D. {. Committee
On Food Calls
First Meeting
New Conservation
Group to Draft
Plans Tomorrow

The newly formed Washington
Committee for Food Conservation
will meet for the first time tomorrow
TO work out steps to bring home to
District residents the Importance of
conserving food through measures
suggested by the Presidents Famine
Emergency Committee.
Meanwhile, spokesman for the
Famine Committee admitted that
the city'S cooperation to date in
saving OF wheat products and edible
oils-major items needed for over
seas famine relief-was "spotty."
He said that from his own OBJ
servations, some eating places here
were observing conservation rules,
such as serving only one roll or one
slice of bread, but that others had
not even heard of the program.
Schedule Rally Tuesday.
"It takes time to get the points
over to the public" he declared.
In this connection, the United
Nations Forum is sponsoring rally
at pm. Tuesday at Constitution
Hall in cooperation with the Wash
ington committee. Prominent
speakers will tell of the need for
belt Tightening on the part of Amer
lean citizens. They will include
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson,
Herbert H. Lehman, former director
general of UNRRA, and George
Gallup, head of the American In
stitute of Public Opinion.
TomorroW's meeting of the Wash
ington committee will begin at II
am. in the boardroom of the Dis
trict Building. Commissioner John
Russell Young will preside, and AL
Stedman, assistant to Chester C..
Davis of the Famine Emergency
Committee, will outline the Gov
ernment's program.
Between As and so persons prom
inent in civic life here are expected
to attend Mr.. Young will name a
permanent chairman later.
5000 Posters Distributed.
The Washington Restaurant As
sociation today began distribution
of 5000 posters to be displayed in
restaurants here urging both oper-
ators and customers to cooperate
with the Famine Emergency Com
mittee. On the poster are two hands
holding up an empty bowl, symbol
izing the hungry people abroad.
Posters advertising esday
nights rally also are being displayed
in restaurants.
Robert j. Wilson, executive Sec
retary of the restaurant associa-
ton, commenting on reports that
compliance was spotty, pointed out
that restaurateurs had been subject
to criticism on suggestions for trim
ming menus even before OPA gave
authority to take conservation steps
without cutting prices.
Accordingly, operators moved
slowly in putting conservation meas
ures into effect, he said.
Sent Out Explanation.
Mr.. Wilson also explained that the
association sent out a bulletin to its
1000 members March % explaining
the steps suggested by the Famine
Committee for saving foods There
are about 1000 eating places in the
city, he said, but the l,100 who are
members of the association repre-
sent IS per cent of the business here.

foods will open May u in $4,000 par
ishes and will be known as food

attache Earle in Istanbul, who was
former U. s. minister to Sofia and
considered as confidential represen-
tative TO Roosevelt in order to
establish If, and under which con-
ditions, Germany could obtain
peace?"
There was no indication in Pap
ems statement whether Lersner ac-
tually put the inquiry to Earle, or
Of any answer received.
Papen claimed also that in 1912
he arranged for Lersner to visit the
Vatican and seek mediation efforts
by Cardinal Maglione, then Papal
Secretary Of State, and Bishop
Montini.
Regarded War Lost
Lersner also could testify, the
ambassador claimed, that Papen
submitted a memorandum to Hitler
in May, 1899. stating that any war
must be regarded as lost from the
outset because Turkey had Joined
the coalition Of Germany's poten-
tial enemies. making the British
position in the Middle East unas-
sailable.
Papen stated that he attempted
TO organize q right-wing coalition
to prevent Hitler from gaining OVER
whelming power. He said that the
order issued to him In 1888 to form
q government under Hitler was on
President Paul Won Hindenberg's
initiative.
Papen asked IL defense witnesses.
including Admiral Nicholas Horthy,
former regent Of Hungary, he asked

singing rebuke on american soil
and under American auspices Is
personifled by President Truman's
presence at the speeoh-making.
II don't see how we can inspire
Russian confidence and erase her
suspicion Of the sEnglish-Speaking
block on that basis" commented
one influential congressional leader.
Bluntness Understood
Speaking bluntly and firmly
and frankly TO Russia Is one thing
and something she can understand.
But, ganging up bn her is some-
thing else. I hope that 1t isn't
overdone."
Congressional leaders said they
would follow with increased inter-
est other speeches which Churchill
has scheduled during his visit to
the United States.
The British Conservative Party
leader Is scheduled 10 address the
Virginia State Legislature ct Rich
mond tomorrow morning. He makes
luncheon talk TO the overseas
writers IN Washington next Mon
day.
He has scheduled two speeches
in New York, March Is and March
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will
accompany him on the Virginia
tour. Churchill will return to WASH
lngton Saturday and leave for New
York Monday. He sails for England
March Il.
Although Congressional leaders
were worried about the effect Of
Churchill's speech on Russian lead
ers, they had no cause for alarm
about its effect on the Russian
population generally. Dispatches
from Moscow reported that the
Soviet Press didn't give q line to
the. Fulton, Mo-, address.
The first indication of possible
Soviet reaction to Churchill's adj
dress came from the National Sec
retariat Of the American Commun-
list Party in New York. It issued
a statement, published in the Daily
Worker, which accused Churchill
Of proposing IAN American British
war machine to dominate the
world"
A British source close to Chur-
chill claimed that Mr.. Truman, Sec
rotary Of state James F. Byrnes and
Admiral william d. Ieasy fully
agreed with Churchill's denuncia-
ton Of Communists as a fifth coll
umn In all countries except the
United States and the British COM
monwealth.
The same source reported that
Churchill had been advised not
to repeat his Missouri speech be-
fore the Virginia Legislature tomor-
row but to allow its effect TO "sim-
mer".

Policy Called Clear
They say that they must have
price relief for the past before they
VIII give additional increases, but
the new wage-price policy Is very
clear. The OPA has told industry
that industry must settle the wage
question before any adjustments in
