| In taking over the administra-
ton Of UNRRA, Fiorello H. La
Guardia win aim ut only one tar
get: Groceries and more groceries
for the starving.
All other aspects Of the diffuse
UNRRA program will be jettisoned
or subordinated so that vital funds
and energy may fow into an ever
expanding food channel. Welfare
and social projects, for example, in
formation reaching the new ad-
ministrator Is that well-meaning
UNRRA staff officers have initiated
variety Of them, will be shelved.
The emphasis will be put entirely
upon two questions: How can we
pry loose the food at home? How
can we get 1t the fastest to the
hungriest?
BY fortuitous circumstance, Mr..
La Guardia had long talk with
Herbert Hoover's principal aide,
Hugh Gibson, just prior to the
Hoover Gibson departure for Eu-
rope. He expects to rely heavily
on their reports OF actual needs,
and 1t is his hope and belief that
the American people will have the
same confidence in the former
Presidents assessment of condi-
tions.
Under No Illusions.
Mr.. La Guardia will not call for
rationing at home. It is too late
now for that, in his opinion.
The ex-Mayor is under no illu-
sions about his new Job. II it were
good one and freighted with pres
tige, the politicians wouldn't let the
rambunctious. patronage hating
New Yorker have 1t. Within year
UNRRA will be absorbed by UN-
and every experienced administra-
tor knows what the prospect Of dis
solution does to any organization
from the standpoint of efficiency.
Like every one else in Washington,
he Is aware that UNRRA is reputed
to have more. than its share Of in
competents.
UNRRA's errors are by no means
entirely the fault Of retiring Gov.
Lehman. He was appointed by Mr..
Roosevelt at a time when I'VE must
get on with the war" was the COM
mon excuse of the White House,
Congress and public opinion for
neglecting the most elementary
planning and foresight with respect
to the problems that torment us
now: Veterans care, housing, in
flation, as well as UNRRA. Gov.
Lehman was given an once in the
State Department, a press agent and
q secretary, and 1t is hardly an exag-
geration to say that for six months
he could not get anybody to talk to
him.
Competition for personnel was
fierce. The services had the draft;
industry virtually had the bottom
less purse Of Uncle Sam out of which
to pay wages. The Red Cross and
government competed in
the older-age groups. and they could
offer immediate access to the war
areas.
Mr.. Lehman, the gentle, charita-
BILE, colorless banker who could
never have crashed politics except
