DISCRIMINATION

Forrestal Issues Order on Return of Troops.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 (U.P)

Secretary of Navy James Forrestal

has taken special steps to end any|’

discrimination because of “race” or

color” in the return of overseas].

troops by the navy, it was learned today. ‘In a directive to all ships and sta-

tions. Mr, Forrestal ordered naval| personnel to “adhere rigidly” to reg-|

ulations aimed at preventing discrimination.

His order followed a yeoent re-|

port that Negro troops had been left at Le Havre, France, by the escort carrier Croatan because it lacked “suitable accommodations.” The army sajd the navy was responsible for the decision not to ship the Negro troops aboard the Croatan. Mr. Forrestal said his order was issued to avoid “any future misunderstanding.” “No Differential” “In the administration of naval personnel,” the directive said, “no differential shall be made because of race or color. This applies also to authorized personnel of all the armed services of this country aboard navy ships or at navy sta~ tions and activities. “In their attitude and day-to- day conduct -of - affairs, naval officers and enlisted men shall adhere rigidly and impartially to naval regulations in which no distinction is made . . . because of race or color.” Meanwhile, navy weather experts

predicted that Atlantic weather

conditions which have hampered

troop returns since late October will

become more severe during January and February. They said Atlantic weather conditions this season have been the worst in more than 20 years.

FOOD SUPPLY MAY IMPROVE IN 1946

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (U. P.).—

Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins (R. O.)

is adding a big “if” to a prediction that Americans will eat better, and

probably more cheaply, in ‘19486.

‘ The prediction was made by Paul 8. ‘Wilis, president of the Grocery Manufacturers of America. Mr.

Willis said civilians will have about 11 per cent more food in 1946 than

before the war.

At the same time, he said, the agriculture department expects food

prices to drop about five per cent.

Supplies generally will be greater : fats and ‘oils will remain scarce, he said. Mr. Jenkins said, however, that the 19046 food picture depends on whether congress continues price He is chairman of the house Republican food study com-

mittee.

In a radio address last night, Mr. Jenkins protested that many government officials still hold to the “unnatural. doctrine of enforced scarcities” and that many shortages result from “fallacious policies and unwise and inefficient admin-

stration. . . .”

He said butter is scarce because *the price of butter fat 4s higher than the price of butter.” The,

sugar shortage resulted, he said,

from an “unwise attempt to fix

prices.” -

2600 SHIPS T0 60 IN ‘STORAGE’

Navy Plans. to eto Pl Inactive Fleet in 14 Ports.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (U. P.)~ The navy plans to place approximately 2600 ships, including battle{ships and large carriers, in its "inactive fleet, it was learned today. |The inactive ships will be based at {14 Atlantic and Pacific coastal ports. The huge job of placing the ships lon a standby basis already has been started by the navy but will not be completed until at least September of next year, Ships scheduled to join the inactive fleet include the battleships |New Mexico, California, Tennessee, South Dakota, Colorado, Maryland and West Virginia. Large carriers include the Wasp, Hancock, Essex, Yorktown, Intrepid, Hornet, Ticonderoga, Lexington, Bunker Hill and the Bon Homme Richard. Under the navy’s “storing” process, the entire fleet could be ready for action within 30 days. The ships’ above-water steel surfaces are covered with a rust-preventing com-

| {

Guns, searchlights, windlasses, ammunition lockers and deck machinery are covered with a plastic film which can be easily peeled off

addition to covering the outer exposed surfaces and equipment, the navy has developed a low-cost ma(chine which dehumidifies. ships’ |inner compartments. When the ships have been preserved by these methods, the navy believes that only five men will need to be associated to each vessel for maintenance and security watches. Ships Being Readied Now Officers of the navy's bureau of ships disclose that about 400 ships {currently are being readied on both {coasts to undergo the standby proc- | ess. Under current plans officers said | | about 1300 ships on each coast | would be completely out of action by next September,

|away still are on activé duty as part {of the navy’s co-cdlled “magic car|pet” fleet which is engaged in re{turning veterans to the United States. | In order to accomplish the huge | job the navy has set up the 16th {fleet on the Atlantic coast under (command of Rear Adm. O. M. Read. | To direct Pacific operations the 19th {fleet .has been created under comImand of Rear Adm. W. A. Kiljpateick.
