Food Shortage Relief
Seen by Daughton
b the Associated Press.

81 the Associ&teo Press.
An early easing Of food shortages
was anticipated by Representative
Daughton, Democrat, of Virginia
after comforting with Secretary Of
Agriculture Anderson. .
II feel positive some relief will
be forthcoming very, very shortly
in both red meat and poultry" Mr..
Daughton said yesterday.
The Virginian, who said several
days ago that the Army now has
in cold storage full years supply
of poultry, asked MIR. Anderson
about prospects of increasing poul-
try sales in the Virginia area.
The War Food Administration last
December set aside for the Army all
processed poultry produced In the
Delmarva Peninsula, one of the
Nations biggest producing areas,
and in other portions of Virginia
and West Virginia. The order sub
sequently was extended to other
areas in the South.
There has been one relaxation OF
the order, only 10 per cent now 60
ing to the Army. and Mr.. Daughton
said 81 am assured there will be
further material reductions in the
Army ALLEGATIONS in the near fu-
ture."
He asked the Secretary also to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of taking
careful inventories of all meat sup
plies now held in storage by the
armed forces. z
Mr.. Anderson agreed that the idea
was a good one, Mr.. Daughton said, :
but declared 1t probably would be
difficult to obtain accurate informa-
ton. =
The Virginian, meanwhile, has
asked the War Shipping Administra-
ton for a report on its food stock
piles and said he would study the
practicability of taking inventories
of Army and Navy stocks.
Mr.. Daughton said several days
ago he believed Government hoard
ing is largely responsible for the
present food shortages.

kenney 10 Command
Tactical Air Forces,
Pledges Big Jap Raids
By the Associated Press.

MANILA, July 10 en-.
George c. Kenney today was
handed the Army Air Forces
top tactical command against
Japan and promptly promised
that his Far East Fir Forces
with advanced headquarters
now on Okinawa would bomb the
enemy homeland "A hours a day
at all attitudes from 10 to 10000
feet.
Gen. Macarthur, who has had
Gen. Kenney as his right-hand man
for air since the early days on the
defensive In Australia and New
Guinea, announced that the Army
It'll Air Force, veteran of the Cen
trail Pacific, had been transferred
to Gen. Kenney's command. All
Army air operations from Okinawa
now are under Gen. Macarthur
overall command as chief Of Army
forces In the Pacific.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz dis
closed two days ago that the It'll
Air Force was reverting to Army
control.
Force Being Moved.
Gen. Macarthur said this force
was "in the process Of development
to forward bases to participate in
the air saturation Of Japan" This
force includes Liberator heavy
bombers and Mitchell mediums.
"a dispatch from Guam to-
day told Of a blow against "a
Naval Air Station In Japan by
more than 100 Liberators and
Mitchells which 1t did not ident-
ify otherwise but which may have
been part OF the It'll Air Forcel
Status of the 7th Fighter Com
mand, based on Two Jima, was not
made clear. Much of its work In the
past has involved escorting Super
Fortresses of the strategic air forces
over Japan.
Gen. Kenney's Far Eastern Air
Forces already included the 5th and
18th Air Forces. Elements of the
5th, have been operating against
Japan recently from new Okinawa
bases, but others of both the 5th and
18th are still active in the South
west Pacific area.
"As soon as we are In position we
will attack Japan from 10000 feet
and from 10 feet, with fire and ex-
plosives, with bombers and fighters
and we will do 1t a. hours O day.
declared Gen. Kenney, who will be
Sc on August 6.
Brig. Gen. David r. Hutchinson, at
present commander of the Far East
ern Air Forces already on Okinawa
said in an interview there that
bases were being developed "far
quicker hhan even the most opti-
mistic expectations" and that an my
opinion the Japs don't intend TO en-
gage us in the air."
Gen. Kenney, in taking over his
enlarged assignment, commented,
"the It'll has come from the east,
the 5th from the south and the 18th
from the southeast.
"Okinawa is long way from
Hawaii. from Port Moresby and the
Solomons, but we have learned some
thing with every more"
The man whose then-small air
force made history in March, 1913,
by sinking every one of a 22-ship
Japanese troop convoy in the Bis
marck Sea, remarked on the nu-
merous American tactical air inno-
vations, such as the parachute
borne "Parafrag" bomb, which ne
helped develop, and declared I'VE
have got still more tricks up our
sleeve"

Beets are not a source of vita

in vitamin A. Their tops are good
while the plants are young, but as
they grow older the tops get stringy.
There are many fine varieties OF
beets. If you like them young, when
their quality is best, pick out an
early variety and make several SOW
ings to provide an %all-season harvest.
They still remain tender, and may
even increase in sweetness, when
grown all summer long, however,
