BURDEN ON U. S. AND CANADA

THE hunger for food to keep body
and soul together is abroad in the world"
declares Chester C. Davis, chairman of
President Truman's Famine Emergency
Committee, in an appeal to the American
people to cut down on the use of bread,
flour and pastry SO that 225,000.000 BUSH
els of wheat might be exported by July LIST.
Mr.. Davis reports that the Government
is taking steps on the use of wheat for al
cohol, for flour and for feeding animals,
but that, after full allowance for these
steps. we will be many millions of bushels
short of the goal.
Consequently, Mr.. Davis asks the PEG
pie of this country to continue the Victory
Garden program so as to provide yege-
tables, particularly potatoes, as substi-
tutes for bread. He suggests that potatoes
replace second slice of bread and insists
that the saving of many lives comes right
down to our own homes and our own
tables"
Pointing to the situation in some
countries of Europe, where the average
amount of food available per person is
close to 1000 calories day, Mr.. Davis
says that this means total daily ration
of all kinds of food equal to ten bare slices
sof bread" He says that the burden of meet
ing the need for food falls largely on the
United States and Canada, because nearly
every great surplus-p producing region has
been hit by drought, which cut production
sharply, while in the United States and
Canada the, output is ranging far above
pre-war yearsy
ii ,tiBmay not be pleasant to be constant
ly reminded of starving men, women and
children in Europe and in Asia, but how
else can We realize the terrible tragedy
that is being enacted as thousands of hui
man beings, without proper food, gradual
ly weaken and inevitably succumb to star
walton or disease?

WOULDN'T HAVE LASTED S DAYS.

General Jonathan M. Wainwright
raises his voice to oppose the furry of
complaints against the critics of the
Army's caste system"
The man who stayed with his men at
Corregidor and suffered many months
Imprisonment at the hands of the Japan
ese, says that there has to be a gap be-
tween officers and enlisted men if there
is to be discipline"
The General expresses the opinion
that the Army should be reasonably
democratic but he points out that the ac-
ton of some complaining GIs has been
close to mutinous conduct and says that
the critics have not been typical Amer
lean soldiers"
lq General Wainwright, after observing
that's there must be gap between officers
and enlisted men in the interest of disci-
pline, says that same gap existed at Cor,
regidor and, without it, "Corregidor
wouldn't have lasted five days"

ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF

Rudolf Hoess, commander of Nazi
slave camp, was recently captured by the
British and, in written confession, admits
that he arranged for the gassing of 2,000,-
600 persons between July, 1941 and the
end of 1943.
The Nazi fugitive said that the execu-
tons were ordered by Himmler, that the
victims were gassed and cremated and that
their remains were thrown into the Vistula
River.
The horror of such Naz brutality is
almost beyond the comprehension of nor
NAL minds. The stark details almost sur
pass credulity and even with the facts
established by confession, one must make
an effort to realize that the monsters
debating German policies could plan and
carry out such terrible scheme.

S. A. Jones, local manager OF the
Western Union Telegraph company, stated
that his company has paid retroactive
wages to twelve local employees amount
ing to $5,O16.38, and to $4,000 other en-
ployees over the country the approximate
sum of S31, 100000. Apparently that is one
reason why the Western Union omitted its
dividend payments for the first quarter

the corner into his living room.
The utter confusion that greeted
his startled eyes made him throw
caution TO the winds. He stormed
into the apartment fighting mad.
There was no one in sight to be
mad at. Slowly he regained his
even keel and surveyed the dam
age.
Someone had done a thorough
ii messy Job of searching the
apartment. He stuck his head into
the bedroom. 1t was worse there.
The bed was mass of feathers
and stuffing from the mattress.
A more complete Job OF destruc-
tion. could not be imagined. He
went back into the living room
and sat down on q plain wooden
chair, the only usabIe piece of
furniture IN the room.
He picked up a picture and
looked at it mocdily. It offered
a clue. a negative one, but clue.
Whoever had wrecked his rooms
had not been searching for the
thousand dollar bill, else they
would have knocked the frame
from the picture and looked be-
hind the picture itself. The object
OF the search had been something
bulkier than a thousand-d dollar
bill. And. he added, bulkier than
the plans for an air rifle.
His reverie was interrupted by
the beginnings of a groan from
the bedroom. He was on his feet
in an instant and in the bedroom.
His ewes could find no sign of
life. Then the groan came again.
His ears traced it to the far side
of the room beyond the bed. He
dived around the bed and found
mound of covers draped over
PROSTATE figure. Quickly he drew
back the tangled sheets to un-
cover the body lying there. He
was not too SURPRISED TO find that
il was Hope. Their he reached
down and put his arms. under her
Shoulders and lifted her onto the
