Wilson of Pittsburgh, vice. president in charge of operations for the Alul-linum Company, also brought along his aluminium chair. but he didn't sit in it. used one of the Senate's old-fasllioned wood- en chairs and described at length (2O pages of typescript, to be exact) the future of aluminium in tomor.. rows brave new world.
 While he talked, he fondled those dice, and I got to wondering what advantages aluminium worries have over ivory worries. I guess maybe your hand wouldn't get so tired, shaking 'em. The same general sit- uation probably obtains in connec- tion with aluminium collar buttons.
 Why weigh down your neck with one of those old, heavy, brass col- lar buttons when you can have a fine, light weight collar button from the Aluminium Corporation?
 When Wilson got his samples spread out, the chamber looked like country fair. His assistants used an assortment of aluminium castings for footstools, while Sen. George A. (No relation) Wilson of Iowa ex- amined a string of aluminium beads The senators made up the special committee surveying small business after the war. Alurinum-m Wilson told 'em there were at least 2,000 articles that could be made better of aluminium than anything else.
 His tinkering with his own alu- minum dice somehow seemed sym bolic; neither he nor the senators had any idea what the government would do with its de luxe new alu- minum factories, including one which is 12 minutes by taxicab from Grand Central Station in New York

 The experts discussed the history of aluminium. Then he put it back tenderly in a red velvet-lined jewel chest. You get one guess as to what metal the chest was made of.

FARMERS SURVEY
 NOT ENCOURAGING
1945 Food Production May Fall Below 1914 Due to
 Help Problem
By RUTH GMEINER

Washington, March 21-(UP)-In the face of perhaps the most criti- cal food shortage in the nations history, the Agriculture Department indicated today that 1945 produc- tion might fall below that of last year because of the shortage of help and equipment.
 The will to increase production is there, but the means are lacking" the Agriculture Department report ed as both President Roosevelt and Congress turned their attention to the food situation.
 The Agriculture Departments s spring survey of farmers plans showed that. 1945 plantings of major crops may equa: last years wartime record of 364,000,000 acres. But even if production from that acreage reaches last years high level, the total food output-crops and live stock-Would fall below 1914 because of 8 prospective 2,500,00O,00O pound drop in meat production.
 For the first time, the depart ment admitted that the American farmer has reached the maximum peak of production under wartime conditions. It blamed the shortage of farm equipment and transporta- tion and the heavy drafting of young farm workers.
 The Senate now has before it a house-approved resolution to set up a joint committee to investigate the wholesale" drafing of farm labor Both houses are proceeding with plans to investigate the entire food situation.
 Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, said his agriculture subcommittee would meet tomorrow to discuss plans for the $5,000 investigation ordered b ythe Senate Monday.
 The House rules committee is expected to take up today or to- morrow a resolution for a $l0,OOO food investigation. It was introduced by Rev. Clinton Anderson, D., N M
 President Roosevelt is assembling information on the food situation and will have something to say on the subject at his news conference Friday. He said the country was en- titled to the facts and that he wanted it to have them.
 To civilians hungry for steaks ham, poultry, butter, vegetable shortening and most canned goods, there was nothing too encouraging in farmers plans for this year.
 In response to new incentives provided by the government, the farmer has agreed to expand pro- duction of sugar beets by 20 per cent and flaXseed-needed to relieve a critical oil shortage-by 36 per cent. Output of rice, tobacco and barley also will rise. But farmers plan to cut production of all other food crops, the Agriculture Depart ment said

< Your GI Rights QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 ON SERvIcEMEN'S PROBLEMS
By DOUGLAS LARSEN NEA Staff Correspondent

 Jops Only Choice

Premier Gen. Kuniaki KOfsO told the Japanese people by radio today that there was a great possibility of an Amer ican landing on their homeland and warned there was only one chOice-victOry or death.
 KOisO's broadcast, reported by Australian monitors, was made on the occasion of officially noting the loss of Two Jima, a part of Japan's home empire.
 The grave message to the Japanese by their premier came shortly after War Min ister Marshal Gen. Sugiyama admitted to Parliament that Japan expects to become the scene of decisive battles" Other Tokyo brOadcasts warned the Japanese that the life of their empire was at stake.
 KOisO appealed for public support of government mea- sures and promised that his regime would give the people a strong leadership.
 He pointed out the loss of Two, a part of Tokyo prefec- ture, was a heavy blow and said the going in the future was mot going to be easy" But, he added, "if we do not rise up in burning anger now when will we ever do s0?"

 Passenger Action

Claiming he was severely injured in a collision between the car in which he was 8 passenger and a locomotive on a Bristol Railroad crossing, March 19. l944, Louis J. Naclerio of Waterbury seeks 10000 damages from the trustees of the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad Company, Ralph D. Iannotti of Waterbury, owner of the car, and his son, Richard Iannotti of Waterbury, operator of the vehi- cle.
 Attorney Edward Mascolo repre- sents the plaintiff in the litigation which will be filed in the local sup erior court for the return day on April 3.
 The accident occurred at 11:55 p. m., at the railrad crossing at Farm ington avenue in Bristol. The plain tiff, who was in the back seat of the car, was thrown to the floor, and sustained fracture of the nose, a sprain of the back, and numerous injuries to his face and body, the complaint states.
 It is alleged the locomotive was speeding and the operator failed to have it within sufficient control to enable him to stop within a reason- able distance. No warning of the engines approach was given and the Railroad Company failed to in- stall and operate proper safety de- vices at the crossing, the court writ states.
 The plaintiff claims the car driver did not reduce his speed although warning indicating the intersec- tion was visible on the highway. It is alleged further that the car was not equipped with light sufficient to show any person, vehicle or object upon the road and ahead of the car for distance of 200 feet.
 The railroad officials named as defendants in the suit are Howard s. Palmer, James Lee Loomis and Henry s. Sawyer, all of New Haven.
