Officials Blamed
For Food Trouble
Washlngloir. April 4 illi-Two
republican senators charged today
that "confusion" and "doggone
ignorance" among some govern
ment officials were responsible
for the nation's food troubles.
The accusations came from
Sens. Harlan J. Bushfield, R., S.
D., and Kenneth S. Wherry, R.,
Neb., as special house and senate
committees continued their inves
tigations of the food shortage.
Wherry said there were strong
indications of "confusion" and
"disunity" among higher-ups in
the department of agriculture, of
fice of price administration and
the war food administration.
Ho said testimony by officials
of the various agencies showed"
that they didn't have a "clear cut,
unified, maximum production
program and that they are prob
ably fighting among themselves."
Bushfjeld's susDicions that all
is not well in higher government
strategy stemmed from testimony
on Canada's favorable food situa
tion. The senate committee heard
yesterday that Canadians have
plenty of meat these days and ra
tioned only on sugar, butter, and
coffee. ;
. "Canada," Bushfield said, "has
a comDarable war effort and I
certainly think we should have
done as well. That we didn't
seems significant to me. It indi
cates troubla."

TIRES
Inspected
Thousands of truck tires are ruined each day on the fighting fronts.
Rubber-tired mobile guns, ammunition and supply trucks, kitchen
equipment hundreds of different kinds of trucks are subject to
heavy bombardment, travel over shell-pocked roads all of which
reduces the life of the tire. Extreme care must be given to truck tires
on the home front. There are not enough to meet the demand. The
answer is to balance loads, properly match duals and have repairs
made at the first indication of a bruise or break. Recapping will give
adequate safe mileage at low cost per mile. It's the answer to "Keep
Rolling." "
