Government Wants
 Cave For Ice-Box

summer that omelettes were com- ing out of Americas ears. The gov- ernment set price of 27 cents a dozen on 'em, but few people bought.
 50 we went out into the mar ket and bought eggs." Colonel Olm- stead testified. We sold all we could. We shipped them on lend- lease consignment. We dried them. We canned them. We filled every possible cold storage plant. And still the eggs came in.
 "On June II I went down to my office to find 1,400 car loads of eggs on the track and no place to go. That's one thing you can't sit on. Eggs. We started tanking eggs.'
 He explained that this meant breaking up the eggs and selling them for pig feed and fertilizer. The government took a $6,000, ,000 loss and we've been trying to ex- plain ever since," Olmstead said.
 The Senators mostly were sym- pathetic. Senator Scott w. Lucas of Illinois said if the government had- mt taken the loss, the farmers would. Senator Allen J. Ellender of Louisiana said the colonels egg op- erations, under the circumstances, looked like good sense to him. The subject changed then to lard.
 Pork came to the packers in such quantities last year that there was enough lard to cover the entire na- tion, lightly, with grease. Colonel Olmstead said the government stored all 1t could in refrigeration, took off red ration points for a while, shipped as much as possible abroad and finally began storing lard in steel oil drums, with chem icals added to take the place of ice.
 After doing everything we could. we found ourselves still with 20,- 100000 pounds of lard on our hands" he said. There was nothing to do but store 1t in open tanks. We put in a preservative, but we knew 1t would spoil if we had to keep it any length of time."
 The tanks were located at Ivory dale, Ohio, he said. Sure enough the lard soured. The government sold 1t to soap manufacturers.
 And was it 8 coincidence" de. manded Senator George D. Aiken of Vermont, that so much lard spoiled so near soap factory?"
 Tt was not" said the colonel. That was the only place where there were enough tanks"
 Senator Hugh Butter of Nebraska wondered whether he knew about the cave in Kansas that the gov- ernment is attempting to turn into gigantic cold storage vault.
 If it had been completed in time" Colonel Olmstead replied, there would have been no spoilage of lard. or eggs, either"
 Hurry up, fellers. with that cave. The summer sun is getting hot.

krug Reveals Good N News
By JOSEPH LATIN

Washington, April (U.PO - The American people were assured today tht most civilian goods - including radios, washing machines and perhaps automobiles will be on sale again within year after Germany's defeat.
 Many of the long missing items will be on retail shelves within a few months after VIE Day but it will be longer than thta before the supply will be enough to satisfy the long pent up demand.
 In the light of optimistic pictures painted by top government officials in the past few days, manufacturers are dusting off their plans for the postwar world. But they are mind full of official warnings that even after VIE Day, the top priorities in everything must go into making the weapons to finish of Japan.
 Nevertheless, sizeable section of American industry will be free to turn to civilian production because the Pacific war alone will not re- quire anywhere near the amount of material now being turned out for a two-front war.
 War Production Board Chairman J. A. Krug predicted last night that almost all types of war-scarce civil ian goods would be available once more in the year following VIE Day. He thought that civilian production would reach the 1889 pre-War level 12 months after the German col- lapse.
 AS for passenger cars, Krug said he was going to Detroit tomorrow with some of his top assistants to discuss reconversion problems with the automobile industry.
 Production of most of the 600 consumer items made from iron and steel which have been banned or have been under heavy restriction since Pearl Harbor will probably get under way soon after VIE Day. This was indicated in Krugs disclosure that 1,500,000 tons of steel = which he said was a very conservative estimate - would be available for civilian production in the three months after Germany quits Greater quantities of aluminium would be freed from war uses at thta time, too, he said.

''FIak Valley" Over Ruhr Now Just Another Milk Run To AAF
By TOM WOLF NEA Stan Correspondent

With the Ninth Army, East of the Rhine, April 4-Flak Valley" has become just another milk run. |" The Ruhr Is now just another 100 miles of territory somewhere in Ger many.
 To those of us who have watched the progress of the war for the past two and a half years, first from England. then from the Continent, this is the first important sign that victory is actually within sight, if not within immediate reach.
 Ever snce the Eighth Air Forces's first mission in November, 1942, pilots and crews nightmares have consisted of solid fields of flax spiralling leathally up from the great industrial targets of the Ruhr Valley. Air officers have estimated that this hundred mile city" was defended with no less than 2700 heavy flax guns, to say nothing of literally tens of thousands of light ones. Such was the situation up to only couple of weeks ago. NO OPPOSITION
 Now, literally overnight, this great strongpoint has been reduced. Yes- terday I stood at the advance con- mand post of the 79th Division on the outskirts of Duisburg-the steel heart of the Ruhr. watched tiny cub plane float slowly, lazily, unmolested at low altitude, through what was until so recently the most feared few cubic miles of air any, where in the world. Not a single tracer, not one black puff of burst ing 88, not one white ball of flax, shot up to challenge this small un- armed, unarmored ship. Today, if the shortest distance to the target is across the Ruhr Valley, pilots of the 18th Tactical Air Force, sup porting the Ninth Army, simply buzz Sartight across it.
 To me this seems our biggest vic- tory to date. Smashing through the Siegfried Line and crossing the Rhine were operational headaches only for a matter of a few weeks. The Ruhr Valley has been spoken of with bated breath ever since the Allies declared war. Now it is mere ly collection of names soon to ap- pear in communiques.

Your GI Rights QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 ON sERvIcEMEN's PROBLEMS
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff COrreSpondent

Washington, April 4.-Here are some additional rights for veter- ans under consideration by Con- gress and Veterans AdministraL ton:
 Congress has been asked to ex- tend the Emergency Maternity and Infant Care program now available to wives of enlisted men to include wives of veterans, wid- oWs of service men,( and infants born after the father left the service. A woman whose husband application cannot get these bene- is killed in battle before she makes fits. An infant born under the program cannot get infant care if the father has left the service be- fore its birth.
 Veterans of Foreign Wars are protesting the fact that veterans compensations and pensions are considerably reduced during per- iods of disqualification in Govern ment hospitals. VFW spokesmen say this has resulted in many vet erans leaving Veterans Adminis- tration hospitals against medical advice.
 National Service Life Insurance policies taken out by servicemen in World War II will expire in l945. Congress is now studying the possibilities of extending that time through the duration of the war. This would save millions of men the task of converting their policies. It is argued that fam- lilies covered by the insurance are entitled to full protection as long as the threat of death or disability faces the policy holder.
 A bill to provide dependency al- lowanceS fec cs. Veiv4ce- disabled veterans with families to support is now being considered by Con- gress. At present, compensation for permanent service-incurred disabil- ity itself, regardless of how many people depend on the veteran for support.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-04

Washington, April 4 - (U.P.) = You know that cave out in Atchi- son, Kansas? The one the goveern- ment wants to use for an ice-box?
 Well sir, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph w. Olmstead claims that if 1t had been working last year the War Food Administration wouldn't have had to sell 20,000,000 pounds of spoiled lard for soap. Neither, he said, would the government have had to sit on its handkerchief while 180,000 cases of eggs turned too po- tent for human use.
 The cave could have held the whole works, he told the Senate Agriculture Committee investigat- ing food shortages.
 The colonel is a youngiSh, red- haired citizen with an extra chin and fortnight manner. He is one of the big shots in the war food ad- miniStration, and he said fatly that he was the man responsible for those eggs. He said that he tried to do something about 'em.
 Although" he said, "the safest thing for an individual bureaucrat to do is nothing. That is, looking at it from his own viewpoint"
 There were so many eggs last
