Centralized Cafeteria
Program in Schools
May Be Delayed

Complications and tight time
schedule may prevent the new
centralized cafeteria program in
the public schools from going into
effect next September for the
opening of the new school year.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
conceded this possibility at his
weekly press conference yesterday.
Centralizing of the school cafe
terias was approved by Congress
last year. Each school principal
now runs the school cafeteria as
a private business.
Earlier in the week, DR.. Corning
presented to the Board of Educa-
ton personnel committee a report
recommending the establishment
of a department Of food services.
The report also outlined the gen.
eral operation Of the program.
The hitch is this:
To start the program. the school
system needs $25,OOO. This re-
quest has just gone to Congress.
The report recommended that a
director and two assistant direc-
tors be appointed by July /. This
would give them time to fami-
liarize themselves with the school
lunch program and set up the
machinery. The new food services
department also would take over
operation of the Penny Milk Pro-
gram and the Surplus Food Dis
tribution Program.
The personnel committee re-
fused to approve the report this
week. Members said they wanted
time to study it and to see what
happens to the 5000 request in
Congress.
DR.. Corning said this delay may
make it almost impossible to get
the directors appointed in time.
Under the law establishing the
program, the Board of Education
first must establish the new de-
partment and then adopt general
policies before anything can GO
ahead.

The Communist ability to repair

There were strong pleas for the
Endorsement of Gov. Stevenson of

Senator Humphrey, who has his
States support for the nominal
ton as 'favorite son." and others.
Many urged, however, that there
be no Endorsement. Some of the

unhappy memories of ADA's in
dorsement of Gen. Eisenhower for
the Democratic nomination just
before the 1948 convention. Gen.
Eisenhower declined the support.

Reds Will Be Sorry
# They Use Germs
Or Gas, Lovett Warns
By John A. Giles

The Communists were on warm
ing today that if they used germ
or gas warfare in Korea they'll
wish they had never been born"
Secretary of Defense Lovett
yesterday spoke out at a news
conference against Red propa-
ganda charges that U. N. forces
had used these mass destruction
weapons in the Korean war.
isn't it strange" Mr.. Lovett
asked, "if you think back, that the
Communists techniques world
wide have usually been to charge
some one else in advance with
crime they propose to commit?
You can tick off instance after
instance.
II query. therefore-and this is
query-does the charge of bio
logical warfare and poison gas
mean that they propose to get
into that type of activity?
IF they do get into it they will
lose just the same. If they open
up, they open up vast new area
which the decent world has alb
stained from using. And they will
wish they had never been born"
Doesn't Mention A-Bomb.
He answered briefly that he
couldn't say whether the new area
Included the atomic bomb.
Giving American diplomacy al
new and sharp tongue, the usually
serene defense chief tagged the
Reds germ warfare charges as
"abominable, malicious falsehood. )"
He said coldly that any one who
makes such charges "lies in his
teeth"
Mr.. Lovett was in a barely re-
pressed state of indignation from
the moment he was asked about
developments in the Koje prisoner
of-war camp now underway.
He replied that he had to exer-
else every ounce of self-restraint
to remain silent while awaiting
the complete facts about the POW
riots, the seizure of an American
brigadier general. and the subse-
quent conduct of his short-term
successor. The report, he said,
may be at the Pentagon this week
Iend.
However. the Secretary did make
some sharp comment about re-
marks attributed to Brig. Gen.
Charles F. Colson and the Reds
lprompt exploitation of those re-
marks.
Use of Force Denied.
The Americans have carefully
Iobserved every humane principle
and have not used any force in
screening prisoners, he declared.
Bloodshed on Koje Island resulted
solely from the POW's rioting, he
; added.
4 He suggested the Reds wanted
!, to use the Panmunjom truce talks
as an international sounding
board for their propaganda. On
the future of the truce talks he
had no advice to offer. While
they last, he said, the United
: States and the U. N. are obliged
to use every reasonable means of
finding the way to peace.
The armed services have been
silent for many years on their
ability to launch offensive germ
and gas warfare. although the
> defensive preparations against
! such an attack have been stressed.
For several years, however, ap-
i. propriationS bills have contained
> obscure items for increasing items
of construction and work at Camp
lDetrick, Md, and at Dugway.

Camp Detrick is the primary
development for bacteriological
warfare. Dugway is, among other
things: a. proving ground for bac-
