Combined Food Board
Speeds Agreement on
Foreign Grain Quotas
By MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

The Combined Food Board may
reach agreement by this week
end on ALLEGATIONS Of rice and
wheat for famine stricken coun-
tries during the next three
months. Working committees of
the board were meeting today to
work out details of sharing short
world supplies of grain.
Near agreement was reached at a
full-dress meeting of the board yes
terday, according to Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson, the United
States representative on the board.
Until yesterdays four-hour session
in the Agriculture Department, 1t
was believed that several weeks
would elapse before wheat alloca-
tions could be worked out. However.
dire need in many countries spurred
the board in its deliberations.
Among those attending the meet
ing were Undersecretary of State
Acheson, Assistant Secretary Of War
Howard c. Peterson, Lester B. Pear
son, Canadian Ambassador; Sir Ben
Smith, British Food Minister, and a
large number of staff experts of
foreign food missions.
German Diet May Be Cut.
One outcome of the session may be
a downward revision in the caloric
diet of Germans, a move repeatedly
being pressed by Sir Ben Smith.
An Agriculture Department off,
cial said the department was study
ing proposal made by some
wheat people" outside Government
that farmers be given certificates for
full ceiling price of their wheat, re-
turnable any time up to June, 1947.
1t is thought this might encourage
movement of grain for export, as
producers thus could avoid paying
taxes on the wheat sales this year.
The plan, if placed in operation,
would have to be approved by the
Treasury Department, however.
Meanwhile, President Truman's
suggestion that mass dinners"
could be we'll eliminated to help save
food for starving persons abroad
brought an announcement from the
Democratic National Committee
that the Jackson day dinner here
March % would be cut in caloric
content.
Chairman Robert E. Hannegan
said a menu has been planned
which would approximate in the
caloric value the fare that is avail
able to the people in devastated

ton of the death was given by the
field marshars own chief OF intel
ligence, a 1t. Col. Michael, who was
taken into custody recently.
The officers quoted Col. Michael
as saying:
ION April 81, 1945, Field Marshal
Model shot himself in my presence
in wood near Duisburg. I buried
him and am, as far as know, the
only person who knows where his
grave is. He chose death because
he had been accused of being war
criminal by the Russians.
I'm the course of conversations
had had with him over a period of
days, I expressed my opinion that
the Western powers would hand him
over to the Russians-and it was
this which decided him"

They also ask 81 cents an hour
more for plant and butter and egg

and guaranteed minimum of
S43.50. For wholesale drivers it is
$3.50 a week base plus per cent

Eugene R. Hubbard, secretary
treasurer and business manager of
the local, said the union had not
filed notice of striking and that such
action would depend on outcome Of
negotiations with the operators.

Austin Asks PASSAGE
OF Four Laws Aimed
al Strengthening U. 5.

Senator Austin, Republican, OF
Vermont, called on Congress yes
terday to unite in passing four laws
to make the United States strong
as the most effective means of pre-
serving world peace and security
He urged prompt enactment Of:
An extension of the Selective
Service Act, which expires May is:
control of atomic energy; reorgani-
cation of the military departments
and a program for the education
and training of "the reserves which
are necessary to be instantly sum-
monable in any emergency"
Must Act Promptly.
I think that no other one thing
could do so much for the cause OF
security in the world as that we. the
Congress Of the United States
should take such action-and take
it promptly-that other countries of
the world would be assured of our
intention to carry out our commit
ments," Senator Austin told the
Senate.
How can great country like
Russia have faith in the United
States, which is the leader of all the
treaty powers of the earth, if Russia
mas reason to suspect that America
Is Wlllfully failing to carry out her
commitment with respect to occu-
patton of enemy territory util the
enemy is entirely pacified?
How can that country abandon
It's unllateral effort at security if. it
doubts the faith of this great coun-
try OF the United States to maintain
such military posture and strength
that it will be able to contribute to
the unified effort through the UNO
during this period of development
in the world of new sanctions for
peace? How can we afford to post
pone the necessary legislation.
which it is our duty to enact, and
at the same time criticize other
great countries for their apparent
efforts to establish security for
themselveS?"
The Vermont Senator, a member
OF the Military Affairs Committee,
said success is claimed for the VOL
untary enlistment program, but he
asked how long that program would
succeed if it lost the sanction and
incentive the Selective Act gives
young men to volunteer for a par
ticular service.
I'VE must realize" he continued,
that our foreign policy, our efforts
at establishing a strong and effec-
tive UNO, are fully dependent upon
our proving to our vis-a-vis through
out the world that this country is
not going to welch, that this coun-
Try is going to carry on, and that it
S going to be in a military posture
which the most scientific of military
men in other countries can see is
,ne of authority, and is at the
same time posture which is not so
that the burden upon the
,axpayer will make it fall of its
,reat weight.
Mr.. President, I think yesterday
vas a very trying day for ourl
oeople. I am not sure that the air
S now clarified, or will be for days
20 come, so that we can feel at all
aopeful of staying out of another
war. 1t is up to the Congress more
than to any other people on earth
10 determine that our policy, our
attitude toward our neighbors, shall
be such that they may be assured
that we are truly going to back up
security and peace, and that we
are going to keep ourselves qualified
and strong to do it."

Navy Spokesman Says
Budget Will Reduce
Postwar Fleet by 1917

If Congress follows the recon-
mendation of President Truman and
the Budget Bureau, the Navy will
have to cut its planned postwar fleet
and personnel by approximately 10
per cent, a Navy spokesman said
today.
Moreover. further cut in person.
mel would be inevitable If the pro-
posed Federal pay increase is passed
by Congress.
The Navy originally asked for
Sc, 800, 900, 900 for the 1947 fiscal year.
The Budget Bureau cut this to
So, ,960, ,000, 600, but after Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal visited the White
House to plead the Navy's cause,
the President recommended a total
of s4,224, 900 900 to Congress.
Navy Officials Gloomy.
Navy spokesman were gloomy
about the outlook on the reduced
budget, predicting that the Navy
would find it necessary to forego 90
combatant ships which it had rec
commended for fleet operations to
carry out its commitments.
This realignment would leave four
battleships as originally recon-
mended and % cruisers of all types,
one more than had been planned.
In the carrier class, the three large
battle cruisers Of the Midway class
would be kept in operation, but one
less Essex class carrier and three
less escort carriers would be oper-
ated. This would leave in operation
in the postwar fleet three battle
carriers of the Midway class, nine
Essex class carriers and 10 escort
carriers.
The new budget would provide
only for the operation of 126 de-
stroyers, nine less than were plan
ned; 30 destroyer escorts, a reduc-
ton of six, and 80 submarines, a re-
duction of 10.
$4,000 Enlisted Personnel.
The Navy also would have to dis
pose Of an additional 78 ships by
scrapping or sale. This figure in
cludes two old battleships, four
light cruisers, 10 escort carriers and
So destroyer escorts.
While the Navy originally asked
for funds for 100000 enlisted per-
sonnel, the proposed budget would
require cut by June, 1947, to 437,-
600, and reduction in the proposed
number of officers from $4,000 to
$4,000.
While it was indicated that there
would be some funds provided for
limited construction at overseas
bases, it would be necessary to reduce
the number of bases from the So
originally planned.
The proposed enlisted complement
of the Marine Corps would be cut
from 100000 to $4,000.
