University property at Tsingtao
where the Marines are now billeted.
He did not say how far these dis
cussions had progressed. ..,.
It was learned here that a letter
from the Marines had reached Chi
nese authorities at Tsingtao saying
the Marine lease on the property
would be terminated on January 25,
but some Navy officials said this
letter was written by error" and
had been Cancelled
A plan to put the 5000 Marines
stationed at Tsingtao aboard ships
has been studied by naval author

1t was felt here that movement
of the Tsingtao Marines from land
base to ship was in line with the
policy adopted at Shanghai where
more than 900 United States Ma
rines were sent last month. These
Marines are still aboard ship in the
Whangpoo River, but shore parties
are permitted.

ERP Nations Fear Inability
To Stand Alone After 81

PARIS, Jan. 5 LP).-Western Eu-
rope admitted today that on the
basis of present planning it may not
be able to stand alone after the
European Recovery Program ends
The 10 areas participating in the
ERP said that even on the basis
of optimistic estimates they could
foresee a trade deficit of $500. 900 600
with the rest of the world in the
1928 fiscal year. That would be
the year after ERP ends.
The deficit with North and South
America was listed at 81 100000 900,
but 100000, 900 in surpluses with
other areas put the world deficit
at the $780, 100000 mark.
Report Outlines Progress.
The grim figures emerged in spite
of plans to increase exports from
IS to 10 per cent above present
levels. Industrial and agricultural
production levels are slated to rise
Is to 80 per cent.
The organization for European
Economic Co-operation-the CEN
trail Office through which the 10
areas are trying to plot the way
toward collective recovery-frankly
admitted the production and export
goals might not be met. This could
lead to a possible trade deficit of
$4,000, 900 ,000-if imports were main
tanned on the proposed schedule.
The facts were published by the
OEEC in 200-page report out
lining progress that has been made
In framing Western Europe's eco
nomic policies for the next four and
half years.
There was no note of defeatism
In the report. There was no sug-
gestion that ERP be continued be-
yond June 30, 1852, as originally
scheduled
Point Solution Offered.
A three-point solution was pro-
posed for the problem of the an
ticipated dollar deficit in 1923.
The points were:
l. Even greater intensifcation OF
the export drive, although 1t was
admitted that present goals may be
impossible to reach.
g New sources Of supply to re-
place those of the dollar area.
3. Further reduction of imports
although these already have been
pared down to what are believed
irreducible minimums.
To build up her exports, Western
Europe was urged to make energetic
efforts to regain her old markets
and find new ones. The report said
European. manufacturers must
compete in quality, in service, in
promptness of delivery, in attention
to the needs of the customer, in
price. Sales to the United States
market will depend partly, in addi-
ton, on American tariff policy"

Marshall Plan Seen
Due 10 End in 1852
Despite New Pleas
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

A top Marshall Plan official said
today that the general European
Recovery Program will end on
schedule" in 1852. despite the plea OF
Western Europe that it cannot stand
alone on its economic feet by that
time.
Richard M. Bissell, deputy as
sistant administrator of the Eco
nomic Cooperation Administration
made the forecast at a news con-
ference.
He implied that longer-term
United States aid may be made
available to individual countries, de-
pending on their needs, but declared
1T is still very definitely my view
that the European Recovery Pro-
gram will end on schedule"
There is no evidence in report
from 10 European Marshall Plar
recipients that the program should
be continued after June 80, 1852, Mr.
Bissell said.
He referred to long range plan
for European recovery released yes
terday in Paris by the Organization
for European Economic Co-opera-
ton. The report declared that the
countries receiving American foreign
aid under ECA still will need as
much as So. 900, 100000 in assistance
after the plan, as now constituted
comes to an end.
S4,347 200, 900 to Be Asked.
The ECA executive emphasized
that his statement does not imply
that the European Recovery Pro-
gram will last four years He sale
the year-to-year operation of the
Marshall Plan is a decision tha
Congress must make.
To finance recovery next year, Mr.
Bissell said ECA will ask Congress
for about s4.347 100000. with GER
tain adjustments yet to be made"
The ngure mentioned by Mr. Bis
sell for the coming year was the
same as recommended by the ma
tions of the OEEC in its program
submitted to American aid officials
That report outlined the progress
which has been made in framing g
master plan for Western Europe's
economic recovery.
Mr.. Bissell said OEEC has made il
clear that many stumbling blocks
still lie in the path of economic
stability IN Europe. He listed two
major problems.
These are the urgent needs OF
increasing European industrial eX-
ports and finding low-cost sources
of supply for food and raw mate
rials.

minerals, vitamins, calories and
good protein. If you don't eat
your daily eggs, meat or good pro-
tein, your system will get it by
breaking down your body tissue.
But the smart housewife doesn't
overhead her kitchen. She bakes
in the early morning, or broils
chops or serves cold meat.
One hot dish at an otherwise
cold dinner is usually appealing.
Even a completely cold dinner
can be healthful if it contains the
usual balance of meat or fish,
potatoes, two vegetables, one of
which is raw, and milk in some
form. Fresh fruit is a healthful
dessert. Prepare for a hot day with
a good breakfast. including a
whole grain cereal, egg, milk and
fruit.
Sleep Helps
OF COURSE, be sure to refrigerate
your leftovers promptly. Protect
the vitamins in your uncooked
vegetables and fruits by refrigera-
ton or cool storage. Be sure to
screen all food from flies. Good
screening also will keep out dis
ease-carrying mosquitoes.
Eight or nine hours sleep helps
keep your disposition sweet. In
creased amounts of iced tea, coffee
or stimulating drinks may account
for difficulty in sleeping. If so,
switch to fruit juice.

Answers TO Farm
Questions By
State College

QUESTION: Will acreage al
lotment and marketing quotas be
put into effect on 1s50-crop wheat?
ANSWER: In a recent state
ment Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan said: If the present ia
vorable conditions for large l949
wheat crop continue, the depart
ment may be required by law to
proclaim acreage allotments and
possibly marketing quotas for the
1850 crop. A final decision cannot
be made until after June crop re-
port is available.
State PIMA committees and coun-
ty agricultural conservation COM
mittees are now gathering from
farmers the crop acreage and pro-
duction information which will be
need if farm acreage allotments
are required and marketing quotas
are proclaimed. If quotas are pro-
claimed, approval of at least two
thirds Of the growers voting in a
referendum would be required 10
put them into effect.
The total wheat supply for the
l94e-5O marketing year. w h i n
starts July l. is at present expected
TO be in excess of 1.6 billion
bushels. Such a supply might be
80 to 60 million bushels above the
level at which a proclamation for
marketing quotas would be re-
quired by law.
QUESTION: What portion OF
their income do city residents
spend for food?
ANSWER: About one-third. ac-
cording to a survey made in the
spring of 1913 by the Bureau OF
Human Nutrition and Home Eco
nomlcs, U. S. Department Of -Agri-
culture. The food bill of the aver
age city family was found to be
S25.57 a week. or 80 per cent OF
the total weekly income. The study
showed that a larger part OF IN
come went for food in l94S than in
1912. when comparable. data were
gathered. In 1912, the weekly food
bill Of the average urban family
was S14.23. or % per cent Of the
total income.
The bigger postwar food bills
have gone partly into higher
prices. partly into large purchases.
Higher consumption of such foods
as milk, fruits. vegetables, eggs
and meat. poultry, and fish indi-
cate that the family's food money
bought better nutrition in 1913
than In early war year.
