1 Wherry Predicts Less Meat For Next Year By ANN HICKS WASHINGTON, July 31 (UP) Sen. Kenneth S. Wheny, ft., Neb., predicted today there will be even less meat for civilians next year than there is now. He based his statement on two fac tors a short corn crop and no appreciable reduction in the size of the armed forces. Wherry told reporters the low j er red point values for certain i cuts of meat in August do not necessarily mean there is "really" h) JK more meat. He explained a sea- X son.nl increase is to be expected ! at this timeof year and better distribution also had helped. Testify Wherry is- a member of the senate smal ' business subcomit tee which is conducting an inves tigation into the "food side" of and: navy officials were summoned to testify today on their food needs for the Pacific war as well as the probable ef fects of redeployment move on western restaurants. Leon Bosch, assistant director of the OPA food rationing divis ion, said yesterday the army and OPA already were conferring on the 'intensified" problems faced by western eating places. Two Problems Bosch suid western restaurants were confronted with two prob lems. The first is finding room enough to accommodate the jam of business. The second may be that of obtaining enough food. One troop train of soldiers can 3 pretty well "clean out" a small - town during a two-hour stop, he explained. The subcommittee heard evi . donee that despite an over-abundance of meat in some western ' localities, restaurants are begin ' ning to close because they haven't C enough points. , .Army Blamed For Many Shortages ; WASHINGTON, July 31 (UP) f Armed forces were blamed by ' a former government official to day for the slowness with which civilians are getting many need ed items such as electric irons, refrigerators and even caskets.

He re signed July 1 as head of the con- sumers' durable goods branch of i i the office of civilian require-! j. i monts. I - Doidge said "unnecessary" de i 'mands by army and navy offi cials on the requirements com mittee blocked efforts of high WPB officials to hasten reconversion.

OTHMAN WASHINGTON, July 31 (UP) Wheat harvesters of the OWI's great American desert won't eat lettuce and tomato sandwiches. That's official.. They also . are growing weary of fried chicken with gravy. That's official, too. The mayor of Grand .

The small business committee of the senate rushed by plane to Grand Island its " investigator, Mrs. Catherine Guyon, to sec what was irking the Nebraska restaurateurs. ' The trouble soemed to be there wasn't anything to eat in Grand Island except chicken, stewed, boiled, roasted and especially, fried. The citzens wanted meat. She added in Grand Island no body gets butter, except on his waffles and pancakes. "You've led the committee to believe this town is bursting at the seams with chicken," com mented Sen. Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, "but in a few months there won't be any chicken." on. "There's just a surplus of i chicken now. And I can say the working man of Nebraska is not satisfied with a tomato and let tuce sandwich."

Opponents to navy purchase of St.- Johns' argue postwar military needs probably will call for an expansion greater than would be possible on the Maryland campus. Morse For It Exponents of this view include several congressmen, authors of bills to create a west coast acad emy, Sens. Warren Maguson, D., Wash.; Hugh Mitchell, D., Wash.; Wayne Horse, R., Ore., and Sher idan Downey, D., Calif., and Eu gene Meyer, editor and publish er of the Washington Post. "The navy has sometimes shown a lack of imagination," Meyer said in a signed, front-page edi torial yesterday. "Let it not delay in becoming Pacific-minded. Let it have a naval academy on San Francisco bay." Agreed In a Sunday editoriul, Meyer said he would not press the cluim of San Francisco, presented by its mayor, Roger Lupham against any other coast city. The senators were agreed they would like to see a second Anna polis on the Pacific coast. They tended to doubt, however, that the navy would recede from its opposition to establishment of n branch academy. The opposition has an adamant spokesman in Carl Vinson, chair man of the house committee on naval affairs which would consid er any bill to create a west coast academy. Morse Fires Parting Broadside at OPA WASHINGTON, July 31 (UP) Sen. Wayne Morse, R., Ore., left the capital for his home state today after aiming a parting shot in his campaign to lift the ration points on Oregon lamb.

"I feel the responsibility now rests with you and the OPA for any continuation of further losses to Oregon lamb producers and lor wastage of lamb meat grow ing out of a failure ... To put our recommendations into full force and effect," Motse wrote Anderson. , Pressure Cookers Available at Office Two pressure cookers are now available al the Union county home demonstration agent's of fice, and two more are expected to arrive within a week, it was announced today.

Build Vitality To Develop Charm By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer You can be the girl you envy who makes an arresting entrance and starts charming a roomful of people in what seems to be ono motion. ' You can, if like the little dyna mo described, you have normal physical vigor. But to make it throw off such electrical sparks, vitality needs to be refueled by means of daily exercise, enough sleep, the right kind of food, and lively interests. The livelier the intersts, the more alive a person seems to be, as witness any woman you know who throws herself whole-heartedly into whatever she happens tc be doing. That woman moves with vigor, talks with animation, and is apt to act with dynamic power. All of this meuns alive ness, which " invariably holds more attractions for un audience than apathy or bored indiffer ence.
