|U. S. Citizens To
| Have Less Food
With Victory
j Washington, May—Judge Samuel
1. Rosenmari has told President Tru
man that the United States must
bear the major burden of feeding
and equipping war-ravaged North
western Europe, and lie called for
a clear statement of policy and a
campaign by the Government to
prepare U. S. civilians for shorter
) rations.
| Rosenman, special counsel to (the
j President, headed a mission which
I investigated supply needs of liber
ated areas of Northwest Europe. He
was assigned to the mission by the
late president Roosevelt,
A summary of his report was re
leased as the House passed over
whelmingly and sent to the Senate
"a food for all" bill authorizing
United States membership in the
International Food Organization
drawn up at Hot Springs, Va., in
1943. Membership would cost the
United States $625,000 for the first
year and not more than $1,250,000
annually thereafter.
Leo T. Crowley, chairman of the i
interagency committee on foreign
shipments, reported meanwhile that
U. S. civilians will get less food
this year than last, but he promis
ed a "decent American diet” will
be maintained. He said military re
quirements will rise from 13 to 16
per cent of the overall supply. He
would not estimate the cut for ci
vilians, but the committee estimated i
that U. S. food production will be
from five to 10 per cent off from
last year. It said rationing of some
commodities, must continue long af
ter V-E Day.
A similar picture of what civil
ians face was presented by food
officials of the United States, Great
Britain and Canada. They said in j
a statement that United Nations j
requirements are higher this year
and supplies are lower and that, the
problem will extend into 1946. Ei
ther the United Nations must find
the answers or millions of persons
throughout the world will meet dis
illusionment and disappointment
following in the wake of victory,"
they said.
Rosenman recommended a dual
publicity program to convince the
American public that it must share
its food and supplies still further
and to inform the peoples of Norch
western Europe of the shortages in
this country and how the Americans
are sacrificing for them.
"Since allocation of civilian sup
plies to liberated countries in all
probability will cut into the ration
of the American consumer," he said,
“a widespread official and public
campaign should be understaken to
inform the American people of th?
gavity of the needs of our allies
in liberated Europe.
"Conversely, there is no adequate
understanding by the ordinary ci
vilians in these liberated areas of
what the Americans and British
have done for the civilian popula
tion of these countries.: Nor do
they realize that in the United Sta
tes, too, there are grave shortages.

ing for leadership.
Some of the activities in Wilkes,

good examples of the work being I
done at this time.
In Wilkes County the Moravian |

provement of the school grounds, j ■
Joe Brewer, president of the club, j 1
is vitally interested in the plans and 1 1
has divided the club membership j :
into various committees, each of j
which has a definite part in the! i
plans. Mrs. Bernice Greer is the '
neighborhood 4-H leader and the |'
boys and girls work under her gen
eral guidance.
At present they are planning to

ings and follow a landscape plan

The Helena 4-H club members in
Person County are improving their

be made during the year. This pro- I
j ject has created much interest in
the club and the entire community. !
Durham County
The Lowe’s Grove Junior 4-H Club
of Durham county held an Easter
Party at the school gymnasium
with approximately 200 boys and
girls present. They were divided
j into, groups and a leader directed
the games in each group. Prizes
were awarded to winners of the dif
lerent contests, after which soft |

Vance County
Vance County 4-H club boys and
girls were represented by two sets j
of twins from the Middleburg Sen- i
ior 4-H club on the radio program
of station WPTF in Raleigh on j
March 24. Those on the program
were Anne and Becky Mabry arid ;
Walter and Wallace White. We
have heard many favorable com
ments on the program.
We should improve the transmission
abroad of the story of the American j
war effort and of American sacri- I
fices to improve the lot of cur al
lies."

Judge Hayes
Praises OPA Job
( Raleigh, May 3—ln Federal Court
j in Raleigh, in addressing the Grand
Jurors, Judge Johnson J. Hayes dis
cussed briefly the principal charges
jon which defendants will be tried
lat this term of Federal Court, and
!in speaking of OPA violations he 1
igave a hint of what might be ex--
pected of . defendants charged with
violation of OPA rules and regula
tions.
“The Office of Price Administra
tion," Judge Hayes said, "was de
j signed for the good of the com
mon masses of people, but the OPA
has had hard luck because of its
administration. The OPA was de
signed to prevent soaring prices,
isuch as were experienced in the last
! war, and to keep some people from
wallowing in plenty and others from
having little of anything."
He drew several examples of the
differences in the food situation in
this war and in World War I. and
[pointed out that there are OPA
workers today who are trying to sol
! ve certain food problem. l *.which have
become drastic, such as the meat
! situation.
"There’s some common sense to
the OPA and some good in it," Jud
ge Hayes declared, “or else Presi
dent Roosevelt would hot have put
his name to it and approved it for
the common people. , v .President
Roosevelt made a passionate fight
for the rights of tile common peo
pie.

depression of. 1932 now are living in

plenty; there are Jobs for all, but
a lot of people want more and are
never satisfied with what they have.
"There is not enough manpower
to permit the OPA to investigate
the numerous violations, and even
some citizens who abide by OPA 1
regulations feel that it is a shame.
But man cannot console himself by
violating any law which remains
upon the statute books."
Judge Hayes spoke of the thous
ands of fighting men "over there”,
and declared, "I would be ashamed
to be a red-blooded, full-bodied man
living the Unite States of America
making my money by violation of
the law. There is plenty of work
for all, and there is absolutely no
excuse for engaging in crime."
