Some Sugar For The Boys
BY RAY PEACOCK
Ap Features Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 17.-Betty
Garrett made her debut in musical
comedy when she was the third
blonde from the left in the infants
ward of a hospital in 6. Joseph,
Mo. When she cried, she had a
basso Erofundo, and she gave the
nurses Mysteries.
Today the grown-up Betty, who
can hit c above middle c and IS
treat to the eve as well as the
ear, is one of the reasons why
Michael Todd has struck gold with
his musical, Something For The
Boys.
An added starter in a brilliant
cast headed by Ethel Norman,
Betty is the extra cup of coffee,
the nylon stockings. the second
spoonful of sugar that Mr. Todd
has conjured up in these days of
rationing.
She was given one of the songs
which had been left over after
Miss Norman and her leading
man. Bill Johnson. had received
their quota. It's called I'm In Love

is surprising. If you just listen on
the radio and read things they say

will think we are destitute and

But the ones saying all this and

Patents for such developments
have just been granted by the

find a regular ash tray, there
would be no need of flicking
your cigaret on the sly behind

do would be to take your own
tray out Of your pocket. It's a
cup-shaped gadget with several
trough-like little arms which can
be slid from the main receptacle
and projected outwardly for
holding your cigaret.
Lock For NIGHT Owls
The illuminating door lock is

Food rationing won't end with
the armistice. It's considered a
certainty in Washington that RAJ
tlonlag will continue at least
through the first crop year after
hostiiities cease.
And there's no guarantee il
will end then.
From Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard's statement that Food
will win the war and write the
peace" through Vice President
Wallace's postwar plans, there is
the clear implication from Adj
ministration sources that food will
implement our military and diplo-
matte policies during and after
the war.
One announced purpose of the
rehabilitation organization headed
by Herbert Lehman is feeding the
peoples liberated from the Nazi
yoke. Our allies, now drawing food
supplies from our production pool,
will have clear claim on further
food supplies during the recon-
struction period.
1t is even probable that the van
quished Axis peoples will have to
be fed while the postwar world is
being fashioned.
III On Short Rations
Everything points to a whole
world on short rations for at least
one crop year after the war, the
u. S. no less than other nations.
IL could take longer.
No clear formula for food dis
tribution has been advanced in
the postwar world suggestions.
Those who have considered the
problem suggest that some food
items will be taken from the
shortage class almost at once. Right
now coffee, sugar and cocoa are
scarce because of shipping shos
ages. Huge stocks exist in In
producing countries. awaiting oalz
shipring that will be 9railaole al
most on armistice day.
The mastering ont IF millions
of farm laborers, and the release
of farm workers now in war in
dustry, should ease the farm lahn-
problem in the first peacetirae
crop year.

Simple Explanation
BY FRANK r. KENT

/ TtSlutHL ) attitude toward the press
in connection with the United Ma
tons Food Conference, to be held at
Hot Sprigs, Va, early next month, an
interesting theory has been evolved.
SO far it is the only one advanced
that adequately accounts for his
strange insistence that, at all costs,
the independent newspaper CORES
dents must not be allowed to come
into contact with the delegates nor
get frst-hand information about any
save the purely formal opening and
closing sessions.
$50
This was the Presidents idea at the
start. When opposition developed he
backtracked on it. Finally, he returned
to his first position and the main pur-
pose of the conference as now alrang-
ed under his orders is to carry out this
idea. That seems an extraordinary
statement, but there is foundation for
it. Except as a precedent, the handi-
caps placed on the newspapers in this
instance are not very important, but
as precendent they are very impor
tant No such calculated effort to sup
press legitimate news and interfere
with the freedom of the press, without
even the semblance of military rea-
son, has ever been made in America
by a public official Nearly all of Mr..
Roosevelt'S better balanced friends re-
gard it as bad judgment on his part.
Even the righteous Mr.. Elmer Davis
opposed it, The reaction in Congress
and in the country is bad, and the
Republicans are certain to use it as
an issue later on. In the end it will
prove to have been worse than flu
tile. That is the feeling in circles sur
prisingIy close to the White House.
&#A
In face of all this, it is natural to
ask what is behind these Roosevelt
OINC IlC SuSSGSIlOiIS IIIdI ne Is
irritated with the press, that the taste
he had at Casablanca Of being able to
dictate what should go in the news
papers was so pleasant that he wants
to do it all the time; that he thinks,
if unrestricted in reporting the con-
ference, the reporters might play one
nation against the other and thus
make trouble; that he believes bet
ter results generally can be attained
if the Government controls the confer
ence news and gives to the press only
what it consdeksshould be transmit
ted to the people-none Of these sug-
gestions really stand up. Some Of
them are silly. Unless there were
something more it seems most unlike
ly that any President would adopt a
course so clearly calculated to stir
resentment and bring reprisals in the
form of Congressional action, for so
small a gain.
