BY EDWARD W. BEATTIE
 Essen, Germany, Sept. 19-(UP)- An overblown palace built by Alfred Krupp for entertainment of steel barons and royalty has become the headquarters for a fight to lift more coal, and with 1t to lift the pros- trate Ruhr out of stagnation.
 Here, the North German Coal Control, key economic component of the British Zone of occupation, tries to thread its way out of the maze of labor shortage, food scarcity, ruin and local apathy which blights all of Germany, but is at its worst in the Ruhr.
 To date no way has been found.
 Food Needed for Attraction
 The Ruhr Is maintaining a pre- carious daily hard coal production of 180000 tons. This production was 400, ,000 in 1888 under the Nazi forced shift system. A margin of safety might be established by a produc- ton of 250,000 tons daily, and per- haps start a slight upswing in the area which sets the tone for Ger man prosperity.
 But that probably would require at least 100000 more miners and without more food workers never will be attracted to the dismal blasted cities of the Ruhr
 We need more coal desperately to maintain required exports to oth- CT zones and abroad and to put the first sparks into a peaceful revival of the Ruhr," says British control officials.
 But to get more coal we need more food. If food is to be produced in Germany we need more fertilizer for which we must have more coal, they added.
 19 Percent of Mines Closed
 By all normal standards, good job has been done in the Runr When Germany collapsed cities were rubble-choked ruins. The mines had suffered so from bombardmen' that surface equipment of amos1 every pit had been affected and k percent of the mines representing | 10 percent of production were SC damaged that they are still closed
 Maintenance and replacement hae been so poor during the war tha even the Germans had used only 5t percent of prewar machinery ane this has left a legacy of constan breakdowns. There is still no re- serve of machinery or even thu simplest tools.
 Above all the population was hun gry, hopeless and shell-shocked.
 Considering all of the shortages desertion of labor recruited else where. absenteeism from sickness o lack of incentive which ran to 2; percent in August, the 1So,o0o-tor daily output figure is a great ac' complishment. | It represents .89 tons day fol each above or underground employ' in the hard coal industry. Thi! lags far behind the prewar 1.5 tons but is a great step forward iron

the .33 of the first months follow ing liberation.
 Incentives Sought
 The mines today work at an aver age of just over 100000 daily man. shifts against 292,000 in 1888. There simply isn't any more labor avail able. War casualties are only partial answer-and they were heavy in the Ruhr. Necessary labor could be attracted from elsewhere in the British zone, or outside, if the fam tastic housing problem could be met and enough food provided to afford incentive for work.
 Ruhr miners today live in old air raid bunkers, in shantieS and in patched-up houses among the ruins,
 visited one two-story frame house where II persons live in room about 12 feet by 12 feet. It was the only room they could salv- age in the entire building and its front wall is just uncaulked boards nailed across gaping hole where the house front used to be.
 They live on the basic ration oi 1.137 calories daily. Heavy workers get 2,386 and very heavy workers B. ATT calories. For those in cities over 10000 and where the possibility for scrounging a few supplements are less, there is an additional 200 ca lories daily-about one small sand- wich.
 How closely the output follows the food curve was made apparent te control authorities when the fat ra- tion was reduced last March. Ab- senteeism promptlyl jumped 3 per- cent and the weekly hard coal pro- duction dropped from 100000 tom in February to 887 900 tons in Apri almost 30 percent. Figures fol coke, soft coal and briquets have paralleled those of hardcoa throughout.

ways know where your child is

where 7 was. Well, don't you

where yo.:r s, ms and daughters

am trying to say is, l think
Worcester and It's people would
be a lot better If they formed

1t would be better for you and

have a "teen-age canteen" but
that lasts only a few months.
What we need is place where
