GALLED ACCIDENTAL

ERLANGEN, Germany, May 20 (U, P.).—Army criminal investigation division agents were “perfectly satisfled” yesterday that the killing of two soldiers on the staff of .the army newspaper, Stars and Stripes, was an accidefit . The agents continued to withhold pertinent facts. But they said Pfc. James C. De Vone, a North Carolina negro, who admitted firing the. fatal shots, was not shooting at the jeep in which T/4 Paul R. Shelton and S/Sgt. William Timmins were killed on the night of May 10, : They refused to say what De Vone was shooting at until their investigation was finished. The two soldiers weére killed while they, another soldier and three girls—one Briton and two Americans—were riding through a. Nuernberg suburb in a jeep.

One of “the strongest factors in nourish Am 's curren inflation is the tremendous amount of ishing Serious Suse} citizens have piled up. In 1945, according to the Securities and Exchange commission, these totaled over $37,000,000,000 for the third successive year. This is about $286 per capita, and more than four times the amount of savings in the peak pre-war boom year of 1929, Strong desire of great numbers of people to spend their savings for goods creates a terrific pressure on price ceilings,

Figures on the lower map show his estimate of the food import needs of these nations

Hoover points out that cereals, particularly wheat and rice, are the

primary need, as they can furnish 85 per cent of emergency diet. Note that there is a deficit of 3,587,000 tons between food available and total amount needed.
