Chill took three steps toward the sofa,
tossed the baby the rest of the way, and
started after the press. Down the sultry
Miami street flew Chill in his undershirt,

his old, uninhibited grin.
And something else is still there, too. Just
the other day an old friend, pilot, flew in
from the Orient and Chill wined and dined
him. But when Chill reached for the cheek,
the visiting pilots hand got there first He
wore a compassionate smile.
''Oh, no. Chill he said. Anyone who has

Later, in Shanghai and Hong Kong he told

him. well, Chill, what about this beautiful

Weeks later, someone showed Chill clip

Then the story began to spread and grow,
nurtured in the fertile bars of Shanghai and
Hong Kong Chill pounced on it whenever he
could. But it was like trying to put out a grass
fire with baseball bat.
In the next official version, printed in

was bouncing around impetuously on the

Time went by. Chilis experience as pilot
grew, and he was transferred to Pan Ameri-

One sultry night, Chilis wife left him in
charge of the baby. While he was in his
undershirt, wrestling with formula and the
baby shiccups, the phone rang Chill answered,
holding the baby under one arm.
1t was a reporter with the Florida version
of the Yangtze rescue. 1t seemed the real

of an international incident Chill, listening,

Is Pct. Cut in Wheat
Consumption Asked
By Hoover for Needy
Famine Boord Emburks
On Program to Feed
Wars Victims Abroad
By Joseph H. Baird

The administration had en-
barked today on a campaign tt
persuade the American people tt
cut their consumption of wheat
by one-quarter and to save every
possible ounce of fats to prevent
starvation among 300, 100000 Eu-
ropeans and 100000 Asiatics.
The estimate of those needing
immediate succor came late yester-
day from former President Herbert
Hoover, who, following a confer
ence at the White House, was
named honorary chairman of q
continuing committee to sponsor
the food-saving program. Chester
c. Davis of st. Louis, former War
Food Administrator, was appointed
chairman of the organizing COM
mittee.
Following the conference, .Secre-
tary of Agriculture Anderson issued
statement saying the committee
would aid him in formulating a
detailed program through which
the American public by voluntary
cooperation can meet this crisis
He said this system would result
in rushing food to Europe faster
than any system of government ra-
tioning orders" adding that speed
is vital"
Warm agreement with this idea
was expressed by Mr.. Hoover, who
administered food relief in Europe
after the last war, at a press con-
ference in his Mayflower Hotel
suite after the White House meet
ing. Crops will be harvested in the
Northern Hemisphere is July and
August, he explained, adding that
the crucial period for food Ship
ments to Europe was between now
and June.

Hoover said with emphasis, de

it was worth any sacrifice the
American people could make at
their tables if starvation in Europe
could be prevented and chaos could
be STAYED off. The outbreak of dis
