It seems they were out in their boats with all sails up when sig, boom, bang, crash, no wind, and they didn't even have their oars with them. Chapman hailed a cab. I mean a fishing schooner and when he had been lowed into Stonington he sent the Coast Guard after Maxwell, who was found amusing himself by teasing shark with his big toe. Oh, we'll, he says, I didn't need that toe anyway.

Solution Of Meat
Shortage Proposed
Texos Governor Would
Leave Problem to Formers

~ the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex. Feb. 20.-Texas'
ranChman Governor, Coke r. Stew
enson, said today the acute shortage
Of protein feeds endangering the
war meat supply from the South
west could be solved if the farmers
were turned loose"
The best he could learn from tele-
phone conversations with officials
in Washington, he said. was that
they cannot decide which bureau
it is that is holding up the release
Of needed feedstuffs"
Gov Stevenson said many farmers
we're writing him suggesting that
if it were not for restrictions on
planting they could solve the prob
lem themselves.
MI Stevenson's comment today
followed testimony before a State
Senate committee that Texas will
lose half its lamb and kid crop. and
much Of its calf crop, if concentrated
feeds. such as soybean meal. are not
made available in three weeks.
The committee was told that one
bottleneck is that large supplies OF
soybeans are being held off the
market because the Government
promised MidWestern farmers a
bonus if they would not sell their
/ beans until spring.
