President Pays Call
At Pressroom to
Console Reporters

President Truman dropped by
the White House pressroom
yesterday afternoon to sym
pathize' with reporters, dis
appointed over the cancellation
of the Florida trip.
He was especially solicitous

His visit perhaps was the
first by a President since the

U. S., Britain, France,

Death Widespread
By the Associated Press.

~ VAC AoooSioecu EIeSSs
LONDON, Feb. 9.-The United
States, Britain, France and
China appealed today to all ma
tionS to "take immediate and
drastic action" to conserve wheat
and rice supplies, declaring that
otherwise there may be wide
spread suffering and death" and
a slowing down of reconstruc-
ton.
The appeal took the form of a
resolution to be submitted to the
United Nations Assembly's Steering
Committee. The committee is ex-
pected to examine it in time for
submission to the Assembly Tues
day.
simultaneously, the secretariat
made public message from Herbert
H. Lehman, director general of
UNRRA, to the United Nations
Secretary General Trygve Lie, point
ing out the serious food situation
throughout the world.
Rice Famlne threatened.
The resolution presented by the
four nations said war damage and
falling off of agricultural production
as result of the war "have caused
a serious fall in world production of
wheat" and that normally i'm
portant producing countries had
small chops because of drought.
Rice supplies are so short as to
threaten famine in certain areas, -
it said, and grain production in the
coming season may be insufficient
to prevent continuing hunger"
For these reasons" the resolu-
tion declared, "the world is faced
with conditions which may cause
widespread suffering and death and
consequently set back all plans for
reconstruction"
The resolution:
Il. Urges all governments and
peoples to take immediate and
drastic action, both directly and
through the international organiza-
tions concerned, to conserve sup
plies by securing adequate collec-
ton OF crops from the producer, by
savings food and avoiding waste and
to ensure the maximum production
of grain in the coming season.
Full Information Asked.
"2. Notes that several of the
United Nations have recently an
nounced measures to reserve grain
supplies for direct human consump-
ton and to secure increased pro-
duction. .,.,sss
"3. Urges all governments to pub
lish as full information as possible
regarding their own supplies and re-
quirements of cereals and the steps
they have taken or are prepared to
take to achieve the objectives ex-
pressed in Paragraph /.
~. Requests the international Or
ganizations concerned with food and
agriculture to publish full informa-
tion in their possession on the world
food position and the future outlook
and to intensity efforts to obtain as
full information as possible on this
subject, in order to assist govern
ments in determining their short
term and long-term agricultural
policy"

Probers Study Leak

Secret Session Studies
Permission for Kroner
To Tell Inside Story
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.


The Pearl Harbor Committee
went into executive session to-
day to decide whether Capt
Alwyn D. Kramer, naval intelli-
gence officer, would be allowed
to tell the inside story" of why
editorial employees of the Chi
cago Tribune were not prose
cuted for alleged violation of the
Espionage Act after the Battle
of Midway.
1t. Comdr. John Beacher, Navy
liaison officer with the committee
had told Seth w. Richardson, com.
mittee counsel, matters of nationa,
security were involved and the in.
formation should be kept out of the
record.
Representative Keefe, Republican
of Wisconsin had wanted to read {
reply which Capt. Kramer wrot,
while he was serving on Admira
William F. Halsey's staff in thu
South Pacific in 1914 to this ques.
ton which Capt. L. F. Stafford, ar

A grand jury investigation wa.

present at the battle of Midway
No indictments were returned. Ths
story was interpreted at the Navy
Department, it was explained, a!

Memorandum Released.
The committee, after ponderins
overnight a secret memorandum
which Capt. Kramer prepared in thu
South Pacific in 1941, decided ther,
was no national security involved
In it which had not already come
out at the congressional hearings
So Mr.. Keefe began reading por.
tions of the long paper into tn,
record as he questioned Capt
Kramer.
Capt. Kramer directed the transla
ton and delivery of intercepted
Japanese messages at the Office
of Naval communications here il
1941. He wrote the memorandum
as a record of what he observed il
Washington the week before Pear
Harbor. 1t was in response to F..
letter from Rear Admiral Husband
E. Kimmel, retired Pacific Flee
commander, to Admiral Halsey, OF
whose staff Capt. Kramer was serv,
ing at the time in New Caledonia.
Kept as Record.
The paper also was a reply to s
series of questions which Capt
Stafford had asked in a letter tt
Capt. Kramer. Nothing ever wa.
done with the memorandum, bu1
he kept it as record in the event
of his death, Capt. Kramer told the
committee.
Taking up the memorandum, Mr.
Keefe asked about a question put

No man INSTRUCTED any white
mans way to the ballot box, in
terferred whit his freedom of
speech, or boycotted him because
of his race or political belief.
A thorough study of legislation
enacted by Negroes and the
changes made since the overthrow
of Negro rule shows how small
amount of change in law and
Government has been made. The
changes brought about sharp and
hurtful economies. Property was
returned to power, and there was
a change in officials, but the main
body OF Negro legislation still
stands. The new Negro democracy
brought forth new leaders and
definitely overthrow the oil
Southern aristocracy.
The White South was faced
with this question: Are we will
ing to allow the Negro to advance
as free worker, share cropper
or small capitalist, with only such
handicaps as naturally impede the
poor and ignorant, or is it neces-
sary to erect further artificial bar
riers to restrain the advance of
the Negro? The answer was clear
Tot, L no NJ Of
the Negro had been so rapid that
the whites feared it, and every
effort was made to keep the Ne
gro in his place as a servile cast.
The South strove to make the
Acknowledgement of Negroes eff
fective and final. Disfranchise-
ment up to this time was illegal
and based upon intimidation. The
new laws passed between 1890
and 1910 sought on their face to
base the right to vote on prop
Negroes and admit all Whites. In
fact the laws could be admins
tered so as to exclude nearly all
Negroes. To this was added SER
les of laws designed to publicly
humiliate and stigmatize Negro
blood: as, for example, separate
railway and street cars, separation
in schools and churches, and the
denial of redress to seduced Col
ored women, which had long been
the custom in the South. All these
enactments meant not simply sep
aration but subordination, caste,
humiliation and fragrant injustice.
To all this was added a series
of labor laws making the eXploita-
ton of Negro labor more secure.
This was accomplished by an APP
peal to race prejudice No method |
