MORE IMPORTANT
With fresh vegetables playing an
increasingly important part in the
nations diet when point rationing
of canned foodstuffs goes into ef-
feet. Secretary of Agriculture
Claude r. Wickard today reminded
farmers growing summer and aut-
umn vegetables for the fresh mar
ket of the acreage shifts sought by
the agricultural department.
Substantial increases, he said, are
desired for those crops which will
contribute most to the nutritive
adequacy of Americas wartime
diet. He suggested decreases in acre
age for other vegetables which have
less nutritive value or involve dis
proportionate uses of labor or trans
portation.
Vegetables for which an increase
was suggested included carrots,
kale. beans, beets, sweet corn, to-
matoeS, cabbage, onions, spinach
and peas. The country can get
along with fewer melons and less
lettuce, celery and cucumbers, Wick
ard said

Despite considerable American
losses, Rommel was not believed
to have succeeded in altering sub
Stantially the Allied timetable for

the British Eighth Army steadily
increasing the pressure from the

Sumably because of the necessity

indicated substantial German air

However. the British Broadcast
