ASSOCAdtCu lCSS
WASHINGTON, July 14.-P)-
Note to to President Truman and
thousands of other men having
trouble finding white shirts:
The War Production Board pre-
diets a decided improvement in
supply by October and an even
better situation by the first of the
year. In the meantime, though,
the shortage will remain acute.
Improving the long-range shirt
tail outlook is release by the mil
itary of 100000 yards of Oxford
cloth which will go into produc-
ton of white shirts-and shorts
late this quarter.
This windfall is in addition to
supplies Of cotton broadcloth al
ready earmarked for shirts under
the government inexpensive
clothing program.
HOME TEAM: There's still
good chance that permanent head
quarters of the United Nations Sc
curity organization will be in the
United States.
Delegates from many countries
to the San Francisco conference
said informally that they liked the
general climate over here. That
they considered the U. S. A.
good central location with respect
to both east and west. and that
they thought this nation leader
ship toward framing the Charter
was still another point.
jokes NEXT? Some high Of
ficials I think President Truman
will act promptly after the Big
Three meeting to replace Secre-
tary of the Interior Herold 1ckes.
Early speculation that WPB
Chairman J. A. Krug would get
the Ickes job has dwindled away.
Word is being passed that Krug,
despite good administrative rec
ord, has not enough political
''oomph" to make him cabinet
timber.
Besides, Krug repeatedly is
anxious to get out of government
as soon as production for the Pa
cific war is on safe basis and
reconversion well started. Some of
his aides would not be surprised
to see him leave this fall.
BIG JOB OPEN: One of the
most battling questions in a long
time is: Who will succeed Fred
Vinson as war mobilizer when
Vinson takes over Secretary Nor
genthau's Treasury portfolio?
Senator George D.-Ga0 con-
tinues to be mentioned as fire.
qiently as anybody.
So big is the job, and so few
are the qualifying candidates, that
some people think Vinson will
hang on to his present title after
he becomes Treasury secretary.
Most officials say this is unlikely
because the two jobs are too COM
pllcated for any one man. But the
argument is that for a while Vim
son could concentrate on being di-
rector of the Office of War Mo-
blllzation a d Reconversion and
leave much of the Treasury duties
to Undersecretary Daniel w. Bell
ANOTHER OFFER: Treasury
Undersecretary Bell has been Of
fered a high-salaries job in pri-
vate business but he has not def
initely decided to accept it. If
Vinson asks BELL to remain as un-
dersecretary, he may stay. If Vim
son appoints someone else, Bell
would have the choice of accept
ing a private offer or stepping
down to the post of fiscal assist
ant secretary.
PEN FOR PROTOCOL: There's
some talk that if Assistant Secre-
tary Archibald MacLeish is un-

seated in the expected depart.
mental saake-up, Macgleish may
be just as well pleased. It's re-
ported that poet MacLeish would
like to devote more time to writ
ing than he has in recent years.
If MacLeish should be dropped,
observers are wondering what
would be the future of the state
department pol cy of extensive
publicity on foreign policy mat
tiers, a policy recently spanked by
the team of Stettinius and Mac
Leish.
LOWER POINTS: The Army
expects to announce new point
system for the discharge of troops
late this month and indica tons
are that the total required will be
lowered.
LEAR TO RETIRE.: Lieut..
Gen. Ben Lear, former chief of
the Army ground forces and later
a deputy to Eisenhower in Europe
is coming home soon, and the i'm
preston around the pentagon is
that the famed warrior may hang
up his sword. Lear is average. In
fact, he was officially retired"
some time ago when he reached
the retirement age - but was
''hired back" 10 minutes later to
take on new job.
SOLO, LIKE IN A HAMMOCK
Despite the sleeping car shortage,
the Navy has no intention of
adopting the Army's plan of 1.-TWO
men to lower BERTH in troop
movements. The sailors will solo.
LIKE RABBIT: This year
severe shortage of meats is ex-
pected to give a big impetus to
one of the country's youngest and
fastest-growing Industries rabbit
production.
The Department of Commerce
says the commercial production of
domestic bunnies has been
stepped up more than 200 per cent
since Pearl Harbor. More prog
ress has been made in the indus
try in the past two years, owing
largely to the demand for meat,
than in the 20 years preceding
1913.
A "TVA" FOR CHINA: A
Yangtze valley authority for the
great river that cuts China in half
on an east-west line appears to
be one of the great industrial post
war developments destined for the
Far East. American engineering
skill n d technical equipment
seem likely to play an important
role in the Chinese-controlled prof.
ect.
It's difficult to exaggerate what
such development would mean
for China and the Orient general
ly. China still is in the kerosene
illumination stage and water buff
falo continue to supply much Of
the industrial power.
GOOD FISHIN': Fishermen can
look forward to waters rich in sup
ply when the motor travel restric-
lions are eased. The Office Of the
Coordinator of Fisheries says re-
strict.ons have given fish in re-
mote spots a new lease on life
and a chance to build up tnei:'
population.
The more local and acce uible
fishing spots have been pretty
thoroughly played by amateur
fishermen within A-card driving
distances.

Local Red Cross Aiding Servicemen, Ex-Servicemen

Among the many services offered by the home service branch of the Red Cross is the supplying of in- formation concerning allowances and allotments. Since the forms are difficult to fill out, the home serv- ice urges that servicemen's depend- entS call at American Red Cross headquarters, s Field street, for this purpose. If errors are made in the applications delay results Tn the payment of allowances.
 To assist the home service with the dissemination of information concerning the status of service men and their dependents the Dem- ocrat is publishing answers to ques- tons most frequently received by the home service division of the American Red Cross. This is the sixth installmert.
 O. am tWenty-one years of age, am disabled. and unable to work. Prior to his induction in the Army my brother supported me. Can l get help from the government
 A. Yes. Your brother should file for a family allowance for you. Sisters and brothers of servicemen over eighteen years of age who are unemployable are eligible for fam- fly allowance.
 O. Our family does not need any help from my brother who is in the Coast Guard, but we would like to save his money for him. Can he ap- ply for a family allowance?
 A. No Allowances are given only when absolute need is deter mined. Relatives other than wife and child of a serviceman must prove dependency. What your brother should do is file for a Glass E Allotment for a certain amount. This will be his own money which will be deducted monthly from his pay and sent to the persons whom he designates. An allotment differs from an allowance in that the gov- ernment does not contribute to the allotment
 Q. When my son was inducted m the Navy he did not file for an al- lowance for me because my husoano was working and supporting the family. Now my husband is III and is unable to work Can my son apply for an allowance for me nowF

Senator Hits 

Washington, March 13 - (U.PJ- Four freshmen senators predicted last night that machinery set up by the coming United Nations confer ence in San Francisco would go a long way toward solving the in- ternational problems of the post war world.
 The speakers two Republicans and two Democrats - told United Nations Forum that the decisions made in San Francisco for the Uni- ted States would be strictly non- partisan.
 Senator J. William Fulbright, D., Ark, hailed the coming conference but warned that the making of peace does not consist merely of a beautifully drafted constitution or a magic formula"
 Tt is continuing process that must go on from day to day, year to year so long as civilization shall last" he said.
 Senator Brien McMahon, D., Conn, said isolationists and nation alists were playing on the old hatreds of our Allies, Russia and England" in an effort to defeat ef- forts at international cooperation.
 'These termites, these irrespon- sible underminers of the structure of world peace are dangerous because they preach the doctrines of division and hatred, because they deny the brotherhood of man, dead ly and vicious because they preach the inevitability of another and final world conflagration."
 Senator Leverett Saltonstall. R., Mass, said machinery constructed at San Francisco would help solve postwar international problems. He said America wants homes, jobs and education, Russia wants boun- diary security and France wants to be sure Ruhr industries are not used to rearm Germany.
 Senator H. Alexander Smith, R., N. J., criticized the failure of the U. s. to participate in settlement of the Polish boundary dispute but praised the Yalta conference as a movement toward combined action of the three great powers not as world rulers but as trustees of world organization"

Press Meets HI. A. WaIIace
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN

Washington, March 13-(UP)- The walnut -paneled office of the secretary of commerce smelled strongly of off-brand cigarets. Every seat was occupied by a reporter when I got there and as conse- quence I leaned against a door jamb about three feet from Henry A. Wal lace. the new man.
 He was holding his first meeting with the press and he was nervous He laughed at things that weren't funny and tapped the arms of his chair with his fingers and tried not to answer most of the questions the experts asked him. After prolonged study of my notes I can report two definite things:
 1.-The new secretary has red eyebrows.
 2.-The right side of his nose twitches when he laughs.
 Secretary Wallace, otherwise. has every hope that the congress which almost baked at confirming him, will get along with him now that the fireworks have subsided. He's even received a friendly letter from Sen. Josiah w. Bailey of North Car dreamer only month ago.
 And what" asked a reporter, has been the reaction of the busi- ness community to you? Will the businessmen talk to your"

 The talk then got to possible trips of the secretary to look over the nations business. Wallace said he believed there would be quite a problem on the west coast.
 More than 100000 extra people are employed out there" he said "When the war is over something will have to be done. I believe ."
 Wallace shut his mouth, blinked and continued:
 q. but isn't there a ban or talking about postwar"
 "Only a ban on doing something about It." smart-cracked a core spondent. Wallace laughed lont ard loud and that's when l noticed the nose -crinkling phenomenon.
 AS for foreign trade, Wallace sait he'd already begun studying that He said he believed 1t should bt kept on a sustained yield basis. HI listeners looked puzzled.
 "That's a forestry term" he said "What mean is that you cam sell in foreign trade unless you alsC buy. If you push a fellow ava, with one hand and pull with thu other, there's bound to be trouble.
 And what, demanded a lady re- porter, "are you doing about those 6O,OO0.O0O jobs?"

$37, 7,0O allowance from my boy in the Army. My Marine son wanted to file an allowance for me, but his officer would not take the applica- tion. How can I get money from him?
 A. Allowances are possible from more than one man in service If need can be shown. We would sug- ges6 that your son again explain the matter to his officer so that an ap- plication can be filed for him at camp. If the officer still refuses to allow him to file an application in your behalf, we will write to our field director to ask him to look into this matter.
 e. My husband recently died. My son, who is in the Army overseas, has written me that he would like me to have an allowance. He sug- gested that I come to Red Gross. Can you help me?
 A. Yes. When a man is Sta- toned overseas, the dependent par ents can file the application. Our Home Service will be glad to com- plete this and have it notarized for you. We will also complete the SUD- plementary information required for @ parent so that all papers can be sent at the same time to expedite the receipt of your allowance. Red Cross does not determine eligibility of any allowance as eligibility is de- termined by the Army Personnel of the Office of Dependency Benefits where the application is sent.
 If you have any problems or ques- tions regarding servicemen, contact the Home Service Office at 35 Field Street.
