DO1ClNU TIE War Institute pulls
repeatedly found a majority of
people-as high as 70 per cent
in 1945-saying they would be
willing to see rationing continued
for a while after the war in order
to help feed people abroad.
To see whether this attitude
still exists now that the war has
been over for nearly nine months,
the poll asked:
"Would you be willing to
go back to food rationing in
order to send rood to people
in other %nations?"
The vote:
Yes 1000
NO
No opinion 4
The American people have a
different attitude toward food ra-
tioning than the people of Britain,
where the food shortage has been
felt acutely by the population for
six years or more.
Many of the basic foods are
still rationed in Britain, with the
exception of bread. In April the
British Institute of Public Opin-

Here's how some families are
solving their housing problem.
1t takes time, energy, common
sense - but it's worth it

WHEN our pioneer ancestors pushed west
w. into unsettled land they had no place
to live. This was an acute housing shortage,
but they didn't know that They just went
ahead and built homes
That pioneer blood still runs in American
veins. Take Paul Corey of Putnam County,
New York. That's his house and his family
you see on these pages. He built that house.
Built it himself, mean, with his own hands,
He drew plans, carried stone, put up forms,
poured concrete, hammered nails, sawed
boards, hung doors, bargained with dealers,
ran wires. put in plumbing, fitted windows,
oiled siding. Mrs. Corey held things in place,
nailed paneling and flooring, chiseled ceiling
beams to smoothness
s'Next time Ill do the work before the
beams in place. she says. cit was hard
on the neck
The Coreys' is an unusual feat, perhaps,
but surprising number of families are doing
the same thing in other parts of the country
1t is no solution to the national housing short
age, of course. For one thing, it takes lot of
time. But it has turned out to be a satisfying

personal solution for good many families

to ride super-hobby
In Miami Florida, young Navy lieuten-
ant named Alfred B. Parker is just finishing
the second story of his house. He did most of
the work mornings and evenings while on an
8to-5:3O Navy job. He had to. In mid-war
his landlord had said. Get OUT!
These were harsh words to couple with
baby on the way. but the Parkers pitched in.

Whels Family Pitchsd In
lHE nation was feeling no severe housing
pinch when the Donald Thompsons of Spring
Hill, West Virginia, decided shortly before the
war to acquire home the hard way. They
drafted their parents and their children and
made three generation project of it. Mr..
Thompson, trained as designer, worked out
novel assembly of plywood panels. toiled
evenings and week ends to assemble them in
the basement of his rented house.
When his two-week vacation came around,
the whole family gathered to erect the house.
There was still some finishing to be done when

FOOD PRIORITIES
BANNED BY BOARD
Far Eastern Commission
Tells U. S. Not To
Favor Japanese

WASHINGTON, April 25-R-
The Far Eastern commission,
Thursday, told the United States
not to give Japan any food priority
over Allied nations, except where
food imports "are essential imme-
diately for the safety of the occupa-
ton forces"
The commission asked this coum-
try to reconsider Immediately its
decision to send half a million tons
of grain to Tokyo by July l.
Up to Macarthur
However, its policy statement
left it up to Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur and the Four-Power Allied
Council for Japan to determine
what immediate food imports were
necessary to insure safety of the
Allied troops.
Maj. Ge~. Frank R. Mccoy,
commission chairman and United
States delegate, went along with
the ten other member nations in
approvin., the statement. He said
later, however, that he had made
it plain the United States already
was following the mo priority
policy on food shipments laid down
by the commission.
Reply Expected
Mccoy predicte the government
would make an early reply to the
commission. 1t was obvious he
had been told in advance by gov
eminent officials that the United
States believed the commisS- on S
request for review of the japanese
food program was reasonable and
should not meet American opposl-
ton.
