Thomas declared:

many years now has been worse
than his bite. Martel once in
sisted that all automobile work

the claims and the UAW-CIO
ended up with the auto

There - no point in srgu-

about postwar work that doesn't

Food Administrator Jones knew
about what could actually be shipped
abroad and how much was needed
at home and he was able. with the
help of the sweating til1ers of the
soil, to conjure it out Of terra firma.
Then all of sudden things began
to happen, and the demands on I'm

such proportions that Jones said it
would be bare as Mother Hubbard's
cupboard if all the hungry folk got
there before he locked the door.
There just isn't that much food
in the world" one of Jones lieu
tenants told the newsmen.
There is something about the bust
ness Of sowing and reaping, Of breed
ing and feeding, Of blowing, harrow
ing and thrashing that just can't
be hurried. Jones knows that. The
President knows Jones knows it and
SO he listened to Jones.

Europe's Distribution
System Collapses

There are two potential factors
which will bring even heavier de-
mands from the hungry world. One
is the gradual restoration of trans
portation media within the devas-
tated areas and the other is the
eventual release Of more shipping.
The latter cannot be expected soon
for even when the organized re-
sistance in Europe ends-as it might
before these lines reach you-many
ships must be diverted for use in

Heavy Demands Made on Army to Feed

it and that is why when they depart
ed (taking everything movable with
them) the liberated areas were
worse off as far as eating went than
they were before. AS our army
moves forward more and more
areas must be fed.
Also as they move ahead and lose
interest in the economy of the areas
farther back, or as countries be-
come completely liberated as
France, Belgium, and most Of the
Balkans have been, food is essen
tial to keep the peace.
There is nothing so conducive to
revolution and civil strife generally
as an empty stomach. The function
of alternating the distress in these
countries falls to UNRRA which so
far has not been able to do much.
One reason for this, which applies
also to countries which don't need
borrowed food, but can buy it, is the
lack Of ships. Ships have to be used
to carry war supplies.
Until January such supplies as
UNRRA could send had to be sand
WICKED in in ''broken lots" between
guns and shells and what have you.
In January two full shipments went
over. And they got hurry call to
distribute food to some of the left
behind areas which the army had
been taking care of.
These are the things which swelled
the flood of demands on Marvin
Jones' boys. These and many 9TH
ers like them.

The fight for food is on and lot
of people who don't know there's
war going on'' are going to learn
about it at the breakfast table.
The first shot was fred in the
battle of the bureaus In Washing
ton by Food Administrator Marvin
Jones early this month. Since then
the President was moved to express
himself on the subject at White
House press and radio conference.
When he casually losses off some
comment like that it means a lot OF
memoranda have been written on
the subject. We will have to take
at least one hitch in our belts.
However, the situation is not quite
as black as painted but unless it is
painted as black as possible it will
be blacker. I choose the word black
advisedly for that is the color OF the
markets that arise to thwart the
war effort everywhere.
It was a realization Of this fact
that caused the quiet, modest, soft
spoken Marvin Jones to shout loud
spoken ''Halt' to this food-ordering
spree, begun in the last months by
the various agencies whose job it is
to get food but not to grow it. Amer
lea was doing pretty well, that is
the American farmer was doing
pretty well making two and some
times four blades of this and that
grow where only one grew before
and by teaching the cows and the
chickens how to multiply. We were
feeding ourselves pretty well at
home, we were turning out Gil.
ration the like Of which fighting men
never put their teeth into Tin such
quantity and quality before.
Also considerable food-though not
nearly as much as was asked for
was going out to countries in the
immediate vicinity of the war zones
and under the lend-lease arrange
ment. UNRRA was making some
shipments but not many.

Defeated Teutons Returned
Home World Conquerors'

The arrogance that has always
permeated the German army was
typically expressed in the fall of
1918, says Golfers. Before the
armistice, its general staff had al
ready started the lie that it had
not been defeated by the Allies,
but by the German people at
home.
The troops that later returned
to Berlin marched through the
Brandenburg victory gate and
down the Siegesallee, or Avenue
of Victory, as though they had
conquered the world.

Europe to the Pacific. OF course
such empty bottoms as move from
America to Europe can carry food
but many will be in service between
Europe and Asiatic waters.
At present the transportation sys-
tenn in France and the occupied
areas of France is one of the
greatest deterrents to shipping food
to Europe which exist. There is no
use Of having food pile up in ports
waiting to be transshipped to the
interior.
A vivid example of how this de-
struction of transportation mas at
fected France is revealed in the sto-
ryaof the potato lamps. Normandy
is rich farming country and there
is enough grain and potatoes to help
feed the impoverished French cities
of the interior if they could get it.
But there is no fuel or light in Nor
mandy. The Norman peasants can
afford to hollow out potatoes, fill
them with melted butter and attach
a wick to them. That Is their only
means of light. Yet if the transpor-
tation lines were going they could
get some oil from other places and
they could ship their butter and po-
tatoes to people who sorely need
them.
At present food demands are
heavy and until now the ALLEGATION
of supplies has not been coordinat-
ed. Government agencies which
didn't have to produce the food, or
dered it. And their orders frequent
ly overlapped. Now all demands
will be screened through Crowley's
committee and the food adrninistra-
ton will not be asked the impossible.
Purposely the same man is never
given the job of making up quotas
Of desired war supplies and also of
actually producing them. It has been
found this is dangerous. There would
be too much temptation to cut the
quota to fit the available supplies.
Now certain amount of rivalry ex-
lists which forces each party to try
to get a little more than he thinks
he can. But there has to be some
one to act as final arbiter to bring
reach and grasp together with as
little spillage as possible.
The number Of civilians employed
in the United States declined to 50,-
120, 900 in January. or to the lowest
figure since the record high peak Of
81, $50, 900 was reached in July, 1943,
according to the Alexander Hamil-
ton institute. Nevertheless, practical
ly the largest possible percentage
of the total labor force was en-
ployed in January.
The decline in employment was
thus not due to lack of jobs but to
reduction in the available supply
of labor. The reduction in the la
Dor supply was caused partly by
persons Withdrawing themselves
from the labor force and partly by
persons entering the armed forces.
No alienation of the labor shortage
is in prospect until after the war.

Hollywood, March 3. There's more ham, sliced thicker In the Califor- mia state legislature than in Holly wood. Our authority today is Al- bert Dekker, the movie villain who was elected ASsemblyman from the s7 Conpressional districtt Holly wood) last November and who just returned from his first three-week legislative session,
 "Hamp-it'S all over the place" 7" Dekker said. T thought I was gct- ting away from actors for a while. Sacramento is just like Hollywood. Central Casting would have no trouble on the assembly floor. they're as real up there as they are in B pictures.
 Ttaking a leave of absence from makeup, Dekker checked into n Sacramento hotel full of enthusi- asm for his new job.

He was more interested in telling me about the roles he had played and reminiscing about the time he made his film debut in Greed than in discussing the bills scheduled for debate"

 Dekker sat down at his desk in the assembly.
 He recognized two sergeants at arms. Between sessions they arc prop men at M-G-M.
 Dokker still has the fan mall problem too. "I still get letters from irate people. Instead of pam hing my pictures they pan my bills. And everybody wants my autograph-on bills"

The recent visit of Eva Todd to New York reminded me of today's hand. Miss Todd. who now runs one of the largest bridge clubs in Los Angeles, was a former Cleve- lander. Cleveland players at that time were not using the powerful no trump opening.
 South's opening no trump bid and the fatal double allowed Miss Todd to make her contract. Had South made a normal opening bid, of a heart. North would have led a heart and defeated the contract.
