■ Urge Hoosiers Turn Victory Gardeners Food Situation Is Termed As Critical Indianapolis, June 6. — (UP) — More and better victory gardens are needed thits summer if Hoosiers have enough vegetables next winter. Hoosier food production leaders said today. “The general food situation is really critical and is going to be a lot worse,” associate director L. E. Hoffman of Pui-due university’s agricultural extension department told a state garden conference yesterday. A serious shortage of vegetables threatens Indiana next winter, the conference leaders warned. They said that increased demands, fewer commercial gardens, and unfavorable Weather would make canned vegetables, and even fresh ones, scarce in the fall. “There is still time to plant a garden.” the farm leaders pointed out. They urged every Hoosier who could to plant a garden, take good care of it, and raise all the food possible. Hoffman said that commercial growers have reduced their garden acreage about 30 percent because of the labor shotage. Earlier, the national War food administration announced that only three-fourths of the twual amounts

of common vegetables would be available this year, with the supply of cahned beans and tomatoes equalling only about one-half of last year’s national stock. Persons attending yesterday’s conference included representatives of Jndiana garden clubs, farm organizations, county agricultural agencies, Chambers of Commerce, newspapers and radio stations. -a FRENCH CLAIMS (Continued From Page One) can be erected the countrol council. its coordinating committee and 13-divlsion control staff probably will set up shop in Potsdam, a suburb about half an hour's bus ride from the heart of Berlin. The United States is maintaining its hold on Frankfurt—much to the disappointment of France-*-by continuing to maintain supreme allied headquarters there although the four-power German occupation machinery has begun functioning. SHAEF authorities said yesterday that headquarters would not be liquidated yet awhile. Gen. Charles De Gaulle was said to feel that Cologne, which the British want In their zone, is essential to future French security. The Cologne-Aachen railway leads directly to the Ardennen. Twice in 25 years the Germans struck at France through this region The British reportedly contend, however, that French occupation of Cologne would impair Belgium's independence because French

forces would be interposed lietween German anl Belgian territory. o— — Will Abandon More Os One-Room Schools Still 575 One-Roam Schools In Indiana Indianapolis, June 6. — (UP) — Every year, the number of “little red schoolhouses” declines, but there still are 575 of the one-room variety in Indiana today. Dr. Clement T. Malan, state superintendent of public instruction, said today that the trend toward consolidated schools had resulted in closing 523 one-room schools in the last six years. In 1938, there were 1.098 stich schools, he said. Malan said the number of closed small schools might have been reduced even more except for war restrictions on travel. School officials would have found extra bus transportation necessary in closing more schools, he said. Twenty-four Hoosier counties have eliminated one-room schools completely. The other 68 have at least one, and nine counties have more than 20. Malan said. Those with the greatest number were Martin and Crawford, 28 each; Elkhart and Orange, 26 each; Dubois and Greeiie, 23 each; Harrison and Washington. 22 each, and Monroe, 21.

Postwar planning calls for the abandonment of many more of the tiny buildings, usually heated by t small stove and supervised by a single teacher. “But a certain number may be needed for many years to come,” Malan said. “It is expensive ami impractical to run school busses to inaccessible areas to pick up a handful of children and haul them long distances to the consolidated school.” o SOVIET ACTION (Continued From Page One) war with any of the allies Will be subject to the provisions of this declaration and of any proclama-
