MORE CANNED GOODS

Housewives who will get more
canned goods this summer can
thank the senate's Truman commit.
tee. No one announced it officially,
but it was due to their probing that
the army recently released 30 mil
lion cases of canned fruits and vege-
tables for civilian use.
The Truman committee had re-
vealed the fact that huge quanti-
ties Of canned goods were being
boarded or unwisely used by the
army. when fresh vegetables were
easily available. Especially reveal
ing was the cross-examination of
Gen. E. B. Gregory. the army's
quartermaster general, by Senator
Brewster of Maine.
Why does the army feed canned
grapefruit to its troops in Manu.
asked Brewster, when grapefruit is
growing fresh all over Florida?"
Because the men are toe lazy to
prepare fresh grapefruit was Gen
eral Gregory's frank reply.
He also admitted that green veee-
tables and fruits were readily avail
able to army camps during a large
part of the year, but that army COM
missaries purchased canned goods
because it was easier to prepare
than fresh vegetables.
The Truman committee also found
that as a result Of this boarding
the packers and Gamers were in a
quandary and expected to curtail
production. They knew the army
had overpurchased, could eve use
its vast stores of canned goods. So
the tanners figured the army would
dump this back on the market,
thereby causing an oversupply just
at the wrong time. That was why
80 million cases were turned back
to civilian use by the army now,
to ease the market while there is a
civilian shortage.

Bell Group Finishes
Probe Of Puerto Rico
Find New Industries
Needed to Make Jobs
BY the Associated Press.

SAN JUAN. Puerto Rico. June Is.
The Bell congressional committee
virtually completed its investigation
Of social. economic and political con-
ditions in Puerto Rico today after a
night session in which a witness de-
clared hugh population increase
had exhausted job possibilities in
agriculture.
Explaining functions Of the In
sular Development Corp, Teodoro
MoScoso, general manager of the
agency. declared it was devised to
take the risks" in developing new
industries to absorb surplus labor
when private capital failed to take
the initiative.
Senor Moscoso said it had engaged
a firm of industrial engineers, Ar
thur D. Little, Inc, of Cambridge,
Mass, to survey the islands indus
try and potentialities and that Mr.
Little's report now is used as the
basis for its activities.
A glass factory, scheduled for COM
pletion by December, is the only in
dustry yet started by the corpora =
tion, he said, but others are planned
including the making of bamboo
furniture and wallboard from cane
refuse.
A committee member expressed
surprise that private capital had not
entered these promising fields, and
Senor Moscoso replied:
It's puzzling to me, also. Perhaps
it's because for 400 years there S
been nothing here but sugar and
they are afraid to venture into any,
thing else because of lack of expert
ence."

BY the Associated Press.

AT THE GERMAN FRONTIER,
June 15.-Yugoslav partisan raids
along the old Hungarian frontier
have been resumer in considerable
force in the last three weeks and
have caused considerable disrup-
ton of Budapest Belgrade railway
service, it was reported today in
advices from Zagreb, Croatia.
Guerrilla fighters in this area
have been comparatively quiet in
the last six months, but the new
series of attacks cut the railway
several times. The line is most i'm
portant to the Nazis for shifting
troops to the Balkans. The guer-
rillas not only cut the rails on at
least two occasions but also made
direct attacks on trains and caused
number of casualties.
Intensifying efforts to erect
Adriatic defenses, the Germans are
reported to be evacuating residents
of the Dalmatian coast to a depth
Of 20 miles.

LONDON, June 15.-A Rome
radio commentator, in a broad
cast recorded here today, told
Italians to stand by for an Allied
invasion.
Our men are ready at their guns,
our planes are ready and our sailors
are on the watch" for the de
cisive phase approaching" he said.
Every Italian is ready to fight and
fight until final victory is achieved"
London newspapers quoted the
Rome radio as saying that Allied
warships and transports are mass
ing in the Sicilian Strait follow
ing Allied occupation of the tiny
island of Lampione, the last of
four islands in the channel to be
wrested from italian control.
Fourth Island Taken.
A Reuters dispatch from North
Africa reported the capture OF Lam
phone yesterday. saying it fell on
Sunday. The islands inhabitants
few lighthouse keepers-were re-
ported to have fed.
The German news agency DNB,
in a Berlin broadcast recorded by
the Associated Press, said today
that Axis air attacks were con-
tinuing against the Allies potential
invasion fleet in the Sicilian Strait.
German bombers damaged land
ing craft and six medium trans
ports of Pantelleria and in the
harbor, DNB said, and also reported
that heavy bombers attacked Bone
on the Algerian coast last night.
Further suggesting heavy Allied
shipping movements in the general
Mediterranean area, the German
communique said freighter had
been damaged by German air attack
off the Portuguese coast and four
Allied planes shot down in combat
in the same area.
Report Great Battle.
Axis planes have engaged Allied
conveys in "a battle which has now
lasted for three days and has not
lost any of it's violence" the Lon
don Express quoted the Rome radio
as saying. The newspaper said the
battle was reported to be in progress
in the triangular area between
Malta, Bizerte and the Sicilian
coast.
The Daily Herald quoted a Ger
man broadcast as saying that the
Allies had massed at Bizerte "a large
concentration OF means Of disem-
barkation" which were being ham,
mered by German planes. At least
20 landing barges were sunk during
a raid on the harbor, the broadcast
reported.
Axis radio commentators contin-
ued to speculate on where the next
Allied blow would fall, with the
consensus favoring Sicily and Sar-
DINA, and the majority believing
the attack would come this week.
Some London military commen-
tators, however, declared that the
Allied plans are "far ahead of sched-
ule" and recalled that Southern
European weather provides long
campaigning season-implying there
probably would be pause in Allied
activity
