In his first press conference in
about two weeks, Mr.. Knox was
questioned on the Navy's prolonged
silence on operations against Kiska
Island. His comment: You know
the old story-no news is good
news"
There has been no announced
action against KiSka since July 30.
When the Secretary was asked why
there should be such an absence of
information about an island on
which announcements previously
had been made almost daily, he said
that he presumed bad weather had
brought about period of inactivity.
A reporter suggested that warships
which bombarded the island several
times during July should be able to
operate regardless of the weather.

mark about no news

Turning to submarine warfare
Mr.. Knox said that combat losses
and Allied bombings of production
centers undoubtedly were compelling
the Germans to gig into their u
boat reserves in order to operate
against Allied supply lines in the
Atlantic.
Commenting on the announce
ment by President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill that more
than 80 submarines were destroyed
in May, June and July by Allied
antisubmarine weapons, the Secre-
tary said it must also be true that

That, Mr. Knox told his press

loss of the ships because of the diff

Food Report AssaiIed
By Wickard as Going
Beyond Job Assigned

Members OF the Food Advisory
Subcommittee. who were given the
assignment of setting up standards
for allocating American food sup
plies, only to return a critically
worded appraisal of the whole war
food program, have been repri-
manded by Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard for what he described as
straying from their appointed task.
Mr.. Wickard. chairman of the
Food Advisory Committee. made the
report last night after department
officials earlier in the day had re-
fused to confirm published accounts
of the survey on the grounds the
50-page survey was confidential"
Says Authority Was Exceeded.
The Secretary said that whereas
the subcommittee was supposed
only to set up standards ''to be
used in ALLEGATION of United States
food supplies among the various
claimants 1t exceeded the assign
ment given it and went into the
whole food situation. He indicated
that its recommendation on these
'other matters" would be ignored.
Chairman of the subcommittee
was E. w. Gaumitz, formerly of the
Office of Economic Warfare. Others
included Abe Fortas, Undersecretary
Of Interior; Brig. Gen. Carl A.
Hardiff of the War Department;
Dewey Anderson of the Office of
Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation
Bernard Knollenberg of lease-lend
and J. NJ Cassels of War Food
Administration.
Among the findings of the group
were that rigid adherence to the

greatest obstacle to realistic war

up to assure farmers the same rela-
tive purchasing power for farm
products they enjoyed in a past,

Called Individual Opinion.
Also stated by the committee were
these main points: The Nation s
food supplies are inadequate to meet
present essential war needs; the
United States never has been and
cannot become the food basket for
the United Nations; food supplies
should be developed abroad; Amer
lean civilian food needs should not
be considered leftovers, and subsi-
dies should be employed within limi-
tations. 1t urged the Government
to take the public into its confidence
and tell the whole truth promptly
and effectively"
''The subcommittee exceeded the
assignment given it and made rec
concentrations on a number of mat
ters," Mr.. Wickard said. THE Food
Advisory Committee considers as an
official study and report only those
parts of the subcommittee recon-
mendations which pertain to the
original assignment. Other recon-
mendations that the subcommittee
has made should be taken only DIS
