Story ofDeoth
Told on Canvas

MACEIO, Brazil, June 29 (UP)-
Words ScraWled on a canvas sail
by a young seaman as he waited for
death told today of the last hours
aboard torpedoed U. S. merchant
man and the futile effort of five
other survivors to reach land.
The body of the seaman was found
on raft grounded near here. His
ship was the 8,150-ton East Indian.
Nothing was known of his five
companions.
Large parts of the story had
been washed out but he wrote of a
pal named Kenney.
NO SUBMARINES
I'VE were en- route to pick up
meat and food for our brothers at
war" he wrote. "Never had the
East Indian made better voyage.
No submarines in sight. Kenney
made jokes about Hitler; with
little moustache he went around
initiating the crazy dictator"
He then told of his son, Robert,
and someone named Janet, appar-
emily his wife, and said his fellows
talked OF the presents they'd take
home from the voyage.
Yesterday, November /, Kenney
said was All Saints day and that
we should pray for victory. 1t was
nightfall and we had already left
the messroom. Suddenly it happen
ed a terrible sound and the
shaking ship tried to rise out of the
water crazy We were run

FOOD PRICE.
NEXT ON THE LIST

Lewis and the coal miners and the
whole wartime strike subject has been
taken care of-at least temporarily
congressional action.
Next on the list of things which should
be done, is the improvement of food
prices which was left-handed issue IN
the coal strike matter, but is a first class
AL priority in things which need at
tending TO pronto.
High food prices make getting along on
ones income not only hard for the coal
miners, but for millions of other wage
earners. The miners Justly kicked about
how food costs have climbed far out of
ratio to income increases. But the coal
miners income increased a lot more than
the income of many other groups and in
the income of many other groups and
income brackets. There are plenty of
white collar people and overall workers,
too, who haven't seen their family income
go up anything like the miners and these
folks must eat just like the shipyard
worker, the airplane builder, the family
with more than one wage-earner.
Pretty quickly now, people are going
to feel the pay-as-you-go' tax every pay
day. Some checks are going to appear
pretty small. And there are some who
faced with family debts and medical bills
and the like simply aren't going to be
able to get along on what they get.
It's all right and good to hold the anti
initiation front in words, but those words
must be transformed into action, and
the food front is the first place to start
the firing.
Washington which always has yearned
for centralized economy control, has
what it has asked for. Now that it finds
this theory of men in office chairs replac-
ing the laws of economics isn't so practi-
cal, the socialist planners must resort to
subsidies as way out
But congress, smartly may stop that
leak and it will behoove the wise guys to
either perform or show that centralized
economic control is bunk
But, unless the job is done, all the ex-
cuses and all the controversy won't be
worth a puff of wind. What the people
want is action, and that action should
first be a reasonable reduction in food
costs to the people

A REAL NAzl PROBLEM
lSan Diego UniOn)

(San Diego UniOn)
The evacuation of the Ruhr valley,
the moving of from 100000 to 100000
Germans to other parts of the Reich, con-
stitutes one Of the gravest problems with
which the Nazi regime has been con-
fronted since the Allies turned the tables
and started their offensive.
1t is bad enough to have factories de-
stroyed and industrial centers levelled.
1t is bad enough to have war production
stopped by these devastating raids. But
when whole masses of the population are
compelled to pick up and leave their
homes, even though many of the build
ings themselves have been blasted, an
other problem which Hitler and Goeb-
bells never anticipated is created.
The propaganda minister may have
been able, up to now, to keep much of the
information on the devastating nature of
the raids from millions of German peo-
Pile A few of the central regions have
been passed over lightly. But when mil
lions of terrOr-stricken refugees begin
pouring into the cities that have thus
far been spared, with their first-hand
stories of the power Of Allied raids, the
propaganda minister will find his power
waning.
These people, homeless and subssting
in refugee camps, will not be strongly
impressed by Goebbels' gabbling of in
vincibility and they may recall Goering's
promise that no foreign bombs ever would
fall upon German soil that he would
not allow it.

FOOD AND HOOVER

Ex-President Hoover has had much to
say about the food situation for many
months. Most of us have followed his
words and advice carefully, trying to
decide how much of his attitude results
from being on the other side of the politi-
cal fence and how much comes from his
excellent record in the last war when he
talked little but certainly accomplished
much.
We've concluded that Hoover knows
what he is talking about; that he knows
more about the problem than anyone in
the administration; that prices can be
handled satisfactorily without subsidies
(Which we have failed to believe hereto
fore, and which we now will accept only
because Mr.. Hoover says so.)
We have also given way to a great
dream. That dream is this:
Mr.. Roosevelt has repeatedly asked
that unity prevail, that there be no parti-
sanism. Well, if he really means what he
says why shouldn't he appoint Mr..
Hoover in charge of the food program?
Hoover is a former president of this
country. As such, his appointment would
approach status of both parties combin
ing on fighting the war
Furthermore, Hoover knows food pro-
duction and distribution from the ground
up. He was the chap who handled that
troublesome problem in the last war
and under the leadership of that other
great Democratic president, Woodrow
Wilson. There simply isn't anybody else
who can compare with him on this vital
subject.
And, in passing, his appointment would

WASHINGTON, June 20. UP)-
Testimony b. Gen. Henry H. Ar

today the possibility that the United
States is producing a fighter plane
as yet not publicly announced.
This suggestion came when the
commanding general of the army

its pursuit types from six to four.
Army fighters known in produc-

cobra, the Curtiss P-40 WarhaWk,
the Republic P47 Thunderbolt and

BIG BARGEs
The majority ol the landing
barges were described by a Rome
broadcast as of 300 tons displace-

carrying five tanks or 600 men. The
broadcast estimated the range of
the barges as 800 miles and their
speed as IL knots.
Some of the landing ships sighted
by Axis reconnaissance planes We're
said to be of 5000 tons and 262 feet
long. These were believed specially
designed to carry tanks and armor-
ed cars.
