Americans Remain
Best-Fed People
In Entire World
Total Food Production
4 Per Cent Higher but
Civilians Will Get Less

WASHINGTON, Aug q
(UP) - American civilians
will continue to be the best
fed in the world.
The first official announce
ment of the bureau of agricultural
economies on the 1943 food outlook
underscored that oft-repeated state
ment of food officials by revealing
that total food production in l943
will be four per cent higher than
in 1912 when all previous records
were smashed.
The record food outlook doesn't
mean that civilians will have more
food available for them, however.
In fact, the apparent overall civ
ilian conSum ption for l943 will be
six percent under the l94l record,
but four percent larger than the
1859 average.
ONLY IF
The only "if" in the BAF produc-
ton statement was that its estimate
was contingent upon average wealth
er for the rest of the year and con-
inuation of the present trend in
livestock production-both of which
are likely prospects.
Livestock production is the key
to the present total food outlook,
and BAE figures confirmed war
food administration predictions of
last week that the current meat
shortage will end soon with a flood
of beef, lamb and pork. 1t is meat

Planes or Soldiers
Must Be Choice

LOS Angles, Aug. 2-(UP)-
The government must decide
whether it wants airplanes or SOL
diers from aircraft plants, j. H.
Kindleberger, president of North
American aviation inc, told a house
military affairs subcommittee on
manpower today.
Kindleberger testified that coast
plants Just aren't going to build as
many airplanes as the army and
navy require" unless they can get
and hold manpower. He said the
aircraft plants must increase their
working force by $4,000 before De-
cember to meet current schedules.
Turnover of workers in the plants
is SO great, he said, that out of
10000 employees hired in the first
six months of l943 gain of only
10000 workers was obtained,

Federal Triple A chiefs received
permission to let the bars down
following several days of the gag"
policy and on Monday county en-

Passage of the gag measure by
some sources, was attributed to the

culture Extension Service, the

So stringent was the interpreta-

Archbishop Voices
|faly Peace Hope

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 UP) =
Archbishop Francis j. Spellman eX-
pressed the hope today that Italy
will find it possible to accept the
peace offers made to her through
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
the joint message of President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill, and the proposals of
Gen. Dwight d. Eisenhower.
"Italy's surrender would bring
nearer the peace for which the
world yearns," Spellman said. 1T
would spare the lives of American,
British and Canadian soldiers, as
well as italian lives and Italian
cities. 1t would spare the lives of
many soldiers and civilians of all
nations. 1t would also provide an
opportunity and challenge to the
United Nations to show how they
intend to keep faith with the world,
with their words and with them
selves"
Spellman returned last night
from a tour of the war zones and
visiting the vatican.

high the damage would run but
stated that many crops had been

high for Allied bombings in the
area, cost the Japanese record
losses in its first month, compila-
ton showed today, with % enemy
warshlps sunk or damaged and 436
or more planes destroyed.
The official report came while
ground and air action on the two
main fronts of the area-at Munda
on New Georgia island in the CEN
tral Solomons and on the New
Guinea northeast coast-apparent
ly entered comparative lull.
Air attacks in New Georgia area
were hampered by adverse weather
but a medium force of dauntless
and avenger bombers with a fight
er escort dropped 81 tons of bombs
on Munda yesterday, exploding an
ammunition dump and silencing
several gun positions.
BESIEGE GARRISON
A communiqUe did not refer to
ground action at Munda, where
American soldiers and marines are
besieging the enemy Garrison, but
it said that on New Guinea Allied
troops had seized considerable booty
and found deeply-laid entrench-
ments on vickers machine-gun ridge
in the Bobdubi area near Salamaila.
The ridge was captured Wednes-
day.
Minor air attacks were made on
Boela, oil port on Ceram, and on the
building area of Gasmata, New
Britain. Five enemy barges were
destroyed off Cape Gloucester, New
Britain.
The report said that more than
1000 tons of bombs had been
dropped on the Munda area alone
in July but the estimate appeared
conservative since a dispatch from
