OHerS a De1enSe OF Navy l O9S
To the Editor of The Star:
Acrimonious debate Is taking place
among sailors on the bill in Congress
that would do away with bell-bottom
trousers. While some sailors feel that a
change in the present uniform is called
for, others feel that the bill is an at
tempt to scuttle the morale Of the Navy
and the Coast Guard and to reduce
sailors to the level of marines and
soldiers.
The white hat, being part Of the uni
form, also enters the debate When one
sailor points out that 1t originally was
designed for the dual purpose of being
worn on the head and, in an emergency,
as bucket for bailing out boat, his
opponent will say that handles should
be installed on it (the hat) and that 1t
should then be slowed away with other
emergency equipment on life RATS.
Then" the opponent says, Tets get a
hat designed to fit a mans head, not
the bottom of boat"
AS to the uniform itself, debate often
centers around the small number of
pockets in same and the hardships this
causes. When one sailor says that he
has to carry his cigarettes In his socks,
another who Is for the status quo in
uniforms will snarl back: You don't
have to, but you would be a chump If
you didn't hide them somewhere"
The collar comes in for argument, too.
Those against it shout: The collars
serve no earthly purpose. They date
back to the days when the tars used tar
on their pigtails and wore the collars for
aprons to protect their clothing from
| tar" But those for the collar answer
"A sailor who wears lot of oil on his
hair can use his collar for an anti
macassar to avoid greasing the back of
his girls favorite easy chair. Further
more, on cold day sailor can tuck
his collar up into his hat and devise a
warm and workable havelock to break
| the wind. Radicals, touch not thread
| Of them collars!" This same man, get
ting back to the white hat, says: 1T
| can be twisted into dozen intriguing
shapes. 1t can be tucked into the waist
band while attending church or worn
in the back of the collar. You can use
white hat to catch toad in, or to
sack up the jackpot when you hit White
hats can be dyed any color, filled with
lemons and grapes and used for a cen
terpiece on the banquet table"
Sailors who complain about 13-button
trousers are shouted down by this same
stirling character in the following words
"The well-known 12-button exercise Is
one Of the most healthful and invig-
Grating calisthenics ever devised for
keeping sea-going people in the pink of
condition. Rather than eliminate one
Of those buttons, let us add 13 more
and have forearms like Popeye."
I trust that have presented bal
anced picture of this debate and that
| 1t will be of some use to our congress-
men. J. B. GARRETT,

Protests Fraternization

To the Editor Of The Star:
Reading in The Star, Thomas r.

the Czechs, one feels the deepest SYM
pathy for them.
But it seems to me many Americans.
too. would feel just as heartsick as the
Czechs do over the determination of
our boys with the Germans.
Do these boys of ours know nothing
Of Dachau and Buchenwald? Has our
Army so fallen down on indoctrination
Of the boys who themselves never saw
any of these terrible things?
Perhaps the mistake is even more
fundamental. Perhaps only those who
suffered so terribly at the hands of the
Germans should make up the Army of
occupation-those like the Czechs, the
Norwegians, the Dutch and the others
SO that the whole project doesn't f1zzle
out into tragic absurdity and We
again repeat history. A READER.

Farmers Profit By Experiences Gained From Last War

American farmers, with a War

LABOR GOES ALL
OUT IN CAMPAIGN

Workers of Ohio and the Nation,
already buyers of $4,000, 100000,
In War Bonds, which now is the
largest backlog ever held by indi-
viduals in the history of the coun-
try and its greatest threat to in
flation, will outdo themselves dur
ing the Victory Loan according to
reports reaching the capital.
Not in spite of reconversion and
cut-hacks, but rather because
workers realize now more than
ever the value of systematic
saving and investment in govern
ment securities, and they will sup
port the campaign for $l1 ,000, ,0o0,-
600, it was reported.
Meanwhile the leaders of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions (CIO) and American Fedora
tion of Labor (AFL) issued state
ments through the War Finance
Committee in support of the drive.
PHILLIP MURRAY, president Of
=
the Go, said.
"The task ahead of US as the
Victory Loan opens is to back our
government to the limit by the pur-
chase of Victory Bonds in order to
take care Of the expenses Of the
aftermath of war. Bringing our
servicemen home, providing the best
possible medical care for the
wounded, maintaining occupational
forces in various sections of the
world, these costs add up to the
eleven billion dollars our govern
ment is asking US to invest in Vic
tory Bonds before December 8.
"The members of the Congress
OF the Industrial Organizations
are especially interested in the two
billion dollar quota for f Bonds.
As in past drives, e Bond pur-
chases by CIO members will be sub
stantial and will represent an ap-
preciable amount of the total e
Bonds purchased. We must main
tain our splendid record. Although
the end Of the war has brought
unemployment, those Of our mem
bers still at work are ready to buy
their full share. For them the
responsibility is greater than dur
ing any previous drive. / call on
every working member Of the CIO
to keep this in mind when planning
his purchase of Victory Bonds.
WILLIAM GREEN, president Of
the AF'L, IN telegram to Secrc-
tray Of the Treasury. Fred NJ. Vin-
son, said:
Be assured the American FEEDER
alton of Labor stands ready to CO.
operate with you in promotion of
sales Of government bonds. We will
serve in every way possible to apply
payroll savings plan in broader and
more comprehensive way in future
than in past. You may count on
us to join with you and serve in as
full measure as possible in promo
tion Of Victory Loan campaign. We
will work with you, serve with you,
and help you both before and dur
ing the Victory Loan drive until
objective you have set ia bond sell
ing campaign has been reached"

Shortage of Fats and Oils Aggravates
Food Crisis in Europe and Far East
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - OF al the
shortages which threaten to
make this q winter Of famine
In Europe and the Far East, only
three items - sugar. fats and
oils - are difficult to obtain In
the United States. Every other
foodstuh or IN acceptable sub
stitute II availsble In this coun-
try In more abundance than ever
before.
Ironically. the critical short
age OF fats and oils makes other
food shortages doubly serious.
without fats and oils many OF
the foods that are available
aren't palatabls or very desir-
able, even 70 starving people.
Il takes butter. margarine. or
some kind q spread % make
bread edible. And bread will b
the main source Of nutrition for
most Of the population Of the
world this winter.
Fats and oils are needed for
cooking most foods. A steady
diet Of boiled food becomes re-
pulsive even to the famished,
nutrition experts claim. No mat
ter how many calories . person
gets per day, . diet without fats
and oils will eventually result
In q breakdown in health, and
malnutrition.
Total international trade In
fats and oils, not including but
ter, 10 estimated by Department
|of Agriculture to be $500, ,000,-
900 pounds for 1945-46. Pre-war
level was e,000,000,0 900 pounds.
The supply is expected to con-
tinus short through 1916.
SUGAR SUPPLY is Low
Decreased production Of vege-
table oils in the Far East and
in Jap-held territory Is partly
responsible. Reduction of cot
ton crops In the U. S., Egypt
and India reduced the world
cotton seed oil about 13 per cent.
Peanut production in Africa
was considerably reduce d.
About 80 per cent of whale oil
production was a wartime cas-
ualty. Lard and tallow produc-
ton in Europe is way down be-
cause of decimated herds and
low pork production.
Sugar is the next most criti-
cal item in the world picture.
Office of Foreign Agricultural
Relations estimates production
for 1945-46 will be about AGO.
900 tons short of the pre-war
average of 34,400,0O0 tons. A
small prospective increase in
production isn't expected to af-
feet large importing nations like
the U. S. because it will be used
to restore reserve stocks in the
producing countries.
Need for sugar in Europe Is
most desperate. To maintain
present small rations, imports
of more than 100000 tons will
be necessary. Experts agree that
rationing of sugar in most coun-
tries will have to continue
through 1946 at about present
levels. Stocks discovered in the
Far East haven't materially
changed the world supply.
Bread grains are expected to
furnish the bulk of the world S
nourishment this winter and
there isn't enough to meet all
demands. The European harvest
was the smallest since the early
1920's when that continent was
recovering from the last war.
Reduced planting, drought and
lack of fertilizer are the rea-
sons.

Stock Market Cuts
Losses Before End
OF Short Week
By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial M,ite


NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The op
tirniStic theory that bull stool
market may stumble occasional,
but that you can't keep it dowr
worked out to the satisfaction O.
Wall Street this week.
Principal securities exchanges re.
cessed today for the celebration o1
Navy Day and, while there was some
irregularity in the Friday session
steels, utilities, rails, motors and 8
wide assortment of specialties
climbed fractiofs to 2 or more
points. There we're several rnu.t
broader jumps in relatively inactive
issues.
Trends generally were upward
Monday as IDLE cash sought invest
ment income &nd imitation hedging
continued. Rejection of union de-
mands by U. S. Steel touched off
selling Tuesday. with volume of L.
100000 shares the largest of the
week. Sales were more urgent Wed
nesday with losses running to
points or more in virtually all de-
partments. Liquidation was blamed
mainly on mounting industrial strife
and reports the administration
would advocate a boost in wages
and the holding of tie price line.
The average drop of full point was
the sharpest since September Is.
Belief the market had undergone
a healthy technical correction
brought modest revival Thursday.
Subsequent announcement that the
President would disclose his wage
price policy next Tuesday inspired
some hesitation. Earnings and divi-
dends generally were bolstering fac
tors over the fiye-day stretch.
For the week the Associated Press
60-stock composite was able to re-
duce the Tuesday Wednesday loss
substantially and finish with a net
decline of only 8 of a point to 72.1.
Listed loans were quiet and mostly
steady while the weeks offerings of
new bonds were the greatest of the
year to date.
