Food Requirements Committee Created Indications Are It Will Be Headed By Secretary Of Agriculture NEW YORK, May 21—(A»)— The establishment of an over-all Fooc Requirements Committee, u n d e 1 the War Production Board a nd probably headed by Secretary oi Agriculture Wickard was disclosed today by WPB Chief Donald M. Nelson. In a telegram read at a lunch eon meeting of the Associated Gro. eery Manufacturers of America, Nelson said existing agencies co operating with the new committee would make it unnecessary “to set up an elaborate food admin istration.” Nelson’s telegram was read to the delegates a short time after they had been addressed by Sec retary Wickard who told them that “it is still safe to say that everyone in this country can have enough nourishing rood, out we can’t be certain that we won’t run short of some particular kinds of foods and have to make up the lack with other kinds of food.” Secretary Wickard declared that his department would be glad to assume its full responsibility in coordinating production, process ing and distribution of food. Nelson’s telegram said that the new committee under the WPB would “establish the policies and programs by which America’s food supply will be produced and pro cessed during the war.” The WPB chief said that he be lieved the program “will help us to meet America’s military and civilian food requirements during the war, and will also enable us to continue supplying our Allies with the foodstuffs they need.” “The probability is that this committee will be headed by the secretary of agriculture and will include representatives of our armed forces, the Office of Price Administration, the Board of Ec onomic Welfare and the WPB,” Nelson siad. Wickard has just told the gro cery manufacturers that the na tiion needed a “unified national food policy to meet war demands,” and warned anew against a pos sible food shortage. He explained that demands for food for the United Nations had increased beyond expectations. “A year ago it seemed certain that we could meet all foreseeable lend-lease needs and have plenty of all kinds of food for other uses, and even some to spare,” Wickard said. He added that "of course, it looked as if farmers would have to produce more of some things, and processors handle more. But generally speaking it seemed that the normal methods of producing, processing and distributing food could go on as usual.” This, Wickard said, is no longer true. Among the difficulties tend ing to limit food production and dsitribution Wickard mentioned shortages of fertilizer, farm ma chinery, farm labor, trucks and tires, tin and processing equip Do falseTeeth Rock, Slide or Slip? FASTEETH, an improved powder to be sprinkled on upper or lower plates, holds false teeth more firmly in place. Do not slide, slip or rock. No gummy, gooey, pasty taste or feeling. PAS. TEETH is alkaline (non-acid). Does not sour. Checks “plate odor” (den ture breath). Get FASTEETH at any drug store. T ! ment and an overstrained trans portation system. Wickard declared that in the making of “the kind of world we’re fighting for the first essen tial is plenty of food fairly dis , tributed among two billion peo ple.” “The food industries of America carry heavy responsibilities not only for the winning of the war but for the writing of lasting peace,” he said. Earlier, Paul A. Willis, president of the Associated Grocery Manu facturers, had urged the creation of a War Food Board in Washing ton and suggested it be along the lines of the Food Administration headed by Herbert Hoover during the last war. Willis said that “our first job is to win the war,” but added that the problem of food was next in importance to the problem of men, equipment and munitions in the fighting forces. He said that the government de mand for critical materials had threatened the supply of materials for containers and added that the identify of the brand name was also threatened in a suggestion from Washington that a “Victory” brand be substituted for all others. Wickard said in his speech that “it’s already a certainty that many kinds of food will reach con sumers in different packages or different forms from those they are used to, and that many meth ods of distribution will have to be changed.” Willis expressed concern for what he termed a threat to ad vertising. He said that despite statements from Price Administra. tor Leon Henderson to the effect that advertising would not be dis turbed, he interpreted reports out of Wahington that call for the “elimination of frills” as being made with advertising in mind. brigmbuilding WORK PROGRESSES Formal Opening Of Institu tion Tentatively Set For Sunday, May 31 Repairs to the building of the Brigade Boys club are nearly com plete and formal opening ceremon ies are tentatively scheduled for Sunday, May 1, William Stewart, executive secretary announced yesterday. The building’s lower floor was practically destroyed by a fire which started in the basement about three months ago. Plans for the repair of the structure were started immediately following the blaze and work has been going on for some time. The large lobby of the club has been completed, Stewart said, and the office space will be ready for use early next week. Work is now underway on the finishing of the second floor which was badly smoked during the fire. New stair ways have been built and the en tire building will receive a general overhauling and cleaning. Work is expected to consume ap proximately another week and im mediately following completion, an open house for the public is plan ned.
