 Take digitalis, which is indis- pensable as a heart medicine. Only 75 acres in favorable location is required to furnish the quantity of the drug usually imported an nually. Normally our major sup plies of digitalis are obtained from Germany, Belgium, France and Italy. Fairly large supplies of the drug can be obtained from wild plants in the Pacific northwest Small farms in New England have had success with the crop.
 Meanwhile, Uncle Sam is con- serving stocks of quinine, which is particularly valuable in the treat ment of malaria. The Army and the Navy have priority on quinine The drug can be obtained by civil ians only on prescription for use in malaria Quinine comes from the bark of the cinchona tree, which has been highly developed in the Netherlands East Indies.

The W ashingtun Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert 8. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON.-Ma Manpow e I Boss Paul McNutt has been ses- sioning with the Truman Commit tee regarding certain problems which touch the lives of every one. They include: size of t h C Army, where we will get labor for farms, and whether the Army shall be used in mines and in- dustry.
 Senators on the Committee were impressed both with the gravity of the problems McNutt placed be- fore them, and his general views regarding them.
 McNutt revealed that Undersec- retary of War Patterson had been talking to him about total armed force of 100000 to 15,000,00O men. This included not merely the Army, but the Navy, the Coast Guard and the Marine Corps = everything except the Merchant Marine.
 However, McNutt pointed out that shipping facilities and sub marine warfare seriously limited the number of troops which could be sent abroad and supplied. The figure he mentioned must remain a military secret, but he indicated that with Hitler's U-boats working overtime around North Africa, it was going to be difficult to main- tain very large army in North Africa.
 In addition to North Africa, he pointed to the problem of supply ing other war fronts in the Pa cific, together with Russia and England.
 As a result, McNutt doubted the feasibility of worlds record army now. He was all for giving the mil itary and navy what they wanted so long as it could be transported to the combat zones, but he op- posed a huge army which would eat it's head off at home. especial ly in view of the fact that morale deteriorates when an army is kept idle.
 At one time, McNutt said, a large army at home was considered nec- essary to protect the United States. But now military experts felt this danger greatly lessened, though a certain number of re- serves must be trained
