Food Shortage Caused
By Crop Losses

Two more getables-lettuce and
spinach-were under price ceilings
today following an order by the
Office of Price Administration last
night.
Prices on these two commodities
were pegged at maXimums not to
exceed the highest price charged by
individual stores during the past five
days. Previously, the OPA had
established price ceilings on fresh
cabbage, carrots, snap beans, peas
and tomatoes.
All of the ceilings are on a 60-day
basis. Before the expiration of this
period, however, OPA officials hope
to have worked out a permanent
price schedule for these items and
probably some other fruits and vege-
tables which are still uncontrolled
May Order Increases.
At the same time, local OPA Offices
were given authority to increase the
price of the seven controlled vege-
tables whenever necessary to remedy
local inequities.
The price ceilings were made
necessary because of the shortage
expected to be felt soon. 1t will result
from frost damage to large sections
of the spring vegetable crop as we'll
as from an increased demand for
fresh products following rationing
Of canned goods and dried fruits.
Despite reports circulated in some
sections of the country, the OPA
yesterday emphasized that rice is
not rationed. OPA officials said that

|ndio's Leaders Reported Urging
'Strong-Arm' Methods by British
U. 5, Writer Says They Want Provisional
Government Set Up Immediately

Strong-arm methods, that is, to set
up provisional national govern
ment and let those who didn't want
to play the game stay out.
War Effort Is Tie.
This provisional government would
bear the stamp of the sovereignty
which England has promised India.
But it would leave exact details to
be worked out and would make its
first business the winning of the war
The war effort would be the bond to
unite the various factions. The gen.
eral view expressed to me was that
everybody would come in.
What surprised me was to discover
Indain leaders themselves sub
scribing to such an arbitrary pro-
cedure. Still, bit of study dis
closes the logic of the proposal
Britain already has promised India
absolute independence. That's what
counts. 1t is side issues and argu-
ments over methods of procedure
which have been blocking settle
ment.
In saying this. I don't mean to
dismiss lightly the political, religious
and social differences involved in
these issues. They represent one of
the greatest problems of its kind
in the history of any country.
The point is, however, that argu-
ment over these differences only
protracts the agony and doesn't get
anywhere.
That's why we find even Indians
coming to the conclusion that the
only solution lies in the application
of arbitrary methods which will
push the secondary considerations
aside and inaugurate the free gov
ernment which is the soul Of the
Indian crusade.

they provided they can buy
spare parts.
But these spare parts, according
to information reported to the
White House, have been made pur-
posely scarce. Big farm implement
people are accused by White House
advisers of keeping repair paris
off the market in order to force
the War Production Board to re-
lent on its order against the whole
sale manufacture of implements.
If this is correct, the strategy
has been successful. For the WPB
ban has now been lifted.
NOTE: White House advisers also
have reported that most farmers
are working heart and soul for
the war and are not basically anti
Roosevelt. However, the President
was told that they are being
aroused by the big farm Hobbies
and by agents of farm machinery
companies.

midas CONTRIBUTION

midas contribution, in men and materials, to
the victories in North Africa has hitherto been as
little known it is remarkable.
The smashing of Mussolinis Abyssnian Empire,
the route of Romme1s ''nvincible" Afrika Korps
along the lOOO-mile stretch from Ell Alamein to
Tunis the outflanking of the Mareth line, and the
final capture of the Naz General Won Arnim-in all
these achievements Inda's fighting notably the
crack Fourth Indian Division of Generalt Mont
gomerys Eighth Army played magnificent role.
In the words of Field Marshal Wavell, midas
Commander Chief, the Fourth Indian Division
has record of engagements and victories unstr
passed by any other division of the Allied fighting
forces in this war Even up to Ell Alanein it had
suffered some $1,000 casualties or 100 percent of its
strength, but had captured 100000 German and
italian prisoners apart from the many casualties it
had inflicted.
All this however, is only one half of the story.
The other half concerns the field of supplies
in which midas contribution though less known,
has been impressive.
For the first two and half years of the war in
North Africa, India almost wholly responsible
for supplying the bulk of stores to this theatre.
Many hundreds of steel huts and sheds for
housing troops in training and similar structures for
military garages hospitals and airplane hangers,
were manufactured in India from Indian steel. The
total area of these structures would well over
a thousand acres.

FARM TOOLS

President Roosevelt has on his
desk a report which may mean
plenty of trouble for the big farm
machinery companies.
The report states that in the
Middle West, some of the farm
implement companies not only
have been spreading poison against
him, but also have been withhold
ing machinery parts in order to
force the government into resum-

We Americans and industrial magic must

less resourceful people it might have been fatal.
The average American has come to trust so
much in the ability of science and industry to give
him what he needs that he had no fear that the
problem would go unsolved His concern was how
long it would take.
Now it looks if the Japs will have reason for
further annoyance, because each month brings us

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
THURSDAY, AUGUST S

This is an unimportant day in
planetary direction. The aspects
may encourage sensitiveness and
depression.
HEART AND HOME: Owing to
ration card limitations summer
Inequalities which are necessarily
restricted will teach lasting lessons
in wise economies Women who
have studied food values through
the canning season will become ex-
perts in providing wholesome men
us at small cost Thus the sump-
tuous entertainments of the past
will become foolish as viewed from
wartime experiences This means
that in the future economies will
continue to prevail and oldtime
dinners of many courses will ap-
pear as exhibitions of bad taste.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Prosper
ity will continue unabated through
the month but dealers in many
lines of rationed merchandise will
have cause to complain about au
tumn hazards. AS in the prohibi-
ton period the government will
meet many obstacles that prevent
law enforcement regarding black
markets which viii flourish, much
to the disgrace of patrons. Prepar-
ations for winter trade by dealers
who ignore Government provisions
will be made with extreme cunning
and elaborate safeguards, the seers
forecast. Amateur butchers VIII o
slaughtered stolen cattle in the
pastures will have learned profess
sional methods.
NATIONAL ISSUES: United Ma
lions progress toward final victo-
ries will cause thousands of Amer
lean citizens to make plans for
relatives who have been victims of
/ the Axis powers in Asia and Eu
rope. AS millions of suffering per-
sons look to the United States as
the place of haven, the seers pre-
dict that there will be anxiety lest
refugee problem of greatest sig
nificance. be presented to the ma
ton. If the stars are wisely inter
preted many distinguished men and
women will be welcomed to the
United States at time when num-
beers of American technical experts
are sent to ravaged countries for
reconstruction work.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S:
Savagery revealed in the war by
desperate Axis fighters will arouse
extreme indignation. Again both
Nazi and Japanese soldiers will in
dulge in fiendish cruelties which
spur the Allies to the most amaz-
ing deeds of courage. The stars
presage long casualty lists from
United Nations forces but each
loss will represent deeds of valor
that add to assurance of mighty
victories The next three months
will test the fortitude of American
wives and mothers,
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of extra
ordinary experiences. Financial
matters will be satisfactory but
separation from loved ones will
cause heartaches.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be talented and trust
worthy. The stars seem to smile
upon these Leo natives.

After flying to Lisbon and thence
to Madrid. a Spanish plane carried
him to Milan, italy, from where he
was driven to the Vatican with an
escort of italian soldiers.
In several of his transatlantic
talks with Archbishop Spellman,
Plus XII mentioned Russia and ex-
pressed hope that some way could
be found to bring about a religious
accord which would endure in post
war years. The Pope made it clear
that he looked to President Roose-
welt to blaze the trail.
When this was made known to
Roosevelt shortly before Archbishop
Spellmans departure, the President
pledged his whole hearted assis-
lance. He urged the church leader
TO act as his personal intermediary
with the Vatican and make full
report to him on his return to the
United States.
Present plans call for direct ne
gotiations by the U. S. ambassador
in Moscow, with the possibility that
the Pope may send a personal en-
voy to talk things over with Pre-
mier Stain
NOTE: It was natural for the
Pope to turn to President Roose-
welt to aid in effecting a concordat
with Russia, for Plus XII stayed
with the Roosevelts at Hyde Parl;

States as Papal secretary of state

HIRAM JOHNSON RECEIVERS

Doctors at the Naval Hospital
have reported to Roosevelt's per-
sonal physician, Admiral Ross Nc
Intyre, that there was one thing
entirely beyond their power which
turned the tide in the recent ILL
ness of Senator Hiram johnson Of
California.
Senator Johnson, stricken with
pneumonia last winter at the age
of IT, was not expected to hive.
Newspaper reports speculated that
in case Of his death, Republican
Gov. Warren of California would
appoint Hedbert Hoover to John
sons seat.
After about the second day Of
Johnsons illness he was in an oxy-
gen tent His condition was not
good when Mrs johnson came to
see him. Opening the door Of the
oxygen tent, she told her husband !:
Hiram, there is one thing
think ought to tell you. The
newspapers are saying that in. case
anything happens to you, Herbert
Hoover will take your place in the
Senate.
