 The new operations will be car ried out in the strategic military area where the American and Can adian armies cooperated this spring in testing cold weather tactics. The polar regions lie athwart the short est route between America and Flu rope.

Food Problem
 Truman Thee In Broadcast
President Making Brief Radio Speech Tomorrow Night

Washington, April 1S- (UP)-The combined food board representing Britain, Canada and the United States today was striving for a solu- tion to the momentous problem of how to divide its precious grain re- serves among the hungry peoples of the world
 U. S. Government officials were encouraged by Britain's offer to make 100000 tons of cereals avail able for world relief purposes if the United States and Canada would guarantee that they would be re- placed later.
 The British offer was made at four-hour meeting of the board late yesterday. shortly after President Trumans famine emergency com mittee had disclosed it had recom- mended a seyen-point program for channeling more American food overseas.
 Hoover On Air
 Mir. Truman himself announced that he would make a brief world wide radio on the food situation at 7:30 D. m. EST tomorrow. He said former president Herbert Hoover would speek from Europe on the same program.
 Secretary of Agriculture Clinton ?. Anderson said Mr. Hoover would be asked to return to this country as soon as he reaches Cairo on Saturday to paint the real famine picture. He then will resume his tour of world hunger areas.

Fire, Police Unions Demand Recognition Commissioners Announce Willingness To Meet Delegations as "Citizens"
 Not Bargain Units; Other Business
Waterbury's Police

waterbury's Police and Fire Unions, AFL, went unreconized by both the Fire and Police Commis- sioners following yesterdays meet- ing of the former Board in which 1t was voted to meet the Union delegation "as citizens. A similar vote was given last month by the Police Board.
 At the Police Board meeting, Thomas F. Brennan, who heads both unions, said failure of the city to recognize the police delegation will result in political pressure be- ing brought to bear. Mir. Bren- nan, president of the Central Labor Union, A.F.L,, in which both the Fire and Police Department per- sonnel holds membership, Is also @ Republican member of the Board of Aldermen.
 Following refusal of the Police Board to meet the delegates as other citizens, MT. Brennan refused to send representatives to the meet ing lon any basis other than as 6 bargaining unit" Reliable sources indicate a similar stand in the fire- mems case. The Union delegation was to have met with the Fire n5oard to discuss several matters per- taining to the Fire Department in- cluding Q discussion of wages and hours.
 Both Units We'll Organized
 Both unions were formed last summer, and according to MT. Brennan, the Fire Department is enrolled almost 100 per cent, while the Police Department Is 75 per cent strong.
 The Fire Board also voted for transfer of $705 for fire alarm box repair and installation. The Board of Finance will be asked to trans fer $500 for the installation of new alarm box in the Platts Mills area, 1t was revealed; the other $l05 will be used to repair Box 4l2 opposite 60 Meadow Street. The box was damaged in October when 1t was struck by q truck.
 Deputy Chief Francis T. Scully said installation of the new box in the Platts Mills section had nothing to do with residents there last month threatening to "secede" from the city because of alleged lack of city services. He said the box is being installed as c regular part of the rounds of the Fire De- partmeht work.
 The Board placed on file re- quest for q fire box in the vicinity of a new building to be erected by the Standard Paper Company at 500 Highland Avenue.
 Applications to the Call Force were received from the following: Wil-

 The Traffic committee also Tee ceived Q request from the North End Community club to have @ bus stop established on North Main Street.
 The Jewish Federated Appeal Of Waterbury lauded the police detail which accompanied Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt on her recent visit here. A letter from Manuel Lax, COG chairman of the group, referred to the police escort as courteous, smooth and efficient"
 The Board also announced May l as the first date of inspection for policemen desiring new uniforms or replaeements under the new plan in which the city will pay half the cost of the uniform and the police- man the other half.

N NeW Labor Statistic Head Seen
 Murray L.atimer
 Believed Truman'S
 Choice for Job

Washington, April l8 -.- tUP) .-- President Truman Is about ready to appoint new commissioner of la- Dor statistics in an effort to end a long controversy over the reliability or the governments cost -of living figures, t was learned today
 Murray Latlmer. former chairman Of the Railroad Retirement Board, was said to be Mir. Truman's choice for the job. The administration be- lieyes his appointment would satisfy organized labor without turning the office over Go labor union Statisti- cian.
 Unions have charged that figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor statistics did not reflect the full in- crease in the wartime cost of liv- ing. This, they said, took away some of their arguments for wage in- creaseS
 Endorsed by ALL.
 A source close to Secretary of Lac bor Lewis B. SchWellenbach said that Latimer, an old friend of MT. Truman was also favored by Sch- wellenbach, and had the endorse- ment of the American Federation of Labor, Congress of Industrial Or ganizatIons and Railroad Brother hoods.
 His appointment is an accepted thing" this source said.
 Administration officials feel that Latimer's long service as chairman of the railroad board would make him acceptable not only to labor but also to industry and government, which depend upon the impartiality of BIS figures for the determina- tion of their policies.
 Schwellenbach was said to feel that batimer would gain prompt Senate confirmation for the job va- cated by the resignation of Isador Lubin last January. A. Ford Hin- richs has been acting commissioner,
