|UNRRA' 5 Delegates
Study Lehman Plea
For Food Rationinq
BY ihs Assoeioisd Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Mar. 20.-
A stern admonition for world wide
belt tightening, with universal ra-
tioning and stringent safeguards
against wastage of food, confronted
delegates to UNRRA's 47-member
council today as they searched for
ways OF warding of mass starvation.
Here in an atmosphere of COM
parative luxury, men and women
who have known suffering at first
hand in recently liberated lands
pondered Director General Herbert
Lehman's call for return to the rigid
wartime food controls to win the
peacetime fight against hunger.
Setting the stage for a full dress
debate on food which will open to-
day, the retiring UNRRA chief eau
TONED yesterday that voluntary food
conservation measures alone mo
matter how energetically they are
pursued, are not enough"
Asks Full Production.
He called for emphasis on "all-
out" food production, for less grain
for livestock and more for humans
less for liquor and more for the
worlds hungry millions, for a cam
paign to eliminate the garbage pail
as their competitor"
But. meanwhile, delegates them
selves acknowledged privately a
considerable measure of confusion
as TO what should be done-and how
to meet the problems ahead.
These were the chief problems
under consideration:
/. Whether UNRRA itself should
be extended-as advocated by China
with support from several other
countries-or its functions turned
over to the new United Nations Or
ganization.

In letter to Chairman May, Al
fred Mccormack, head of the unit
demanded "the ordinary right o1
any American to be informed Of the
charges against him and to present
the relevant evidence"
Mr.. Mccormack sent copies Of his
letter to other committee members
who made it public.
In 1t he challenged the commit
tees claim that ahen-minded per-
sons are on the intelligence units
payrolls and offered to produce War
Department personnel who would
testify:
That what you have been hearing
about my activities Is a tissue OF
lies. created by irresponsible and
evil men, with evil purposes"
Mr.. Mccormack is a former Army
intelligence officer.
While the Military Affairs Com
mittee has made no formal report
mentioning him, members said
privately that strong representa-
tions" had been made to the State
Department against the employment
Of Mr.. Mccormack and others who
went with him from the War De-
partment.
Mr.. Mccormack wrote Chairman
May that committee statements
charged him, without naming him,
with having strong pro-Soviet lean
ings," and had blanketed under that
charge the officers he brought with
him from the War Department.
In doing so, he added, the COM
mittee "is not only doing a great
injustice to them and to me, but
it is making more difficult the all
ready difficult job Of getting trained
and able intelligence officers to con-
tinue in the Government service at
this critical period"

PLANE CRASH SOUTH
Of LAUREL INJURIES.
POWELL PHYSICIAN.
Investigators Find Gas Tanks
Empty-Struck In Field On
Hugh Dickson Ranch

DIR. H. E. Coulston of Powell,
Wyo., miraculously escaped death
Tuesday morning when his plane, a
two-passenger PT-19, crashed in a
field on the Hugh Dickson ranch
13 miles south of Laurel. Dazed
and injured, he was found three
quarters of an hour later when
George Mikesell, who operates the
Dickson property, returned to the
ranch.
The doctor was brought here by
Mikesell to the office of DR.. T..
R. wye for first aid and later was
taken to a hospital in Billings. He
was said to have suffered multiple
facial decorations and a fractured
jaw. His condition was not consid-
cred critical.
At one time before locating in
Powell, DR.. Coulston was associated
here with DR.. wye.
An investigation of the crash
was made by Highway Patrolman
Harry Burnham of Billings and AL
bert Nicholson of Columbus and De-
putty Sheriff Joe Nicholas of Laur-
ell, who was accompanied by Clay
Greening of Laurel. They found
the gas tanks of the plane empty.
Greening said that the angle at
which the plane struck the ground
probably accounted for DR.. Coulston
not being killed. The plane was
badly wrecked.
