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.
The accusation was made by
Lester P. Doidge, a former war
production board official. 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.

Weary of Fried
tnicicen, uravy i
By FREDERICK C. 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 . Island,
Neb., joined 27 restaurant owners
there in sending to the senate a
resolution saying they'd have to
lose shop unless they got some
red point relief by Aug. 1.
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."

Recipes are now being com

Proposals For New
Naval Academy
Gets Attention
Vinson of Naval
Affair 8 Group
Opposed
WASHINGTON, July 31 (UP)
Proposal to found a second naval
academy on the Pacific coast has
gained considerable attention as
the result of a controversy over a
navy plan to annex historic St.
Johns' college in Maryland for
an expansion of Anapolis.
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.
The senator, who has made
daily appeals from the senate
floor, asked Secretary of Agri
culture Clinton Anderson to use
his "good officus" to "prevent
further wastage of lamb meat."
"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. ,

Build Vitality

You can be the girl you envy

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. Music Springs Out
