NEW YORK, June 28 (U. P.).— —Former President Herbert Hoover favors legislation consolidating “conflicting” government agencies into one adequate food administration. “If we are to end this food chaos and stop inflation of food prices,” he said, “the congress should pass at once the Fulmer bill, which provides for consolidation of the conflicting agencies.” Asserting that the country needs a “food manager, not a dictator,” Hoover said in a statement yesterday that “no responsible person has

USE OF SUBMARINES

LONDON, June 28 (U. P.).—Adolf Hitler may pull back his U-boats to defend the European coast when he becomes convinced he is losing the. battle of the Atlantic to escort craft and land-based allied planes, naval observers said today. One qualified observer said such a course probably had not yet been taken by the Germans since the submarine is chiefly a weapon for the destruction of shipping and any other use would be purely secondary. However, it was believed the Nazis are thinking of such usage in view of their increasing losses at sea.

WAR STRIKES FEW

IN GREAT BRITA

LONDON, ‘June 28 (U. PJs: Great Britain's tightly controlled. and relatively quiet labor situation’ appeared in sharp contrast today to that of America, where union '

leaders have voiced strong disaps proval of the anti-strike bill passed over President Roosevelt's veto. Since the war started labor lead« ers here have agreed to anti-strike legislation and the strike record of this war has stayed far below world war I. Observers believed several factorg entered into the attitude of Great Britain's labor chieftains. For one thing there was no single powerful man like John L. Lewis outside the general group which has been allowed a place in the coalition gov ernment. Two other major points also were seen as having a part: (1) Firm pegging of the level of prices and cost of living at a point considered fair by all groups and (2) the strong psychological reaction of British labor to the entry of Russia into the war.
