y. s. 10 Buy Sauerkraut
In Bulk From Packers

The War Food Administration
announced yesterday that the Gov
eminent will offer to buy all stocks
Of bulk sauerkraut remaining in
packers hands at the end of the

The move is designed, the VIA

cause of lack of SUFFICIENT consumer

No tin has been allocated for
civilian supplies of kraut and clos
ures for glass containers may not
be available, the VIA said.
The agency explained that its
offer, however, would apply only to

from cabbage contracted and paid
for at not less than $12 ton, the
recently announced grower support
prices.

letter from Dillard B. Lasseter, staff
director of the investigating COM
mittee, said he was anxious to reply
promptly.
Mr.. Lasseter's letter to the Com
missioners asked for facts on three
questions:
l. A complete list of all appnca-
tions and promotions within the
Bureau of Sanitation since January
/, 1912.
2. Full information on the special
qualification of personnel in the
bureau who received promotions
during '"the aforementioned Pc
riod."
3. why no action has been taken
by your board in the case of Ralph
B. O'Brien, inspector, Bureau of
Sanitary Inspection, who requested
an appeal of his efficiency rating as
early as March 18, 1943, and no
further action has been taken?"
The complaints alleged that some
employees with as much as Is years
service had received no pay in
creases while others were granted
raises after serving only six months.
Health Officer George c. Rutland,
who has supervision over the Bu-
reau Of Sanitation, expressed belief
the complaints were made by in
spectors who were hoping for re-
classification following retirement
more than year ago of j. Frank
Butts, former chief of the bureau.
Difficulty in finding sanitation
engineer, it was said, has delayed
changes in the staff.
There was no disposition not, to
grant promotions, DR.. Ruhland de-
clared. They simply have been
withheld until director is OBJ
tanned"
DR.. Rutland explained that
neither civil service nor the United
States Public Health Service had
produced man for the vacant post.
Sanitation engineers, he said, have
been in great demand for service
in the armed forces, so it has been
almost impossible to find a new
director.

Clash Over Campaign
In Corsica Reported

NEW YORK, Sept. IS tP,.--Broad-
casting from Algiers, Don Hollen-

reliable sources" last night as re-
vealing that Gems. Henri Giraud
and Charles de Gaulle engaged in
heated controversy over the conduct
of the Corsican campaign, with Gen.
De Gaulle shouting:
You stole my Corsica"
The argument, 1t was said, ended
with Gen. de Gaulle attempting to
have Gen. Giraud removed as
French commander in chief.
Mr.. Hollenbeck said Gen. de
Gaulle was said to have been
particularly incensed at what he
feels is Giraud's unfair attitude
toward the Italians on Corsica.
The correspondent quoted "re-
liable informants' as saying that
"Giraud is accused of sighting the
real contribution made by the
Italians toward the success Of the
present drive against the German
forces and has given them credit
only as labor troops"
Mr.. Hollenbeck reported that in
formation indicated that the Corsi-
can campaign began entirely as a
homegrown affair, staged by
Corsican patriots who had no
particular interest in either gem
eral. The moment the uprising be-
came known in Algiers, Giraud
rushed battalion of soldiers to the
island, and was Immediately accused
by de Gaulle of trying to engineer

Germans Using Tanks.
Despite the unsuitability of the

Nazis were using tanks in small
numbers to augment the firepower
of sharpshooting 88-mm artillery

German efforts to supply and re-
inforce the large force resisting the
5th Army was hampered greatly by
the steady bombing and strafing of
highways, bridges and railroads all
the way from the vicinity of the
battle-ground to Pisa, far north of
Rome.

DETROIT, Sept. ,25.-Pvt. Harry
Barany, the draftee who reported
to the Fort Custer reception center
with his two tiny daughters in tow,
won't have to worry about the girls
when he puts on his uniform
Monday.
Pvt. Barany said yesterday that
the Red Cross has found a home
for the girls, Joan, 6, and Jane, S.,
with private family.
When Pvt. Barany reported to
Fort Custer, he told officers that
he had been unable to find home
for his daughters and had nowhere
to take them. He told Army and
selective service officials that his
wife had deserted him two years
ago and that he had been making
a home for the girls at a hotel.
Sympathetic officials granted him
furlough to give. him time to solve
the problem.
