The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ns. Col. Robert g.. Allen now on active service with the Army.S

WASHINGTON = Over in the Pentagon Building, the military problem which the Generals are watching and worrying about most today is supplies. Actually it's not the production of supplies on the home front which so much con- cerns the Army, but getting them from the Channel ports to the fast moving Western Front. If gasoline, bread and bullets can keep up with the tanks and armored cars of Gen. erals Patton, Simpson and Hodges, then not much in the way of Ger man resistance is expected.
 But the inside fact during Pat tons ] last lightning advance was that he ran out of gas and sup plies; and he stayed out of gas and supplies for 12 long days. He was powerless to move. That was the turning point in the war last year.
 This hitherto untold chapter of the Western Front campaign oc- cured in September, after Patton's spectacular tank dash across France to the edge of Germany. It reveals one of the sore spots in the European picture and one reason why the military schedule, which called for victory last autumn, got sidetracked.
 , Gen. Patton, whom the Germans fear most, had been rushed out ahead and was being used as a decoy to divert attention from the First and Ninth Armies, which were scheduled to mass against the more vulnerable northwest German border. But Patton ran out of gaso- line. and had to wait, chewing his nails. with empty fuel tanks.
 Gen. Eisenhower ordered noun tains of supplies sent direct from the United States. But although

Terrific High (ostof
 Ealing in Washington
 IsNow Being Revealed
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, April 7.--So far as I know, the census bureau and Roland Brennan, purchasing agent for all District of Columbia institu- tions, have combined to give the first real picture of what has hap pened to Washington since Pearl Harbor in those two phases which affect any community most: pop ulation and food prices
 The census bureau says the pop ulation of the district has increas- ed to more than 926,0O0 since 194D, 35 per cent jump.
 This doesn't include hundreds of thousands of government workers domiciled in the suburban com- munities of Virginia and Maryland; their increase is as great, if not greater
 Remember that the capital al- ready was crowded before Pearl Harbor, that since then taere has been nothing like a 35 per cent increase in housing projects and you begin to get vision of damned Washington.

STATISTICS on the cost of living here as well as elsewhere in the United States are generally deceiv- ing.
 But on one point. food, I doubt if there is any better index for MT. Average Man in Washington than that provided by the district purchasing agent.
 MT. Brennan buys for all the dis trict's municipal cafeterias and lunchrooms, for it's hospitals and other institutions. This certainly wouldn't be fancy food
 Yet he reports that food costs have increased 48 per cent in the last three years.
 Clam and oyster dishes, right here in almost the center of eastern sea board production of those seafoods have been dropped from district municipal menus. Clam prices have
