mittee, said he has made no plans
for hearings ''but ] hope we can do
something later on" He added:

Germon Officials Ask Slash
In Rotions of Two Zones

FRANKFURT, Germany, May
Is (R)-German officials today pro-
posed a temporary slash in the Of
fetal rations In the British and
American zones as food experts of
both zones met in emergency ses-
sion on Western Germany's grave
food crisis.
Reports reaching Berlin from the
Soviet zone indicated that the Rus
sions, too, were experiencing difficult
ty meeting ration scales In Eastern
Germany, although the situation
there was believed to be less acute.
In washington, Secretary OF War
Patterson said more than COCO
tons OF food would be sent to Ger
many this month, a similar amount
would be sent next month, and
"even more" in July.
Germon officials in Stuttgart, sd-
yised of the American plan, said
even these imports would fall 10000
tons short of the monthly require
ments in the two zones.
Rations 50 Per cent Short.
These officials proposed that the
official ration in the British and
American zones be cut from 1850
to 1,130 calories daily per per-
son, and Paul S. Taggart, Amer
lean food director for Wuerttem-
berg-Baden said that II the proposal
was approved by both military gov
ernments, it would take effect May
Is for a four-week period. States
| in both zones are failing to meet
the official per capita ration, with
deficiencies ranging up to nearly II
per cent, reports to the bizonal fooe
agency in Stuttgart show.
The possibility OF mass protest
strike in Stuttgart next week ap-
/ peared to have faded. Factory
workers, rejecting the ugly mood
noted by American officials yester-
day, had threatened general strike
May ~, but Marcus Schleicher, pres.
ident of the city's trade unions
declared that the workers woule
allow more time for the situation
to be improved.

Britain May Use
Troops 10 Get
Food for Reich
London Cabinet to Act
On Bevin Proposal for
Black Market Drive
~ me As.ee;o,sd Press

LONDON. May 15.-Govern-
ment sources said today that
British occupation troops in Ger
many soon would swing into
action In an all-out effort to
crush a widespread black mar
ket held largely responsible for
Germany's grave food crisis.
Foreign Secretary Bevin this
morning submitted complete plan
for this zonal swoop to the British
cabinet which was expected to ap-
prove it unanimously.
Government sources said Mr.
Bevin may announce details OF his
action to the House OF Commons
this afternoon when he opens the
debate on foreign affairs.
Emergency Steps Discussed.
Main item on the agenda OF the
British cabinet this morning was
discussion of emergency measures to
meet the food crisis in the British
zone of Germany.
The government sources said the
plan for the British's army's move
was submitted first to Mr., Bevin
during a two-hour meeting yester-
day by his topmost zonal economic
military and political advisers.
| Present were Sir Sholto Douglas,
zonal commander In chief: Gen. Sir
Brian Robertson, his deputy; Sir
william sStrang and Sir Cecil Weir,
his political and economic advisers.
Robertson was to have returned
to Germany late yesterday to pre-
pare for. the zone-wide operation
but postponed his departure until
today.
Will Search Farmlands.
The British Army,s newest assign
ment will take the troops into the
farmlands where they will search fol
hidden stocks of all types Of food
which, instead OF being marketed
through normal channels, are being
kept back for disposal on the black
market.
Mr.. Bevin's advisers reportedly
startled the Foreign Secretary by
their estimates of how much was
being kept back by German farmers
or was being diverted to the black
markets.
They were said to have told him
too few cattle were being delivered
for slaughter and that good deal
of grain was being boarded.
The only way to deal with the
situation, they urged, was to tighten
controls still more to insure inme-
diate distribution to hungry towns
people.

 Once ycu set past the first three teams, there's no telling who you'll meet in the chubby Coast League
 Tcday, for example, San Diego is fourth, Seattle fifth, Sacramento sixth, Portland seventh, Hollywood last. Yesterday it was Sacramento, Portland, San Diego, Seattle, Holly weed.
 What it amounts to. virtually is five team second division. with only Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco staying above 800.
 The leading Angels pelted San Francisco last night, 1922, to main tain q live. same margin over Oak land which humbled Hollywood, Az.
 Tommy Seats hurled his seventh win to pitch San Diegos Padres to "A, triumph over Sacramento. Tlte Padres, with ATT, thus squeez- ed into fourth place over Seattle, which rose to 476 by again double waxing Portland, 3-2 and 7-l
 San Diegos reviving Padres made it five in a row Ky blasting Tony FIeitas cut in four-run sixth inn ing featured by Ray Trans second triple cf the game and a two-run homer by Dain Clay. Loop pacing Maxie West rapped his 25th circuit drive with one on in the fifth.
 Pitching which was supposed to be Portland's strong suit-gave Se- attle another pair, their second double victory in two nights over the Beavers. Herman Bosses four hitter edged Vince Di Biasi in the cighth-inning opener, and Sig Ja- kucki was too tough in the pinches in the nightcap, allowing l2 hits but only one run.
 A pinch single by Bob Johnson, former American Leaguer, hroke up the tight first game in which Joe Reich of Portland and Manager Jo Jo White of the Rainiers homered.
 The Beaver Rainier marathon continues with another double shot tonight.

Moore came up, and Hollander went down on a wild pitch, Then Moore walked, and Rudy Notar hefted his bat It must have felt good, because after a long foul over the left field renee, he connected with a single to right, scoring Hol- lander. Notar took second on the throw in, and Moore went to third.
 That brought up Pasquen and Fcrsythe, and the stands were ready fer one of them to knock the horse hide eff the ball. As it happened, they didn't. Pasquan flied out to Cashen in right field, and Forsythe fouled out to Rcllison at first. Barnes named, and that was the end of the ball game.

 Listening to him you get the idea that Charley relishes the idea of causing condemnation among tfe pennant-seekers almost as much as he would like shooting for the championship himself.
