FROM THE SENATE

Extract from a letter to Chairman Anderson from
Hon. James Murray, Chairman, Senate Small Business
Committee.)
"As. you have no.v been nominated for Secretary of

become War Food Administrator feel it is incumbent
upon you that your comee's recommendations

message to Members of Congress, to Governn
concerned with Food, and to the Public

TRUE, no one yet is Obliged to turn in ra-
4 ton stamps for purchase of baked goods.
1t is equally true however, that we face an
indirect but very effective form of rationing
Right now additional cuts in bakery use of
sugar and shortening are being proposed. If
they are put into effect, the bakers of America
will be forced to reduce their production to
levels that will seriously endanger the feeding
of the general public.
This in the face of supply of wheat, more
than adequate to meet any conceivable demand
...a supply, however, that is virtually useless
as food until it is rendered palatable by the
addition of sugar, shortening and other in
gradients.
This in the face, too, of increasingly critical
civilian shortages in meats and other protein
foods, for which bread and other bakery prod
ucts provide the most satisfactory and nutri-
tious replacement.
The demands of war workers and other
civilians for these energy foods have been met
by increasing bakery production to AS per
cent of pre-war levels. This has been accom-
plished in spite of drastic curtailments in the
amount ofsugar and shortening allowed bakers.
By direct rationing, bakers are now limited to
IS per cent of their pre-war use of sugar and
to 80 per cent of shortening.
To meet this all-time high in public demand
with limited materials has required the utmost
of skill and all possible conservation methods,

food. In our opinion, most of the Government
officials in the many agencies concerned with
food are genuinely alarmed No one man or
agency is responsible for the situation.
Food professors generally have welcomed
President Truman's appointment of Congress-
man Clinton P. Anderson as Secretary of Agri-
culture. With his associates on the House
Special Committee to Investigate Food Short
ages, he has laid the groundwork for his new
assignment to overhaul our critically tangled
food supply and distribution set-up. The Presi-
dent has indicated that Mr.. Anderson will have
the necessary authority to really function
throug h co-ordinated controls-an authority
which has not been delegated to anyone up to
this late date in the war.
1t may be that no measures can bring ade-
quate relief Immediately. But prompt action on
the Anderson Committee recommendations
including full disclosure of foreign shipments
is our only hope of maintaining decent mini
mum base for our home food program for the
balance of the war and the reconversion period.

in order to keep bakery products wholesome
and favorful.
Further curtailment of sugar and other essen
tial materials can mean only one thing: cor
responding reduction in the amount of baked
goods that can be provided for the American
public. The neighborhood baker will close his
store earlier in the day, or several days week.
The grocers bread and sweet-goods depart
ment will display "Sold Out" sign earlier and
oftener
There will be less bread, cake and other
baked foods for workers and school children's
lunches, and for the family table.

Its the best course I've ever had any
where. It's wonderful. 1t ought to be CON-
pulsory for the full four years" says Dave.
He finds his art, philosophy. and German
courses equally mature. And happily no one
has tried to get him to wear freshman cap!
OF course there are other CTS like Dave
Bishow in other colleges who face the same
problems. For residences, Brown, Bowdoin,
Union, Ohio State - to name few - are
counting heavily on quarters which retreating
war workers will leave behind them. Michi-
gan. Illinois, Oklahoma. and Purdue hope to
mushroom up apartment houses when men

Princeton is doing the same thing Williams

enroll in this otherwise strictly mems college,
and Kenyon is relying on faculty houses
while they last. So far they have.
With this problem solved the CTS chief diff
ficulty - and it's not serious one if he's de-
termined - is that while he can be husband,
father and student all at the same time, he
has to put his mind on it. Dave, now, has

The Bishows find life by no means lonely
A wife who is easy on the eyes, talks inter-
estingly. and bakes good biscuits is - short
of a convertible coupe - the best social asset
a student ever brought to college. Bishow
can hold bull sessions with home cooking.
As to CTS fear he may have grown too
old to study" there's nothing in it, according
to Dave At 26 he's older than good many
veterans will be when they're discharged.

buddies write to him). It's whether or not
college may seem bit puerile or flabby by
the time you're in your late 2O's. That, of
course, is something that hasn't been worry
ing the CTS alone; the educators themselves
are disturbed and have been looking at them
selves in mirror lately as ooncernedly as
woman trying on a new Easter hat.

Reduced Domoees

Further reduction of the to-
tai Of $83 ,847 in damage awards
assessed against the City of De-
troit in the recent Warren
Township airport condemnation
matter was allowed in Circuit
Court during the weekend
when Judge Paul r. Cash, of
Alma, Mich, handed down his
findings in a number of specific
awards which had been objected
to by Detroit counsel, Bert r.
Sogge.
In several instances attorney
fees originally allowed in Judge
Cash's damage awards handed
down on Sept. 20, were pared
still further, with an estimated
saving to Detroit Of several
thousands of dollars. In all
cases of such reduction, the
courts findings state that the
adjustment was made amicably.
In several specific awards to
property owners, objected to by
the City of Detroit as unreason-
able, Judge Cash modified his
original findings and either
eliminated the previous awards
or reduced them considerably.
LEGAL FEES CUT
Principal reduction In legal
fees was that given in the case
of Charles A. Retzlaff and
Carl j. Thrun. They were or

continue to manage their own
services" The other points in
the Presidents message called
