Stop Talking Of War
And Start Waging II,
Patterson Demands
Every Man and Womon
Must Beor Equal Burden,
He Tells Service Hearing
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

Germany, Nazi-conquered Eu-
rope and the rich Far Eastern
possessions seized by the Japa-
nese still remain the "chief" bat
tlegrounds in the present war
ind the battle in North Africa
is merely preliminary skir-
mish," Undersecretary of War
Patterson told the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee today.
He appeared before the committee
in support of the Austin Wadsworth
bill which would mobilize American
men and women for duty on the
home front. The outcome of the
war, he said, "is not in the bag" as
popularly believed, but there is no
doubt that the United Nations will
be victorious.
1--WE have talked war constantly"
Mr.. Patterson declared ut is time
to wage it. The sooner we put
Wishful thinking aside and realize
fully that the road that lies ahead
is long and hard, the sooner will be
our victory.
1T is my firm belief that not until
there is imposed on every man and
woman the equal obligation to rem
der service in the war effort, will
| this country make the all-out effort
/ which is necessary and of which it
is capable. Not until then will we
keep faith with our fighting men,"
Gen Eisenhower's armies are do
ing we'll in North Africa" Mr.. Pat
terson declared. They will drive
the Nazis and Italians into the
Mediterranean or force their sur
render But that struggle is merely
a PRELIMINARY skirmish when viewed
in its setting in the entire war scene.
'The Nazis still hold their vast
gains in Europe. The japanese still
hold the rich resources of the Far
East. Those are the chief battle
grounds, and those battles have not
yet been fought. Any one who sees
the war as already won is looking
at the scene through rose-colored
| glasses"
There is a widespread belief that
victory is in the bag, that we can
take things easy and all will come
out right" Mr.. Patterson said. That
is not the belief of the War De-
partment.
I'VE believe that the means of
victory are in our hands, that we
will defeat our foes. But we believe
also that the struggle will be bitter
one, that casualties will be heavy
and that the winning of the war
will demand our utmost as a Nation.
THE war will be hard one. The
end is not in sight. We have under
wsy an all-out drive by the fighting
forces. We have under way a vast
munitions program TO equip the
! fighting forces and to assist in equip
ping the forces of our Allies. All
this takes manpower-the right men
and right women in the right jobs.
Any failure to use our manpower to
the best advantage will do damage

First-Day Response
Shows High Tempo Of
D. T.. War Loan Drive
Leaders Report Liberal
Buying by People Who
Dip Into Suvinqs

Getting an enthusiastic re-
sponse on the first day of their
efforts to sell $70,000,000 worth
Of War bonds in the District, the
more than 1000 local campaign
ers were reported today by the
District War Finance Committee
to have hit a high tempo" for
the Second War Loan drive.
Reports Yesterday at the first in a
series of five instruction sessions for
the local volunteers indicated that
District residents are throwing their
full support behind the national
drive for $4,000, 100000, which will
last through May l.
Officials of the War Finance Com
mittee said first-day response here
showed that people were dipping
into their savings to make War bond
purchases, and were buying lib
erally."
l.. Clark Brown, chairman of the
securities and investment division
of the local committee, revealed that
large investors are greatly increas-
ing their purchases over the drive
in December. He attributed this to
the facts that the Governments war
needs are greater and the people are
more war conscious, that available
securities on the market have dimin-
lShed, and the amount of cash on
hand has increased. He said his di-
vision had received many inquiries
on the first day.
Washington stores have expended
an estimated $4,000 to date to push
the Second War Loan drive, accord
ing to the War Finance Committee
This includes newspaper lineage
radio broadcasts and window dis
plays, the committee said, in prais-
ing this type of cooperation on the
part of business interests.
Meanwhile, banks, security dealers
and post Offices were said to be ready
to answer all questions regarding in
vestments in Government securi-
ties. There is type of Govern
ment security to suit the needs of

Average or Better
Supply Of II Foods
Seen for Civilians
Milk, Poultry, Meats
Expected to Equal
1859 Quantities
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

An extensive survey just COM
pleted by the Food Distribution
Administration indicates civil
ians this year will have as much
or more of II important food
commodities than they had be-
tween 1885 and 1889, it was
learned today.
The survey is based on carryover
supplies from 1912, on production
pledged by American farmers in
1943 and takes into consideration
military and lease-lend require
mentS.
AS a result of the report, disclosed
for the first time today, the Agricul-
ture Department saw a Frightening
of the overall food picture for, this
year.
In the production of lard and
margarine alone, recent, reports
show considerable increase, the
FDA survey revealed Margarine
production was estimated to be
up 100 per cent over last year,
while lard promised to reach $780,
1000 pounds this year, compared
with 100000 pounds in 1912.
Higher Demand Seen.
Meanwhile, forecast by Secretary
of Agriculture Wickard that it ap-
pears fairly certain 1914 food pro-
duction demands will exceed this
years record goals, was contained in
testimony released today by the
House Appropriations Committee.
The prediction was based on the
assumption that the needs of United
Nations military forces would be
larger and that at least an "emer-
gency" food ration would be re-
quired for relief work in countries
freed from Axis domination.
Domestic civilian and other re-
quirements, Mr.. Wickard said, may
be expected to continue at 1943 levels
or to increase slightly.
From Baltimore last night came a
warning, however, that 1943 food
production may run 20 per cent less
than last year. w. G. Wysor, gen.
eral manager of the Southern States
Cooperative, made the prediction
and asserted that only by eating
more cereals and less luxury foods
could the Nation avoid actual
hunger.
He called for a reversal of the
present policy aimed at production
of luxury foods-milk, meat, eggs
and poultry-Which require the use
of seven pounds of dry matter in
cereals to produce one pound of dry
matter in animal products"
Includes Meats, Poultry.
The FDA survey now indicates a
per capita civilian supply above the
1935-1939 average in chickens, tur-
keys, eggs, wheat, fats and oils,
corn and milk and cream. Red
meats, which include beef, pork,
lamb. veal and mutton; cheese and
evaporated milk promise to equal
the per capital supply during the
same years, it was learned.
The new developments were seen
as direct result of strong stand
taken by the FDA's Civilian Re-
quirements Board, recently set up
under the Craftsmanship of DR.. Rus
sell M. Wilder, formerly OF the Mayo
Clinic in Rochester. This board now
sits in on each session of the Food
Advisory Board, where allocations
are made to civilians, the Army and
lease-lend.
One authoritative source in the
Agriculture Department pointed out
that only Army needs receive higher
priority, and on occasions even the
Army demands have been given sec
