By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Recognizing the fact that child health is of utmost importance despite looming food shortages, war food administration will soon announce the school lunch program for the coming year in which six million American school children will receive nutritious free lunches at a total cost of $50,Local sponsors, such as P.

Whiteside, vice chairman for civilian requirements declares that “Dollar Days” and similar special sales events are contrary to the WPB policy declaration and are closely allied to “buy now” forms of promotion.

To Keep a

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Times Special Writer

\ War places an unusual strain on adaptability. The energy to accomplish useful work is one of the most important qualities that man possesses, and in order that this energy may find fuller scope, it must be augmented by the ability to adapt oneself to the environment. In this country the changes have not been great, but the enormous effort expended and the magnitude of this war must inevitably

§ bring more change. Ten or 11 millions of our citizens are now adjusting HierpSelvas to stresses of mili- : TRE * tary life, with ° {its disciplines, : its extremes of iclimate and geography, and its necessary objective—to kill the : enemy. : On the home : front, the j stresses consist of increased work, reduced rest, numerous minor inconveniences which must be borne in good spirit, and apprehension for the safety of those who are in the fighting. There is a peculiar strain and frustration attached to bearing the burden of monotony, in feeling one’s distance from the focus of crises in which close friends and relatives have an active part, and these problems must be faced frankly.

Effect of Mental Strain

Phychological strains most frequently disturb the function of the gastro-intestinal tract. Everyone is familiar with some acute aspect of this relationship. "The sight of a repulsive object often causes nausea; fear may produce diarrhea. The pressures of less obvious psychological and emotional strains are frequently not felt. In the average person, time is the physician that heals, because the stresses are rarely constant. Those who are predisposed to

( Here's One Political Party Hard Up for Candidates

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. 3 (U.

Leaders of the Progressive party are Henry Henzel, a machine operin a war plas, and Warren £ employee.

more difficult and complex problems. The military group is carefully selected for its task, and those who have little capacity for adaptation have been rejected when recognized. On the home front, the energy level is somewhat lower and despite the less pronounced strains to which they are subjected, some difficulties may develop.

Guard Against ‘Jitters’

The necessity of meeting suddenly new situations, or of coping with distressing news causes many people to become tense, trembly and emotional. These “jitters” frequently result in sleeplessness, headache, nausea, lack of appetite and increased fatigue. The treatment consists in rest and brief change of environment, which will aid in making it possible to view the situation with some perspective. Above all, the understanding of the stresses and their logical sequellae is infinitely desirable. Some may feel that they are coddling themselves in adopting such program, but it is the best ammunition to use against a condition which will otherwise restrict one’s capacity to do good and useful work. A realization that these times are likely to place great strain on the psychological and emotional systems must be countered by an effort to neutralize the effects. Adequate rest, some diversion and recreation, a comprehension of the stresses, and free discussion of the problems that ensue will minimize the strains.

Stamps 15 and 16 are each good for five pounds through Oct. 31. As fruit ripens, application may be made at local boards for additional allotments up to 15 pounds per person if needed.

‘POST-WAR JOBS INDUSTRY TASK’

NAM Head Says Adequate Reserves Are Needed

For Reconversion.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 (U. P.)— Private industry accepts from President Roosevelt its nomination as the source of post-war jobs for soldiers, Frederick C. Crawford, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, said in a statement today. Interpreting the president's speech proposing a mustering out allowance to mean that Mr. Roosevelt did not except the government to make jobs for returning servicemen, Crawford said. “Private industry unhesitatingly accepts from the presidents this nomination as job-giver.” He demanded that tax and labor policies be changed in order to carry out such a post-war program. “The first necessary step to postwar jobs is to make it possible for industry to accumulate sufficient funds to reconvert, as the president forecast last week, ‘from a war economy to a peacetime operation,” Crawford said.

Asks Labor Policy Change

“The earnings which industry should set aside to pay for this reconversion and for the resumption of peacetime operations are being taxed away or renegotiated away from private industry almost as fast as they are earned. Unless industry can first bring together the money which must be employed, it cannot bring together the men who want employment. “Further, in view of the growth of the monopolistic practices among labor, there is need for the congress to change the economic eclimate by establishing a fair labor policy for the nation.” He proposed that industry confer with the president and members of congress on a post-war employment program.

SUBSIDIES WILL COST BILLIONS, SAYS BYRD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (U. P.).— Senator Harry F. Byrd (D. Va.) said today that the $34,000,000 spent by the reconstruction finance corpora-

tion during the first nine weeks of the roll-back subsidies was only the beginning of a program which, when fully under way, would cost billions. The RFC report indicates payments below the administration’s estimates,” he said. “But they're just getting their noses under the tent now, and by the time they gel all the way inside, the roll-back subsidy will cost the taxpayers billions of dollars.” RFC yesterday said it had paid out $9,013929 for nine weeks of butter subsidizing and $25,000,329 for seven weeks on meat subsidies. This outlay was at the rate of approximately $214500,000 a year. Subsidy proponents had estimated that roll-backs on meat, butter and coffee would cost $450,000,000 a year.

CITY’S SANITATION ENGINEER RESIGNS

Sanitation Engineer D. O. Bender has left the city sanitation plant to accept a post in private industry, Plant Manager Donald Bloodgood announced today. An engineer in the sanitation department for 14 years, Mr. Bender, according to Mr. Bloodgood, “is one of the few men in this area acquainted with the sludge method of decomposing sewage. His resignation, said the sanitation plant head, “places the sewage disposal setup under a terrific strain.” The job pays $3135 a year.

RUBBER WORKERS’ PAY HIKE APPROVED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (U. P.) — The war labor board today granted a three-cents an hour wage increase, retroactive to Oct. 31, 1942, to 2000 production and maintenance workers at the Akron, O, plant of the General Tire & Rubber Co. In awarding the increase, the board said its action was taken to correct maladjustments in wage rates under the “little steel” formula and to compensate for night work. It said that the increase was in line with the WLB program of wage stabilization throughout the rubber industry as set forth in the May 21 decision on the “big four” rubber case.

Said The Tribune of its poll: “Indiana Democrats willing to express themselves frankly and freely are for a fourth term for President Roosevelt. This does not mean all Indiana Democrats but, based on carefully prepared reports from each of Indiana's 11 districts,” it seems to indicate a majority. “While some do not like the president's ideas on rationing, subsidies and other methods, a feeling appears to exist among many Democrats that he has done a satisfactory job in connection with the war and they overlook his shortcomings and favor his renomination and re-election. Other Democrats, not new deal followers, are greatly displeased with the president and would like to see a change.” = 2 ”

MORE WOOLENS FOR CIVILIANS PROMISED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (U. P).— The war production board today predicted increased production of

woolexn apparel for civilians, provided military reruirements do not exceed current estimates. The announcement followed yesterday’s reassuring WPB statement on the wool situation that clothes rationing is now “even more remote” than previously. To increase output, however, the WPB pointed out, manufacturers will have to utilize existing manpower and facilities with maximum efficiency and reduce the variety in colors and yarn counts. There will be no reduction in quantity, the WPB said. Accent will be on “familiar, popular and practical types” of woolens, the statement said. “Frivolous uses of wool” are out for the duration, although color or construction limitations will be imposed only when total output can be increased.

had found a majority of Indiana rm for President Roosevelt.

Said one: “The only expressions favorable to Roosevelt a fourth time are from many labor Democrats. Business Democrats are against. Many who voted one and two times quit at a third. , . . Never was the public so illhumored toward the president as now because of rationing, the coal strike and subsidy payments. Indianapolis and Marion county would go Republican.” The other Indianapolis Democrat questioned had just the opposite to say. “I find,” he said, ‘that the rank and file of people are for the president for a fourth term. I inquire of men in service and they think the president is doing a good job and should be retained. Most business people feel as if we would be in a terrible situation rif anything would happen to Roosevelt. Party workers and officials are in accord on a fourth term for the president.”

And he undoubtedly will have a good chance to do some evangelical work. For large numbers of Hoosiers and even delegations from other parts of the country are scheduled to call on him at his Rushville home.

The civil service commission is investigating Bovingdon’s personal history, but this is a routine procedure for all newly hired wartime employees of the government. He correlates information on the labor situation in Japan where he taught for three years.

POST-WAR JOBS

Says G. 0. P. Program Will Provide Employment

For Veterans.

BRAZIL, Ind, Aug. 3 (U, P.).== Rep. Gerald W. Landis (R. Ind.) predicts that the Republican party will have a post-war program ready, at the end of the war which will provide employment for the men in the armed forces without dis rupting the economic life of the nation. Rep. Landis spoke last night bee fore a meeting of the Clay County Republican Women's organization, The congressman said : “The New Deal's plan of hold

receive a job would not be suce cessful under their leadership ace cording to their past acomplishe ments.”

Dislikes ‘Cradle-to-Grave’

Rep. Landis proposed to carry ou post-war readjustment by “replace ing government bureaucracy by pris vate enterprise.” The “cradle-to= the-grave” platform, he said, was a plan to centralize more power in Washington and would be the eco nomic ruin of every home owner in the country. Demanding that voters sweep the Democratic administration from ofe fice in 1944, Landis said, “I predict the food shortage next year, due to the New Deal's scarcity programy will be the end of the New Deal.”

ELKHART, Ind, Aug. 3 (U. P.), —Senator Raymond E. Willis (R, Ind.) demanded last night that the government be “returned to the people” as he criticized the “extenw sive bureaucracy which has grown up in federal government.” Speaking before the Elkhart Roe tary club, Willis said the New Deal has 32,600 persons on the federal pay =oll in Indiana compared tQ@ the 15,040 employed by the state.

Another urgent appeal has been issued by Harry E. Yockey, Indiane apolis civilian defense director, for additional volunteers for police and firemen’s auxiliary reserves. Police Chief Clifford Beeker and Fire Chief Harry H.
