Lady Astor, whose rapierlike

rided women who take office only
to look pretty and do nothing about

"If I had been q sexy type when

Desperate Shortages
For Be|gians Soon
BY ROBERT EUNSON,

Associated Press war Correspondent.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 9.-Economic
conditions in Belgium are going to
get much worse before they possibly
can get better, Premier Hubert
Pierlot told me today in his private
office here.
Speaking with occasional aid OF
an interpreter who was the only
other person present, Premier
Pierlot said Belgium's shrinking
food and coal supplies could not be
supplemented until Antwerp harbor
was opened to civil as well as mill
tary use.
Importation of foodstuffs is our
biggest problem" said the former
lawyer who headed Belgium's gov
-in-exile during the four
years of the German occupation.
I'VE realize the military needs Of
the Allied armies must come first,
but in the meantime opposition
forces are trying to take advantage
of the situation and seize control of
the government"
Situation Called Serious.
Premier Pierlot was referring to
the independence movement headed
by Fernand Demany, former
Brussels newspaper reporter who
was one Of the leaders of resistance
inside Belgium during the occupa-
ton.
"For Belgium the situation is very
serious" the Premier said. I'VE have
a population of $50 inhabitants to
the square mile and can produce
only enough food during normal
times to feed our people for six
months of the year. Now it has been
almost four months since our coun-
try was liberated and the harvest
they saved from the Germans is al
most gone.
I'm less than a month oil for max
ing margarine will be gone. In two
months there probably will be COM
plete exhaustion of meat and
wheat"
Premier Pierlot dismissed with a
wave of his hand question regard
Ing the influence of Great Britain on
i1o COullClS
British Amity Cited.
England and Belgium have al
ways been very great friends" the
Premier said, land common suffer-
ings of war have brought us even
closer. Her only influence on us has
been one for friendship"
As I left him alone in the big
high ceilinged room, he walked to
the door and hesitated before say
Ing goodbye.
please tell TIE people of America
for me-" Premier Pierlot said, that
we have profound admiration for
American boys and American troops
1t Is incredible that such enormous
armies have been organized so
quickly and commanded SO skillfully.
We owe great debt to Gen. Eisen-
hover, his Army and the people of
America and their great President" /"

 Flies breed and feed on body dis charges of man and animal, and on decaying vegetable matter. The barnyards of farms and the dump piles and uncovered garbage cans in the back alleys of towns and cities are their favorite haunts. There they deposit their eggs and, carrying filth on their feet go on their way to the kitchens and dairies, grocery stores and sick rooms, wherever they can gain en- trance.
 The daily removal of manure from the barnyard will do more than any other one thing to con- trol flies on the farm. Cooperation withathe health department sani- tarian in the city is the best safe guard against the fly menace there. Since the home nurse is concerned with community health as well as she can help to develop public un- derstanding of the problem, and set with the health of her own family, a good example for her neighbors by observing recognized fly control measures,

Put your growing-up daughter in young black - washable but tub defying-and in bright cottons that take to Suds like a duck to water, if you want to turn her out in style this wartime keep the laundry bun dle down to a decent size.
 That's the 1dea behind flock of new fashions created for the pig tailed crowd-ages 12 to 16-which are stylzed to the last seam by a clever young designer, and which are made definitely super" by matched accessories that can be changed about.
 Young black makes news in a little basic dress that becomes a whole wardrobe with changes of accessories. One is a mad-money belt made bright with braid. An other is a pair of white eyelet lace doo-dads: one worn at the wrist; another on a headband. There is a fiesta-bright plaid jerkin to lace up over the dress and a matching bag to make you look twice. There is colorful beanie and belt set.

A great hit starring Ginger Rog- CTS has come to be an event in
 filmdom, and phen Chat picture dramatizes a human interest situ- ation reflected in thousands of homes in an America that is at war an enormously added importance is given the production. This is the case with Tender Comrade," in which Miss Rogers is starred by RKO Radio, with a new leading man, Robert Ryan, playing oppos- ite her. The story of the girl next door" and the boy she marries, and of what happens when he goes off to war, is the simple but powerful theme of Tender Comrade". It strikes a timely note in presenting the star of "Once Upon a Honey moon" and kitty Foyle" in part enacted by so many American wo- men today. Jo Jones' one of group of war wives employed in an airplane plant near Los Angeles, is married to Chris, who is in uni- form and overseas. With three fel- low employees, Barbara, Helen and Doris, she rents big-old fashioned house and employees housekeeper.
 The four have their differences, but the loss of Barbara's husband in action brings them together, and they are united even more tightly when Joe becomes a mother. Doris soldier husband comes home on furlough, and while they are en- tertaining him Jo gets a fateful telegram from the War Department. She knows what it is without ouen- ing - but for Chris Jr. she re- solves to cary on as Chris would have wanted her to do.

There are proposals to reduce the weight of paper in wedding announce ments and fancy notepaper, but manufacturing difficulties must be overcome first. Office of De- fense Transportation is worried about more serious shortage of auto repair workers.
