ONE Of the most active fields

UNDOUBTEDLY. in many in
~ stances. they got their
hopes too high and as a natural
consequence there has been a
reaction of disappointment and
skepticism about these wonder
working extracts.
Some one asked me the other
day along these lines whether
there were any solid objective
methods Of examining a person
TO see whether any disturbance
Of the endocrines existed.
He was under the impression
that doctors just sort of guessed
that because this person was
too stout or too short or little
eccentric that this or that
endocrine extract would fix him
up, so he tried two or three in
a highly experimental mood.
The question has a good deal
OF p6int and deserves an answer.
III the enthusiastic layman. be-
guiled by endocrine fairy tales,
had looked in one Of the more
conservative medical treatises

found statements for which

50 Per Cent Reduction
In Army Food Buying
Slated by Next July
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Army food requirements, al
ready cut back 20 per cent since
Japan surrendered, will be re-
duced by half by next July
The military services have been
taking about II per cent OF the Ma
tion's food supply.
Reduction In military needs al
ready has ended rationing Of canned
fruits and vegetables. It may per-
NIT lifting Of meat rationing In the
fall. possibly In September. Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson said yester-
day.
The 20 per cent reduction in mill
tary food requirements will apply
until January / when needs will be
reduced another IS per cent for the
January March quarter.
Requirements are expected to drop
another 40 per cent for the March,
June quarter and so per cent for the
July September period.
Military requirements for October,
1945, through September, 1916, viii
average about AZ per cent below
those of the corresponding period
of 1944-5, officials said.
These planned reductions are in
line with Government proposals to
release Of upwards of 7,500,00 men
from the armed services In the next
Is months.
So far this year, Army food pur-
chases have averaged about $400,-
100000 a month. Before the sur
render Of Japan, the Army had
planned to buy at the monthly rate
Of about $500, ,00O, 900 for the re-
mainder of 1945. The rate now will
be reduced to about $240, ,000, 900,
with further cuts coming up in 1916.
One of the first evidences of re-
duced military requirements wilt be
Army withdrawal from the butter
market in September. The Army
had planned to take about 20 per
cent of the September butter output.
1t now plans to take none. It built
up reserves during the spring and
summer season for flush production.
The Government soon will an
nounce reduction in set-aside re-
quirements of canned fruits and
vegetables for the military services
and will end, probably in September,
set-aside orders for meat. Military
purchases of poultry will be scaled
down during the fall marketing
season.

Government Prepares
For Sale Of Hundreds
OF Surplus War Plants
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Hundreds Of Government-owned
war plants will be taken over by
private industry during the next
few months.
Government officials directing
disposal of some $4,000, 100000 of
surplus plants and equipment pre-
dicted today that sales and rentals
up to now only trickle-will in
crease substantially before long.
These officials forecast also that
private enterprise will put these
facilities into civilian production
quickly to absorb thousands of re-
leased war workers.
They expressed confidence that
peacetime uses will be found for
most Government war plants.
Industry undoubtedly has a lot of
ideas for those plants-probably
good many we haven't even thought
Of" said one official.
The job of disposing of around
1000 Government plants and Fed
orally -owned additions to private
holdings had scarcely begun when
the war ended.
At the start Of this month only
18 sales and leases had been COM
pleted. Negotiations for II other
properties were in an advanced
stage.
So far none of the Governments
huge aircraft, aluminium, mag
nesium and synthetic rubber
plants actually have been sold.
These, together with vast steel
plants, make up the lions share
