look, some Department officials

They pointed out that corn crop
predictions rose by more than
3Oo,Oo0.OOO bushels from July TO

Aside from the threat to the fs-
ture meat program, the July crop
report painted a rather optimistic
picture on other agricultural pro-

to be the largest in history, al.

feed is expected to be less than last

Tokyo Fears Return of Planes
Trouble MAY
Result Over
.ExiIed Poles
(By Associated Press)

The potentially grave situation
confronting the British in determin-
ing the future OF Polish troops un-
der their operational command was
underscored today by an announce
ment that Polish general in the
field had pledged his continued al
lance to the Polish exiled regime
In London.
The announcement from the Lon
don headquarters of the Polish
armed forces abroad quoted Gen.
Klemens Rudnicki. commander of
the first Polish armored division,
as telling his men in an order of
the day: I'VE shall always remain
faithful to our soldiers oath and
continue obedience to the highest
commander OF our armed forces,
President Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz.
Raczkiewicz is head OF the Lon
don Polish regime from which Bri-
tain and the United States with
drew recognition last week after
approving the newly formed Polish
provisional government OF national
unity in Warsaw.
The first Polish armored division
now is serving with British forces
in the occupation OF Germany. Rud-
nicki's statement raises the ques-
ton OF whether the British and
American governments can con.
tinue to support on foreign soil an
armed force directed by officers,
many OF whom are outspokenly
antagcnistic to the new Warsaw
government. without straining re-
lations with Warsaw and Moscow.
While this portion OF the Polish
problem awaited settlement, Bri-
tons at home we're concerned over
a manpower shortage. A ministry
OF labor prediction that despite
gradual demobilization not more
than 100000 new workers would
become available to civilian indus
tries this year drew expressions Of
alarm from London newspapers.
In Moscow a high foreign source
hailed the Allied food pool agree
ment and predicted that the ad'
ministration OF Germany would be
the finest example yet OF inter-Al'
lied cooperation.

DR.. Berthold Lowenfeld, Ph.D., Of
the American Foundation Of the
Blind, Inc, in New York City, spoke
before the Lions Club, Tuesday
evening. DR.. Lowenfeld is direct
ing the summer school for Home
Teachers OF the Blind at Michigan
State Normal College. Thirty-one
of these teachers from IA states
of the union are attending summer
School here. DR.. Lowenfeld ex-
planned some OF the handicaps Of
completely blind people. such as the
lack OF idea OF how things really
look. Their sense of touch can
not compensate for the loss Of
sight, especially in the case OF
large objects or OF things In mo-
tion. Another handicap is their
inability to comprehend color, also
they are naturally limited in their
ability to get around. The blind
have to depend so much on others
for guidance Notwithstanding their
ability to orient themselves by
changes in sound, surface condi-
tions Of terrain on which they are
walking and by their sense of smell.
DR.. Lowenfeld emphasized that
although the blind person is neces-
sarily detached from his surround
ings each is a completely separate
individual and all blind should be
treated as such and not as sepa-
rate class of the population.
Guests were DR.. Leo Hauptman,
