by reductions in prices of other food
items by paying subsidies on the

by. the Office of Price Administra-

In Chicago, Owen Richards, gen.
eral manager of the American Dairy
Association, declared the country
was in the midst of butter crisis, u
despite record stockpile of 235 ,O0O,-
900 pounds which he said was esti-
mated to be in cold storage or still
in the hands of creameries.
OF the total, Mr.. Richards said,
only about 100000 pounds is avail
able for civilian consumption.
Usually at this time of the year."
Mr.. Richards asserted, "the civilian
stockpile of butter is better than
150,000,000 pounds. But because of
wartime conditions and Government
set-asides we find ourselves with
only fraction of that amount.
Record Supply in Storage.
Housewives are unable to buv
butter. Meanwhile, record amounts
OF butter are in storage and three
quarters of it is Government owned
mo one will suggest that it be
taken from our soldiers. But relief
from Government set-asides for sew
eral months during the season Of
low butter production is needed now
in order to protect the ration,ng
system and to give the civilians
their share of butter"
Mr. Richards said more than
100 grocery stores in Chicago were
without any butter, while in others
sales had been restricted to Il pound
customer. Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Milwaukee, in the heart of the
outter-producing region, he added,
were feeling the shortage and the
situation on the East and West
Coasts is far worse than elsewhere.
The association president said he
believed the OPA might increase
the coupon value Of butter Several
points" in order to provide more
equitable distribution.

SHORT But SWEET
It's just a little book. but
Capt. Thomas Moore, Jr., has
packed big punch in his THE
Sky Is My Witness" putnam:
So.
Moore, kid from the land of
the Daffy Dodgers, came up the
hard way. From the backlands
of Brooklyn he became one of
this country's first war pilots
and distinguished himself with
action at Midway and Gusdal-
canal.
Poignantly simple in descrip-
ton. Moore tells of the heroism
of Yank pilots battling against
huge odds in the Pacific. How
the Yanks hate the Japs! Atroc-
tiles came so fast and frequent
~ after the stab in the back at
Pearl Harbor that vengeful AM
erican pilots overcame unheard-
OF odds in their brushes with the
yellow men--they all went aloft
with the "Ah, hell. who wants
to live foreverl" attitude.
Moore was lucky TO come
back: many of his buddies we're
MT so fortunate and gave their
lives in heroic aerial defense OF
Americas far-flung Pacific out
posts. The authors memories OF
these pals are particularly
touching.

Most mysterious of all u. S.
military moves, to the average
citizen, have been the American
operations in the Middle and
Far East. These have been the
super hush-hush mpa gns,
from the very start of the war,
but il is now possible to reveal
fundamental background infor-
nation on these theatres which
become of extreme Importance
i'm view of forthcoming develop
ments. The surrender of Italy
with the opening up of the Med
iterranean shortens the supply
lines to the Middle East from 20
days around Africa TO a mere 40
days by way of the Suez Canal,
thus practically doubling ship
ping capacity. And this improves
tremendously the outlook for the
long promised stepping up of the
offensive against the Japs in
Burma and China.
Source of the now punishable
record of U. S. Army strategy in
Asia is Gen. George c. MARSHALL
report as chief of staff, covering
the period up To July /, l943.
Developments beyond that date
and the full story of what has
gone on before cannot yet be
told for reasons OF security, but
enough is revealed by General
Marshall to give better under

When young Roy Chapman
Andrews turned down a fishing
trip as a graduation present, in
favor of a one-Way ticket to
New York City and the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History,
he did not only himself but the
world OF science a splendid ia

II was in 1903 that the ma

dermist was admitted to the Of

the job OF sweeping floors at
$40 a month 1t was 80 years
later that Andrews retired as
director of the museum, with "a
lifetime of adventure behind
him, to quote the subtitle of his
fascinating memoirs, Under a
Lucky Star
Viking Press: 5000.
To say that Andrews was
with the museum for over
three decades is not true in the
stricteSt sense of the word, Most
of the time he spent rambling
all over the globe, collecting
data and specimens which OPP
ened up heretofore obscured
vistas in the study of natural his

The long series of expeditions,
which kept him thousands of
miles away from New York, Of
ten Tor periods Of years, began
with whale which had been
killed off the shores OF Long Is

drews had graduated from
broom to helping build a life
size model of a whale; when the
real thing came along, he was
dispatched 10 buy the carcass,
strip it, and &c: the skeleton
back TO the museum.
1t was a frightful task, but
success was finally won. Soon
thereafter Andrews was sent on
an horest-to-g goodness expedi-
ton to Vancouver Island to
study the habits of cetaceans.
He had begun "a career of blub-
Der and brine which lasted for
eight years and carried me twice
around the world" Andrews al
so was soon TO find that lectur-
ing was 10 be a career, filling in,
together with raising funds for
expeditions, his interludes in
New York.
Next junket for the up-and-
coming young naturalist was to
Japan, the first of many visits
to come. Burma, Borneo, the
Philippines -- tiny, uninhabited
islands, and China. Russia and
then Manchuria. II was work,
but despite dangers and discom-
fort. il was sheer JOY. and An

that.
