Dec. 81. 1944 Turkeys Plentiful This Christmas ' By WALTER WARREN SAN FRANCISCO W The ' Pacific coast, aa well as the whole nation, will have turkey in an abundance never seen before this .' Christmas but many housewives will have trouble getting small "turkeys. The turkey crop hit record size this year in California, several other states, and for the nation. " Both civilian and military supplies are plentiful. Stocks have gone into storage In the last few weeks at an unpre- ',' cedented rate. Along the Pacific ''. coast the flow into freezers has been more than seven times as great as a year ago. Coast freezer stocks totaled more .. than million pounds on Dec. "1 more . than four times last year's hoard. Most of that be longs to the fighting men. It will b shipped for variation of meat diet during early 1945. Heavy shipments have lately been made to Hawaii. The industry, in recent years trying to build up turkey as a reg- , ular year-round meat, instead of ' just a holiday treat, seems to have sold the idea to tjie armed lorces, whether intentionally or not. There will be big supplies through the first half of 1045, as laying hens are marketed. That is why housewives will have little luck getting 12-15 pound turkeys for Christmas. Growers who got 30 cents apiece for- turkey eggs during the hatching season this year are keeping hens for another try at that lucrative market. The holdout of turkey hens points a prospective finger toward another big turkey-growing season in 1945. Turkey prices to consumers are about at ceiling prices here 51 cents a pound. The office of price administration has told whole salers they can sell to consumers as low as 48.3 cents a pound, be ginning tomorrow, Dec. 21. That permission revokes a previous or der against wholesalers going into the retail' market President's Christmas Message Sent Scouts In his annual Christmas mes sage to the Boy Scouts of Amer ica, President Roosevelt calls the "self forgetful service" of the Boy Scouts "the perennial reward of scouting."

Ambassador Fears Germans In Spain LONDON (UFS Lord Temple wood said today in his first speech since his retirement as British ambassador to Madrid that Spain was "morally occu pied" by the Germans for most of the past five years. Templewood, the former Sir Samuel Hoare, made his maiden speech in the house of lords after his return from Spain last week. He said that while he was in Spain, nazl gestapo agents watch ed every move he made, living in a house ne xtdoor to his residence and looking over the wall at him. Templewood told the house that German influence pervaded many important sections of Spanish life, adding: "Although Spain was not mili tarily occupied in those early years of the war, Spain was mor ally occupied." Templewood said 'he gestapo was "constantly trying to suborn m ydomestle staff" and continued: "I saw the gestapo talcing photographs when a riot was stirred up for the purpose of breaking windows of the British embassy. "I saw again what was more sinister. From time to time the gestapo would seize some man or woman in Spanish territory and take them over the frontier to their death or torture in Ger many or one of the occupied countires. "I had the conviction that this Germa ninfluence this terrible German peril was leaving be hind It corruption, bitter hatreds, an dvendettas, and was stadily undermining all the moral stand ards of life in which it instilled its poison."
