RULE NOT AIMED

AT MARTHUR

Stimson Denies ‘Public Office’ Regulation Is General One. WASHINGTON, April 8 (U.P). — The war “department regulation barring men on active duty from running for public office was not

directed at Gen. Douglas MacArthur _ or any other individual, Secretary

of War Henry L. Stimson declared

today. . Stimson told his press conference the regulation issued Feb. 25 represented merely a recodification of policies and rulings already in effect. He said the successful prosecution of the war demanded that military personnel have no diverting or extraneous interests. An exception—to permit soldiers on active duty to accept re-election with the approval of the war department to offices already held— was designed so that public officials whose pensions or retirement benefits would be sacrificed would not be subjected to hardships. Stimson said the regulations had not been discussed with the White House, : The secretary of war declared the regulation would not preclude the possibility that a member of the service ‘might be discharged or placed on the retired list in order to run for office, depending on the merits and particulars of the individual case.

FORMER DAVIS GUP ~ STAR IS INDUCTED

LOS ANGELES, April 8 (U.P.).— Henry W, (Bunny) Austin, former English Davis Cup star and moral rearmament worker, was inducted into the army today for keeps, after 24 hours of indecision caused by doctors who reconsidered his case. Breaking a silence which had surrounded the ex-sports ace’s induction for the past week since his case was transferred here from New York, Austin re-emphasized his belief that his “morale” work with the

MRA was sufficient grounds for deferment. Austin had been deferred for a time, buf reconsideration of his case resulted in orders for his induction, along with other “morale” workers of the group.

CHINA FACING WORST FAMINE

Sufferers Eat Grass, Bark

As Crops Fail in Honan' Province.

CHENGTU, April 8 (U. P.).—| Travelers from Honan province told today of a famine so serious that many sufferers have eaten grass and the bark from trees to keep alive. Crops have failed, villages have been deserted and food prices have

reached prohibitive levels when food is available at all rding to these reports from thé densely peopled area of central eastern China at the edge of the great plain. The Honan famine may become the worst in China’s history unless widespread relief measures are taken to feed and relocate millions of persons, according to W. W, Alley of Chinese industrial co-operatives who has just completed a survey of the famine areds for United China Relief. “Alley, considered one of the bes qualified experts on Chinese living conditions, reported that 10,000,000 persons are affected by the famine. He warned that “millions will die” if evacuation of starving people is not begun at once.

Alley suggested that refugees from |

Honan’s great agricultural sections should “walk” to the great, thinlypeopled area of Kansu, Chinghai and Ningsia provinces to the northwest. He said that more than 600,000 famine refugees already has passed through Sian, capital of Shensi province, but that “there are tens of thousands too weak to move and there will soon be more.”

{ Milkman May Leave Butter and Cheese if Your Not Home.

IF YOU'RE going to be out when the milkman comes, he still can leave cheese and butter under an arrangement announced today by OPA. Advance payment of the points for home deliveries of butter and cheese by dairymen or salesmen operating mobile conveyances over a regular route is agreeable to the OPA. If you are one. of those housewives who order butter and cheese ahead of time, or who don’t get up before the milkman, or are gone at the time of his usual call— well, you can give him the ration stamps for the food ahead of time. For example, you can tell the milkman that you want a pound of butter left Thursday and can give the deliveryman eight currently valid stamps to cover the delivery. If he is unable to fill all or part of the order, he must return a ration check to you for the difference. ol In that case, you take the check to a local rationing board and exchange it for a certificate which will be good for any foods covered by the meats and fats program.
