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."
