TOWN AND FARM IN WAD TIME (Continued from Page 1) use of the checks is especially serious, it was pointed out, because a single check often involves a large quantity of rationed goods. “This particular racket is a serious threat to OpA’s entire fair distribution program and must be wiped out promptly, Mr. Bowles said. Methods used by the racketeers already arrested in bogus ration check operations include the issuing of checks bearing forged signatures or names of fictitious persons, the opening of wholesaler or industrial user bank accounts for the purpose of indiscriminate issuing of checks and the building up of bank credit by phony deposits of shortweight envelopes containing the worthless paper or counterfeit stamps along with some valid St Funds Allocated for Tenant purchase Loans Allocations among the states and territories of half of the $50,000,000 authorized for the Farm Administration’s Tenant Purchase Loans for the next 12 months have been announced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The remaining $225,000,000 is earmarked for loans to World War II veterans and will be made available wherever the demand for the loan occurs. The allocated funds distributed on the basis of farm population and the prevalence of tenancy, will be used in the regular FSA program under which loans are made to tenants, sharecroppers, and farm laborers for the purchase of family size farms. Congress increased these funds by $10,000,000 over last year. The loans, made under the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937, can cover the full purchase price of a family farm. They are repayable over a 40year period and bear -three per cent interest on unpaid principal. One requirement applicants must meet to obtain a loan is inability to get adequate credit from other sources on reasonable terms. An exceptiofi to this is made only in the case of veterans who. Show a need for the type of vocational guidance offered by FSA. No More All-Rubber Tires— No more tires will be manufactured entirely of natural rubber, W. James Sears Deputy Director of WPB’s .Rubber Bureau, reported as additional steps to conserve America’s dwindling stockpile of natural rubber were announced. “Every pound of natural rubber “must be reserved for products that cannot be made of adequate quality by using synthetic rubber”, Sears said. Consumer Prospects for Wearing 'Apparel—To assure continued production of nine kinds of coats and overcoats for men, women and children, manufacturers will be granted priorities assistance in obtaining woolen knitted fabrics in the third and succeeding quarters, WPB said. The coats and overcoats for which priorities assistance will be granted are: women’s, misses’

and juniors’ coats, teen age girls’ coats, girls’ coats, children’s coats, toddlers’ coats, infants’ coats, boys’ finger tip coats, men’s ulster and double breasted overcoats, and men’s basic model overcoats. A WPB order, effective in May, covering distribution of textiles to manufacturers helping tojbring back medium and lower-priced garments to dealers’ shelves by late summer, said Kenneth W. Marriner, Director of WPB’s Textile Bureau. Cloth allocation was made to provide for three civilian groups—children, workers and that group of adults whose annual earnings do not allow them to accumulate wardrobes. Special consideration was given to children’s garments over adult needs.

Maternity Care for Servicemen’s Wives—Eight hundred fifty thousand wives and infants of servicemen have received care or are receiving care under the Emergency Maternity and Infantcare Program, the Children’s Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor announced. In May alone, 44,000 new cases were authorized for care. Through this program, which is administered by State Health Departments, under plans approved by the Children’s Bureau, complete maternity care, including medical and hospital service, is provided for wives of servicemen, and medical and hospital care is available for their infants until they are one year of age. This care is provided for the wives and infants of enlisted men without cost to the men or their families and without regard to their financial status. Those eligible are wives and infants of men in the four lowest pay grades of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps and of Army and Navy Aviation Cadets. Care is authorized with-' out regard to race or place of residence. Applications for this care can be made through the physician accepting the case or through state or local health ofl flees. Inquiries should be adI dressed to .State Departments of | Health. Protein Foods for children.— I Everything that meat has that i children need in their diet fortunately is available in other ! foods that are more plentiful, ■nutritionists for the Children’s Bureau, U. S. Department of Lajbor, assure mothers who are j having difficulty finding meat, | the department said. Used in j the right combination, these foods will supply meat nutrients, chief of which is high-quality protein. For instance, the protein found in liver sausage, frankfurter, tongue and canned luncheon meat, which are more likely to be available than other (kinds of meat, compares favorably with that found in#a prime rib roast. If, however, the butcher’s counter is bare, other foods can be counted on to supply the protein a child needs, the department said, in the following ways: The quart of milk a day that many children have supplies all the protein needed during the first year of life, three-fourths of the needs for children between 1 and 3 yeast old, and at least half the needs for those up to the age of thirteen years. All kinds of cheese, including cottage cheese, are relatively concentrated sources of high-grade protein. Each egg that goes into the daily meals supplies protein. Fish is on a par with meat as to quantity and quality °of protein. Dried beans and beans supply enough protein so that they can be used now and then in place of meat.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS (Continued from Page 1) way transportation rights through Manchuria. CABINET CHANGES: Morgenthau No. 6 The resignation of Secretary ol the Treasury Henry Morgenthau marked the sixth member of President Truman’s official family whe has severed his ties with the cabi net. The five who preceded him were Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, Postmaster General Frank Walker, Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wicard, Attorney-Genera) Francis Biddle and Secretary ol State Edward Stettinius. Successors to all five have assumed their offices. Secretary Morgenthau’s resignation was accompanied almosl simultaneously by the resignation ol Associate Justice Owen D. Roberts from the Supreme court. This was the first resignation from the high tribunal in President Truman’s term, but unlike those of the cabi-net,-it was 'not expected to set a precedent for others. Justice Roberts, appointed by President Hoover had served 15 years on the Supreme court. One of his most notable public services was performed as head of the committee that investigated the Pearl Harbor disaster. PHILIPPINES: Springboard for Tokyo In one of the proudest moments of his thrill-studded career, Gen. Douglas MacArthur proclaimed that the Philippine Islands had been won back ‘‘in the greatest disaster ever sustained by Japanese arms.” The doughty American commander announced that the islands’ 115,600 square miles are being transformed into bases “comparable to the British Islands” to pace the march on Tokyo. The saga of the Philippines triumph disclosed that in 250 days ol campaigning, 17 American divisions defeated 23 Jap divisions in- “one ol the rare instances when ... a ground force superior in numbers was entirely destroyed by a numerically inferior opponent.” It was estimated that 420,000 Japanese were slaughtered, including such hated outfits as the 16th Imperial division which had tortured American and Filipino prisoners in the “Death March” of 1942 following the fall of Bataan. FOOD: Europe Must Speed Output A blunt warning to the liberated nations of Western Europe to speed up their own food production because relief shipments from abroad may fall short of expectation has been delivered, according to Dennis A. Fitzgerald, United States deputy on the combined food board. Officials of the nations involved have been told that “they’d bettei start pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps and use every conceivable device to increase their production,” Fitzgerald disclosed. Liberated countries have been assured that vigorous efforts are being made to give them all assistance possible, he said, but they have also been reminded that the United States "still has a full-sized war in the Pacific” which will get first call on our own food stocks. By~ far the largest share of relief shipments to Europe will be -composed of wheat and flour, Fitzgerald reported. Approximately 650,000 bushels of wheat are, expected to go out from the U. S. anc Canada. ; - ir ~~- specifications and any addenda thereto.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING: Governors Hear Plans Pleas for support of a system of universal military training after the war were made to the 37th annual governors’ conference at Mackinac island by Gen. George C. Marshall, army chief of staff, and Adm. Ernest King, chief of the U. S. fleet Meeting with the state executives to report on the progress of the war on Japan, the top leaders of the army and navy pictured universal military training as essential to the future safety of the United States. The two chieftains warned that if there should be another world war, It would come swiftly, without time or opportunity to train a large army. Maintenance of a strong national guard with a large reserve maintained through universal training would keep the United States prepared, they declared, without the necessity of a large standing army. ATLANTIC AIR: O. K’d for Three Lines Certificates authorizing the operation of air transportation routes across the North Atlantic were issued to three United States air carriers by the Civil Aeronautic* board. The companies are Pan-American Airways, Inc., Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc., and the American Air Lines, Inc. Terminal points designated by the board include New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and Detroit. The certificates authorizing the new services were limited to a term of seven years “in order that the operations thereunder, after a reasonable period, may be reviewed.” The action of the Civil Aeronautics board was approved by President Truman. BERLIN: G.l.s Take Over Area As Maj. Gen. Nikolai N. Barinov, soviet commander in Berlin, formally turned the American occupation zone in the German capital over to Gen. Omar N. Bradley, the American flag was raised over the Adolf Hitler barracks. A 4,000 vehicle convoy brought the American forces from Halle to the Zehlendorf area of war battered Berlin which will comprise the U. S. zone of occupation. American veterans of World War II entered the former Nazi stronghold as conquerrors,- returning the smart salutes of Red army traffic police,. For the duration of the occupation of the Reich by Allied armies, Berlin was to be jointly in the hands of the Russians, the Americans and the British. The British generally will control the northwest area of the city, including the localities of Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf. WAR PRODUCTION: 96,359 Planes A forecast of the enormous American industrial capacity for postwar years was given by J. A. Krug, War Production board chairman, in a review of production results by war plants since the summer of 1943. The United States produced 45 per cent of the world’s munitions in 1944, Mr. Krug’s report disclosed. “In 1944 the country produced 96,359 airplanes, including 16,048 heavy bombers, built 30,889 ships, 17,565 tanks, 595,330 army trucks, and produced 3,284 heavy field guns and howitzers and 7,454 light ones, 152, 000 army aircraft rocket launchers, 215,177 bazookas and 1,146,774 tons of ground artillery ammunition,” the report declared. STARVATION STATION: Discovered in Bavaria The grisly discovery of a Nazi “scientific starvation” station which was claiming children and adult victims until recently was reported by two public health officials of the American Military government in Bavaria. The arrest of 4 German doctors and 3 hospital attendants at the station in the Kadfbeuren area, 45 miles southeast of Munich, preceded the announcement. One woman confessed killing 211 children for which' she drew extra compensation, the announcement said. LEGION: Backs U. N. Charter Full support of the 1,600,000 members of the American Legion, including veterans of both World wars was pledged to the United Nations charter when National Commander Edward Schiqberling urged the senate to ratify the pact. Schieberling set forth his view* in a letter to all members of the senate. "The American Legion feels that the San Francisco charter is an honest and able attempt to create a workable association of free and sovereign nations,” the letter declared, “implemented with force to maintain peace and prevent recurrence of war. It is obvious that it is the best and only charter that can be produced at this time." NAVAL LOSSES The loss of two American destroyers and one submarine was reported by the navy department. The destroyers were the William D. Porter and the Twiggs. Jap aerial attacks sank the destroyers off Okinawa six apart, the navy reported. Casualties totaled 244. Os these, 183 were suffered by the Twiggs in a surprise attack that blew off the ship’s bow. Sixty-one wounded comprised the entire casualty list of the Porter, hit by an enemy suicide dive bomber.
