ARMY TESTS NEW MBAT E-RATIONS

. Camp Carson, Colo., | Soldiers

rs Exseriménting In Moun-

tains With Canned Meat, Bread and Fruits.

By DICK DETWILER Science Service Staff Writer

DENVER, Sept. 24 .—No more

This pet hate of combat G. Is is on the way out.

C-rations! Its place will

be taken by a new battle-front food assortment to be known as E-rations.

Superficially, E-ration resembles

" containing rations for one man for one day.

C-ratton. It is made up of six cans, But there's been some

changes made, Three outstanding ones are:

Canned baked bread—real white bread—instead of those (deleted by | censor) biscuits. Larger variety of meats. Addition of a can of fruit. A 30-day test of the new ration on troops of the Third battalion, 38th infantry is now in prog at Camp Carson, Colo.

Satisfactory Combat Diet Representatives of the quartermaster corps and the army surgeon general's office are coming to | the conclusion that it is the most

satisfactory individual combat diet| gent 23 There's a growing gripe |

yet developed. |

There aren't as many calories in the new E-ration'as in the old| C-ration, but this is offset by the | fact that soldiers used to throw, away items from the C-ration that | they didn't like. So the net result is likely to be more food actually! eaten out of the smaller package. The new ration, incidentally weighs just one-half ounce under four

¥ and one-half pounds.

Officers in charge of the test are not yet satisfied with the canned white bread, and have directed! that research continue for bread | that will meet specifications. The meat component includes chicken | and vegetables, meat and beans, frankfurters, meat and spaghetti, | hamburgers, and meat and noodles. The canned fruit assortment: comprises apricots, pineapple, peaches and fruit cocktail.

Troops’ Weight Increased

Although the experiments will] continue until Oct. 1, certain conclusions have already been reached. | Weight increases and improvement in physical fitness have been noted | in all groups, regardless of diet. | The new E-ration is conceded to] be monotonous. Test officers point | out, however, that the E-ration is| not designed for a steady diet, week ! in and week out, but for (at most) 15 days in combat. Although the test groups have been undergoing strenuous training in mountain climbing and paste) mountain tactics,.Dr. Johnson does not consider the experiment a fair test of the ration under combat conditions. ‘For example, it has not!

parachute drop.

In general, however, represen

tives of the quartermaster nis

believe that it has every advantage of the C-ration and has eliminated many of the gisagvariages

Wallace Off U. His Hybrid Cor

By GEORGE THIEM Times Special Writer

DES MOINES, Sept, 24.—Henry! Wallace may be off the government | payroll but. he doesn't have tol worry, His private income in greater | than that of the President of the United States. Here in the former secretary's home state there is a wide split of opinion on his explosive criticism | of the government's policy toward | Russia. But all are agreed that Mr. Wallace today is a man of con- | siderable wealth. He was the first to develop the | once-ridiculed hybrid corn com-| mercially and himself put the best inbred strains in the business. Today the hybrid seed corn industry is a fabulous moneymaker.

Mr. Wallace is said to. derive an

wear from dividends and royalties |

The company also has built an ‘ex-! tensive business in hybrid chickens which in time may rival its seed corn in boosting production,

‘POOR TAG RILES VIRGIN ISLAND

.Complain U. . Ignors ' Year's $23,787,000 Take.

By STEPHEN TRUMBULL Times Foreign Correspondent

ST. THOMAS, Virgin ats,

here over the tag of “America's poorhouse” that Herbert Hoover

hung on these islands in one of his |

lighter moments. With a little rudimentary arithmetic and a thought that has escaped most Virgin islanders will show how these islands are paying some 23 times over for the $1,000,000 each year in federal funds that are spent here. The figuring is done around the rum barrels and cases, ‘which have been moving into the United States in increasing amounts in these days of cut whiskey. The U. 8. treasury collects $9 on

ieach proof gallon made for main-

land consumption. In the year 1944, the dast year for which complete custom returns are. tabulated here, that $9 was collected. on each of 2,643,000 proof gallons, a total of $23.787,000—which from anyone's ‘poorhouse.” The gripe over the manner in which this contribution is ignored

grows louder as they look just over

the western horizon at that other island where the American flag flies —Puerto Rico. The same $9 is colected there on a lot more millions "of gallons—bu! Uncle Whiskers doesn't even have the fun of fondling those bills for a little while. They are transferred right back to the insular government of Puerto Rico. Virgin islanders will tell you that | with the same treatment—or just {a small part theyeof—they would have the finest “poorhouse” the | world has. ever seen.

"WANT TO START A GAMBLING CASINO?

Chauvet, editor and publisher of Le Nouvelliste, leading newspaper here But whether Chauvet speaks tor the government is something no one can tell. ; “What Haiti wants,” Chauvet declared emphatically, “is a gami bling casino and fine hotel on the seashore just outside this city “We'll give the concession to-any

American hotel firm which will build a'$2,600,000 hotel “Furthermore,” he continued

“we will give the American firm the land for nothing. And the Haitian | government will guarantee the investment by agreeing to pay 2. or 3 per cent interest on that ine vestment in case the hotel doesn't make money.”
