
Douglas debates IN the summer of
1858 il can be noted that during
the debates when Lincoln was
most triumphant the weather was
warm to not - for instance. the
Freeport Speech on August 27th.
Now according to DR.. Petersen's
theory, the two types Of human
body, as represented by Lincoln
and Douglas respectively, react
differently to hot and cold wealth
er. Lincoln was the long, thin type
with most Of his blood IN his in
ternal organs. When the weather
got hot, the blood came out to the
surface Of his body and made him
feel alive and we'll Douglas, being
OF the broad type with his blood
al the surface most Of the time
anyway, was made miserable by
the surface congestion brought on
by hot weather. couldn't think
clearly or speak impresslvely un-
der such circumstances and cut a
poor figure beside the brilliant ex-
position of Lincoln.
Such are the consequences Of
Man as COsmic Resonator.
Other Incidents
Other incidents of Lincolns
career are adduced to show this
influence. The fatal first" of
January, 1S41, was the day on
which he broke his engagement to
Mary Todd. The weather was cold
and damp and Lincoln's nature
was not in the mood for love or
marriage. When, then, was it
likely that Mary Todd would be
able to marry him? In the good
old summer time" Which is just
when she did.
l do not know that | can sub
scribe to all of DR.. Petersen's
theories in detail. They are inter
esting and unquestionably show
that there are meteorological des-
TIMES that shape our ends, rough
hew them as We will. But we can
do something about it too. 1t would
be hard to think we could never
rise even above the weather.
