month ago becomes more
and more acute. The Val
ley product is reaching t. every
corner Of tho country and calls
mount daily.
Much Of inc product IN stOra2C
has been shipped and plants nuW
arc sending out full daily capacity
output.
Figures complied Saturday show
that daily shipments from Ell Cen

For the most part current ship
mentS go to the main railroad icing

is being dispatched TO a number Of
cities for domestic distribution
Ar indication Of the spread Of the
shortage and the acute needs is
shown in wire query to the I'm
perial ice division of the Pacific
Electric company Friday from the
Seattle Fish & Oyster company.
That firm advised that the ice was
needed az New Westminster. Brit

PEELED to reply that the call could
not be met because of previous

haf been reached
Help to meet the country wide
shortage is possible from Valley
plants because peak shipments o.
melons and other pCrishable crops
have been passed and storage and
daily output supplies become avail
able
CAUSE OF SHORTAGE
Directly, the cause for the short
age is traced TO military needs and
ripening of periShable fruits and
vegetables all at once" in big pro-
ducing areas. The railroads are
taxed to capacity to provide cars
and transport and requirements Re
yOnd all previous on record at icing
Ccnters made it necessary to ship
supplies long distances.
Shortage conditions on rail lines
are most acute at San Bernardino,
Las Vegas. Nevada, and Ell Paso, il

 GRID MEETING
By MURRAY ROSE Associated Press Sports Writer)

NEW YORK. Oct. 13 - Armys powerful Cadets clash with Michi gan's Wolverines today in the top game of national football pro- gram highlighted by intersectional and interconference tilts.
 The Cadets, with passer Arnold Tucker in shape to handle full time duty along with Doc Blan- chard, Glenn Davis and Hershel Fuson, are four-touchdown favor ties to beat back Fritz Crisler's youthful band
 Despite the side-lining of Tucker for a major portion of their two contests, the flashy Army squad was able to pile up terrific yardage in walloping the Personnel Dis tribution Command, 32-0, and Wake Forest, $40.
 The Wolverines have been coming along fast since they were bumped 1877 by Indiana. They mauled Michigan State 40-0 and evened their Big Ten count by humping Northwestern, 20-7, last week.

New Soviet records, of which more than 150 were established this summer, are worth 5000 to 15,000 rubles each. No wonder the strictly amateur Olympic authori- ties are wondering what will happen if the Soviet wants to enter the next world games. {.

II covers the 330-foot steeple

Putting all this pipe together

It takes a lot Of hustling to
climb around the 34-floor-high

of the workers Is near so. Some
of them make the climb twice a
