conserve on all foods and eliminate
waste, the nation can meet our pres
ent food commitments and still pro-
vide 10 per cent more food at home
than was available in 1945.
But that means another record
production of food stuffs by the
farmers of the nation, record
that must be achieved in spite of
further shortages in labor and farm
machinery and another season of
fertility depletion of the soil. But
it is an emergency an emer-
gency which not only challenges the
'know-how' of the American farm
er, but every humanitarian instinct
of the American people.
Feed on Scraps.
Picture if you can children with
big CLASSY eyes, thin shouldered and
old-looking, spindle-legged, with
swollen stomachs, paving through
a dump heap searching for edible
scraps of swill, pieces of weeks-old
bread. They fall upon priced NOR
sci and wolf it down !. their meal
is over.
Such a scene is so commonplace
in many sections of Europe, India
and China that it occasions no shock
or even surprise to people in these
areas.
And their plight is rapidly becOm-
ing worse. Thousands Of acres Of
food-producing lands have been dew
astated with rockets, bombs and
tank battles and must yet be nour-
ished back into productivity. To
make the job of food production even
worse, severe drouths in 1945 played
havoc with the crops i'm some ma
tions normally self-sufficient and
food exporting. Other countries
underestimate their needs or over
estimated their ability to meet
them.
At best, millions of children in Eu-
rope are existing on less than 1000
calories daily. In India and China,
the lucky ones get something like
1900 calories daily, while here in
America our children are consum-
ing at rate of 3,400 calories each
day.
The agriculture secretary has
named state directors of the produc-
tion and marketing administration
and chairmen of the county agricul-
tural conservation committees as
state and county emergency food
program managers. They win enlist
the aid and cooperation of state
and county USDA councils. They
will set specific local food conserva-
ton goals, work out locally adapted
conservation measures, and mar
shal the forces Of citizens organiza-
tions and food trades that win help
carry out the program on a volun-
tary basis.

Brazilians With Multiple

Owing to the few family names
Of Portuguese origin, most Brazil
ians use from two to four names,
taking them from both their
mother and father and arranging
them in a new order, says Col
1ier's. But it is their uncommon
given name which distinguishes
them from others and by which
they are best known.
Consequently, Brazilians are list

MANY ITEMS STILL ON
HARD TO GET LIST

Producers themselves tell me
the situation is bad. Ford pub
licly closed his plant for week
the very day the President
spoke, because he could not
keep enough steel on hand to
warrant continuous operations.
Every producer has that same
trouble i'm one way or another.
Manufacturers cannot get little
things. An air conditioning
maker finds his particular kind
Of steel for certain parts diff
cult to obtain because the steel
companies will not mahufac cture
much of it, saying they lose SIS
a ton ON il because Of the OPA
ceiling. The steel companies are
producing other more profitable
lines. Then the air conditioning
man finds for a time he cannot
get motors, finds a shortage of
bearings due to strikes, cannot
get production OF a special cop
per bolt which is essential. His
production line operates off
again, ON again, off again.
AS far as "civilian services" are
concerned, there are not any re-
stored around here. Cleaners re-
quire three to six weeks to clean
a suit, shirtmakers and many other
lines inform their customers fiat
ly: "We are not taking any more
orders" They will not even con-
slider delivery months hence. Parts
for auto repairs are unavailable
throughout the United States in
some vital cases. A tailor took an
order for a suit the first of last
November and gave the first fitting
at the end of March - five months
later. He will not promise the suit
by summer. Some outftters are al
ready stopping orders for summer
suits - imagine it, next summers
suits. Meat supplies in Washington
are getting bad again, only inferior
grades of a few lines having been
available the past few weeks.
There are no autos, coal, refrig-
orators, nylons and only few ra-
dios. A considerable (say 10 to Is
per cent? improvement in sales
stocks can be noted in many lines,
and bare beginning toward res
toration is noticeable. The expert
ence of the average citizen in these
parts will strictly deny, however,
any claim that production has been
restored in "civilian services"
Now there has been a great
acceleration in dollar volume Of
production in such lines as liquor
(but not good liquOr), depart
ment store sales and some par
ticular food products, and
these no doubt caused MIR. Sny-
der's figures to swell to the con-
clusiOns he induced the Presi-
dent to make from them.
But If you figure a IS to so per
cent increase in such items Il have
noticed in my purchases price in
creases as high as 400 per cent)
even the visible results of great
er production in restricted lines do
not loom formidably when COM
pared with the job of sizing the pro-
duction bottleneck up to demand.
AS measured with demand, we can
not yet begin to speak of "produc.

Congressional Pension Law
May Be Voted This Year
Special to Central Press

Speclai TO Central Press
ENTHUSIASTICALLY groups
within the Republican party are
talking about Senator Vanden-
berg of Michigan as a poten-
tial secretary of state if the COP
succeeds in winning the presiden-
" in l948.
However, they do not discount
the fact that the 81 -year-old SEN
Tor senator may actively seek the
presidential nomination. despite
his age.
Backefs of Vandenberg for the
cabinet post are confident that
he would be acceptable to any
successful Republican presiden-
tial candidate.
They point out that the senator
has emerged from the ranks of
what was described a few short
years ago as 'isolationism' to the
position of party leadership in for
eign affairs.
Vandenberg's role as COP adj
wiser to Secretary of State Byrnes
at the recent Paris conference,
and his previous roles in framing
the United Nations charter and
participating in other Internal
ional events has enhanced his
stature in the party.
His supporters emphasize that
the midwesterner has steadfastly
SHE'D away from any policy of
appeasement toward Russia ar
ound world conference tables. In
this he has gone down the line
with By1nes and President Tru-
mans administration.
Congress may gather up its
frayed nerves and, dismissing its
fear of a voter reaction at the
polls, enact a congressional pen
sion law before it adiourns this
summer.
More and more members of the
House and Senate have come
around to the view that if 1--WE act
together we won't get hurt" The

fast.
But events of government in
and outside Congress-including
President Truman-have recog-
nized that a senator and repre-
sentative is u%nderpaid, over
worked and without much regard
or security for his old age. Ca
reer men in Congress, it is stress
ed, should have a retirement ben
fit system-if nothing else.
So there is a definite move on
-rope members are ee-v;nced u
will be carried TO fruition-for
enactment OF a pension law.
Old-time Labor Experts, both
in and out of government, are
deeply disturbed by the steady
loss in prestige of the department
of labor. Some Of them have adj
vised Secretary Of Labor Schw-el-
ienbAch that the situation calls
for his immediate and full at
tention just as soon as the current
rail and coal disputes are cleared
up.
The departments loss of stand
ing is caused in large measure by
the administrations policy of
handling major industrial disputes
at the White House level. I'm
ions have grown accustomed to
by-passing the labor department.
The government. confronted
with food headaches from short
age Of grains for export to the
famine areas abroad. will have
another headache soon-the one
involving a surplus food item.
Agriculture department Off
Gals are worrying over the an
ticipated 20 million bushel early
potato crop which normally is
from so TO SIS million bushels.
Chances are the government,
through the Famine Emergency
committee created by President
Truman, will start a nationwide
propaganda campaign urging peo-
Pile to use potatoes as a substi-
tute for wheat products, partie-
ularly bread.
Labor Men Sidefrack
This would help the govern
ment meet its commitment of cere-
al grains to Europe and Asia and,
of course. help use up the bum
per crop Of potatoes.
Meanwhile, there1l be less pork
in the months ahead. The fall pig
slaughter is set for 81. 500, 900 head
Ia 10 percent reduction below
the 1894 average. This reflects
the governments move TO shorten
feed supplies to livestock pro-
ducers in order to conserve grain
fer famine countries.
