Food Shortage 10 Continue.
Emergency Official Says
BY the Associoied Press

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. IA
Morse Salisbury of Washington,
senior officer of tho International
Emergency Food Council, declared
today that "the world is still in the
throes of food shortage and will con-
tinue so for longer than anyone
likes"
The market for basic foods now
is, one might say, disastrously good
because there is too little produc-
ton and too much hunger in the
world" Mr.. Salisbury said at the
opening session of the ninth annual
National Farm Institute.
Mr.. Salisbury said Finland, Aus
tria, Germany. Italy and Portugual
were subsisting on less than 1000
calories a day for the normal con-
sumer- while in the Far East tens of
millions were on the borderline Of
starvation
Internationl trade in food before
the next harvest is "of highest i'm
portance" and supplies are "gravely
inadequate" he said. Competition
for foods among the various coun-
tries has complicated the situation,
Mr.. Salisbury added.

place, noticed it at about LAS am
She aroused her husband, Harold
Skelly, and called the town fire de-
partment.
Flames 80 Feet High.
''Flames were leaping 80 feet high" "
Mrs. Skelly said. She said their
first thought was for the Hoffman
children, whom they believed to be
in the home alone.
The alarm spread to the John G
Moseley home, $500 Forty-seventh
place, Mr.. Moseley yelled for his wife
to call the fire department and
rushed to the fire.
"The kitchen and living room
were blazing" he said. II ran
around to the bedroom window and
kicked it in. I reached into the
room and felt something like bed
but the smoke and flames were
intense. Z.
Then something hit me on the
head and knocked me back. I yelled
for someone to get an ak and finally
started hacking at the house, try
ing to get in"
Later, Mr.. Moseley was taken tc
Leland Memorial Hospital for treat
ment of a severe head cut. He be-
lieved part of the broken window
fell on him.

Park Central Rents
Raised Average S

sRent increases averaging nearly
S. a month and representing an
annual additional cost to tenants of
$17,790, were allowed today by the
District Rent Control Administra-
ton for the BIT units of the Park
Central Apartments, 1900 F street
NV.
The annual increase amounts to
9.25 per cent of the total rental of
approximately $4,000 formerly
charged by the operator of the
apartment, Morris Cafritz.
Through Attorney Joseph c. Nc
Garraghy, Mr.. Cafritz had asked for
rent increases totaling $35,520 an
nually. Tenants opposing the move
were represented by Attorney Ed
ward r. Haigler.
Increases allowed range from SO
cents to $l1 per month, according
to Rent Control Administrator Rob-
ert F. Cogswell. The action fol-
lowed four days of hearings and an
inspection of apartments by Chief
Examiner Ernest F. Williams.
Mr.. Williams recommended the
advances on the basis of a SUBJ

and operating costs since January

which operates the 500-home devel-
opment, was asked about proposed
improvements.
A little tan dog, pet Of the
children, escaped from the fire and
ran to the Moseley home while
Mrs. Moseley was serving coffee to
the f1remen.
Firemen said the fire apparently
started in the kitchen where there
is a coal stove. One theory was
that a faulty electric light switch
in the kitchen was responsible.
Three fire departments answered
the alarm, the nearest, Riverdale,
beirg about mile away. The others
were Riverdale Heights and College
Park. Seven pieces of apparatus
were put into action. The last fire
truck left the scene at am.
Fireman Cuts Hole.
Volunteer Fireman Samuel Ed
wards of the Riverdale Department
was one Of the first on the scene. He
said:
1--WE found out the kids were in the
house and tried to get in through
the wall of an adjoining home (that
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Everett Logan, 6627
Forty ty-seventh place.)"
The fireman managed to cut a
hole, 2x3 feet, but by the time fire
men could get into the bedroom
the children were dead.
First to reach the room was Chief
James F. Ronchie of the Riverdale
Department. He said the children
were lying in separate beds. The
bodies were only slightly burned, and
death was attributed to suffocation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Logan and their
5-month-old baby, Everett, jr.
were driven from their home by
the blaze.
Herbert Millman, 6616 Forty-sev-
enth place, also rushed to the scene
"As soon as I saw the flames
7 ran over to see what I could do,
he said. II couldn't do much.
II grabbed a garden hose with
Skelly and Moseley and we trieC
to put out the fire, but it was be-
yond control"
Bernard E. Loshbough, deputy
chief of operations for NCHA, said
last nights meeting with the Cal
vert Community Committee was
called to discuss improvements asked
of the NCHA in letter dated Janu-
ary 80. He said he was Informed

attributed the fact the fire did not

"ra5ar reflector" increases the strength of the radar echo from the ordinary buoy structure and thus makes 1t detectable at greater dis tanceS and through worse condi- tions of interference such as that from rough, choppy seas, known as "Seaclutter" when viewed on a radar screen. The action of the device is similar to that of good mirror, properly pointed to re- fleet light flashes back to the ob- server and can be compared, in this respect, to the familiar reflectorS used on automobile highway signs and markers to make them show up better when illuminated by au- tomobile headlights. Only in this case, of course, the reflection is the radar beam sent out from the ship, returned by the reflector and made visible to the navigator on the viewing screen of his radar equipment,
 Although only experimental models of this device. one of which is illustrated mounted on top of a standard buoy, have so far been constructed, sufficient in- formation has been obtained from tests and demonstrations to prove definite usefulness in some such form or applications. Increased distance ranges of detection on the type of buoy pictured. up to twice the range for an ordinary buoy. were demonstrated at the recent International Meeting on Marine Radio Aids to Navigation (LNFNfRAfI) in New London, Conn, during the first week in May, 1947.

Taft's action that he urged the two million Federal workers in the country to vote Democratic in the next elections An overwhelming majority of the members of the Senate favored the bill, but Taft thWarted their wishes.
 3. Senator Taft, so anxious to curb labor. displayed only the faint est interest in another bill to which he had previously lent his own name. This was the Wagner-El- lender-Taft Bill, designed to en- courage vast expansion of housing construction, program the nation vita1ly needs. Taft'S sudden lack of interest resulted in Sabotaging this measure. Perhaps it is only coincidence that the powerful real estat lobby fought this bill vi-. ciously.
 4 Taft also blocked efforts to enact the Wagner-Murray- -Dingell Bill, providing national insurance against the costs of medical care. a reform badly needed in this coun- try. AS substitute, Taft proposed a measure which would grant people medical assistance only If they confessed themselves paupers. This was typical of his callous at- titude toward human rights and progress.
 5. Senator Taft was one of the strongest supporters of new tax bill which would have accorded the wealthy substantial tax reductions and given the masses of the people only token tax cut. This measure had to be twice vetoed by Presi- dent Truman for its obvious un- fairness before it was killed.
 It is almost unbelievable that public servant with such a record could ever aspire to ths office of the President of the United States. Yet Senator Robert A. Taft stands before the American people today. fatuouSly seeking their support for the highest office in the land.
 What are you. the workers and the voters of America. going to dc about 1t?

Der in considering Taft's candidacy;
 1. The Ohio Senator was one of the authors and prime movers of the Taft-Hartley Act, which seeks to destroy at one blow all the gains which the members of organized labor have won over the past generation. In discussing this measure publicly before it's enactment, Senator Taft admitted that it contained ''three-quarters of the matters pressed upon us strenuously by employers"
 The question is-Can American workers look with favor upon the prospect of having in the White House man who takes dictation from employers and puts their in- terests above the interests of the great mass of American citizens?
 2. Senator Taft, by his single objection. prevented Senate ac- ton just before adjournment of the first session of the 80th Congress on the Langer-Chavez-Stevenson Bill, previously adopted unani- mouSly by the House of Repre- sentatives. This bill sought to in- crease Federal retirement allow ances slightly to compensate for the lowered purchasing power of the dollar. Republican Chairman Langer of the Senate. Civil Ser vice Committee was so angered by
