Troops Hear Spe||man
In Paris Church
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept. 11.-Archbishop
Francis j. Spellman Of New York
told American soldiers in the Mad
eleine Church yesterday that the
people at home realized to a great
extent the cost and horror of war,
but still could not realize its full toll
unless they could see the graves and
field hospitals
The archbishop flew to Paris yes
terday too late to attend services at
Notre Dame Cathedral. He said he
had conducted services at two
widely separated fields distant from
Paris and a third at Versailles before
coming here.
There is no one at home whose
heart is not in the war effort he
said. Still they cannot realize the
price of war-or the price of victory
unless they could see the rows
upon rows of graves or filled cots in
hospital tents behind the lines"
He said the fight was not only
against something but for some
thing-for country and principles,
and that to be true to those who
have fallen it is necessary to be
true to those principles at the wars
end. He predicted that if principles
were not unheld at the peace table,
and that if there were not a peace
with pustice, then there would be
another war.
Archbishop Spellman, who arrived
in Normandy last week, was met at
the Paris gates by the city's arch
bishop, Emmanuel Celestin Cardi-
nal Suhard.

Texas Democrats
Battle Over Electors
Is Nearing Climax
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 11.-Texas
Democrats brought their troubles
into sharp focus today In q precon-
vention battle for votes which may
decide whether pro ror anti Roose-
welt forces control tomorrow's con-
vention and the States 23 Demo-
cratic electors.
The basic issue is whether electors
who refuse to pledge their votes to
President Roosevelt and Senator
Truman will be displaced by electors
who will so bind themselves.
Chicago Cancelled Texas right to
representation within the national
party, and, by the eternal, Texas re-
pudiates Chicago" said Lloyd Price
OF Fort Worth, member of the anti
Roosevelt faction seeking to be seat
ed, at preconvention meeting.
A pro-Roosevelt faction marched
out OF a Fort Worth convention
after 1t refused to adopt a proposal
to pledge its members to support

Ber|e and Wagner
Plead for Tolerance
BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Assistant
Secretary of State Adolf A. Berle
jr., yesterday appealed to all reli-
gious faiths in America to help pre-
serve and perfect racial and religious
tolerance in this country.
Addressing an interfaith confer
ence at Randall's Island here Mr.
Berle said that by fulfilling the
historic American pledge for such
tolerance and friendship I'VE earn
the right to cell ourselves Amer
leans"
Germany, aiming to capitalize on
whatever evil instinct could be
aroused, tried to set faith against
faith, race against race-in short, to
"Balkanize this country Mr.. Berle
said.
The Germans tried first, he said,
to stir up hatred against Jews.
America united was unconquer-
able, but if America could be
divided into a huge series of mi
nority groups each inflamed against
the other, then the United States
might be weakened or even rem
dered powerless."
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of
New York told the gathering the
American system contemplates for
each and every one of us freedom
Of speech, of conscience, of religion.
These are the foundations upon
which all else must rest"
Since democracy. with all its
meaning, begins at home" he said,
I'VE must begin by removing the
most monumental evidence Of in
justice and intolerance in our
midst"
"As a very first step we must
enact and enforce laws to prevent
discrimination against the Negro,
in our political life and in our eco
nomic life-in the factory and at
the polling booth"

Critical Food STORAGE
Problem Presented
By Record Crop

With cooler and freezer ware
houses operating close to capacity
the most critical food storage prob
lem In history faces the country In
the next few months as another
bumper crop is harvested and live
stock moves to market, a War Food
Administration ofncial said today.
The sudden ending of the war in
Europe would further complicate
the problem, with both Army and
lease-lend buying taking a drop,
the official declared This was un-
derscored over the week end by the
report Of War Mobilization Director
James r. Byrnes that military food
procurement for the first year after
We day would decline so per cent,
or about 100000 tons.
The VITA official disclosed that
freezer space which does not now
exist will have to be provided for an
additional 30o,00o,000 pounds of
meat, poultry and frozen fruits and
vegetables in the next several
months. The freezer situation was
described as the "tightest yet" with
virtually all warehouses in the coun-
try operating at 80 per cent of
capacity. Warehousemen consider
this the maximum utilization OF
space for orderly operations.
Prohibition in Force.
The spokesman, asserting I'VE
have done everything we can," ad-
mitted a series of restrictions on
cold storage ordered recently by the
WA won't make the space avail
able" Measures include prohibi.
ton against individuals storing less
than 300 pounds of food at one time
and the forcing out of storage all
foodstuffs stored more than 10
months.
Representatives OF the frozen food
industry have charged that failure
Of the ONCE of Price Administra-
ton to announce ceilings on frozen
fruits and vegetables has forced the
industry to hold its supplies in
dead storage" rather than risk
selling without any idea of price.
Much valuable freezer space would
be made available for the new pack
of fruits and vegetables If stocks
now in storage would move, they
point out.
The VIA, it was learned, has
repeatedly requested the OPA to-
announce frozen food ceilings to
help the situation.
Half the freezer space in the
United States is used for storing
meat, with a big percentage ear
marked for the armed forces. One
fourth of all space has been allotted
for frozen fruits and vegetables, the
VITA said. The end of the war in
Europe coming in the next few
months would halt Army buying of
meats just as seasonally heavy
marketing of livestock began, it was
pointed out.
Normally, storage space is operat-
ing at so per cent of capacity this
time of year
