WA Official Appeal,
To Farmers for Corn
To Meet War Needs
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Midwest
farmers were urged today by a
War Food Administration official
to release Immediately a share
|of their corn holdings to meet
the urgent requirements" of the
processing industry and to solve
"a very serious war problem for
the immediate future"
/. E. O. Pollock, Midwest regional
director Of food distribution, assert
ed the corn is needed for producing
critically important war materials
and that failure of farmers to move
the grain to market will "ieopardize
the successful prosecution of the
war"
The corn processing industry
needs about 100000 bushels of
corn every month-only about 4 per
cent of the 1943 production-for the
manufacture of a large variety of
critical war materials" Mr.. Pollock
said in his appeal to Midwest
farmers.
I'VE need meat, poultry and dairy
products for the armed services, but
we also need many materials made
from corn in order to properly arm
and equip our fighting men,"
The VIA official said corn is
needed by the industry for the man,
ufacture of weapons, medicines,
clothing, packaging and other. ma
terials for the Army and Navy.
He. said some corn processing
plants have closed, others are op-
Grating only half time and "the
future production of certain impor-
tant war materials is seriously
jeopardized."
Because of the record numbers of
livestock on farms, the movement of
corn to elevators has been negligi-
BILE, farmers using the grain for
feed. Most of them, it has been ex-
planned, can make more money by
feeding the grain than by selling it.

House Committee Backs
Hiring by Subordinates

Favorable report on the Ramspeck
bill to authorize heads of Federal
and District government depart
ments to delegate to subordinates
their powers of appointing person.
mel under the Classification Act was
ordered yesterday by the House Civil
Service COMMITTEES.
The measure is designed to relieve
heads Of the Federal departments
OF the routine duty OF passing on
appointments to Government serv-
Ice. Congress granted such author
ity In the case of the field service
several years ago. but appointments
for departmental service must be
made by the department heads.
Harry B. Mitchell, president of
the Civil Service Commission, in
dorsing the bill, said the change
was greatly needed. He said re-
quirements for personal approval of
department heads did not add to the
protection Of the Federal service
against improper appointments.

Civilians 10 Get Less
Meat, but Fears Of
Famine Vanish
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Fears of meat famine have
vanished, the War Food Admins
tration says, but the average family
can't have as much table meat the
rest of the year as it did during the
winter.
The agency said yesterday dire
predictions" of a few months ago
are giving way in the face of pork
and beef supplies considerably ex-
ceeding those of a year ago.
Enough meat will be available
through June to allow civilians a
per capita consumption at the rate
of l39 pounds year-l3 pounds
more than the 1885, 1899 average, the
VIA announcement saic. However.
for the first quarter of this year
consumption was at the annual rate
'of 15S pounds per capita, largely
because of special pork Ia-ions.
For the last six months of 1914
per capita consumption must be
lighter, VIA said.
However, it found a much better
meat situation than existed a year
ago: Nearly twice as manv hogs,
more cattle and nearly as many
sheep and lambs are being marketed
and at least Is per cent more meat
is in storage.

But ! shouldn't tell you that because,
You already do TOO much
And if YOU Keep on, you'll be i'll again,
