BY the Associated Press.
Judge Marvin Jones took the
oath of office today as the Ma
tion's war food administrator
and declared that he is confident
civilians will certainly have
enough to assure a healthful
diet"
Jones takes the place vacated by
Chester c. Davis. The Roosevelt
administration. in letting Mr.. Davis
go, showed new determination to
make stabilization of prices a top
consideration in the nations food
program.
There is talk about food short
ages" Judge Jones said. This has
created fear on the part of some of
our people that they and their chill
dren may go hungry. We may not
throughout the war have all we want
and everything we prefer, but we
will certainly have enough to as
sure a healthful diet"
The new food chief said too little
emphasis has been placed on lone
important fact-the American peo-
pie today are eating more and bet
ter than ever before"
Judge Jones was sworn in at his
new office by Chief Justice Richard
Whaley of the United States Court
of Claims, tribunal from which Mr.
Jones has taken a leave of absence

traitor, who was succeeded in March
by Mr.. Davis. The latters resigna-
ton was accepted by President
Roosevelt yesterday.
In a statement issued at the time
he took the oath. Judge Jones indi-
Gated that he will take over with no
new or additional powers. Mr.. Davis
had said in his letter of resignation
that his authority was insufficient to
enable him to meet his responsible
ity.
"As war food administrator. Judge
Jones said, Il expect to do the best
job I can with the tools at hand"
Judge Jones, former member of
Congress and lawyer farmer, listed
these as the major needs for meet
ing war food requirements:
A full allotment of materials for
new farm machinery, supplies, re-
pair parts, shelter and storage, as
well as processing facilities.
Relation of Prices.
A sufficient supply of farm labor
to produce and harvest crops.
Ample supplies of seed, feed, fer
tilizer and credits to meet farmers
needs.
Assurance of a "fair return" to
farmers. This return. Judge Jones
said, must be related to other prices
in fairness to all.
The food administrator said he
expects to counsel with representa-
tives of the farm organizations and
also with representatives OF indus
try on the food program.
Pull use should be made" he said
"of State, county and community
organizations. Food is not pro-
duced in Offices in Washington. 1t
is produced in the far stretches of
this big country. No program can
be effective unless 1t has the support
of the American people on a war
time basis"

opinion, nothing more than an

CLASSROOM MINDS

Maxon charged that "profcs-
sional theorists don't want the dd-
vice of people who are expert
enced. Their book bound, dream
ribbed. classroom minds def
nitely have no doors or windows
leading in.
THE professional mind. In
my estimation, is one OF the
most dangerous factors in our
government today. Instead OF
the broad view that Is theoret-
icalIy promised. their thinking
under the unaccustomed glow
Of authority takes wing and
scars through the clouds unim-
peded by fact and unhindered
by actuality."
Maxon reiterated that OPA and
its principles must not fail. 1t is

rectlv the lives Of every one in
the nation. It must he made 10

MaXon announced his resigna-
ton a few hours after Bernard
F. Haley. former Stanford Uni
versity economics professor. re-
tired AS OPA textile. leather and
apparel price director.
Haley's withdrawal was said TO
be a direct result Of congressional
insistence that college professors
in OPA price sections be replaced
by business men. Haley also came
under congressional fire as 1e-
suit of Capitol Hill opposition to
grade labelling.

Harvest
At l.. 4.
BY CHARLES GENTRY

WHEN ACTION becomes slow,
suspense grows dull and Techni-
color fades. the movies invariably
tall back on literary ground,
We're not saying that such n
retreat is by any means a con-
CeSSiOn Of defeat. we only think
that authors of the spoken word
shouldn't be treated as a last
resort
Hollywood in slightly frantic
despair Will film novels and plays
only when their own ScenariStS
have thrown in the verbal towel.
Naturally, they're impressed
with boSt-ScllerS and hit plays. but
they still stick 10 the writer's who
baSk in the sunshine of their own
glittering contracts. before seeking
other literary pastures.
However, every once and not so
often. an author like Somerset
Vaughan or playwright like
George Bernard Shaw, shows up
or rather doesn't show up.
No inducement. from royalties. :
to having lunch with Bette Davis,
can persuade this presumably ICON
oclaStic individual 10 desert his
typewriter for the forbidden pleas
.ureS Of Brown Derby'S gin rummy
game and a crystal swimming poof.
A LITERARY LOSS
Therefore the boys have 10 take
the novel and carry IL from the
purchase point, even il it's for a
loss of some ninety-odd chapters.
Such a man is not James Hilton,
the English author. who. at first.
was amazed not only at the success
of his stories, but even more az
the price Hollywood was willing 10
pay TO put them on the screen.
HE DIDN'T BELIEVE 1T
That was, until he saw them in
the cinema.
Now you may have liked Lost
Horizon" but it is said that after
Mr.. II. saw his novel on the screen,
he left for the HimalayaS with a
bottle OF brandy. never TO return.
Fortunately some Tibetan lamas
who were film fans induced him to
return and when he finished his
next book. he swore that Louis B.
Mayer would have; to give all IF
his blood to the Red Cross, unless
he could have supervision of its
celluloid treatment.
So IL is with the widely adver-
tised Random Harvest" which
opens Thursday at the United
Artists.
A HARD WORKER
Although authors are generally
pests around sound
stages and rehearsal halls. Mr..
Hilton has had very important
word 10 say about what happened
to his book.
Being a sympathetic character,
Mr.. Hilton bad judgment enough
not to fight the director or the
producer and worked hand in suede
glove with them in order TO bring
the real meaning of the book to
The film audience.
The co-stars seem ideally suited. 4
although we have not seen the /
picture as yet, but somehow Greer
Carson and Ronald Colman seemed 4
destined to meet as partners in a i
movie and this is il.
