D. C. Supplies
Continued From First Page.)

Of trucks might be used in emer-
gency, under municipal leadership if
necessary, to import necessary sup
plies.
Hoarding already has begun, the
Commissioners were told, and they
were urged to do everything possible
to prevent runs on scarce commodi-
ties.
A co-ordinating committee was
expected to be named this afternoon
by the Board of Trade to keep close
touch on developments.
The Commissioners planned to
issue proclamation within a few
hours.
In a nutshell, here was the situa-
ton as briefed for the Commission
ers:
Food-Two and a half to three
weeks supply of perishables in cold
storage. Large grocery chain ware
houses stocked with three weeks to
a months supply of staples based
on normal buying. Exhaustion of
meat supply by l pm. today, but
adequate poultry available. Fresh
vegetables mostly trucked in. Fruits
scarce, coming mainly from the
West Coast. Milk adequate if elec-
trio power is maintained. Bread off
IS per cent, but sufficient flour in
stock to keep this rate up to July /,
barring other interruptions.
Fuel-Gasoline and oil adequate
and not likely to be affected by
rail strike. Most of it comes to the
city by barge or truck in containers
which cannot be used for anything
else and are not likely to be di-
verted.
Utilities-Except for electricity,
not likely to be much affected. Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. has a 28-
day supply of coal under its present
program; 100 carloads of Pepco coal
somewhere in vicinity of District
and several hundred more stopped
somewhere in transit.
Drugs and medical supplies-Two
weeks to go days in stock of drugs,
medicines and cosmetics. Seven out
of ten local hospitals adequately
supplied for two weeks and the Dis
trict Health Department for a
month. Health Department in a
pinch can help out private hospitals.
Shortage of medicine bottles and
importation of drugs such as peni-
cillin by air may be necessary later.
Emergency transportation-Prob-
ably adequate trucking facilities on
hand to meet emergencies.
Similar conditions generally were
reflected in municipal institutions

ers.
Sugar, which still is rationed, also
is short among wholesale supply
houses, it was learned.
From Safeway Stores came an ap-
peal earnestly suggesting IAN avoid
ance of hysterical buying"
In statement from an official,
the condition of supplies Of the
chain was described as follows:
'Nonperishable items: Two to
three weeks supply under normal
conditions (store buying).
Fresh fruits and vegetables:
Three days supply which can and
will be supplemented by supplies
from nearby agricultural areas and
trucked to our warehouses, provided
gasoline is available.
Meats: Three days normal sup
ply.
Poultry: Nearby supplies. are
available provided trucking is not
curtailed by possible gas situation.
Milk: Expect normal supplies If
trucking is not curtailed.''
One cheerful note came from the
fish industry, which now has swung
into the spring supply from Chesa-
peake Bay and its tributary rivers.
Fish Supplies Arriving Daily.
While shipments by rail from
Boston no longer bring in the widely
sold fillet of haddock and mackerel,
local supplies of rock fish, trout and
croakers are arriving daily now by
ship and truck.
Heavy shipments of fish from the
Chesapeake Bay area are reaching
the Capital each morning on the
Norfolk g. Washington boat from
Norfolk, fish dealers reported. Many
small boats also are coming up the
Potomac with catches.
Its just the right time of year
for the local fish supply" one dealer
remarked.
Restaurants are expected to be
hit hard by the meat shortage, &C
cording to Robert J. Wilson Of the
Washington Restaurant Association.
Eating places could not expect to
serve meat after week, he said.
because the bulk is received by
rail.
Medical supplies will not be af-
fected by the railroad strike unless
it lasts an unusually long time, John
E. Donaldson, retiring president of
the District of Columbia Pharma-
ceutical Association, said. The as
sociation represents most of the
wholesale firms and druggists in the
area.
Most of the wholesale dealers
who serve the hospitals, doctors and
the public are we'll stocked" Mr..
Donaldson said. However, if the
strike lasts too long-say month
things will become critical
Mr.. Donaldson, who is laboratory
director for Peoples Drug Stores,
said his firm had a laboratory in
Baltimore and shipped entirely by
truck. He estimated about so per
cent of the District drug supplies
were shipped by railroad.
Others to Feel Shortage.
He said a number of firms which
do not keep large stocks on hand
probably will begin to feel Short
age Immediately but the District as
whole would not be seriously hit.
Samuel Lichtenstein, president of
the District Wholesale Drug Corp,
at So o street NV, said his firm
came in the group which would be
hurt by the strike.
I'VE never carry more than a
weeks supply of anything and the
situation will be pathetic shortly
he said. He added that his firm
made daily deliveries to most of the
hospitals in the city and a large
number Of druggists.

American Readers Keep Interest Alive in Books on Russia
As Four More Titles of Growing List Appear for Review

The extent or at least the nature
of the peace of the coming years
depends in large degree upon the
ultimate foreign policy of Soviet
Russia.
Only time and the record of
events will tell this story in its en-
tirety. but important and significant
chapters have been written in the
deliberations of the foreign min
listers of the Big Four powers, in
the proceedings of the Security
Courcll of the United Nations and
in the day-by-day events of Central
Europe
Meanwhile, much else is being
written about Russia, and book sales
show continuing eagerness on the
part of the American public to learn
more about the nation that once
was allied with Nazi Germany, later
took leading part in its conquest
and now follows an inscrutably in
dividual course in the shaping of
the peace. Many of these books are
written by avowed friends, many by
avoWed critics Of communism and
the Soviet government. Real OBJ
jectivity, unfortunately, is infre-
quent.
-Four more Of this growing list
Of books are reviewed here this
week. One was written by Secre-
tary of Commerce Henry A. Wal
lace, another by former Represen-
tative Hamilton Fish of New York
and a third by Joseph Wechsberg,
Czechoslovakian by birth and former
American CT who now describes
himself as "just a writer" The
fourth is an analysis of the musical
works of Sergei Prokofef, Russian
composer, by Soviet government
authority.

SERGEI PROKOFIEV,
HIS MUSICAL LIFE
By Israel NestyeU. (Borsoi
Books, So
Reviewed by
ELENA DE SAYN.

An original departure from the
accepted type of books dealing with
the life and works of composers is
offered by Israel Nestyev, musicol-
ogist and chief editor, U. S. S. r.
Music Administration of the Radio
Committee. He allows the reader
to become acquainted with Prok-
of1ev, not so much by citing Incl
dents of his personal life, which he
does not discuss, but through
analyses of his compositions.
The book is prefaced by introduc-
tions. Sergei Eisenstein speaks CT
the composers admirable self-im-
posed discipline, as regards his
work, and of his genius in translat-
ing the imagery of the screen into
music, while the author points to
Prokofiev's dual musical PERSONAL
ity, of which part one expresses Rus
sian modernism of the past era, un-
affected by social struggle and hu-
man ideals" and the other the
present national ideal
Although Prokoflev, according to
Nestyev. had been infected by many
prejudices of his time, he outgreW
his experimental stages to "ap-
proach that summit of true art"
sweeping "the outmoded rubbish
and the rotten scum of decadence
out of the Augean stables of Rus
sian music, directing it along the
road of simplicity, concreteness and
accessibility. 1t is in this light
that the author views his latest
works: Peter and the Wolf"
Lieutenant Kije," alexander New
sky" and his latest opera, War
and Peace" written after Tolstoy's
famous novel.
Following the composer through
his Odyssey of life, from country to
country, he pictures him as a
healthy, nischievous boy, a youth
absorbed in his work of political
changes, the individualist who fights
reactionary professors to preserve
his originality and ideals, the popu-
lar performer and the rising Soviet
musician, the struggling composer
abroad, forced to adapt himself to
the tastes of the all-powerful, and
finally the prodical son who returns
to his native land to find there a
welcome, new creative incentive and
renewed inspiration.
Nestyevs exhaustive study of
Prokoflev's music and style, his
knowledge of outside influences re-
sponsible for changes, comparisons
between his idiom and that of his
contemporaries, linked with COM
prehensive outline of an entire CEN
tury of music and art. makes the
book informative and rich in general
interest.

Fresh Leaves
In Sun and Shade
SECRET COUNTRY

CEShEI COUNIRY
By Jorge Carrera Andrade
Translated from the Spanish
j. by Muna Lee. Macmillan
S2.50.J
There are some very lovely poems
IN this collection of the work of
the Ecuadorian Jorge Carrera An
orade. They are poems mostly of
the scenes of Mr.. Andrade's native
land and they have the living vivid
quality Of a fresh leaf glinting in
sun and shade. A primitive SIM
pllclty-or perhaps I should say
primitive sophistication of thought
combined with an Accomplished
mastery of line seems to be their
rule.
The original Spanish is included
In the volume, printed facing the
translation. One sees thus that
Muna Lee, the translator, has fol-
lowed the poet with unusual fidelity.
Fhe book is certainly one for the
reader OF poetry to have.
