Ministers of all faiths have been

Emergency Food Collection now un-
derway in thousands of communities
throughout the nation, it was an
nounced by Secretary of Commerce
Henry A. Wallace, national chairman
Of the campaign to relieve hunger
and starvation in famine-stricken
lands The collection of cash buy food
economically in large quantities and
of gifts of food canned in tin is on
behalf of UNRRA, of which F. H.
LaGuardia is Director General.
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish
leaders are giving their whole-heart-
ed support to the collection.
Mr.. Wallace has explained that
cash contributions are preferred Sc
that food may be bought in quantity
lots at a lower price, and also so as
to save sorting, packing and shipping
costs. Gifts of food canned in tin are
also sought, especially from contribu-
tors who have such food on hand.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and ex'

Truman's Elbow Room

Sometime ago the President of tie
United States asked Congress to en-.
large the White House. Congress and
the American public disagreed with
Mr. Truman. But, he pulled another
cropper and moved the State Depart
ment to another building so that he
could provide more space for his own
official family in the State Depart
ment building. Originally that men,
orable structure was occupied by and
called the State, War and Navy
building. Now it is to be an annex to
the Presidents Office. The War and
Navy withdrew from the building
long years ago. Now, our top-rankins
State Department will be housed un-
der another roof on Virginia Avenue.
The President is having his own
way. For a man who lived in a small
apartment little more than a year
ago, he is widening out with remark
able speed.
