There is tiny brown insect with

I have no idea what they are. When
I first found them in the flour, I
thought they were weevils, but since
then I discovered tiny yellow
worms" in the flour canister and
imagine they are weevils. 1t
hasn't been more than two weeks
since I cleaned very thoroughly all

The ants are bad out here, too.
There are always the ordinary ants.
I often find them crawling around,

Neither the political nor the per-

-R-Seven soldiers were called to-
day from the bleak frozen mud OF
their foxholes and told that the I'M

They had been selected to return
to the United States on national

IL. S. SENDS WHEAT
TO NEEDY BOLIVIA

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA R-
Countering what looked like an Ar
gentine pressure move on Bolivia,
the United States has sent a ship
load of wheat to meet threatened
shortage in Bolivia.
The whole story of what has been
going on between Argentina, which
at present is combating monroe
ognition policy followed by most
American Republics, n d Bolivia
which is friendly to the non recog-
milton countries, is not known here.
But several pertinent facts can be
reported:
The Argentine government mott
fled Bolivia without any preli1ni-
nary warning that wheat ship
ments from Argentina to Bolivia
would be cut so per cent.
The reason advanced was h
Argentine A r m y maneuvers had
dislocated rail transport. This was
a sort of double meaning explana-
ton, pointedly reminding the b.
livians that the Argentine army was
on the move and ready for action.
The wheat cut created a serious
situation in Bolivia, where storage
facilities are inadequate Failure to
receive supplies would lead swiftly
to a food shortage.
The United States government or.
dered ship bound for Australia
with wheat to put in at Chilean
port and unload cargo for tranship.
ment to Bolivia.
Reports have been current fol
months that Argentina has beer
using threats and indirect pressure:

American republics, which, like thu
United States, refused to recognize

miro Farrell. United States official
have described the Farrell regime
as source of fascism in this hemi

FRENCH SEEK u. S.
EXPORTS IN BULK

WASHINGTON. Nov. A. P) -
The French are seeking approx
matelv two billion dollars worth
of United States exports during
the next 70 months for use in re-
building their country 1t was
learned tonight.
ARRANGEMENTS for the huge pro-
c,,renoent program already are
nearing completion. Some of the
Goods may be shipped on lend
1ease because they are CONSIDERED
necessary to Frances war effort
AGAINST Germany or Japan but the
great bulk will go partly for cash
and officials hope, partly on
credit.
The French program, probably
the farthest advanced on the eco
nornic plans to come out Of iberat-
ed Europe, calls for purchasing 700
locomotives as well as comparable
quantities of railway rolling stock
and track equipment, truChS III
halfway transport; huge ship
nents of cotton, fertilizers, and
other raw materials.
It has recently been revised as
3 result of the discovery upon the
liberation of France that the raw
ages of war had not been as great
as officials first believed. The
amounts OF factory equipment de-
sired have been sharply reduced
and the amounts of raw materials
required to keep existing French
factories running have been great
" increased. Similarly there was
q reduction in food required ana
an increase in fertilizer and other
food producing materials.

EDEN CL0RIFlES
FRANCE in HOUSE

Z LONDON, Nov. IA R "A new
high in Anglo French friendship
was proclaimed today by foreign
Minister Anthony Eden, strengthen
ing belief in London that Britain
is bent upon formation of western
European bloc to guard against
postwar German aggression.
Eden strobe to the well of the
House of Commons to tell in glow
ing terms of the re-emergence Of
France as a great power, to pledge
Britain's support in that effort, ano
to say that never before has the
friendship of the two peoples rested
on "surer foundation
Reporting on the British good viii
mission to Paris, he spoke in the
absence of Prime Minister Church
i'll, who returned by air from the
French capital several hours later
looking tired but happy at the re
suits of his mission. Churchill me-
Gen. Eisenhower before leaving
France this morning.
Eden's tres on the Anglo

ports here that Churchill - in ad
vance of the imminent meeting o.
the big three-is attempting to line
up an alliance among Britain
France, Belgium and Holland tt
stand sentinel over Germany after
the post-victory occupation period
This development is understood
to be designed to match a similar
eastern alliance which would be
formed around Soviet Russia with
both combines so constituted thai
they would be able to function
within the framework Of any futur,
world security league.
Amid cheers from his colleagues
Eden offered this tribute to Gen
eral de Gaulle-' the man who to
day is unquestionably the inspirel
and the man who personifies thu
unity of the French people, HI
spoke also of the vigor and con
| fidence of the French troops.
The foreign secretary hintet
those volunteer troops might ye
get a chance to turn their weap
ons of vengeance upon Germany

"that when time and opportunit.
presents these men will give a
suitable an account of themselve
against the hated Nazi in the fell
as they have already given in tn
bitter and bloody warfare il
France itself"
The Foreign minister made NJ
attempt to minimize the difficultie
which confront France. He t o l
commons that 100000 of her mel
prisoners of war, political depor
tees, and forced laborers-are still
held in Germany. In Paris Itself

with material difficulties.
But he asserted, France will

He coupled with his report tn
wish that Britain will have an op
