She ended by taking 900 am

500 enlisted men.
Certain that such a number
would be enough to provide q 50

-And Surplus Military Food

Speaking of congressional investigations there is an ether opportunity for swift and thorough action in the
 matter of Army food wastage disclosed in the report o War Secretary Pattersons nneman civilian inspection committee.
 The committees report shocking one, attracted con- siderable attention but little action General Eisenhower sent out an order decreeng courtmartia proceedings against any officer who permitted loss wastage of food through neglect and demanding reports of any violation of Army food regulations But beyond that there little Or no Army action So far Congress has likewise seemed indifferent.
 The big question is, how much surplus food does the Army have which could be spared immediately? The civil ian committees report told of overrequistonng and seeking of foods and of posts having supplies forced them which they did not need and could not handle.
 At this critical moment when every bite of surplus food sorey needed behooves Congress- which foos the Arys bs to make quick check with the countrys larg et single purchaser of food and determine if anything e spared-and then start it moving toward those who seem destined to be the victims of the victory which the Army helped 50 brilliantly to win

Rights and Duties

Harold Stassen said something in a speech the other day about the need in this country for an increased sense whether through profits (and) of increased sense of duty work to parallel the right to strike
 Probably that isn't the most popular tack to take in dis eussng presentday economies It's odfashoned tak ana would call it reactionary But it rather nice somebody bring up again the abutorgotten rela tionship of rights to duties.
 We hear great deal today about the rights of free speech free assembly and free enterprise the rights to work and bargain collectively and decent wage But long time since much has been said about the
 duty of doing what used to be called an honest days work for that decent wage of turning the best possible product for fair and decent profit At least it hasn't been manufacturers
 Maybe it is because times and the national economy have changed There approximately fewer sef-em- poyed persons than in grandfathers fathers day. Con sequent there less direct incentive and less opportunity to experience the joy of personal accomplishment n the course of earning the daily bread.
 The incentives and joys by absent today But there increasing number of workers swallowed up big corporations doing routine jobs of deadly sameness Grievances, demonstrations and strife offer the only touches of drama in life of occupationa drabness.
 Then, too, there are the workers unons which must produce results order to survive and grow And the unions have grown strong they emphasized growing list of workers rights-nost of them right and proper, to be sure-whe soft pedang the parallel dutes
 So hear of unions dscpning members who yielding to incentives work too fast produce too much and thereby set exhaustng example for their fellows We hear of requests for the for 40 hours work recently paid for 40 hours plus IA at extra We hear talk of 30hour weeks at 40-hour wages.
 And maybe that is all to the good. This country has long way from the 60-hour week, dngy workshops child labor and starvation and farther But progress is smoothest in friendly reasonable atmosphere And that when duties forgotten and rights exaggerated Instead there created atmosphere which fosters seshness, breeds dsunty and eventually stalls progress. MT. Stassen wise in asking that pay little attention in thinking to reasonable bal Rnce between effort and compensation.

children who, but for the grace of God. might be ours.
 The whole machinery of life is not only slowed down but stopped dead in many other parts of the world. Cities still in ruins, transportation strangled, production still only trickle. Hunger and hardship will leave it's mark on future genera tions.
 Here live normally, despite troubles. They look small when you look at others. Here we have plenty to eat
 Only conclusion be drawn from MT Hoovers report on the world food catastrophe,
 That is that this country, the most favoraby situated in the world, must peel off little of it's fat to help the rest of the world our neighbors We can give still more-of wheat and meat and fats and still do most adequately, if government leaders take the necessary additional steps beyond those already taken.
 In doing this-and should demand in every way we can that it be done-there is thing more and more people convinced is necessary. That is to resume rationng. that our help may be derly and practical and so that may protect selves from our own selfishness. In any reduction

 giant General Foods Corporation.
 "oh, don't think anyone is going to starve over here," replied Mfr. Hoover.
 Other members of the famine committee sat tried pin the ex-President down Hoover, however, old not yield. He felt that American manufacturers could take care of themselves.
 MT. Francis happens to be one of the biggest food manufacturers in the country He is execu- tive of Best Foods Walter Baker, Diamond Chrystal Salt, Calumet Baking Company Jell-O, Maxwell House Coffee, Postum, Minute Tapioca, La France Manufacturing Company. His company also has the distinction of having been investigated by the Agr culture Department for getting a corner on large part of the U s. rye market last year. Chief stock holder of his company Mrs Joseph F. Davies. Aunt of Barbara Hutton, serves more food at her swank par ties than almost any other Washington hostess.
 The American public has habit of seizing upon personalities connected with historic events and making them heroes. They are interviewed on the radio played up in the magazines their faces flashed every movie screen in the country. Overnight and out of the unknown, they become great men.
 Sometimes, of course it happens that the real heroes get no acclaim. This, however is inevitable and not particularly dangerous unless the synthetic hero attempts to stay on the scene and use the glamor of his overnight buildup to influence unduy the American public.
 Such an accidental hero was made when an historic bomb was dropped Hiroshima. Over night, the man who through pure luck was assigned to the construction of production facilities for the atomic bomb became hero. The scientists who spent years working out the secret of the atom, the who were spurned by the Army and Navy until they took their idea to Roosevelt, given publicity back seats, while hero, Gen. Leslie R. Groves, strutted across the stage.
 No one would begrudge General Groves his moment of swaggering splendor if he had taken his bow and passed on. However, he has remained to hog the stage; remained to pose great expert, whispering in Senators ears. trying to tell them what laws to pass, and now dominating Bernard Baruch'S study of atomic energy In the files of the War Production Board (file No 19O95) is small sample of the overrated eff ciency of Leslie R. Groves Then colonel, Groves was in charge of building the much-discussed Penta gon building, giant home of the War Department Near the site of the building the West Brothers Brick Company, then engaged in making brick con- yidered essential for plant construction However, the brick plant in the path of cloverleaf series of highways which Colonel Groves planned around his pet Pentagon building The brick plant did not interfere with the Pentagon building

outlast either steel or concrete structure.
 Connecticut has only two covered bridges, one in East Hampton and the other the Cornwall bridge. Only the latter is used for vehicular traf- fife. Both, however, are worth pre- serving as exhibits related to the life of an earlier day.
 Cornwall bridge was well built in the first place. To call it hand some structure is not an exagger- ation. We could have been Satis- fled had 1t been re-painted, red, although Cornwall itself did not wish that color. The silver gray, which the State Highway Depart ment proposes, will be in keeping with the age and character of the structure. It has been there so long that life in the area would seem different were it gone. The com munity doubtless is glad that 1t has been preserved and no doubt put in shape for many more years of serv- ice. All Connecticut may well be glad, too.

LaCsuardia then dashed off to meeting of the Combined Food Board at B. leaving the dstillers to stew in their own vapors. All the big boys were there and, while normally some of the competitors had to now. LaGuardia said he'd be back at for his answer.
 Now it happens that the distilled spirits industry has been over of its own barrels ever since the grain shortage developed, but hard Up in Congress, Jerry Voorhis of California and others have been calling for end to all dising until the food crisis is over. In spite of the fact that the government has cut the distillers down to three days operations
 month, people still have the idea that the dstillers using up lot of grain. Actually the distillers use wheat at all and only low-grade soft corn and other grains.
 But at the time there were charges floating around that the disters had six million bushels of bushels in the next two months. To find out about this, in mid-April the Department of Agriculture crashed through with another order that distillers could have only and ore-llalf days supply of grain on hand at one time.
 Still the distiers were on the spot. Here was this guy LaGuardia demanding grain. When he came back for his second session. the disttlers met him with proposition. that they give him the dollars with which to buy grain. LaGuardA made faces. He had all the dollars he needed. What he waaAeed wAA grain
 The dstillers finally had to meet his terms. They agreed to donate the 50 million pounds, explaining they'd go out and buy anything they couldn't supply from their own inventories
