Three al Boiling Field
Injured by lightning

More showers were predicted for
today following the heavy rain yes
terday after noon and intermittent
showers through the night.

bring a decided drop in temperature

slight shock All three received
first aid from the Boiling Field
Station Hospital.
The storm was termed unusual"
by the Weather Bureau and men,
Der of the staff there said lit was
lucky it didn't form a tornado
because of its violent updrafts.
The storm damaged 10 to II offces
of temporary building of the De-
partment of Commerce at Four
teenth street and Constitution ave-
hue NV. when roofing was ripped
loose. The second floor was flooded

ing to the finance division were
forced to move for the day. Damage

FOOD BUDGET OF UNRRA

Canadian. These officials discuss
the request with their technicians.
After approval by the UNRRA au-
thorities, the request is sent to the
State Department for Endorsement
If approved, it is then sent to a
purchasing agency of the United
States Government to fill the requi-
sition. The Agriculture Department
makes the bulk of the purchases.
Food Problem Eased.
r. H. Allen, an American, special
assistant to Director Cairns, ex-
planned that because the relief ma
tions are now harvesting grain and
potatoes, the problem has been
eased since last spring. While the
harvest will take care of their needs
for the next few months, it will not
be sufficient to last through 1947,
he said.
BY supplying food UNRRA is
changing the eating habits of the
postwar world. For UNRRA is feed
ing about 100 10000 people in
Europe, largely in urban areas, as
we'll as large segment of the 400
600 900 people of China, even in the
rural sections, Mr.. Allen said.
Seventy per cent of UNRRA's food
program was completed by June 80
Most of the food comes from the
United States, one Of the few coun-
tries in the world having a surplus,
Mr.. Allen pointed out After
UNRRA ceases in January and the
job is turned over to the United
Nations for further action, it looks
as if the countries will have to do
their own buying in the worlds
he said. The question of
this program is a thorny
one. he declared, due to export and
import problems.
Drives Swelled Shipments.
To date, UNRRA has shipped
more than 100000 tons Of food
to all countries. OF this, 1900 tons,
about 10000 worth, were given
by private sources in the United
States as result of various drives
held here. Part of this privately
donated supply went to countries
not invaded in the war, such as
India. tttt- :ftF. Cr.s'Ttpt

Strike Notice Filed
AS Western Union S
Wage Talks Collapse

Wage negotiations of both the
AFL and CIO with Western Union
had collapsed today. and the AFL.
representing all company employees
except those in Metropolitan New
York, filed a 30-day strike notice.
Announcement that preliminary
strike action under the Smith-Con-
nally Act was being taken was made

representative Of $4,000 Western
Union workers.
The AFL is demanding, without
strings attached, the 6is-cents-ari-
nour increase recommended by

cent hourly raise was proposed for
messengers.
CLIO to File Notice.
CLOS American Communications
Association. representing 1000 West
ern Union workers In the New York
area, informed the Labor Depart
ment that its negotiations with the

broken down. Filing Of strike notice
was expected.
Western Union, meanwhile, dis
closed that the CIO union served
notice 1t intends to ask for another
30-cent hourly increase when It's
present contract expires October 73.
The AFL contract runs until next
April /.
Should the CLIO demand the ad-
ditional 30 cents an hour, Federal

In addition to the 1871 cent rec
ommendation Of the Fact Finding
Board-which the company agreed
conditionally to pay-another wage
boost had been directed by the War
Labor Board In the last hours of
its existence last December 20.
Not Clear-Cut Case.
The company said that increase
had cost $31 900 900 in retroactive
pay and s2s, 900 annually for
1916 and thereafter. This, however,
was not a clear-cut postwar wage
case, because it was rooted In . long

ing views has been deadlocked for
week.
Two other questions of major i'm
portance-that Of freedom of navi-
CATION on the Danube and that of
the granting to United Nations of
most favored nation" commercial
rights in ex-enemy states of Central
Europe-have not yet been touched
on by the conference. Here again,
however, there Is a fundamental
conflict of views within the Big
Four ranks. The Soviet resists both
proposals because they would sabo-
tage her plan Of uniting these
states in an economic block domi-
mated by Russia. The Western
powers support the proposals for
the same reason.
, Neither Side Yields.
The Big Four disagreement on
these questions developed during
last springs session of the Council
of Foreign Ministers, and neither
side has yet been willing to yield
an inch. Now the time is growing
short. Unless somebody gives up, or
unless the foreign ministers can
agree to accept such compromise
solutions as may be possible to de-
wise regarding these questions, 1t
will prove impossible to draw up
treaties which answer them.
With regard to settlement OF
these major questions, the present
mood here is extremely pessimistic
Any indication that the Big -Four
are moving closer to agreement on
any one of them would be the best
news that could possibly be expected
to come out of this afternoons
meeting.
Failing such a development, the
conference as a whole would well
come concerted guidance from the
Big -Four as to the procedure through
which it may be expected to do It'll

need. During the emergency, corn,
barley, rye and oats were shipped
with wheat from the United States
In many instances, Mr.. Allen
pointed out, mixtures of these grains
were made In milling and the re-
sultant -four was a novelty to many
peoples, accustomed for centuries
to eating particular kind of food.
The Italians, for instance. were
eating bread that looked like Scotch
oat cakes on some occasions, and
on others appeared like Johnny
cake of our Southern States.
The Poles, unaccustomed to corn,
ground it up and ate it, neverthe-
less. after demurring bit, Mr.. Allen
said.
Meats and Fats Short.
The needy countries are short on
meats, fats and oils and dairy prod
ucts. Mr.. Allen declared. Fats and
oils are being sent to all countries,
except Greece and China. Greece
has its olive oil, which supplies the
need and China has soybeans that
adds this item to the diet.
Linseed oil. procured in the Ar
gentine. Mr.. Allen said, was sent for
human consumption to the Ukraine
and Byelo-Russia, also known as
White Russia. 1t Is used here for
paints and varnishes and not usually
eaten, he explained.
Mr.. Allen said no grain was sent
to those two Soviet republics. mas
much as il was felt that this can
be obtained from other parts of
Russia. which has exported it to
France, Czechoslovakia and other
nations.
Surplus United States Army ra-
tions, purchased by UNRRA, have
been sent to all the needy nations
but proved no more popular there
than they did with the GIs.
Dairy products follow grain, fats
and oils in importance on the
UNRRA menu, Mr.. Allen said, for
they are particularly vital to women
and children. Nearly all UNRRA's
purchases of dairy products have
been ir the United States, Mr.. Allen
declared, and included evaporated
