entitled"
Other Recommendation Made.
Other points recommended in the
Governors statement included:
Re-examination Of the quota sys-
TEN with = view to local quota
fixing In each area based on Its own
conditions"
Elimination "of most of these new
slaughtererS who have recently en-
tered the slaughtering business" as
an important step controlling the
flow Of meat products"
New regulations making provisions
for seasonal variation in population
when determining area meat alloca-
tions.
More effective control over the
meat supply available to public eat
ing establishments in order to cor
rect this inequity in our distributive
system"
Handling of oPA enforcement on
. Federal basis because ut il in.
herent In the food supply situation
that States cannot take over the
Federal function Of enforcement Of
OPA regulations.
Sheuld "Csacentrate" On Feed.
The statement said that until
our dealing in food is under control
again the OPA should concentrate
on this and related fields rather
than enforcing ceilings on cocktails
and fur coats"
In asking OPA to concentrate on
good enforcement, the Governors
said that unless this program can
be made shortly to work, and work
effectively, regulation Of one or
more groups of minor or unim-
portant items should be aban-
doned ="
The Governors declared that the
food program has been plagued from
its inception by = multiplicity OF
agencies.
They added there should be -
better coordination between the
procurement officers for the armed
forces, lease-lend and other agen-
cies dealing with the relief of liber-
ated areas and the agencies dealing
with civilian supplies" -
Rap uneven Distribution"
Alleged uneven distribution of
food supplies resulting in black mar
'ket operations was criticized.
1T is our conclusion" the state
ment said, that one person or
agency must have final responsible
ity for all phases of the food pro-
gram If we are to bring order out OF
the present chaos"
Pointing out that the Anderson
Committee reports on the National
food situation showed estimates Of
illegal sales as high as 90 per cent
Of total sales In some areas, the
Governors said:
This represents an alarming
tendency toward Z complete break
down In price control of these es-
sential foods.

ference are New York, Connecticut,

III Gen. Roosevelt
Obtained Other Loans
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. 4
Senator Willis, Republican, of
Indiana, has asked Secretary OF the
Treasury Morgenthau whether FL
lott Roosevelt had obtained loans
from "other prominent men such
as the $200, 600 which John Hartford
said he lent the Presidents son
and finally settled for $4,000.
Senator Willis office made public
q letter from the Senator to Mr..
Morgenthau concerning the reported
loan by Mr.. Hartford, president
of the Great A&P Tea Co.
Asks Some Questions.
Basing his inquiries on bad
debts" deduction Of more than $780,
900 claimed by Mr.. Hartford In his
1912 income tax return, Senator
Willis asked for replies to these
questions:
Il. Why did the Internal Revenue
Bureau wait until recently to begin
investigating Mr.. Hartfords 1912
deduction of such q large amount?
q. Do you not feel that 1t is time
for drastic improvement In the serv-
ice OF the Internal Revenue Bureau
when this agency of the Govern
ment is two years behind in investi-
eating the returns Of the richest
men in America?
g. Would you use the 10000 new
dncome tax enforcement agents
on these higher brackets, rather
than concentrating on the small
businessmen =?
u Did you ever talk with Mr..
Hannegan (Robert e. Hannegan,
Democratic national chairman and
Postmaster General, and former
collector of internal revenue) about
this particular return. and. If so,
what his excuse for not making the
necessary investigation at that time?
What About Disposition!
IS. Can you tell me whether or
not Elliott Roosevelt reported the
ultimate disposition of the 1885,
600 =? Also, can you tell me
whether or not Elliott Roosevelt ne
gotiated other loans from other
prominent men, as has been rum
ored?
Is. If a young civilian of % were
to deposit $1,000 or more In a
bank, although having no great
noticeable income, would you ex-
pect a banker OF today to report
that as an unusual transaction? Or
what exactly do you mean when
you request banks to report every
unusual Transaction
Young Roosevelt, now an Air
Force brigadier general, was said
by Mr.. Hartford's attorney to have
borrowed the money to finance a
radio enterprise.

Little Opposition Seen.
The President was authoritatively
reported to have counted less than
a dozen potential votes against the
peace organization charter.
Sources close to the Chief Execu-
tive said he has talked personally
with virtually every member of the
Senate and that he Is optimistic over
prospects for overwhelming ratiflca-
ton.
In his temporary White House"
here where he is enjoying a brief
vacation as the guest of Gov. Mon
C. Wallgren, Mr.. Truman is re-
ported to have gone over the list OF
Senators repeatedly. He is said to
be in the confidence of many Sem

peace charter may prove surprising

On the following Monday, Premier

Charles M. Ross said today.
The President had no plans today

his host, was in Everett, Wash, for
the funeral Of his brother-in-law,
Clarence Hickey, State highway di-

Yesterday the President made the
175-mile round trip to Mount
Rainier and lunched in the Paradise
Inn at Tmberline, 5,557 feet up the
14,000-foot peak, the point at which
mountain climbers take off. Forest

Before leaving, Mr.. Truman shook
hands with all the employees of the
inn, including a group of high
school boys and girls who work there
In vacation. Some were so awed
that they had trouble gulping out
their names when he asked.
Little knots of tourists and noun
tain dwellers greeted the President

On the return trip he divided auto

On returning to Olympia, the
President went to the rear of the

regular Secret Service guard, and
thanked them for adding to the
enjoyment of his trip.
Later, the President talked with
George E. Allen, former District
Commissioner, who came from Sar

ton drafted at the United Nations
Conference. which will end here
Tuesday.
Indications are that some yocifer-
Gus opposition to ratification, at least
unqualified ratification, may de-
velop early In the hearings, Some
omcials. say. they are uncertain
whether this would promote or
hamper, the Berlin talks, since it
might presumably be used as bar
gaining weapon by Mn. Truman II
the situation required that.
Final decision on timing of the
hearings will be made after Chair
man Connally Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michi-
gan return to Washington next
week. They will report to the Sem
ate on accomplishments of the con-
ference here, in which they are
participating as members of the
United States delegation.
Senator Connally predicts the
Senate eventually will ratify the
charter with a comfortable edge"
over the needed two-thirds vote
"a Senators out of 96 when all are
present and voting. That may not
be before September, allowing a
month for debate.
British Seek Haste Also.
Both American and British lead
ers are planning to push ratification
along as rapidly as possible. British
Ambassador Lord Halifax said yes
terday that Parliament would get a
chance relatively soon to voice its
opinion of the charter, which he de-
scribed as notable improvement
over the old League of Nations.
But Lord Halifax explained that
in Britain ratification of a treaty
which is what the charter is tech
nicany-is something to be handled
primarily by the executive end of the
government rather than by Parli-
ment.
Senator Connally told news con-
ference that the Senate would ratify
the charter because of "the nonpo-
litical support" it will get in WASH
ington.
Republicans and Democrats" he
said, will support it. That has been
the constant policy of the Foreign
Relations Committee for the last
three years. We believe that par
tisan politics should end at the
waters edge
Plans Early Meeting.
He said as soon rs possible after
reaching Washington he would call
a meeting Of the committee to de-
tern1ine ''the most practicable means
to secure speedy action in the COM
mittee and on the floor to secure
ratification of the charter"
It is expected here that the hear
ings will last about two weeks, be-
ginning in mid-July, and that Sen
ate debate will take at least 2
month. This would hold little pros
pect OF final Senate action before
September even though the Senate
should meet right on through the
summer, which would be contrary
to members expressed hopes for 4
vacation.

Uncle Roy's Corner

Two questions about bears were
asked in letter written to me by
Katherine Klauber.
Would you please tell the reason
why bears hibernate?" she asked.
Also. will you tell whether all bears
do this?"
When bear "hibernates," it goes
to sleep, or at least rests, during
winter months.
might reply to the first ques-
ton by saying that bears hibernate
because it is an old custom of theirs.
Very likely the custom started when
the ancestors of present-day bears
found that food was scarce in win
ter. Instead Of wasting muscle pow
er looking for food, they followed
the plan Of resting until a better
season came.
Another reason for the custom of
alternating is the escape it gives
from the chill winds of winter. In a
mountain cave, or other protected
place, bears are shielded. Some of
them make winter homes for them
selves by digging holes below the
| trunks of fallen trees.
Most bears hibernate, but not all
of them. The black bear, the grizzly
and the Alaska brown bear sleep
during the winter. Now and then,
they change dens during the winter,
or wander about on a mild day, but
usually they stay in their dens from
November or December until April.
An exception to the rule is the
male polar bear This big fellow
tramps the snowy wastes and swirls
in the sea in the dark months of
winter as well as in the sun filled
summer. Female polar bears, how
ever, den up for the winter, and
their cubs are born before spring.
Many animals, besides bears, hi
bernate. Some go into a far deeper
sleep than bears do. The little dor
mouse rolls up in ball and is lost
to the world" for five or six months.
Raccoons and porcupines enjoy a
long winter sleep, and so do wood
chucks, frogs and toads.
Some animals shield themselves
from winter winds, but do not hiber-
nate in the sense of sleeping week
after week. Chipmunks and gophers
keep out of sight in winter but feed
on Stored-up food,
