While some non-Chinese quarters
consider this too high, it is gen.
orally believed that a substantial
number of Japanese have been killed
or wounded and that altogether a
notable comeback has been achieved.
The main accomplishment has
been the safeguarding of communi-
cations between Chungking and
Human Province, which at one time
were dangerously near disruption.

some to our allies. But that isn't the whole
story. We are sending tremendous amounts
of cheese We are sending evaporated and
dried milk Other factors, too, enter into
the situation: the high spending power of
our people this year, the seasonal nature of
production, the terrific load on our dis
tribution machinery. But the essential fact
remains: we would have plenty if we were
not sharing with our fighting men and allies.

thought more of our stomachs and appe-
tites than we do of the way of life for which
our friends and loved ones are fighting.
But we have made our choice We are

properly, can have healthful and we'll

can't do the managing. Every housewife.
every consumer, will have part of the
job to do It will mean adjustments and
sacrifices and inconvenience. But just
remember this: every time our armies
occupy additional territory. it means that
we must make new adjustments and sacri-
fees in order to stretch our food supply
to help feed the people who have been
starving under Axis rule. Thus each ad-
justment you are asked to make is one
more milepost on the road to victory.
In the meantime, here are some positive
things that we can do to help stretch the
food supply:
]. Buy and serve only a. much food
as you and your family need. Then
lick the platter clean. The garbage
Gun is potentially Saboteur No. 1.
Z. Plan and carry through a Vic-
tory Garden, if you haze the proper
soil and the knowledge.
;. Raise some chickens or some
pigs, if you hare the facilities and
kn0sU hosc to do it. Or keep a coo to
produce your oscn milk.
4. Buy the foods sOIsich are most
plentiful. We haze lots Of sOheat, for
instance, and ,ckole-sUheat products
are especially nutritious.
5. Use fresh fruits and vegetables
in season. This soues tin.
s. Learn and follosU the sOartirae
nutrition rules. The British haze
proved that ,ce can have sounder diets
than eper on a more limited supply
Of food, if zoe use it right.
I. Cooperate on ratiOnins pro-
grams. They are the keystone Of
sound food management in these
soar times.
3. Tell your family and friends the
real story Of food in this soor - that
food is a soeap0n.

mainstay of armies whose food has to be
shipped overseas. There will be less canned
fruit and vegetables than we might like
to buy, and 50 we shall get our share on
ration cards - and send the rest to fight.
As a matter of fact - and the sooner
we face it, the better - there will be less
of most foods. Less of the kinds that can
be shipped and stored, because we must
send them to war Less of the other kinds
because demand will be shifted to them.
The other day a friend of ours was be-
moaning the fact that when she went to
get her usual pound of butter she was able

remembered the day, some months
before, when had asked the War Produc-
ton Board for priorities on some tin cans,
60 that we could ship some canned pota-
toes to the British Middle East Forces.
It had seemed little wasteful at the time.
Tin is scarce And when you can potatoes,
you have to can lot of water with them
Still, it was the only way we could be sure
of getting those fighters potatoes. So we
got priorities and shipped the potatoes.
In GLAD we did. When tin cans and food
can defeat Germans - or Japs, either -
I'm sure every American will agree that
we must send them to do the job.
But it definitely means fewer tin cans
and less food here at home. For us, there
won't be any canned potatoes. because we
can get along without them. There won't
be much canned meat, because we can get
along without that, too, whereas it is the

POLITE. A friend of ours is patent
attorney and one of his clients is now
city manufacturer. Among other things,
his client created that pincishion carica-
ture of Hitler which the President keeps

Henry Ford Expected
To Take Over for Son
Detroit Paper Says
He'll Succeed EdseI
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, May %. - The Free
Press says Henry Ford, "in all prob
ability" will assume the presidency
of the Ford Motor Co. at a meeting
of company executives Monday
morning.
Mr.. Ford, who will be 80 years old
July 30, thus will take over for a
second time the direction of the
company he founded.
He relinquished the presidency in
1919 when his only son, the late
Edsel Ford, became president and
since then has held no formal office
with the company. Edsel Ford died
last Wednesday.
Edsels older sons. Henry Ford I'd
and Benson Ford, are directors of
the company and have had training
in the Ford plants, but both are in
the armed forces and cannot be con-
sidered at this time, the Free Press
pointed out.
The fact that he is approaching
his 80th birthday anniversary is ex-
pected to prove no handicap to
Henry Ford He is in good health
and daily visits to his plants and
laboratories have enabled him tc
keep in touch with the operations OF
his far-fung enterprise.
For the last six months, ever since
Edsel's health began to fail, the
paper says. Henry Ford has been
stepping up, little by little, his con
troll over Ford activities.

Farmers Union Hits
Extension Workers
Charges They Promote
Rival Organization

The National Farmers Union as
serted last night that employees of
State agricultural extension serv-
ices frequently do promotion work
for the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton and demanded that Con-
gress put a stop to it.
James G. Patton, president of the
NFU, filed with the Senate Appro-
priations Committee a statement
citing numerous instances where,
he said. extension services had dis
patched franked mail in the inter-
est Of the farm bureau.
He also said that in one instance
in Wyoming, a county extension
agent sought out an organizer for
the NFU and advised him not to
try to organize in that State" but
to leave.
Mr.. Patton asked that Congress
forbid extension service employees,
hired either from funds directly ap-
propriated by Congress or from
matching funds contributed by the
States, counties or any other source
from doing private farm organiza-
tons work of any type"
1T should be made effective" he
added, "by requiring that Federal
funds appropriated to the extension
service of any State shall be i'm
pounded if they retain and refuse or
neglect to dismiss from their en-
ployment any person who has vio-
lated the law on the subject"

determining how many are loyal to
this country and how many are loyal
to Japan
He pointed out that the War
Department had tried to find the
answer through missionaries sent
all Japanese males in the camps
between II and 81 years of age and
that "a per cent in their replies
openly avowed allegiance to Japan.
He added, however the committee
has evidence that great many
other Japanese have no use for a
democracy.
Release OF the Japanese, it was
recalled in one official quarter, was
vigorously opposed by the Commit
tee On Natural Americans of the
American Legion, which adopted a
resolution in April which said in
part:
That the japanese. whether alien
or American born, be kept under
military control to the extent of
excluding them from the special
privilege of leaving the concentra-
ton centers to attend universities
or colleges"
The Dies Subcommittee expects to
leave Washington early this week
for Los Angeles. AS soon as it re-
turns. about the middle of June, and
files a report with the full commit
tee, there will be a series of public
hearings on the subcommittee find
ings at which officials of the WRA
are to be called as the principal

Davis Takes Charge
OF Milk Controversy
Delivery Tie-up Faces
New York and Vicinity
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 20. - WLB
Chairman William H. Davis late to-
day took charge of a work contro-
versy between metropolitan milk
dealers and union drivers, advising
the union that continued objection
to the ODT order Of skip-day de-
lveries would put them in opposi-
ton to their Government in time Of
war"
Mr.. Davis entered the case as the
milk delivery situation threatened
hotels. restaurants and other large
users in the New York metropolitan
area, Northern New Jersey and
Westchester County with a milkless
and creamless Sunday.
The drivers made their normal re-
tall and wholesale deliveries early
today but baked at taking out an
extra days supply for large users on
their unions instructions. Under
the skip-a-day order, there would be
no milk delivery in the area until
ASAoiAOdy.
Union leaders gave no indication
OF any change in plans after Mr..
Davis had conferred with Michael
j. Cashal, international president of
the Brotherhood of Teamsters and
Chauffeurs (AFI, union officials
and Ralph T. Seward, impartial
chairman of the Metropolitan Milk
Distributors Commission. on the
union claim that the order would be
equivalent to making deliverymen
distribute double loads every other
| day.
/ The WLB chairman issued a type
written statement after the confer
ence, which said Mr.. Davis was III
New York on personal affairs and
had been invited to attend the ses-
sion. He said the conferees had a
very full discussion of everything
involved in the ODT order" at his
own Office.

LETTERS, Patterson to Visit
Rubber Programs Cradle

BATON ROUGE, La, May 20 LP).
The Nations rubber czar, William
NJ. Jeffers, has his cradle of syn
thetic rubber" rocking energetically
for prideful display to top Army.
Navy and production chiefs arriv-
ing with him here tomorrow.
Already more than half the vast
Baton Rouge 70,OO0-ton rubber
facilities are in production, a feat
attributed by Mr. Jeffers, during his
recent feud with Undersecretary of
War Patterson, to vigorous action
rather than sitting around desks
and issuing orders and grousing."
Now Mr.. Jeffers and Mr.. Patter-
son, having buried the hatchet pub
licly in their dispute over priorities,
are making their promised tour to-
gether, Their avowed purpose is
to review the situations on the
ground to the end that any bottle
necks that may be found may be
broken for the benefits of the re-
lated programs"
Accompanying them to Baton
Rouge, first stop in inspecting
Southwest gasoline and rubber
plants, will be Undersecretary of the
Navy Forrestal, Charles E. Wilson,
War Production Board vice chair
man; Ralph K. Davies deputy pc
troleum administrator, and other
leading officials.
Mr.. Jeffers came here a month
ago, described as the maddest
1rishman in the United States
threatening either he or Mr.. Pat
terson would have to quit Washing
ton. Mr.. Patterson claimed the
rubber program had been pushed
ahead at the expense of materials
for badly needed aviation gasoline
plants, but MIR. Jeffers denied it..
Abruptly they made up.
It was while here that Mr.. Jeffers
said that Baton Rouge is the cradle
OF the synthetic rubber industry. :"
Nestled beside the huge Standard
Oil Co. refinery, one of the worlds
largest. are three plants producing
synthetic rubber. Two more are
under construction. In addition,
there are numerous plants making
necessary synthetic rubber in
gradients.
