Allies 0uffifted Big Ships
In New York Durinq War

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The Allies
four largest troop transports-the
Queens Elizabeth and Mary, the
Aquitania and Mauretania-were
armed and converted in New York
Harbor, the Shipbuilding Division
of Bethlehem Steel Co. revealed to-
day.
The company disclosed for the
first time that it handled 37,77S ships
during the war years, totaling 302,-
224, 900 tons, more than five times
greater than the worlds prewar
merchant feet and more than 25
times larger than the American mer-
chant marine, in 1899. The ships
included almost every type of war
ship in addition to merchantmen.
The Queen ships alone were re-
ported to have moved 100000 Arneri-
can troops to Europe:
The Queen Mary was armed with
80 guns, IL rocket projectors, one
range finder, one central gun-con-
troll house, and degaussed to pro-
tect her from the mine menace, all
within three weeks. Passenger IA
cilities were changed to accommo-
date troops. Swimming pools, for
example were made into hospitals.

LONDON, Feb. 9-Europe's bat
tered peoples, struggling through
their first wint@ after the war, are
hungry but not starving, cold but
not freezing.
Over most of Europe there is
illness, the death rate has climbed
slightly, and there is great misery
and hunger. But in none of the
countries have last autumn's dire
predictions of great epidemic, fos-
tered by cold and starvation, fully
materialized.
"(This week the Emergency Eco
nomic Committee for Europe issued
a report saying that 140,000,000
persons will have to live on an
average total diet of 1000 calories
a day in the next few months and
that 100000,000 persons will be re-
ceiving an average of 1,500 calories
or less. The report said an average
of 1000 calories is regarded as a
minimum of safety"
Details in Each Country.
Country by country, this is the
story Of survival from the war
told by Associated Press CORE
spodents on the continent:
Austria-Anticipated discomfort
from cold has been alleviated great
ly by an unusually mild winter, but
the food situation, particularly in
Vienna and Russian n-occupied lower
Austria, is very near the famine
level" in the words of an UNRRA
official.
Vienna's 1875, 900 people rarely see
meat, and recent shortage OF
potatoes has driven most of the
population to a diet of bread and
peas-but enough food is available
to keep the average daily intake
slightly above the 1,600-calorie fam
inc level. In the western provinces
occupied by the British and Uuited
States troops, a move is under way
to transfer excess milk, butter and
fats to Vienna.
Bulgaria-Dobri Tarpeshev, head
of Bulgaria's economic council de-
scribes the nations food problem as
very serious" not only for the
people but also for the livestock,
which are dying of starvation as the
aftereffect of servere drought.
Officials Appeal.
Officials have appealed to the peo-
Pile by press and radio to expend
every possible effort toward scraping
up forage for the stock.
Finland-Bread is reasonably
plentiful, some potatoes are avail
able, and the price of eggs, which
are unrationed, has begun to drop
a little from its fantastic level. A
few fish also have begun to appear,
but otherwise the food situation is
exceedingly grim. The monthly
meat ration is under nine ounces,
Ifats-half margarine-are limited
to slightly over a pound month.
Hungary-Not quite as bad off
as it's neighbor Austria, but living
mainly on bread. Fats and meats
are almost unobtainable. AS in all
the Balkans, however, Hungary
should be able to hold out reason
ably well until newt summers crop
of vegetables and grain is harvested.
Germany-In British and Ameri-
can occupied areas, the Germans
are fed at a subsistence level, and
in Berlin enough food has been
stocked so that the city could live
a week or more even If all imports
were cut off.
Germans Gain Weight.
Germans in the American zone
have been gaining weight in the
past several months, 1t. Gen.

States, Britain, France and China
presented a resolution to the Steer
ing Committee of the UNO General
Assembly appealing to all nations
to take immediate and drastic
action" for conservation of wheat
and rice supplies to avoid wide
spread famine abroad. The subject
is expected to be considered at a
plenary session this week.
Only in the United States, Canada,
British Isles and the Middle East
was food production last year rela-
lively favorable, the Agriculture De-
partment reported. In continental
Europe, only Denmark and Sweden
at present have diets approximate
ing prewar levels.
Decline Forecast.
Greece, France, Czechoslovakia,
Switzerland, Norway, Netherlands,
Luxembourg and Belgium, while
ending 1945 with "tolerable" diet
of between 2,100 and $500 calories
day, faces a decline in this re-
stricted level during the next six
months, according to the report.
A third group, including Spain,
Italy, Germany, Austria, Finland
and parts of Poland, Hungary, Yugo-
slavia and Romania, are "sorely de-
flcient in regard to total energy
and almost every nutrient" The
report added that "the effects of
malnutrition, hunger and even
starvation in this group are ap-
parent and may become aggra-
waited before the new harvest is
in"
Production of nearly all staple
food products during the 1945-46
season was said to be below prewar
with wheat down 8 per cent; rye,
Is per cent; rice, is per cent, and
sugar, 18 per cent. Sharp reduc-
tions also have occurred in the
production of fats and oils, eggs,
meats and dairy products in many
of the principal producing nations.
Fish Catch Offers Hope.
The report noted that a pro-
spective increase in the fish catch
in the North Atlantic and waters
around certain European countries
offers the only possibility of in
crease in animal proteins during
1946."
Prospects for various foods on a
world basis were summed up as fol-
lows:
Wheat-Demand exceeds available
supply by about 200 ,000,0 900 bushels,
for the first time since the World
War.
Bread-Rationed in most coun-
tries, with reduced rations expected
in many.
Other grains-Supphes limited,
excepting oats, and these will be
diverted largely from feeding of
livestock to feeding humans shift
considered detrimental by some
economists to a long-range agricul-
ture program.
Fats and oils Supplies equal
to about two thirds of import needs.
Sugar-Consumption forecast as
the smallest in decade and with
recovery to a prewar rate mod
erately long process"
Meat-Except for Europe and Rus
sia, supplies in most of the world
compare favorably with prewar
Milk and dairy products-Little, If
any, improvement expected in sup
plies which are short of demand
Butter-Only about half as much
in world trade as before the war
Cheese-Supply will remain be-
low demand despite high produc-
ton anticipated.
Eggs-Supplies below demand and
production expected to decline
slightly this year as feed supplies
dwindle.

plying to charges of Senator Wherry
Republican, of Nebraska, Gen. Clay
said, "There is no starvation in
the United States zone of Germany
nor is it intended that there shall
be-"
(Senator Wherry said In a
Senate speech January 20 that
the administration was following
a deliberate starvation policy in
Germany.)
A British spokesman said the Ger
mans certainly were not eating as
well as the rest of Europe and said
up to 100000 tons of food will
have to be imported into the British
zone this year. but called reports
OF mass starvation an exaggeration
In the Russian zone, officials have
forbidden farmers to sell food direct
to consumers because some were
peddling badly needed seed potatoes
Poland-An UNRRA nutrition ex-
pert reported there were no serious
leases of malnutrition and said the
Poles were receiving rationec
diet of 1,500 calories a day, sup
plemented by free market-not
a black market. Shipments of live
stock and seed grains by UNRRA
promise a much better situation
after the next harvest. The coun-
try's most urgent needs are housing
clothing and fuel.
Romanian Problem Cited.
Romania-This country's biggest
problem is not food but the sharing
Of food. Allied authorities believe
there is plenty to last until the
next harvest, but many peasants
hoard supplies and barter them
away instead of selling them for
the country's deprecated currency
France-The food situation is
much worse than the French people
thought it would be this winter
but it still is above the starvation
level. Prices are high and still
climbing. President Felix Gouin's
government has pronounced stiff
measures against black markets,
driving some scarce foods out OF
the bootleg trade.
Black bread is rationed to less
than II ounces daily, meat to five
ounces week, though even that
amount sometimes is unavailable
Fats are limited to about a pound
and a quarter month, wine to q
quart a week, and cheese to q
mere weekly silver.
Potatoes can be found only in
restaurants, and fresh vegetables
and fruit are hard to find.
