Japanese Beetle
Finds Poison Ivy
To Its Likinq

The Japanese beetle, it has beer
discovered, is not without one good
trait-it eats poison ivy.
This was revealed by county
agents in nearby areas who have
observed that the beetle, which has
voracious appetite for almost
everything green which grows, has
also acquired taste for the dreao
ivy weed.
But that doesn't mean that peo-
pie who are allergic to poison ivy
should assume the countryside
will be eaten bare of it. The agents
reported the weed is so abundant
that even the swaming beetles cant
make a dent in the supply.

Europe Food Picture
Darkens After Davis,
La Guardia Reports

prospects OF giving the starving
people of Europe enough food to
meet minimum needs grew darker
today in the wake of pessimistic re-
ports from UNRRA Director General
La Guardia and Chairman Chester
C. Davis of the Presidents Famine
Emergency Committee.
Mr.. La Guardia reported that even
though overall UNRRA shipments
to the liberated areas during March
reached an all-time high of 1896, 200
gross long tons, food shipments fell
far below minimum needs.
Mr.. Davis in speech in Louisville
last night described the Nations
wheat supply situation as grim"
when considered in the light of needs
of the hungry abroad.
Coal Swelled Shipments.
Although March shipments were
larger than in any month since
UNRRA began operations, Mr.. La
Guardia said, supplies other than
food-particularly coal-accounted
for great deal of the tonnage.
Up to January, food made up
more than 10 per cent Of UNRRA
cargoes. In February, only about
46 per cent of the shipments were
foodstuffs and this reduced ratio Of
food to other commodities was also
reflected in the March figures, Mr..
La Guardia reported.
"A ton of food is infinitesimal
when millions are to be fed," he
added. I'VE were about Al per cent
short on food shipments during
March. This shortage during the
months of January, February and
March has created a dangerously
critical food situation in all of the
countries dependent on UNRRA."
The supplies shipped in March
went to the following countries:
Albania. $500 gross long tons;
Austria, Il, 400; Byelorussian S. S. r.,
1890: Chine, $4,000; Czecho-
slovakia, 77,0O0; Dodecanese Is
lands, 1900; Finland, 1000; Greece,
$4,000; Italy, 856,700; Poland, 1872
200; Ukrainian S. S. r., 25,100;
Yugoslavia, 127,300; other UNRRA
operations, 1900.
Wheat Optimism Hit.
Mr.. Davis took issue with those
who gave a favorable Interpretation
to a Government crop report this
week. The report estimated that
stocks of wheat on farms April
totaled about 203. 600, 900 bushels and
predicted that this years winter
wheat crop will be a record one.
Because an even lower estimate
(of farm stocks) had been feared"
Mr.. Davis said, "this has been mis-
interpreted outside the Agriculture
Department as an optimistic report.
1.-THE fact is that the farm stocks
of wheat are shown to be $4,000 900
bushels below those of last year and
the lowest since 1941. All other
wheat stocks. including commercial
Evening star., 1946-04-13

stocks and those in interior mills,
elevators and warehouses, also are
the lowest in years"
Commenting on the coming wheat
crop, Mr.. Davis said that "if people
starve to death in this crisis, the
bumper crops that may come later
will do them no good" To meet the
shortcomings of the wheat supply,
he added, the only thing we can do
Is use less for livestock feed, use less
for food and lower our estimates of
the amount we shall need to carry
over into the next crop year."
U. s. Help to Enemy Countries.
Meanwhile, the United States was
reported today to be planning
monthly expenditures of almost $780,
100000 to help feed occupied Ger
many and Japan until mid-l947.
A total of 100000, 900 has been
earmarked for this purpose in the
War Departments budget estimates
for the IL months beginning July /,
according to an official who withheld
his name.

325,000 Japanese
Still in Indonesia,
Van Nook Declares
BY the Assoeioied Press

LONDON, April 13.-Dr. Hubertus
j. van Nook, acting governor gen.
eral Of the Netherlands Indies, said
today 325, 1000 Japanese were still in
Indonesia-290,000 under Allied con-
troll and the rest somewhere in the
interior Of Java"
Van Nook refused to predict when
the withdrawal of British troops
from Indonesia, announced last
night, would be completed. Dutch
forces are to replace the British
units in gradual transfers.
The announcement was made in
a British communique after a con-
ference attended by the British and
Dutch prime ministers and foreign
secretaries.
Main Need Is Textiles.
DR.. van Nook said negotiations
between the Dutch and Indonesians
Evening star., 1946-04-13


pendence probably would be resolved
by an equal partnership" and pro-
visions for the Indonesians to decide
later whether they wished to con-
tinue such partnership.
He said the main need in Indo-
nesia was not so much for food as
for textiles. Negotiations now are
underway with the United States,
Britain and Australia for between
500 ,000, 900 and $500, 600 900 in for
eign credits for reconstruction, he
said.
Van Nook will return to Holland
today to present the partnership
plan to his government and then 60
back to Indonesia "as soon as
possible"
The British communique said:
Views were exchanged and agre-
ment was reached as regards the
measures still necessary to liquidate
the war with Japan and the gradual
withdrawal of British troops and
their replacement by Dutch forces" 7"
British in Repeated Clashes.
British troops-sent into Indone-
sia by the Allied high command to
round up and disarm Japanese
troops after the surrender-have
clashed repeatedly with Indonesian
nationalist forces.
A British Foreign Office spokes-
man said British forces, mostly In
dian troops, have been withdrawn
as rapidly as Dutch troops became
available, but, he added, this pro-
cess has been SLOW"
Earlier, British spokesman said
the British wished to withdraw their
troops as rapidly as possible but that
the Dutch maintained the problem
was not one of garrisoning the
islands but Of completing the task
of disarming the japanese there.
