Food
Rotioned Breodbosket

The United States, arsenal of the
democracies in time of war, frightened
its belt this week to become the bread
basket for war-ravaged Europe until
its Allies and the liberated countries
could get back on their feet.
President Truman outlined nine
point national food relief program,
including larger exports of wheat,
fats, oils and dairy products.
For Americans it will mean that
customary white bread will be re-
placed by Cream colored" loaf. 1t
will mean also less grain for whisky
and beer, less grain for fattening cat
tie. Meat rationing may return.
In Europe, suffering and misery en-
velop victor and vanquished alike in
this first postwar winter. Over most
of the continent there is illness, the
death rate has climbed slightly but
not yet in any of the countries have
last falls dire predictions of epidemic,
fostered by cold and starvation, fully
materialized. But winter is not yet
over and the threat still is there.
During the next few months, 140,-
100000 people will have to live on an
average daily diet of 1000 Galleries,
according to the Emergency Economic
Committee for Europe, and 100000
900 will receive an average of $500
calories or less per day.
Health Minimum Is 1000
About 1000 calories a day is con-
sidered the health minimum and 1900
Galleries the famine level. The Ameri-
can average is $500.
Countries which appear most miser-
able are Austria, where the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-
ministration will not begin function
ing until March /; Hungary, Bulgaria
and Finland.
Countries faring best include the
wartime neutrals-Spain, Portugal
and Sweden-and Belgium, Denmark
and Britain, although Britain's auster-
ity rationing (2,500 ca1ories) is lower
than at any time during the war.
In Poland there was no widespread
malnutrition, said the UNRRA, but
urgent need for housing, clothing and
fuel. Poles were. getting rationed
diet of 1900 calories a day supple
mented by free (not black mar
ket. Shipments of livestock and seed
grains promise better conditions after
the next harvest.

War Trials
Honorable Japanese Exit

1t. Gen. Masaharu Homma bowed
low before the fve-man military COM
mission in Manila. He was extremely
thankful, the general said, for the
courteous way he had been treated.
Then stolidly, he stepped back to hear
his sentence. It came as no surprise.
Bald, bespectacled Maj. Gen. Lee
Donov van, tribunal president, an
nounced that upon secret written
ballot with two-thirds or more of the
members concurring, the commission
sentences you to be shot to death with
musketry"
Homma was convicted of war atroc-
tiles, including the Infamous Bataan
Death March, which cost the lives
of $1,000 American and Filipino pris-
oners of war. He was charged also
with bombing of Manila after Gen.
Macarthur had declared it an open
city.
Homma's trial followed that of 1t.
Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, awaiting
disgraceful military death upon
the gallows. 1t was Yamashita who
succeeded Homma as Japanese Philip
pines commander.
Homma's death sentence, in con-
trast, presumably was to be that of a
military man. The verdict decreed
execution by gunfire, rather than
hanging.
YvgosIov Toll
Meanwhile at Nuremberg, Russian
prosecutors charged that Axis inva-
sion and occupation of Yugoslavia
brought death to 1850, 00O-more than
III percent of the subject population.
Russia submitted an order by Adolf
Hitler, written 10 days before the
1941 attack, which specified that "Bel-
grade must be annihilated by continu-
GUS day and night air attacks"

In Philadelphia, two-day strike
by bus, trolley and subway workers
stranded more than 100000 riders.
The only travel was by shank's mare

Meanwhile the Presidents economic
high command sweated away on
final draft of a new wage-price for
mula which the government hoped
would restore peace in steel, automo-
bile, electric appliance and other
strike-torn industries.
Most of Americas major strikes
were called in support of wage in
crease demands. They include:
STEEL-75O,OO0 men out, average

UNO: A Site for Sore Eyes

THE United Nations Organiza-

Ii Influenced by a storm of pro-
test from Stanford Greenwich
Westchester residents, the UNO
HEADQUARTERS committee modified the
original mile proposal to
include any site (larger or smaller)

my and Fairfield (Conn).
A planning commission was ordered

The necessity of displacing many resi-
dents, The commission was instructed
to draw up plans for sites of 2, 5, 10,
% and 40 square miles, with estimates
on the cost of each tract.
Heated Debate
But even in committee there was
lengthy and heated debates on this
compromise. 1t was carried finally by
vote of 22-17. There was posi-
biHty that the fight might be carried
to the floor of the 'ssembly since
two-thirds vote of the full body is re-
CURED for final approval.
Another round in the site battle oc-
cured when Australia renewed its
demand to put the UNO headquarters
in San Francisco, pending the estab-
lishment of a permanent home.
Delegates from Iraq and Saudi
Arabia attacked selection of New
York City as an interim site. The
Arabian delegate indirectly raised the
Jewsh-Arab issue in regard to New
York by saying: "The area recon-
mended has political groups and po-
itical influence. Let us go where we
will find impartiality in political and
social atmosphere"
Pedro Lopez, Philippines delegate,
feared that Greenwich opposition
would mean diplomats would be
greeted with pickets and signs read
ing 1--WE don't want the UNO." Resi-
dents of that area had the right to
object, he pointed out, adding: "What-
ever their reason, self-respect de-
mands We 60 somewhere else"
