OMAHA, May 25.-M. Clifford
Townsend, former director of
the Food Production Adminis-
tration, disclosed today he has
been appointed a special repre-
sentative of War Food Admins
traitor Chester Davis in executing
stream Lined national food
program, whose administra ton
will be largely the task of State
and local governments.
Mr. Townsend made the dis
closure in speech before the Ma
tional Association of County Of
flcials. Mr.. Davis was scheduled to
speak, but was unable to be present
because of unexpected developments
in Washington
The former Indiana Governor de-
livered MIR. Davis speech, in which
the war food chief declared the
National Food Administration is ar
ranging to 'streamline the necessary
administrative authority to handle
| essential war work in State and
county"
Mr.. Davis said. I'VE hope to de-
velop State and county agencies ade-
quately stated to handle the many
wartime administrative problems in
the community where they can best
be handled and we want to do this
without robbing the existing agen-
cles now struggling with them of
the time they need for their regular
| duties, many of which are them
selves of even more Importance in
! wartime"
Problems which communities may
be expected to handle include issu-
ing OF permits and setting the su-
pervlslng quotas for local slaughter
Of livestock. of certifying and issuing
livestock shipping permits in event
OF a market glut or transportation
| shortage.
Mr.. Davis revealed that I'VE have
made great progress, more than |
/ had expected to be able 20 report
by this time" in increased produc-
ton of farm machinery.
Regulations must come out OF
Washington, he added. to prevent
boarding of farm machinery by in
! dlvldual farmers, 'and to assist in
seeing to it that farm machinery
and equipment go to those who
need them most and make the best
use of them"
Mr. Davis pledged his efforts in
Washington to assist local officials
lin the responsibility that is rightly
yours-earned by your record
through the years-to manage in
the community the vital activities
that are the affairs of the COM
munity."
Other measures than those avail
able to the Office of Price Admin
istration must be taken to prevent
the threat of disastrous inf1ation'
stemmlng from increased national
income, Deputy OPA Director Clyde
L. Herring told the officials 1t is
already apparent that we will have
, this year a national income approx
imately 100000 in excess of
the supply Of consumable goods
available for civilian consumption, -
Mr.. Herring said.
TT is clear that if this volume of
money shall be left available in the
open market to bid for the limited
goods available, there will be disas-
trOuS imitation in spite of all the
Office Of Price Administration can
do.
The former Iowa Senator said that
possibly Government subsidies to
encourage production" is the answer
to the dual problem of holding prices
down for the consumer and insuring
adequate return for the producer.
