SPEEDY TRUCE CUTS SPOILAGE

But Officials Fear Effects Of Strike on Famine Relief Shipments.

. By GRANT DILLMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 27. — Domestic food distribution climbed swiftly back toward normal today, But officials said the two-day rail strike had left a critical gap in America’s relief shipments overseas. Agriculture department marketing experts said the quick end of the transportation tie-up prevented any mass spoilage among an estimated 45,000 carloads of food which had been stranded over the nation’s railroad network. The experts said Americans will find nearly normal supplies of fruit and vegetables on retail shelves immediately. : Meat may be more scarce than usual for a week or 10 days, however, because during the week preceding the walkout railroads. accepted only livestock certain to reach its destination. At least a half week’s livestock run will have to be made up: The disruption of normal food deliveries will be felt least in southern and mid-Atlantic cities where fresh fruit and. vegetables were being trucked in. Northern cities may have to get along with a little less for a few days.. Elect More Serious Officials said the effect of the strike on this country’s famine re-| lief program would be far more serious, v8 “Food desperately needed overseas won't get there,” one agriculture department official said. UNRRA Director Fiorello H. La Guardia said the strike delayed the sailing of 12 grain ships. It also held up 38 other vessels carrying 220,000 tons of UNRRA supplies, he said, in addition to stalling 300,000 tons of relief supplies on the rails. It was estimated that between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 bushels of government export wheat also were stuck in bulging northwestern grain elevators. Meanwhile, Former President Herbert Hoover was en route to Mexico City on the first leg of a swing through Central and South America, He will try to get exporting nations to step up shipments and importing countries to cut consumption.
