Early Fruit, Vegetable Crops Below Estimates
Shortage of Commercially Canned Goods May Be Ex.
 perienced Shortly Says State Administrator

State War Administrator Henry B. Mosle called attention today to government statistics indicating that the civilian supply of commer- cially canned fruits and vegetables will be short of demand in the next few months.
 Reports of federal agencies deal ing with the food supply bring out, he said, that in spite of increased acreage of fruits and vegetables for commercial canning. the increased production has only partly material ized.
 Because of acute labor shortage in some areas and adverse weather conditions in others, some of the early crop packs are smaller than anticipated. The later maturing crops such as tomatoes, corn and lima beans are now imperilled by drought and heat.
 The reports were gathered for the Home Food Preservation Committee of the State War Council, and MT Mosle said the conclusion to be drawn from them Is that there is continued need for home canning to supplement commercial supplies.
 Because of the larger number oi men overseas, canners were asked to set aside 70 per cent and 50 per cent, respectively. of their l942-4a annual production of canned fruits and vegetables. The need from this years pack was estimated at 36 mil. lion eases of canned fruits anc about 92 million cases of canned

Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse. former secretary of state, now seek ing the Democratic nomination for United States Senator has gained considerable strength as the possible band-wagon member of the Attor- ney Leo V. Gaffney for Governor ticket.
 Mrs. Woodhouse's ascendancy in strength is based primarily accord- ing to reliable reports, on the in- ability of the Gaffney supporters to announce any other candidate for the senatorial post. The state con- vention at which the nominations will be made is scheduled for next Friday and Saturday at Bushnell Memorial hall, Hartford.
 It is the belief that no dark horse candidate will be brought forth at this late date by Gaffney adherents and that certain straws in the wind. now prevalent. give indications of a possible support of Mrs. Woodhouse
 The latter belief. as cited by these sources, may be seen to mean the recent attack by former Mayor oi Hartford Thomas J. Spellacy on the

fruits and juices, and 35 million cases of canned vegetables.
 The commercial fruit pack is ex- pected to be larger this year than last, but the government require- ments have increased to such an ex- tent that fewer cases than last year are allocated to retailers. For ex- ample, out of an estimated pack of Is million cases of peaches civilians this year will receive 5,2l2, 900 cases which is about million cases few CT than last year.
 Citrus fruit canners were required to increase their set-asides of grape fruit juice from 33 to Al per cent and of orange juice from 42 per cent to 48 per cent for war purpcs- es. Dry weather now threatens the Florida and Texas orchards.
 Civilian consumers will not have any cans of peas for their ta- bles. The prospect is that deliveries to the trade will not run more than 50 per cent to GO per cent of quan- titles received from the lo43 pack.

No Funds Available
 For Allies Enemies
Partners of Axis Must Pay Own Way After War; 2O,OOOOOO People To Be Repatriated in Europe

New York, N. r., July 2e.-Fands of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration will not be used for the aid of people in ex.enenly countries, Herbert H. Lehman, director general, makes clear in an article in the August issue of Free World Magazine.
 Lehman declares that ex-enemies will have to pay for their own im- ported goods, but he emphasizes that certain international services, such as handling the repatriation of displaced persons and safeguard ing against epidemics will be car ried on wherever needed as the Allies advance.
 Describing the UNRRA Displaced Persons operation, Lehman este mates that it will assist in the re- patriation of some 20,O00,0O0 people in Europe alone who have been driven from their own countries by the Nazi design for disrupting Eu- ropean civilization. This service will operate in most countries of GuAOpG uAAy AAiuAty Ok Aoad'
 Many of the United Nations themselves do not intend to make use of UNRRA's funds for relief of their people when liberated, Leh- man points out Those countries which have foreign exchange re- sources to buy the necessary goods in the markets of the world will use those" he says. ITO the extent that their own resources are suffi- cient they will not draw on the United Nations pool of supplies and funds for relief"
 France, Belgium, Holland and Norway are cited by Lehman as nations which have some foreign exchange resources and would pre-. fer to use these first in the pur- chase of goods for the relief and rehabilitation of their peoples, drawing only lightly if at all on the United Nations pool of supplies and funds for relief.

senatorial candidacy Of Brien Me- Mahon of Norwalk. MT. Spellacy himself a candidate for the sena- torial post, was indorsed by Hart ford's 7S delegates to the conven- ton. Hoover, it is reasonably certain that unless events make it exped- tent the Gaffney supporters will not back Mir. Spellacy even though the Hartford candidates. likewise. nave indorSed the gubernatorial candlo- acy of MT. Gaffney.
 Reports state that the attack up- on MT. McMahon by MT. Spellacy may be a smoke-screen, in effect. and that the latter has agreed to act as the work horse for the Gaffney supporters in handling the senator ial manuverings.
 These same sources contend that it is likely that Mrs. Woodhouse would be the choice on a second balloting at the state convention following the first balloting when the names of Spellacy, McMahor and the former lady-secretary-of- state would be placed before thi convention.
 If circumstances became such that Mrs. Woodhouse proved to have substantial support on the firsl ballot. it has been stated that the Hartford delegation would then swing her way on the second ballot which, under such circumstances migth prove to be the strong wedge needed to defeat McMahon.
 Meanwhile supporters of Atty. Gaffney contend that such consid- erable support has proven itself for their candidate that it is possible that he will go before the conyen- ton with the nomination conceded to him.
 To date, he would appear to have the majority of delegation strength able to be determined as commit teed, if not in fact at least by de rect inference. Supporters of ex- governor Robert 4. Hurley, oppen- ent of Mr. Gaffney. are claiming the necessary strength to give their candidate the lead.

Murray Defects
 Turk Thompson; New Garden Low
BY JACK CUDDY

united Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, July 29-CUP)-Lee @. Murray, a big Connecticut Negro with dapper mustachios and zoot sideburns. was villified but victor- ious today by virtue of his lack lustr0 triumph over sawed-off Turk ey Thompson. Los Angeles Negro heavyweight.
 Elongated Ice ruined Thompson's New York deLdt by winning a close iO-ronnd decision before 5.0i6 cash customers who paid sil.AOe last night-smailest crowd and gate in Mike Jacobs decade of promoting at Madison Square Garden.
 The crowd and gate were in keep- ing with the brand of brawl staged by two lethargic Iarrupers who couldn't or wouldn't fight. Their meeting had been heralded as a clash of dark dynamite-a collision between two Negro knockout artists. But the only explosives were provid- ed by the explosives of booing fans.
 One Minute Action
 BarTei-bodied Thompson of Los Angeles tried to make a fight of it during the first minute of every round; after which he became so fearfully fatigued that he was con. tent to nestle his no-necked noggin against the up-stretching black bosom Of his towering opponent. meanwhile. lengthy Lee, who claims to have entered the alleged fray with an injured right hand, spent most of the evening switching from the orthodox Fight-handed stance to the southpaw. and vice versa, without doing much actual switch hitting.
 There wasn't a knockdown in the bout, although Murray slipped to the canvas in a vet corner in ths ninth and Thompson did likewise in the 10th.
