U. S. CORRESPONDENTS GIVE
LIE TO BUNDIST "FEED THE
STARVING GERMANS" CRY

New York (JPS).-While ex-
Bundists in Yorkviue, Milwaukee,
and throughout the country ral-
lied around new campaign to
"feed the starving Germans" re-
ports from American correspon-
dents on the German scene give lie
to the myth that the German pop
ulation was dangerously under
fed, and cited examples of lavish
living by German farmers, indus
trialists and black marketeerS.
New York Herald Tribune cor
respondent Marguerite Higgins re-
ports from Gifhorn, Germany, on
a visit to the 2,470 acre estate of
Albert Rossing, a German tin-can
manufacturer, who assailed Brit
ish occupation authorities for not
increasing the rations of Ruhr
miners, and insisted that people
in the British zone are on the
verge of starvation. The Rossings,
Miss Higgins writes, "are separat-
ed from starvation by virtue of
chickens, COWS, and a considerable
number of pigs, goats and ducks.
Writing in PM, Victor H. Bern
stein, who just returned from Ger
many where he accompanied the
UN Special Commission on Pales-
tine on its tour of DIP camps, said:
"Ineither saw nor was told of any
real starvation in Germany today,
although it would be idle to deny
that the physical business of get
ting food takes more time than it
should in any normal economy.
