The Why Of 1t
War Fund Aiding
French and Dutch
Questions and answers supplied
by the Community War Fund.-

@. Is it true that National War
Fund agencies supported by the
Community War Fund are operating
in countries that have not even
asked for aid from UNRRA?
A. Yes. Holland and France have
foreign exchange to buy the most
basic necessities and so are not ell
gible for relief from UNRRA, al
though they, too, face the problems
of uprooted people and devastation.
Therefore private agencies are doing
for them the same work they do in
countries receiving aid from UNR-
RIA. They are establishing hostels
for war orphans, re-equipping cli-'
MICS and hospitals. In France, they
are working with displaced persons
while training French relief work.
ers to take over the job. In Holland,
they are providing such supplement
tai supplies as powdered milk, baby
food. vitamins, pencils, paper and
even garden supplies.

Captured by japanese.
A native of Greenwood, N. Y, he
was taken prisoner by the Japs on
Bataan April 9, 1912, after being
wounded twice in the fighting which
cost him both his legs. He was in
Manila's Bilibid Prison until the
37th Infantry Division liberated
him on February 4, 1945.
He is a bit uncertain on his

End Of Sugar Rationing
Possible by Spring as
Jap Hoard Is Found
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

Sugar rationing may end
earlier than originally antici-
pated, possibly by spring, food
officials predicted today.
This forecast came after Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson disclosed
that the world sugar pool will be in
creased by some 100000 tons with
the discovery of sugar stockpiled in
Java by the japanese.
Officials now are hopeful that ad-
ditional stores of sugar will be
found in the interior of Java, in
FormoSa and other Far Eastern
areas once occupied by the Japa-
nese.
Mr.. Anderson also said he had
been informed that $4,000 tons of
crude rubber had been found In
Java.
Discovery Reported Monday.
Mr.. Anderson said the 1,600, ,000-
ton sugar find" was reported to him
Monday by E. C. Zimmerman, COM
missioner for the Netherlands East
Indies. The sugar will be added to
the world pool, he said.
This unforeseen supply, coupled
with prospects for a good Cuban
sugar crop, makes the world sugar
situation much easier" Mr. Ander-
son told reporters.
In addition, it should shorten the
period of sugar rationing in this
country. Last public announcements
on sugar told of prospects of ration
ing through most of 1916, with the
world supply not materially eased
before 1947.
Shipment to Start Soon.
Mr.. Anderson said some of the
Java sugar should start moving to
this country within two weeks.
Bakeries, which have been hard
hit by cut in fourth-quarter sugar
ALLEGATIONS, may receive the first
benefit Of the new supplies. 1t would
come at a time when sugar con-
sumption is high as bakeries anc
candy makers prepare for the holi-
day trade
The Secretary explained that the
Java sugar would be divided among
claimants by the Combined Food
Board, which is composed of Ca
madam, United States and British
representatives. While he could not
say what the United States alloca-
ton would be, it is believed that our
share of the sugar may run between
700, 200 and 100000 tons.
Food planners have allocated S.
100000 tons of sugar for United
States consumption this year.

new bridge, nominated candidates
to fill two vacancies on the Board

dren, aid to the blind, boarding
care for children, and general pub
lie assistance.
A total of $8,4 was approved for
the rebuilding of the Kilgour Greek

sioners accepted low bid on the

fore the commissioners to protest
the assessments on his large hold

more than 1,100 acres by his cal
culations.
For total assessed property of
s92, 800, he said, his taxes were over
81, $50.
He is now remodeling the old
Tschifely estate, near Rockville,
where he said he hopes to have his
own fire engine house and equip
ment, swimming pool and conserya-
tory of music. There he said he
hopes to entertain young people
with dances and concerts.
Rather than keep spending money
in taxes, he asserted, he would
rather make an outright gift of sew
eral thousand dollars.

House Debates Bill
For Reorganization
OF Federal Agencies

Representative Hoffman, Repub-
lican, of Michigan today voiced gen.
eral approval of the bill giving Presi-
dent Truman broad powers to re-
organize the Government, as the
House opened debate on the measure
One Of the most militant antiad-
m1nistration members of Congress,
Mr.. Hoffman said he was convinced
the President should be given power
to revamp Federal agencies in the
interest of economy and more eff
cient Government operation
Mr.. Hoffman criticized use of
pressure on Congress from heads of
various agencies to exempt their
units from any reorganization plan.
IF each and all of us were to
yield to these pressures to exempt
a particular agency, we would in
the end get. no worthwhile bill," he
said.
Opposes Exemptions.
Mr.. Hoffman declared there was
no reason why any agency should
be exempt from the Presidents
efforts to improve it's functions or to
reduce its operating cost.
Let the President, whoever he
may be, with his aides and his assist
ants, with the mass of material
AVAILABLE, suggest the proposed re-
duction of personnel and expense.
Then let the House say whether
that particular plan shall or shall
not become a law" Mr.. Hoffman
said. ...4ts
Mr.. Hoffman objected to one part
of the bill which provides any plan
submitted by the President shall be-
come law unless it is disapproved
by majority of both houses within
so days.
Declaring this to be unconstitu-
tional, MFR. Hoffman said he would
offer an, amendment which would
require the regular majority vote OF
both the House and the Senate for
approval of any reorganization plan
Brown Favors Trimming Staff.
Another Republican, Representa-
tive Brown, of Ohio, said he favored
reorganization but declared that
considerable trimming down" OF
the more than 100000 Government
employees should accompany this
program
What the country wants is abol-
ishment of unneeded Government
agencies and the discharge of mil
lions of Government employees" Mr..
Brown said.
The House agreed to limit debate
on the measure to four hours, fol-
lowing which amendments will be
offered.
Under provisions of the legislation
reported out by the House Com
mittee on Expenditures, all agencies
in the executive branch of the Gov
ernment would be subject to reor-
ganization except the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the Federal
Trade Commission and the Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission. An
other section Of the bill provides
that four other agencies, the Civil
Service Commission, the Federal
Communications Commission, the
Federal Power Commission and the
Veterans Administration, cannot be
reorganized except under a separate
plan for each one.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
recently completed hearings on a
similar measure and is expected to
report out bill soon.

Four-Hour Stoppoge
Here Scheduled for
Friday Afternoon

The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. mapped plans today to
maintain some sort of phone service
during the scheduled four-hour
walkout of its employees Friday, but
company officials admitted the serv-
ice will be far from normal"
Dial service is expected to be af-
fected only slightly, since COM
paratively few employees are involved
in operation of the service. Long,
distance calls will be hardest hit, al
though the company plans to main
tain some sort of service during the
2 to 6 pm. period Friday. Only a
few long distance calls can be han
died, officials admitted.
Western Electric Co. today asked
the National Labor Relations Board
for a 60-day extension of time in
which to file exceptions to the rec
ommendation of the boards trial
examiner that the Western Electric
Employees Association at the COM
pany's Point Breeze plant at Kearny,
N. Y, be dissolved. The order was
based on the grounds that the asso-
clation was the successor of COM
pany union dominated by the tele-
phone company. 1t is over this issue
the telephone strike is threatened.
Seeks to Argue Case.
In its request for an extension Of
time, the company said it lis neces-
sary in the interests of orderly pro-
cedure." The company also asked
the opportunity to argue the case in
person before the board.
In New York j. j. Moran, vice
president of the National Fedora
tion of Telephone Workers. asserted
the employees association was not
company dominated union, what
ever the original union may have
been.
NLRB spokesmen said normal
procedure is to grant a request for
appearance in person to argue
case before the board. The spokes-
man also emphasized that the
NFTW was not party to the pro-
ceedings and had never sought to
intervene in them in the more than
six months of hearings.
Will Decide on Record. 20
"The board" the spokesman said,
will make a decision on the record,
following the procedure established
in thousands of cases and in the
courts
Mr.. Moran said, "If we strike we
will strike solely against the policies
of some members of the National
Labor Relations Board
Declaring the NLRB is trying to
force the association to join either
the CIO or the AFL, Mr.. Moran said
that "we are not against either of
these two organizations, but we
want to be independent"
Meanwhile, leaders of the tele-
| phone union here went ahead with
plans to stage giant mass meet
ing at 2 pm. Friday at Uline Arena
in demonstration of national
unity" in the threatened Nation-
wide strike of the National Fedora
tion Of Telephone Workers.
Up to National Union,
Mrs. Mary Cannon, president Of
the Washington Telephone Traffic
Union, which is affiliated with the
NFTW, said the local union will
be bound by the decision of the
national union on whether to strike.
Mrs. Cannon added, however,
that conditions might change by
Friday and there was a possibility
that the local union might take a
strike vote of it's own.
Telephone company officials ex-
pressed the hope that not all Of
their employees will join in the walk
out. They pointed out that the
dispute does not involve the COM
panY.
