 Even if accurate statistics had been kept on the number of deaths from hunger they couldn't be add ed up completely until the present generation passes on For years to come persons will be dying from the food they didn't get during the and the period just after it.
 Veterans organization officials worried about the generous appropriations which Congress dished out to the vets before going home to campaign They fear that people will get the idea that Congress may have given the vets too much-that taxpayers, among the ex-servicemen themselves, will start blaming about the ten-billon-dolar appropriations for veterans affairs in the next fiscal year.
 The worst thing that could happen now, say the vets national officials would be for anti-veteran sentiment to develop among the advocates of gov ernment economy

 LONDON-In spite of the continuing wartime re- srictons feed stuffs Brtains bloodstock industry is booming. Buyers from all over the world attend English sales, and remarkable prices are being paid for sheep and cattle well as for thoroughbred horses.
 Early this year. at the Perth sales, shorthorn bull sold to American buyer for the record price of 14,500 guineas. And more recently Hamp- shire Down bred by Sir William Rootes, British motor manufacturer, broke another record by fetching 670 pounds in Argentina. Altogether Brit aims exports of livestock for breeding purposes will be worth nearly 5,000,O00 pounds to her this year.
 Although sheep and cattle constitute import ant part of this trade, about 30 percent of the enue from exported livestock comes from the sale of thoroughbred horses Toroughbreds in every country in the world have been derived from British lines and there still is big demand for British stock France, Ireland, South Africa India Argentina, the United States, all import British thoroughbreds to strengthen their lines. AS result, France and America in particular breeding horses good or better than British horses, One of Englands most coveted racing prizes, the Ascot Gold Cup, worth 7200 pounds in prize money, was this year by the French horse Marsyas II, owned by Marcel BousSac.
 It's remarkable that racing, the most popular of all sports, should be the in which international competition has developed the least. Arguments as

Skyrocketing like Old Faithful geyser travel in the National Parks is well on it's way to surpas- sing the all-time record of 21,000,- GOO visitors established in 1941.
 No peter proof is needed of the increasing popularity of Americas s superb scenic wonderlands. No more acceptable tribute could be offered to the National Park Service on it's 30th anniversary.
 Few visitors to the National Parks ever forget the fun they had watching the antics of the bears and swapping yarns with the rang CTS. Few ever tire of talking about that time I climbed onto long cared mule-stuffed with hay to make him soft and rode down into the sultry depths of the Grand Canyon" Few ever cease to be grate- ful in the awesome hush of grove of giant redWoods.

HAY FEVER

Pity the poor sufferer from hay fever! From now until Fall is the worst time of year for those who are victims of this distressing af- fiction. Ragweed is still branded as enemy number one in causing hay fever Some communities have organized campaigns to dig up and burn the pesky ragweed. A concerted effort everywhere might produce magic results. To stamp out ragweed entirely would be do- ing a real service.

by the Navy of definite presidential
orders.
AS matters now stand the In
terror Department is responsible
for the civil administrations of
Hawaii, Alaska, the Philippines
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is
lands. 1t also has jurisdiction over
five uninhabited atolls in the far
Pacific, Canton. Enderbury, How
land, Baker and Jarvis, that were
so important as stepping stones on
the way to winning the war with
Japan. President Roosevelt was re-
sponsible for putting these depend
encies under the same administra-
tive roof. The Army controls the
Canal Zone. AS has been said. the
Navy exercises despotic sway over
Guam and Samoa and Is reaching
out for more.
Committee Appointed.
Last October, President Truman,
recognizing the need for uniform
United States policy for the admin
istration of these Pacific islands
coveted by the Navy, appointed the
Secretaries of State. War, Navy and
Interior as committee to recon-
mend a policy to him without delay
In his order the President clearly
said that he wanted a recommended
ton satisfactory to all four de-
partments without delay ="
To my knowledge this committee
has not held single meeting dur
ing the eight months of its exist
ence. The State Department has
failed to take the initiative in call
ing this committee together as was

and France. Only two nations have
held out. One is the Union of South
Africa and the other is the United
States. The Union of South Africa
is a long way off, and news Of the
designs Of that country
and of its evident intention to deny
to native Negroes the right to gov
ern themselves, or even to live in
happiness and security in their own
countries in Africa, are just begin
ming to become known to shocked
American readers. Not only is it
reprehensible that the Navy should
display such contemptuous dis
regard for the moral commitments
of this country made by its Chief
Executive, it is to be deplored that
in its recalcitrance it should find
itself in the same bed with the
Union of South Africa.
As to the intolerable naval rule

and supporters. This is the funda-
mental trouble with the court and

it's duty by reason of its ranking
position. Naturally neither the
War nor the Navy Department has
ventured to disturb sleeping dogs
and Interior is helpless in view of
the inertia and opposition that pre-
walls among the other three de-
partmentS.
If the United States has meant
what it has proclaimed in the in
terest of international peace, the
islands captured from the japanese
ought to be trusted to the United
Nations. Other countries that are
just as much concerned about mill
tary defense as is the United States
have made known their willingness
to carry out their moral obligations.

more to say later. At this time I
have only two observations to make ::
First, the Navy should be told in no
uncertain terms that its designs to
ensnare Hawaii as another fly in
it's web will not be tolerated; and
second, that the Commander in
Chief is still the Commander in
Chief whose orders ought to be as
implicitly obeyed as those Of any
captain or admiral in command of
ship.

When got in touch with my Pal, Arthur J. Warmsley, pho tographer for our weekly NEWS the CHRONICLE, we decided to pay a visit to Miss Lena Horne stopping all shows at the popular State Theatre, here i'll Hartford. Dashing thru the, stage door, we met Phil Moore, who plays piano, and directs the orchestra while Miss Horne sings. Phil is the con- poser of that popular song and record hit, "SHOO, SHOO BA- BY''. A swell guy to meet and and to know. He arranged for us to meet Miss Horne. After waiting twenty minutes for Miss Horne to finish her turn on the stage, she appeared at the entrance to her dressing room. She was all smiles and only too glad to pose for picture for YOUR weekly, and after looking 1t over, spoke
 very highly of the edition, seconded by her accompanist, Phil Moore. Miss Horne's next picture will be, "TILL THE CLOUDS ROLL BYE, to be re- leased in December. She is also recording an album of records for the Black & White Record Go. called Little Girl Blue, featuring one of the late Fats

Miss Horne was very charming in a blood red gown, draped over a very lovely and mighty fine BROWN FRAME. On getting his sight for the shot, my Pal, Art, blew out three bulbs before he hit the mark, and Brother what a shot! We both thanked Miss Horne and Phil Moore for their congenialness during our visit,
 and made our departure. Thanks to Lena, Phil, my Pal Art and watch the "Chronicle".

Hi, Everybody! Just got the GO sign, and as we leave Main St. heading down the ole LANE I find it rather crowd ed with well-known local cele- brities, both White and Colored, attending two mixed affairs the same night. First I find myself as guest of Jimmy (Esquire) Perkins, on the way to a jam boree in the form of a profes- sionaI boxing swing session at the Hartford Auditorium. On the way in, 'Perk' stopped to take a chance on a brand new 1947 Buick coming off in the near future. Just before the main bout, they have an inter mission at which time every body gets a little leg exercise. Those spotted enjoying the af- fair were: MT. and Mrs. Otto of the popular Otto's Restau- rant; Doty Krivitz, booker of professional entertainment; C.. 'cusv o,P lev ,eSls.Bt
 Adams, Mgr. of a local boxer who appeared on the card Geo. Swan; TINT. Holloway and Al Washington, ex-Navy sports man. Now leaving the south end of the 'LANE", we travel north to peep in on a musical jam session in progress at the well-known Turf Club. Brother was it HOT, and I don't mean the weather. On entering, we are greeted by Matt Strong (Maitre D'Hotel), WOW What a Guy. Matt held down those swell affairs at Lake Compounce during the summer. OK. Reach ing the second floor we find a mixed group of music boys knockin' themselves dizzy with torrid rhythms. Included in the team work as we'll as solos were: Alto Sax, Buddy James; i; Tenor Sax, Eddie Davis, Paul Cloud, and Merrill Krane i;
