Relief and Rehabilitation admins
tration, and President Truman
asked for another 81, $50, 900, 900 for
the agency, UNRRA officials abroad
estimated that liberated European
countries would need 5000. 900 tons
Of foodstuffs this winter to avoid
starvation and serious malnutrition.
Because Of Interruptions in farm
ing caused by the war and drouth,
European agriculture will be able
to furnish metropolitan districts
with food assuring a daily intake Of
only 1900 ~calories, UNRRA said.
Though receipt of 1900, 900 ions Of
food would boost this figure to 1000
Galleries. the diet still would fall be-
low standard nutritional require
ments.
Investigations in Czechoslovakia,
Greece, Italy, Denmark. Holland,
Belgium, Yugoslavia and Norway
revealed that there was a pressing
need for feed to help rebuild the
cattle and dairy industries, serious
ly depleted by butchering of con
quering armies and the diversion
of grains to human consumption.
Having already shipped 2,400 COWS
to southern and eastern Europe,
UNRRA plans additional substantial
monthly deliveries through the win
ter.
Meanwhile, American grain mar
kets doomed upon the prospect Of
heavy demand in the coming months,

sational leader on the Chicago Board
Of Trade.
Cash rye held a substantial mar
gin W cash wheat, what with dis
tillers scrambling for the grain in
view Of a shortage Of corn and sor-
ghum, while the December future
scared to almost 81. 80 a bushel, top
ping December wheat for the first
time since 1921.
Another bullish factor in the mar
ket was an estimated drop Of 287..
900. 600 bushels in the 1914 rye crop
in Europe where the grain is an i'm.
portant bread staple, and smaller
supplies in both the U. S. and Can.
ada.
Because of the slowness In deliv.
cry Of grain to coastal ports. many
experts feared exports In the early
half Of 1916 might fall below ex'
pectations. Railroads clamped on

m effort to speed up unloading Of

CHINA:
Friendly Enemies

Once deadly enemies, Chinese ma
tionalists and Japanese troops have
become brothers in arms in north
ern China. where N%ipponese forces
have been employed by the central
government for the protection Of vi
tai territory and railroads against
communist attack.
While the Japanese actively aided
the nationalist in their drive to Sc
cure a foothold in the north, U. S..
marines kept their distance in the
bloody strife between Chang Kali
shek's troops and the Reds, being
ordered only to guard American
lives and property in the battle zone.
Meanwhile, the nationalists pressed
their advantage with lend-lease sup
plies originally destined for use
against the Japanese.
Though fighting ragged throughout
the whole northern area. attention
was riveted on nationalist attempts
to smash into the industrial province
Of Manchuria, which the commu-
nists repeatedly planned to convert
into a military stronghold. Early
fighting centered around Shanhaik-
wan, gateway city to Manchuria
lying at the eastern end Of the Great
Wall.

Total food available for civilians in 1916 will be considerably greater

however. will not be equally plentiful, with pork. the better grades of beef
and veals, fats. oils and sugar in shorter supply.
Most Of the expected improvement in civilian food supplies next year
stems from the sharp cutback in military food requirements. which will

REVIEW OF A NEW
AUTOMOBILE

The first 1916 model-automobile
has been unveiled to the public.
Thousands visited the showroom,
and shouts of joy went up as the
American buying public saw the
many new features. These included
tenders on both sides, bumpers IN
the proper position and brakes that
really worked.
Departures from the trend Of the
last four years were. numerous. a
marked leaning toward having the
chassis directly in line with the body,
instead of partly askew being spe-
cially noteworthy.
Further sensations included eX-
haust pipes that we're not dangling,
and a tendency to have all shackles
and bolts in the proper position.
Nothing like this had been seen on
automobiles since Pearl Harbor, and
the reception was terrific.
Outstanding innovations, too, were
windshields with the glass intact,
wipers that really worked by press
ing a little gadget, as directed, and
a dashboard clock that did not reg
lister BIS permanently.
The first view Of the new wonder
car made it plain that q o Of
surprises were in store for the mar
who has been driving what has
passed as an automobile since 1941'
For one thing-and this Is impor'
tant-doors are back! Definitely!
Much comment was caused by the
discovery that after closing the door
windows you can no longer stick
your hand out without lowering il
again. The public is expected to gel
used to this after a while. The ides
Of having one or more panes of glas:
missing has been completely
dropped.
Statesmen explained, however, tina
if customers through habit wished
to have a door with the glass miss
ing, they could arrange it.
Nineteen forty-six models vii
have paint on all parts, much Of I
with . gloss. Steering gears will b,
quite firm, It being no longer neces
sary to give them four or FIVE com
plete turns to control the wheels.
General approval Of the new car
was expressed; but there was on
sigh Of disappointment. 1t was dis
covered that the companies woul
make no departure from the 81
year rule of never providing a JAG
Or a kit of tools adequate for eve
a minor repair.
