measure would be blow at morale
and the nations children, there was
no reason to believe that he was in

Senator Davis Urges
Hoover as Food Gar

Former President Hoover was pro-
posed yesterday as the Nations food
czar. as one of several men who
could bring order out of the chaos
which now surrounds the entire food
program The suggestion came
from his long time friend. Senator
Davis, Republican. of Pennsylvania.
In a speech delivered on the
Senate floor, Senator Davis urged
the administration TO make use Of
the ability and experience OF such
men as Mr.. Hoover in this hour
of peril to our Nations food pro-
duction program and to our Nation S
overall war effort
Senator Davis said was convinced
that Mr.. Hoover's broad experience
"eminently qualities him for this
all-important position.
Resignation of Chester c. Davis
as food administrator has once
again brought to light the serious
and inexcusable confusion which at
tends the food production effort. u
Senator Davis asserted.
Any concerted continuation of
the administrative chaos which now
marks this program can only serve
to undermine the confidence OF our
people. leave our food production
program in state of intolerable
disorganization and bring immeas-
urable damage to the war effor.
Of this Nation and to that of our
Allies
If these steps are not taken by
the administration. Senator Davis
said he would not hesitate to recon-
mend that Congress undertake the
job by law.
