u. 5. Must Feed Reich,
Hoover Tells Nation
In Broadcast on Task

Convinced that this country must
feed Germany whether we like 1t
or not" former President Hoover
is undertaking another food mis-
sion for the White House-this time
to determine German needs IN the
United States and British zones OF
occupation.
The former President, who last
spring made a global food survey
in connection with widespread
famine, yesterday accepted the new
assignment from President Truman,
and last night broadcast an out
line of the problem he faces.
"We cannot have the Amerlcarll
flag flying over 10000 900 people re-
duced to a gigantic Buchenwald," j"
Mr.. Hoover said Without elaborat-
ing on this reference to the Nazi
horror camp, the former President
said Germans are now reduced to
a daily diet of about 1,400 calories
compared with the average Ameri-
can consumption of 3,400 calories.
"The supply of food in Germany
Is less than enough to maintain a
worker fit to work." he said in an
American Broadcasting Co. broad
cast. "Our soldiers are in this area,
our flag flies there, and if for no
other reason, we must feed the peo-
pie to protect our boys
Austria as we'll as Germany will
be encompassed in the survey, which
Mr.. Hoover said also might take in
the French zone of occupation and
Italy. 1t will not cover the Russian
zone.
The primary object of the study is
to devise means of boosting Ger
many production until the country
is able to feed itself. This will be
from two to three years, in the
opinion of Mr.. Hoover, who said
the United States in the meantime
is spending upwards of $500, ,00o, 900
annually to feed the Germans.
He plans to leave next week. &C

N. C.. FARM INCOME
MAKES RECORD GAIN

Washington-Carolina farming
is a billion-dollar business.
In 1916 for the first time North
and South Carolina farm income
shot over the billion-dollar mark.
North Carolina alone ap-
preached three quarters of a bill
lion-dOllars, with total of $714,-
$4,000.
South Carolina passed the quar-
ter-billion scale of business, with
1901, $4,000.
Total for the two Carolinas
reached $1,016,388,0OO.
According to reports from the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture this is an all-time rec
ord.
For both States the big income
increase was in crops and strange
ly enough both states showed a
decrease in livestock income over
the previous years.
Crop income in North Carolina
for 1916 totalled $610,479,OOO, ar
increase of $93,788,OOO over the
1945 figure.
Livestock income for Tar Hee.
farmers sank from $116,75O,0OC
in 1945 to $1O4,396,OOO for a de-
crease of $12,354,OOO.
Livestock income for Palmetto
State farmers also went down
from $49,3 $4,000 in 1945 to $41,.
100000 in 1916 for a decrease OF
$7,893,OOO.
Only ten states beat North

The need for a clinic was I'M

This committee found the desire
Tor it was very great among all
persons and organizations working
with emotional, guidance, and be-

The committee then explored the
possibility Of setting up a clinic.
The paramount necessity was a

furry of counterfeiting to give the
Secret Service a busy year.
Two cases involving 'the most
important counterfeiting enter
prises discovered by the service in
recent years. were recounted in
the report.
In one, engraved plates from
which $40, 900 in counterfeit $40
notes had been printed were re
covered from the bottom of the
Passaic river near Newark, N. j.,
after a four-day search by Navy
divers cooperating with the Secret
Service.
The case wound up with seizure
OF all the bogus bills and arrest
OF five persons on cou~nterfeitine
charges.
In the other, an ''old offender
managed to get just. 80 bogus S.
and $40 federal reserve notes into
circulation before Secret Service
agents recognized his touch like
dealers in rar paintings recognize
an artists work.
Another agent with a memory
for faces recognized the quarry or
a St. Louis street and arrested
him. He pleaded guilty and drew
a 15-year sentence.
