AS Biggest Problem
In Feeding French
81 the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SU p r E M E ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, Aug. 26.-Transporta-
ton is the most dificult problem
facing of1icials Of the Civil Affairs
Division Of the Allied armies as they
rush emergency food and medical
supplies to Paris.
The first consignment of 5000
tons of foodstuff arrived in Allied
conveys in the French capital to-
night and French authorities be-
gan organizing to feed the popu-
lace in communal restaurants.
AS almost all means of transpor-
tation are being used to haul guns,
ammunition and war material to
the troops driving the Germans out,
the bulk of food and medical sup
plies will have to wait until some
of the trucks now on the battle
fronts can be spared, supreme
headquarters said.
Hundreds of French drivers have
been recruited to load and take the
trucks to Paris when they become
available. Captured German We
hicles may be used in some cases.
Distribution of food within the
city will be the responsibility OF
French authorities with Civil Affairs
officers on Gen. Eisenhower's stan
assisting in the early stages of the
program.
Food from the agricultural dis
tricts of Brittany and Normandy
will be sent as the highways, bridges
and railroads are repaired.

Charter Plan backers
Asked 10 Explain
Reasons for Stand

The Citizens Committee to De-
feat Charter last night challenged
proponents Of q scharter form Of
government for Montgomery County
to cite reasons that would justify a
change from the present county
setup to something which has been
"untried in any other county In the
United States"
The committee charged that no
case against the efficiency or hon.
esty Of the present county admin
istration has ever been made or
even attempted by charter sup
porters.
They have not described any
existing service Of the county as in
adequate or out of date" the COM
mittee declared, nor have they
shown how county residents would
benefit from such radical change. ("
The group declared that it is the
prevailing American custom that
there be q platform on which any
movement for a change Of admin
istration is based.
The committee said such a plat.
form usually includes a bill of par
ticulars concerning alleged def
ciencies Of the administration
whose defeat Is sought, as we'll as
bill OF particulars concerning pro-
posed improvements.
This time honored" custom has
not been followed by proponents
OF a charter form of government,
the committee declared, thus leav-
ing the voters in the dark" as to
