20 Pei. Food Waste
Revealed in Army
Report 10 Senate
PIuns Coll for Feeding
2.l00,ooo Men Overseas;
Dehydrotion Needed
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Maj. Gen. E. B. Gregory, quarter
master general told the Senate War
Investigating Committee yesterday
that Army plans call for delivery of
food this year "for an average OF
100000 men overseas and 4,500 900
men in this country"
That would indicate that the num-
ber of men overseas by the end Of
the year will be far larger since Gen.
Gregory reduced the figures to the
general average for the entire year.
He said there we're 1.500 600 overseas
at the beginning Of the year. Army
plans are for total force of about
8,5O0,000 officers and men by the
first of 1914.
The committee, meanwhile, dis
closed that two-year study by the
Quartermaster Department of food
waste in selected Army camps
showed that more than a fifth of the
food was discarded.
However, Brig. Gen. James l..
Frink, deputy quartermaster general,
testified that the War Department
has issued instructions to all con-
cerned and by a system of further
inspection is in full control of the
situation" His testimony, taken at
a closed committee session April S,
was made public yesterday.
Much Waste. Shown.
The quartermaster report, as ex-
planned by Master Sergt. Horace S.
Schwerin of the Camp Lee quarter
master staff, showed 50 per cent of
the soup was thrown out. 80 per
cent OF the vegetables and 80 per
cent Of the cereals.
In a declining order of waste were
fish, potatoes, beverages, cheese,
eggs, meats, desserts and fruits, the
witness declared.
Sergt. Schwerin attributed the
waste to the basis of the ration is
sue, the ration's size, soldier food
preferences and mess management.
The corrective steps, he added,
comprised elimination of rations is
sued for men absent from meals,
reduction in the food ration from
1900 calories to 3,7OO, inclusion of
more popular foods and improved
mess management.
Rush Dehydration
In New York, William w. Black of
the research and development
branch, Quartermaste General'r Of
flee, said last night that millions
of tons of precious foods" were being
wasted because Of what he termed a
shortage of quick drying facilities.
He urged the Nations food process
sors to begin immediate large-scale
use of dehydration.
Mr.. Black, speaking at an exposi-
ton OF wartime packaging, declared: ::
I'VE need a total of 100000 900
pounds of dehydrated vegetables,
fruits and soups to meet already
known requirements for the 1894
fiscal year. That means we need 200
more plants at least-and right now
If we are to preserve this years
crops. Total dehydrated food re-
qulrements for that period call for
1,75O ,000, 900 pounds of assorted prod
ucts."

A New Order of Things

Rationing and other restrictions in our everyday life are gradually bringing about a new order of things. Hardly noticeable at first, gradually new adjust ments are being made, and our daily pro- gram of living is undergoing many changes. Take, for instance, the daily menu in the house. We had gradually grown into race of can openers, delica- tessen carriers, and easy-to-fix-it house. keepers. Involved cooking was losing prestige, since you could get 1t all SO easy, everything ready to eat with minimum of hand motion.
 But now that food is a bit scarcer as well as high in price the housewife must contrive ways and means. It Is no longer a case of-make 1t chops or steak. The housekeeper Is contrivlng ways and means, experimenting with egg and cheese and macaronl and noodles and what have you. She is doing spectacular things with leftovers, when she has them.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-02-02

She is thumbing the cook books and clip ping from food columns.
 F And, last but not least, she is again baking bread. The best in breads is to be had in our bakeries, but with restric- tions in the food budget it is economical to bake bread, or rolls or biscuits of one kind and another. The housewife today is often surprised what she can concoct without as much as putting,a daily or- der. With marked scarcity of canned soups in the stores and a new rationing to come which limits the number of cans that can be stored at time, our house. wife is also busy making soups out of odds and ends, out of much, we regret to say, that she formerly threw into the dis card. The housewife is indeed adapting herself, as are all on the home front, to new order of things.

HATE IS WASTE
Christian Science MonitOr)

Christian Science Monitor)
 One by one the stops are being pulled out by frantic organistS. and the hymnody of hate swells in an ugly crescendo. Men and Women of god will are being asked to hate, not simply the evil that is in the world, not simply the conscious planners of mass mesmerism and world destruction, but our fellow beings who have become the un- witting or unwilling tools of evil.
 The argument is that we must hate if we are to win the war, that we must get this hate down from the plane where 1t is Q product Of reason-for such hate, it is argued is too midland develop 1t in the emotions. The only way to do so, it is pointed out. is to hate people. A recent article by a widely read author begins: Love your enemies, Fight your enemies, shoot them. starve them, kill them, destroy their cities, bomb their factories and gar- dens-but love theml That may make sense to the Tuesday Evening Culture Club but not to me"
 There are ct least two reasons on which the most wordly-minded among us can agree for loving Q eelow being. One of these is that our love may do him some good; inc other is that ik certainly will do ourselves good. Hate is waste. Il wastes our mental resources. it ul. dermines our selfseontrol. It is not winning the var foF Hitler, although he taught co many Germans to hate so horribly that mali og Europa faltered bafoFe the threat Of that hatred.

Luxuries of War

Although there may be little off, stage grimbling, most civilians seem to find in the encroaching deprivations of war Spartan challenge and stiffening of the moral sinews. But perhaps we haven't reflected with sufficient grati- tude on the comforts of body and spirit that are bequeathed us as other comforts are taken away. For instance, an associ- ation of barbers has banished for the dur ation the scalding suffocation of a hot Turkish towel with your shave. And when you buy new shirt, it's no longer the treacherous, briStling booby trap of yore. It's how folded with the help of only three pins. Let us hope that when the peaceful uries, it will also include some of these new ones.

 Casey is also making some c. T. surveys for the President. One of them is to sec whether members of the War Production Board arc deliberately slantlng their actions to smear the New Deal.
 Another e. T. probe is of El- lner Davis Office of War Infor- nation. Casey believes that shrewd, public-minded Davis could be of great value to the Admin. istration If asked to pass on more Government moves in order to guage their effect upon public opinion. Casey, therefore, may recommend that FDR submit all directives and executive orders to Davis before release to the pub- lie.
 On the Congressional front Casey plans more visits to thu White House by bipartisan groups, which may be able to give FDR better advice than Harry Hopkins,

Leadership

There is a theory that unionization promotes war production by making it possible for government and manage ment to deal with responsible leadership on behalf of labor. Organized labor, through its officials, should have bigger voice In government for this reason, the argument runs. Well, some 10000 hard coal miners are out on strike at time whe noil shortages threaten hundreds of thousands of northeastern householders with bitter hardship. A major cause is an inside-the-union battle over dues irl- crease, although the union already has millions in its tillS. The miners union is headed by the most forceful of all union leaders" John L. Lewis. What is he go- ing to do on behalf of the public and the war effort?

It is spick and span, the neat. est office In the building. This is partly because 1t is almost empty. No one comes In, no one goes out. Inside sits a stenographer.
 T am grateful to the United States for giving me this nice of. flce," Gen. Gnu Uonfides to friends, . land also appreciate this nice stenographer. But don't like to go to my office, for don't want people to sec how little work I have to do.
 "At first 1t embarrassed me to have the Stenographer sit there doing nothing. But now I keep her busy clipping newspaper ar- ticles about China"
 That empty office Illustrates what the Chinese call our emp.
 ty-handed war policy toward China. It also gives one key to the mystery of GeneralissimO Chiang Kal-shek's refusal to
 join the Roosevelt. Churchill conference.
 Gen, Gnu tells friends that he never expected to sit at the meetings of the top British and American strategistS in Washing ton. But he did expect to pare ticipate in the meetings of lesser lights, including conferences to decide on allocation of munitions. However, only door open to theh Chinese IS the Council of the Pa. cific, also attended by the Poles and Gen.. Giraud's representative, and conducted more or less like @ tea-party.
 For a long time, domestic poll. cal resentment has increased against Chiang Kai-shek because his policy of U. s. friendship has netted no real returns. Recently rumors of these sentiment have grown to an orninous rumble. The powerful Governor of Yunnan Province in the South Is at odds with Chiang. So is the Cover nor of Szechwan. Tn the North west, the leader of the Mohan- medans Is grousing against Chi- ang's leadership.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-02-02

only know that the soons have failed to produce. The Inunl. tions are flowing to China.
 The Chinese don't realize the difficulties of supplying two vital war frOnts--Russia and Africa. They also don't realize that Madame Chlang Kai-shek con. fined to an American hospital, has not been able to see the President. They only know that China has fought nearly six long years with little help I'm sight. So they take 1t out on Chiang.shek,, his American educated wife and her sisters.
 NOTE: Some high -placed Chin- nese hint that if Chiang Kai- saek had left China for the Roosevelt Churchill meeting, poe Mtical rivals would have moved into the 0eneralissiino's palace be- fore he got back.
 FORD's BROTHER-IN.LAW
 When Edsel Tord's brother-in. law Ernest 0. Kanzler packed h. bags the other day a-.d left the War Production Board, friends re- called a significant incident which took place some weeks before and wondered if there was a con. Ilection.
 Ferdinand Eherstadt, WIPE vice chairman, had called Q staff meet ing. Eberstadt arrived half an hour late to his own meeting, and, without taking 8 seat, announced that he was just back from New York, where he had discussed the WIPE "contrOlled materials plan" with the National Association of Manufacturer and was happy to report that they heartily approved 1t.
 That was all. still standing, Ebertadt asked if there were any questions. Kanzler got up and said he wanted to ask question on another subject = Eberstadt's recent order that an executive Of every company doing big business with WIPE should be brought to Washington and kept here OH tap.
 "I assume," said Kanzler, who is President of F0rd's Universal Credit Corporation, "that you have in mind not a clerk or Q public relations man, but . re" spOnsible executive of the com. pany.

Out in Michigan Gov. Harry F. Kelly has signed bill that allows residents of the state to turn their clocks back one hour on February IS. The order was passed in the Legislature with large ma jorities in both houses. There was one proviso, namely, that if an industrial center found. the return to standard time conflicting with the war emergency it could continue to operate on war time. Apparently Washington isn't going to complain about the change, because the War Production Board has sanctioned the move, if there is no overburdening of electric power plants. On the basis of the winter we are going through here in Con- necticut we don't see how electric power plants could be any more overburdened with standard time than they have been with war time.
