Truman Calls for Two
Weekly Hunger Meals
Anderson Rules Millers To Cut
Flour Production by Twenty-five Per Cent
Washington, April 19 The United States took on a mammoth
job tonight. And almost immediately a concrete play was an
nounced for getting that job done.
President Truman, realizing that our country has assumed al
most half of the world's famine-relief load, called for two "starva-
Jvn r?otTC!M o WOdV in fhp AmPTi-
wvu uujr o vu A
can home. By "starvation day,1
Mr. Truman means that Ameri
cans should eat meals which
those in hunger areas sit down
to, month in, month out. The
President says: "The time for
talk has passed. The time for
action is there." And he adds:
"Americans cannot remain
healthy and happy in the same
world where millions of human
beings are starving. A sound
world order can never be built
upon a foundation of human mis
ery." - Mr. Truman called for renew
ed s economy in food after his
famine expert, Herbert Hoover,
reported from abroad that un
less Americans eat less, unnum
bered thousands will die. Right
on the heels of President Tru
man's plea comes a sweeping or
der by Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton Anderson. He announc
es that farmers will be paid a
30-cent-a-bushel-bonus for all
' wheat delivered by May 25th,
and for 50 thousand bushels of
corn delivered by May 25th. This
move has been taken in an at
tempt to get vitally needed
rains off the farm and onto
ships headed for starvation areas
before it is too late.
Anderson also has ruled that
millers must cut the amount of
flour ground for domestic use
by 25 per cent of the 1945 level.
Everything milled over that
quota will be earmarked for for
eign relief. Food manufactur
ers, including bakers, have been
limited to a 21 day wheat inven
tory effective May first. And
finally, Anderson says the de
partment will buy unlimited
amounts of oatmeal from millers
for relief purposes. Whole oats
also will be purchased.
Tomorrow's Bunny to be
Kind to the Ladies
New York, April 19 The la
dies will be taking no chances
when they sport their Easter
finery Sunday. The weather
man said tonight that in most
places across the nation, it will
be fair and mild. There will be
blue skies and pleasantly mild
temperatures over the eastern
half of the country. However, a
few scattered light showers are
predicted for the Great Lakes re
gion and the upper Mississippi
valley.
Negotiations Refused
For Russian Loan
Washington, April 19 Secre
tary of State James Byrnes re
veals tonight that he has re
fused to open formal negotiations
on Russia's request for a one
billion dollar loan. And he says
he won't discuss the matter until
Russia agrees to an overall con
ference on the major economic
differences between the two
countries. The secretary says
that he has sent to Moscow a

winner Greer Garson had a nar
row escape yesterday that wasn't
in the script.
And it was an extra in her pic

role.
The auburn-haired beauty was
on location at Carmel, California.
She was standing in the- surf
with her leading man, Richard
Hart, when an eight foot wave
swept her out to sea. Hart swam
after her, but couldn't reach her.
Extra man Vincent Sollezito,
owner of a fishing boat anchored
nearby, went to the rescue, and
grabbed the heroine in what was
almost the last act.

RR Fireman
Is Trombonist
In Symphony
People from all walks of life
play in the North Carolina Sym
phony Orchestra, which will
play here Monday night at Me
morial hall.
Numbered in its personnel the
orchestra has a trombone play
er who is a fireman on one of
the southern railroads. Due to
his limited practice time at
home, he always takes his trom
bone with him on the train in
the hope of snatching a few
minutes for some music now and
then between shovelling coal and,
talking to the engineer.
One day this diligent trom
bonist came to Symphony re
hearsal, took his trombone out
of the instrument case, and start
ed to warm up.
"See that dent", he pointed
out to a fellow-player. "The
other day when I was practic
ing, the brakesman threw the
switch at the wrong time and
wrecked the train."
Then caressing the long
shiny tube, he added, "Lucky it
didn't smash all to pieces".
Butcher, banker, plumber,
painter. . .they're all in the or
chestra. Munitions workers, salesmen
housewives ; a doctor, and i
second-hand dealer; professors
of subjects ranging from physics
to psychology; music students
and music teachers; members
of the armed forces all make
up the symphony personnel.

a varied bill of dance entertain
ment in the Playmakers Theatre
at 8:30 Tuesday night.
The program, which is free to
all students and faculty, is for
the benefit of America's first
"University of Dance" founded
by Shawn at Jacob's Pillow,
Massachusetts, will feature a
lecture on "Famous Contempo
rary Dances." John Lmduist
will accompany Shawn during
the talk, with Kodachrome slides
of the many famous dancers
who have been on the Jacob's
Pillow Dance Festivals.
Founded Dance School
Though a parylytic in his
childhood, Shawn for the past
thirty years has danced, lectur
ed, taught and choreographed
for the audiences of the world.
As a boy he danced alone, and
then with a small company. Mar
rying Ruth St. Denis, he found
ed with her the Denishawn
school of dance, which became
world famous.
Shawn commenced the most
revolutionary period of his
career in 1933, when he trained
a group of college athletes into
dancers and formed the first com
pany of all men dancers in the
world. Seven years of touring
America brought the American
public to recognize the fact that
dance was a worthy profession
for men.
