.. | ries in proportion to the amount of
labor spent in raising them. Pork, beans and both white and sweet potatoes are in the. middle group. Beef, cabbage, peas, celery, tomatoes and a long string of other foods, including chickens-and eggs, are costly in labor ‘time, and when labor is scarce they become 'luxuries .in.some ‘degree. Observers of the rural landscape think the contracting system probably would work for the staples, but not for luxuries or semi-lux-uries,- because of the enormous detail involved in managing these.
‘| Wheat moves in a sufficiently small
number of grades and through few enough channels that they believe the government agencies ‘would begin there. As they got down the scale into the foods of higher labor costs they would run into vast complications of grading, perishability, market outlets and so on, the number of which have made it difficult to keep down the growth of black markets. As some of them visualize :1it, most of the direct buyers of farm produce would be made : officers of the government, much as the officers of coal mining companies are today under government operation of the mines. The adminis- ’| tration on the farmers’ side ‘would be carried on by thousands of local committees. The ‘Commodity A Credit Corp. would . contract through the local committees with millions of individual farmers for specific amounts] of production, at prices to be specified in the agreements, probably, it is said, 100 per cent of parity. ‘They would have no market risks, although if their production failed to come up to:the. amounts they undertook to raise, they would be unable to make as much money as they "had hoped.

New Food Plan, With U.S. Only Buyer, Being Studied
By JOHN W. LOVE Times Special Writer CLEVELAND, O,, Aug. 30.—The grand plan for food and farmers, said to be lying on President Roosevelt's desk, would make it: possible : for the government to switch us off of beef and into a diet of bread, breakfast food, beans and similar victuals.’ If the. government contracted for the major foodstuffs- and. closed| out private trading between the farmers and the elevators, country buyers

lieve : the farmers probably would accept the program, in general, if the prices were fixed at a higher average than they have been running. A ‘means of coereliig farmers who
preferred to remain outside the plan and sell their produce at whatever the market would bring, might be found by requiring farmers to show certificates of compliance : before they could buy: supplies or hire labor through the employment offices. - The Commodity Credit Corp. would. then be in a position to sell the grain and other products through the regular channels of the food trades, at prices lower than it paid for them if this were necessary to hold down the cost of living. The plan is too vast, too global even, for an estimate to be made on its chance of success.
PART-TIME JOBS OFFERED LOCALLY
Men are needed to fill part-time jobs : now open in Indianapolis, Harry E. Hoffman, local manager of the -U. S. Employment service, an agency of the war manpower commission said today. “These: jobs should appeal especially to. office workers who would like to devote four hours extra aday to the war. effort,” Mr. Hoffman said.” “Previous .industrial experience is not necessary, and the working hours will not conflict with the regular job.” The jobs now: available are in ac4 tivities - directly related to the war and men who take such jobs can be sure that they are helping to solve an urgent manpower problem, he said . It is anticipated that the demand for part-timers will increase during the next several weeks. Consequently persons who will be able to accept such employment should register immediately with the USES, 148 E. Market st. If they are not interested in or qualified for the jobs now open, Mr. Hoffman said, they will be notified as additional openings occur.

Claim It will Increase Speed Of Airplanes 25° to 50 Per Cent.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30 (U. P.).—A new secret fuel—Triptahe— may: shorten the war by giving the united nations tactical superiority in the air, Dr. Gustav Egloff, president of the American Institute of
Cheniistry, said today. Discovered by Dr. Vladimir Haensel of the Massachusetts Institute
N. Ipatieff, director of Russian chemical research during the last
war, the‘fuel is expected to increase |€©
airplane speed and power by 25 to 50 per cent. “It is no exaggeration to say that our planes, fueled with this new gasoline, would have the enemy
as much at their mercy as if they |M
were roosting pigeons,” Egloff told the regional meeting of the National Association - of Manufacturers. He said that nothing prevents immediate use of triptane except re-design of plane engine cylinders
to withstand the increased power, | goo
and the engines can be re-designed by making the cylinders smaller and heavier, The present cost of triptane is less than $1 per gallon. -It was perfected . by: the Universal Oil Products Co. of Chicago, of which Egloff is research director, “There are no practical obstacles in the way of immediate production of triptane in quantities,” Egloft said. “The raw materials are gases available in current petroleum refining; the catalysts are in ordinary use, and the temperatures and pressures are well within the limits of refinery experience.”
F.D. R, MAY DEFEND STATE DEPARTME
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (U. —President velt, who is ee pected to anhounce this week the resignation of Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, will have as background two, vigorous defenses of state department policy.
Assistant Secretary of State Adolf|
A, Berle Jr., in a letter made public last night, denounced “certain wild
foreign policy and denied charges that the state department has rebuffed leaders of free movements in axis-controlled nations. He said that United States’ policy was keyed to plans for a democratic solution in occupied and enemy countries “as and when the people of those countries shall be free to speak.” . Two days earlier, Secretary of State Cordell Hull declared that certain writers and commentators were guilty of “inaccuracies” in dis-
