 FRESH PRODUCE
 The only anticipated shortage in fresh produce is in what the trade knows as luxury items--egg plant, cucumberS, celery and the like.
 The potato situation looked very bad for a time. The Army had tied up most of the old stock with priorities, and then found itself unable to move lot of what 1t had because of the storm-bred shortage of freight cars. Observers feared that huge quantities of po- tatoes would begin sprouting be- fore they could be used. Fortu- nately railroad cars were made available to handle old crop po- tatoes, and now new Red Blisses are beginning to appear from Florida and Texas, with the Cali fornia crop soon to come. There are many potatoes still available in Maine for civilian use, and the situation seems to be improving. Sweet potatoes are plentiful.
 The fresh vegetable situation has been improved, for civilians, by the very thing that is making the processed fodo supply more critical. That is the emptylng of Army camps in the United States, which formerly drew heavily on fresh vegetables, and the soldiers transfer abroad where they must live out of cans.
 Rice, which often replaces po- tatoes, may become tight because of the unexpectedly rapid successes of our Pacific forces. As they

Food Experts Forecast Plenty Of Vitamins- But Not In Cans
BY 6. BURTON HEATH
 and DOUGLAS LARSEN MIA CAafR

Washington, March 28.-You should get plenty of vegetable vita mins this year, provided you have time to prepare the fresh varieties and provided your food budget will stand the strain. Both government and private experts say that staple fresh vegetables will be in relative abundance. assuming that ou- Victory gardeners do as well as last summer. But canned goods are becoming almost museum pieces.
 Super Merchandising, regarded in the food trades as a very reliable publication, head lines a processed foods survey: "Outlook Dark" That is almost optimistic in comparison with some of the figures gathered from OPA, WFA, trade publications and food dealers.
 The United States ended 1944 with the smallest reserves of can- ned vegetables, fruits and juices since the war began, because the armed forces have to depend upon canned goods to feed fighters both on land and at sea. For this pur- pose, and for lend-lease, the Gov ernment took A per cent of the pack out of which we would nor- mally be eating this year.
 The OPA predicts that, with de- mand at an all-time top, civilians will get about two-thirds of the canned goods they used before the war. That is overall. Heres part of the breakdown:
 CANNED VEGETABLES
 Retail stores have 56 per- cent less canned vegetables now than they had year ago. For the year, their supply will be third under that for 1944. The worst spots are peas, snap beans and corn.
 CANNED FRUITS
 There will be less than half the pre-war supply of canned fruits, years tight allotment. The new supply is off only IA per cent from last years but in 1914 we ate up an 8,0OO,00O case carryover 50 this year we must live on what the armed forces do not need of the 1944-5 pack.
 How serious the situation in canned fruits has become is in- dicated by survey made by Roy L. Pratt of the California Pack aging Corp, who as long ago as last August found the retail stocks of canned peaches down a third in year, fruit cocktail down 70 per cent, pears down 62 per cent and pineapple down 20 per cent.
 MT. Pratt reports that AZ cent of retail stores checked had no canned peaches at all, 49 per cent had no fruit cocktail, 52 per cent had no pineapple and 56 per cent had no pears.
 CANNED JUICES
 Canned juices are goling to be as scarce as canned fruits 52| per cent under pre-war and Il per cent under last year. The rub is hardest in citrus juices-grape- fruit, orange and a blend of the two. Not only are the Army and Navy taking huge quanties of them, but hurricane losses last year are expected to reduce the new pack greatly. To get what tine fighting men need, the Govern ment has had to step up its set aside percentages, and is taking 100 per cent of the grapefruit segments.
 FROZEN FOODS
 The supply of frozen foods ap- pears excellent But this business

In response to question by Gov

that he never saw any authority for
Mr.. Fuller to act for Amtorg.

Further testimony on the finan-
eial affairs of the group, developed
yesterday through Lloyd A. Brewer,
Dun & Bradstreet investigator
showed that among the $252,0O0
assets claimed by Mr.. Fuller in Oc-
tober, 1941, were $4,000 cash in
banks, $4,000 notes receivable and
$4,000 in accounts receivable.
Harold E. Fuller, secretary of
Norcor Manufacturing Corp, Green
Bay, Wis, testified yesterday that
his firm extended $4,000 to the group
as down payments on machinery, in
conjunction with prospective con-
tract which failed. Mr.. Fuller said
this money, which he paid the de-
fendant Fuller, was never returned.

the accused.
On cross examination the witness
said the defendant, Fuller. seemed
to know his business as an engineer,
that his cooperation was valuable
in steps obtaining an RFC loan,
and the reason WHY'S Overland re-
jected a Norcor bid was because the
Green Bay firm lacked the neces-
sary equipment and trained en-
ployes to do the work required.

aICourtConvicts
0bjector Of Escape

Robert E. Poole, "a, of Americus
Ga, a minister of the Jehovah's S
Witness sect, was found guilty OF
escape from a civilian public service
camp by Federal Court jury in
Alexandria yesterday Judge Ster-
ling Hutcheson is expected to pass
sentence this week.
Poole, a conscientious objector
was arrested following his escape on
June 5, 1945, from the camp at Blue
mont, Va, where he had ben for al
most two years.
Acting as his own attorney, Poole
based his argument on what he con-
sidered a false classification by the
Selective Service Board, declaring
he should have been classified 4-D
as a minister.
When Judge Hutcheson ruled that
the jury was to be concerned only
with the actual escape charge, Poole
moved for postponement, arguing
that the United States Supreme
Court is now engaged in deciding
whether defendant in similar
case is entitled to a judicial hear
ing" on the merits of his classifica-
ton. Judge Hutcheson denied the
motion for postponement, stating
that the selective service classifica-
ton must be considered final.
Judge Hutcheson issued a bench
warrant for Ruth H. Pitcher, 1919
North Kennesaw street, Arlington,
and set bond at $4,000. She is due to
be tried today for violation of the
National Banking Act. She is ac-
cused of embezzling $4,000 from the
Clarendon Trust Co., Arlington,
where she was an accounts clerk.

Federal Cafe
Workers Begin
Vote on Strike
Wage Negotiations
To Continue; Raise
Of IS Pct. Offered

Nearly 5000 employees in 81 Gov
ernment cafeterias were to begin
strike vote this afternoon after
IA hours of continuous negotiations
and last-minute offer Of a Is
per cent raise failed last night to
bring agreement.
Negotiations, however, have not
ended. A new meeting is scheduled
tomorrow between representatives
of Local All, CIO Cafeteria and
Restaurant Workers Union, and
Government Services, Inc, private
firm operating the cafeterias.
The strike vote was to start at
2 pm. in the Labor Department
cafeteria, Constitution avenue and
Fourteenth street, under supervision
of the National Labor Relations
Board.
Sees Al Per Cent Increase.
Original union demands for a 80
per cent wage increase were termed
a "so-called 80 per cent increase" in
company statement today which
charged that, in reality, they
amounted to Alb increase in basic
wage rates.
Moreover, when coupled with
other monetary demands being made
by the union, the total would ap-
proximate so per cent increase in
labor costs to the company" the
statement said.
The company said the union
changed" its demands yesterday to
"an increase of approximately 81 per
cent for the loWest-paid workers, but
ranging up to as high as 431 per
cent increase for higher paid en-
ployes."
Not Livable Wage.
Oliver T. Palmer, union business
agent, said that the conference
broke down last night because "the
offer made by the company would
in no way provide livable wage for
so per cent of the workers in the
lowest classification.
"The lowest-paid workers." he
continued, "are now receiving $3.50
In 'take-home pay for a 4O-hour
week. Over 60 per cent of all the
workers are in this category.
THE highest classification of
workers-and there are only about
Is of them-receive $27O7 for a 40
hour week"
Mr.. Palmer said that virtually
all" employees now are working on
40-hour week. He said that yeSter-
day the union had agreed to accept
20 per cent increase in wages.
Until last night about IL o'clock
the company's wage offer had stood
at 10 per cent, an official said, but
at that time Is per cent increase
was proposed.
Offers Union Maintenance.
In addition, the firm said, it
agreed to eliminate merit rating
plan opposed by the union To a
closed-shop demand, the company
offered what it called "a standard
War Labor Board maintenance of
membership clause" 1t also pro-
posed a check-off system of dues
collection to replace the clause
in the contract which, the company
said, forces nonunion members to
contribute the equivalent of union
initiation fees and monthly dues to
charity"
Because of recent Today extern
sion, the contract, which the COM
pany said contains no-strike
clause, expires Monday.
