Warned Of Danger.
A warning that this country would
face a situation such as exists today
was made In 1943 by q special Food
Advisory Committee Of the War
Food Administration. This commit
tee was made up Of representatives
of various Government agencies
concerned with the war food
problem.
The committee declared that the
United States cannot become the
food basket Of the United Nations" :"
It urged that immediate action be
taken by the United Nations to OBJ
tain increased production Of select
ed foods In other areas-particularly
In Colonial areas, neutral countries
and In South America-to help meet
war and foreign relief needs.
The committee took issue with
what it called . general impression
that this country can make up def
cits" in war and relief needs. It
said:
Americans rs . whole, including
those in Government, have never
wholeheartedly convinced them
selves that we are out of the sur
plus days Of the 20s and sos. Sur
plus cobwebs have got to be brushed
from many an ofIicial brain on the
subject Of food. We must realize
that food supplies will remain low
until at least two years after the
end Of the war"
Agencies Lack Co-ordina tion.
A few moves were made to en-
courage production in other areas,
but they, like the stockpile plans,
were largely lost in the wave of
peace optimism which gripped the
country in 1914.
Evidence points also to a lack Of
coordination between agencies re-
sponsible for food production and
those making promises to meet
lease-lend and relief needs.
Those commitments far exceed
requirements which VITA had ex-
pected, particularly In the category
Of meats, fats and vegetable oils
and dairy products-the major scar
city items.
Because the foreign demands ex-
ceed VIA expectations, the Gov
ernment has set up a special COM
mittee headed by Foreign Eco
nomic Administrator Leo T, Crow
ley. This committees job is to di-
vide available supplies in . manner
designed to meet essential military
requirements, minimum lease-lend
and foreign relief needs without cut
ting American civilians excessively.
Further Tightening Needed.
This division, President Roosevelt
told . news conference, win require
further civilian belt tightening 50
that Americans may fulfill humani-
tartan obligations to the war hun
cry.
How long will this belt Tightening
last?

frequency modulation from its pre-
sent wave bands up to the hundred
megacycle area have been sent to
the FEC, and to members Of three
Congressional committees by Z. r.
Mcdonald, r., president Of the
Zenith Radio Corp. It was an
nounced today.
The message said that in the
FEC open hearings seven out Of
eight outstanding propagation ex-
perts who testified were against
the move, and that the Radio Tech
nical Planning Board, organized ut
the request Of the FOG by the radio
industry, voted n to ! against the
move.
The only expert who testified st
the open hearings in favor Of the
change was K. A. Norton, formerly
of the FEC, now with the Army, the
telegram said. Mr.. Norton based
his opinion in large part on the
interference which would be caused
in frequency modulation broadcast
ing and receiving by the predicted
sun spot next year. -...
Either the commission discredits
the experts and believes Norton, or
they must believe the experts" the
telegram said.
The telegram also urged the con-
gressional committees to get tran
script Of the closed hearings held
by the FEC March II and Is. It
declared that proposals made by
which FIN receivers owned by the
public could be salvaged In spite
Of the change were frivolous" and
concluded, Such q move In our
opinion will be q disservice to the
public and add to unemployment"

LONDON, May 18.-The House
of Commons heard warnings today
that the Germans had started a
campaign to convince their nation
its army was not defeated.
Col. Walter Elliott, Conservative
criticized the recent broadcast by
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz over
the Allied-controlled Flensburg
radio, saying:
Il can imagine nothing which
has done more harm to our cause
than allowing Doenitz to have ac-
cess to the radio and to broad
cast to the German people the
beginning of buildup that the
German Army was not defeated and
that the noble German nation will
rise again. I can imagine nothing
that has done more harm to our
relations with our great ally. the
Soviet Union"
Col. Elliot maintained that such
things added to the intense sus-
picion which existed in Russia"
Dr. Haden Guest, Laborite, joined
the protest:
Surely we are not going to be
parties to allow German broadcast
ing stations to broadcast their modi-
fed Nazi views to Germany"
He demanded that the Allies take
command of the radio in Germany
and ...use our radio here to send to
Germany definite views directed to
destroying the Nazi disease in Ger
many"
Ernest Thurtle, parliamentary Sec
retary to the Ministry of Informa-
ton, replied for the government that
German radios were under jurisdic-
tion of the Allied military command.

Peter SaIm Will Inherit
S1,793,685 in September
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 18.-Peter
Salm, son of Millicent Rogers and
Count Ludwig Salm, will inherit
S1,793,685 on his 21st birthday, Sep
tember 81, it was disclosed in an
intermediate accounting approved
yesterday by Supreme Court Justice
William T. Collins.
Salm, now in the armed forces
also will receive the Southampton
Dong Island mansion of his late
grandfather, Col. Henry H. Rogers
who died in 1885.
The court rejected a $3.50 claim
for payments to Salm's father, who
was last heard of in June, 1912, in
Budapest, Hungary. The count had
been receiving annual payments OF
$4,000. They were stopped in Oc-
tober, 1912.
The court did not act on the claim
of Col. Rogers widow, now Mrs
Pauline Hoving, that the wines and
liquors in the mansion belonged to
her. Salm's guardians claim they
belong to him.
The accounting, necessitated by
the death of John Caldwell Myers
a guardian, last September, showed
the estate increased $499, ,673 from
February II, 1912, to September, Is,
