Presents Parallel Columns,
Senator Green then presented
two parallel columns of what he
said were excerpts from Mr.. Hoo
ver's statements in 1943 and 1917
and followed that with what he
designated as texts of a memoran-
dunn from Mr.. Hoover to Col. Ed

and OF the text of the February

the problems of food shipments

By the Associated Press.

| os 'Ate nsSOSiatcu fISSo.
The Republican National Com
mittee asserted yesterday that Sena-
tor Green, Republican, of Rhode
Island making a personal attack"
on Herbert Hoover had altered the
meaning of a memorandum writ
ten by the former President when
he was food administrator in 1917.
With a statement, the committee
issued pamphlet written by Ralph
H. Lutz, professor of history at
Stanford University. in which he
said that an examination of Sena-
tor Green's statement showed that
such distortion of American
history should not stand uncor-
rected.' The Lutz paper was pre-
pared, the committee said, at the
request of President Ray Lyman
Wilbur of Stanford.
Senator Green made a statement
February %, the committee said,
which presumably originated in
one of the prominent administra-
tive departments and which was
put into the Congressional Record.
Green Statement Quoted.
The Congressional Record shows
that Senator Green said:
There are those who would so
jeopardize the winning of the war
by substituting their military judg-
ment for that Of the combined chiefs
Of staff: who are willing to risk a
protracted war or stalemate rather
than take the steps necessary to
mobilize ourselves for early and con-
elusive defeat of the enemy; who
believe that We are not economically
strong enough to wage total war
on the same scale and at the
same rate as our enemies.
Foremost among these is the Hon.
Herbert Hoover. Whatever Mr..
Hoover's standing as a military ex-
pert may be, his record as an econ
omist is known to all of us. He
twice has attempted to predict the
military future of the United States

Taxi Drivers 10 Urqe

|Group-Riding Fares
Army Moves to Curb
Alleged Overehoree for
Pentoeon Building Trips

Following orders of the Army to
crack down on taxicab drivers who
charge passengers 80 cents each for
trips between the Pentagon Build
ing and the District, regardless of
the number Of passengers, spokes-
men for the taxi industry last night
said they were looking forward to
a hearing by the Public Utilities
Commission May 3, to consider a
more equitable system of group rid
ing" rates for the city.
James H. Flanagan, chairman of
the PUG, said last night the hearing
will take up again the long disputed
question of rates for group riding.
The ONCE of Price Administration,
which objected to a recent sugges-
ton for group riding rates, as pro-
viding too much Of a general in
crease, will intervene in the hear
ing, he said.
The present rate. which was estab-
lished long ago, before group riding
became an issue, Mr.. Flanagan ex-
planned, provides that the trip to
and from the Pentagon building
now provides 80 cents for the first
two passengers and 10 cents for each
additional passenger Army officers
declared cab drivers have been
charging each passenger 80 cents,
regardless of the number
Jack Royer, president of Com
bined Cabs, said the entire taxi
industry recently approved group
riding at hearing before the PUG,
and asked that equitable rates be
fixed.
Army Can Exclude Cabs.
In regard to the Pentagon Build
ing trip. he said most cabs serving
that structure usually have to take
passengers from the city to the
Pentagon in the morning and dead
head" back without riders. In the
evening the reverse is true, he said.
The old PUG order and it's rates,
he charged, ARE not applicable to
this present type of business"
Mr.. Royer said, he had received a
copy of the order issued by Mai.

tinue to grow and flower for many

The leaves are used to season stews

also for garnish for salads. The

pot up a clump in the fall and keep
the plants growing in some suitable
window during the winter where the
leaves may be pinched of as needed.
Chives has an attractive lavender

Boston, Nov. e-(Up)-Maj. Gen,
Philip b. Fleming of the Federal
Works Agency predicts that pos
sibly 10000 persons will be unem-
ployed In New England at the end
of the war.
Fleming made the prediction last
night in an address before the post
war construction conference OF the
Associated General Contractors OF
Massachusetts, Possible employ
ment displacement in Massachusetts
Is estimated at 10000 persons" he
said, land for the six New England
states together, more than three
quarters of a Million
He said that nearly every state
In the Union has some kind Of an
official board or commission busy
with plans and projects to hold the
economy on even keel during the
coming days of readjustment.
Emphasizing that he did not ad-
vocate providing postwar employ
ment by public works construction,
Fleming insisted that our principal
reliance for full-time employment
must be on private industry, where
1t always has BEEN" However, he
argued that federal public works
construction would be reassuring to
business. 1T will be our way Of
saying to every business man in the
country that another period of I'M
employment Is going to be avoided"
he added.
