U.S 5. Delegation Urge!
Food Increases for
Heavy Workers
Memorandum Declares
Stomp Program May
Have to Be Revised
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HOT SPRINGS, Va, May 25.-
The United States delegation to the
United Nations Food Conference
held out the possibility today OF
Government-sponsored increases in
food for workers who need more
than their ration cards allow them
now.
The delegation submitted a men,
orandum that said this country may
have to revive its food stamp pro-
gram and some similar measures OF
distribution to accomplish this idea
Some of these activities may have
to be revived and strengthened as
the war goes on in order that avail
able supplies of food may be dis
trlbuted to people who need them
most" the memorandum said.
Agriculture Department experts
here as conference advisers SAID
thought had been given to the
revival of Government distribution
measures as supplement to con-
sumer rationing
They said the Government was
confronted by the contention that
persons engaged in heavy physical
work should have larger portions OF
some foods than those engaged in
less strenuous activities.
The food stamp program or sys-
tenn of industrial canteens might be
used, they said, to provide heavy
workers, particularly those in lower
income groups with supplies in
addition to their regular ration
allowances.
They cited the use in Great Britain
Of canteens in factories, docks, build =
ing sites, mines ana quarries to pro-
vide heavy workers with extra food
Other programs which the United
States has used to obtain wider food
distribution include direct Govern
ment purchase and distribution to
needy families. particularly those on
relief. free school lunch and penny
milk programs.

House Puts Off Test
On Anti-Strike Bill
Until Next Week
My Sees Possibility
OF Clearing Measure
Without Fight
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Abandoning plans to force
vote this week on the Connally-
Smith anti-strike bill, House
managers of the controversial
measure announced today they
would demand action early next
week, either with or without ad-
ministration aid.
Earlier plans to seek a vote this
week we've dropped, said Chairman
May of the Military Affairs Com
mittee, because of possibility of
getting clearance for the bill next
week without fight over procedure
Approved in Committee.
The Military Affairs Committee
approved the measure more than a
week ago by 21-0 vote, and while
the Rules Committee already has
approved procedure for sending it to
the floor, the House leadership failed
to put !, on this weeks program. It
was explained that action at this
time, with the soft coal truce still in
effect, might put the House in the
position of antagonizing labor while
peace Negotiations are in progress.
However, any member of the Rules
Committee may call up the bill at
any time and at least two members.
Representative Smith, Democrat, OF
Virginia and Representative Colmer,
Democrat, of Mississippi, are re-
ported ready to call it up on short
notice.
II believe there will be no diff
Guilty getting the bill up next week. I"
Mr.. May said. There is likeli-
hood it will be put on the program
and it will be passed overwhelmingly
when we get around to it."
Primary Purpose.
Certainly" he added, no one can
oppose legislation intended solely to
keep the wheels of industry moving
to turn out materials needed to de-
feat the enemy. All the bill does is
prohibit strikes in Government-op-
Grated plants and provide orderly
procedure under which they may be
called in other plants 1t is intend
ed primarily to keep production
moving"
Backers OF the bill said they were
willing to accept amendments to
eliminate some of the objections of
organized labor, including a provi-
sion preventing the War Labor
Board from issuing closed shop or
maintenance of union membership
orders.

War Ioda,
Official Scheme
TO Bomb Reich to
lis Knees Evolved
Nv CAPT. JOHN II. CRAIGE

By CAPT. JOHN II. CRAIGE
Written EsPeciAil, for Init NsN' service
Observers in Allied capitals
are pretty nearly unanimous IN
their belief that the sustained
dounpour Of high explosives by
the Allies on German cities IS
merely the preliminary spade
work for the tremendous bomb
Ing plan known TO be IN prepare
ton for bringing Germany 10
her knees
Official details are, Of course,
military secrets. But what pur-
ports 10 be its general outline
has been widely discussed in
technical magazines here and in
London.
ITS MAIN outlines are well
understood in military circles,
although, so far as this writer Is
aware. they have never before
been hlueprinted in full in a non
technical publication.
Origin Of the scheme traces
back TO Just about a year ago,
when Air Marshal Arthur T.
Harris OF the Raj announced
that he had evolved plan for
bringing Hitler's realm 10 her
knees by air action, and that,
given enough bombers, he could
put il into effect.
Marshal Harris prescription
for Gripping Germany started
from the theory thatif soma 90
centers of communications and
heavy industry could be smashed
and kept smashed. the war po-
tential of the Reich would be so
reduced that its army would be
a pushover for Allied land inva-
sion.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-03-12

THIS VASTLY impressed mill
itary leaders and statesmen IN
charge of United States and
British war effort. The Harris
plan seemed 10 make sense.
Soon the l.. S. air command
set up headquarters in the Brit
ish Isles. Reports of the ire
mendous building-up proce ss
that has taken place since have
convinced most observers that
preparations are proce @ d n &
apace for putting Harris plan
to the test OF war.
Unquestionably in the many
months that have passed since
that time. vast amount OF
staff work has been devoted 10
figuring out the three dominant
principles of the plan, namely,
exactly which German centers
and how many will be bombed,
how many bombs and how many
bonbers will be needed, and how
will bombs be landed on their
targets.
: APPARENTLY RE c f n T
specifications of the plan call for
che division of Germany and
Eerman-occupied Europe into
three zones for tactical purposes.
. The first of these is 10 consist
OF territory included within an
arc 200 miles from London, the
second twice that distance, and
the third comprising targets up
20 800 miles or more from the
British Isles.
