Secretary of War Patterson said
yesterday that more than 100000

this month, a similar amount In

His announcement constituted the

terson said In statement that
yiffpments Of food to Germany
called for under the Hoover recon-

to about one weeks ration"
Even this Is only a delay, not a
reduction" Mr.. Patterson said.
The planned shipments Of food
the Secretary said, should be sufi1-
cient to maintain the ration Qn
Germany from now on"
Substantially all the food imports
into Germany have come from the
United States "as the only available
source, but they have been paid TO,

1.-THE goal is close. The United
States can help many countries
reach that goal in a few more
months through the supplies which
the joint resolution on relief assist
ance will provide. I have no doubt
that the American people desire
that we finish what UNRRA has
so well begun"
UNRRA wound up its work March
81. The Presidents report covered
the quarter October l through

.pTA Congress Hears
Corning, Mrs. Doyle
Al Closing Banquet

The District Congress Of Parents
and Teachers closed It's two-day
convention with banquet In the
Mayfiower Hotel last night.
L School Superintendent Hobart M.
Corning and Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, president OF the Board OF
Education, were the guest speakers
and Albert w. Hall, father. waS
the toastmaster.
Mr.. Hall started of by apologizing
to the group for not attending the
previous nights session at the De-
partmental Auditorium. He said ne
had to get someone to stay with the
children so both he and his vile
could make 1t.
"But when / saw who came TO
stay with the kids. I stayed home
too" he said.
Corning Cites Problems.
DR.. Corning commented that
modern education is the process
which prepares young people to
worry about everything IN the
world"
The two major problems of the
District schools, he said, are the low
teachers salaries and the lack OF
school buildings, which makes It
necessary to keep more than 6.00o
pupils on part-time schedules.
IF this salary thing is not settled,
the prospect for public education In
this land is pretty dismal" he said
Mrs. Doyle also commented on the
salary question, saying the Board OF
Education is deeply disappointed by
the opposition Of the Commission
ers but is "going ahead to get 1t en-
acted" If at all possible.
Pay Bill Approved.
She spoke on her belief in old
fashioned education, favorite sub
ject, and recalled the story Of the
little girl who was enrolled at q
progressive school.
Mamma, do I have to 60 to school
again today and do just what want
to do?" the little girl asked.
At the session yesterday, the Con-
gress approved the pay raises called
for in the teachers pay bill now be-
fore congressional committees. The
group conceded that 1t would mean
more taxes but felt that "the edu-
cational welfare of our children is
so important that the additional
cost should be borne by the taxpay-
ers."
Mrs. o. G. Hankins, who was re-
elected president Of the congress in
troduced the officers last night. Mrs
A. L. Smith was dinner chairman.

Food and Agriculture In the Bavar-
ian government, said today ne
reached the agreement with labor
leaders late last night. He said he
promised to double the 1000 gram
1858 ounces bread ration next
week, using reserve stocks.
The labor leaders warned him, he
said, that unless workers got more
bread, strikes and public demon-
strations might be expected. So far
Bavaria has been free of the mass
demonstrations which broke out last
week in the British occupation zone.
Bread May Replace Potatoes.
The bizonal food board, plagued
by a potato famine, was reported
to be considering the substitution
of bread for potatoes when promised
grain shipments arrive from the
United States. Despite stringent
measures to collect potato reserves
from farmers, officials said the coll
lections were not sufficient to cover
commitments to miners soup kitch-
ems in the Ruhr and to the ordinary
consumers of the two zones.
One German factory chairman In
Stuttgart declared that interned
Nazis were getting 1,700 calories OF
food per day, while many free Ger
mans were getting only 800 or 700
calories. The German ration is sup
posed to be 1850 calories, which
nutritionists consider the minimum
diet capable Of sustaining human
being for an extended time.
Gen. Clay acknowledged that the
diet in some areas had fallen as
low as 800 to 300 calories, but that
shotgun measures" were taken tc
bring immediate relief in such sit
uations.

State and county police have no
