Plans Drawn Up

Plan" will form the backbone of
a nationwide program for par
ticipation of retail merchants in
the forthcoming seventh war loan,
May 14 to June 30, as planned
this week in Washington, D. C,
at conferences of treasury war
finance division officials with
prominent businessmen represent
ing the country's retail trades.
Executives of national and state
trade associations, advertising and
sales promotion managers, and
members of stale and local war
finance committees attended the
planning sessions.
Organized on battle line phrase

stores throughout the country.
Thpre will also be a B-IIour, dur
ing which each store will sell
onlv war bonds. The time of
observance of the hour will be
selected Individually by the sep
arate communities to coincide
with their peak business period.
At ' the - various meetings the
Vital role the retailers are to play
In the success of the seventh war
loan was stressed. As only two
drives are scheduled for 1945,
compared with three in the pre
vious years, it was pointed out
that the government will have to
raise almost, as much money
from individuals as in the three
drives of last year.
Because of this necessity, quot
as for individuals in E bonds have
been set at $7 billions and $4
billions, respectively, out of an
overall quota of $14 billions. This
Is an all-time high, and compares
with an E bond quota of 2 Mi bil
lions in the sixth war loan, a 60
per cent Increase. Retailers can
contribute greatly to the achieve
ment of these goals, It was re
ported, because of the vast scope
of their proximity to the masses
of E-bond investers.

Cove in Kansas Is Proposed
For Use as Natural Ice Box
"It was not," said the colonel.;
"That was the only place where,
there were enough tanks."
Sen. Hugh Butler of Nebraska ,
wondered whether he knew about ;
the cave in Kansas that the gov- j
ernment is attempting to turn
into a gigantic cold storage vault. 1
"If it had been completed in :
time," Col. Olmstead replied,'
"there would have been no spoil- i
age of lard, or eggs, either."
Hurry up, fellers, with that !
cave. The summer sun is getting
hot.
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Preu Staff Correspondent)
Washington,' April 4 (IP You
know that cave out In Atchison,
Kansas? The one the government
wants to use for an ice-box?
Well sir, Lt. Col. Ralph . W.
Olmstead. claims that if it had
been working last year the war
food administration wouldn't
have had to sell 20,000,000 pounds
of spoiled lard for soap. Neither,
he said, would the government
have had to sit on its handker
chief while 180,000 cases of eggs
turned too potent for human use.
The cave could have held the
whole works, he told the senate
agriculture committee investigat
ing food shortages.
The colonel is a youngish, red
haired citizen with an extra chin
and a forthright manner.-He is
one of the big shots In the war
food administration, and he said
flatly that he was the man re
sponsible for those eggs. He said
that he tried to do something
about 'cm.
"Although," he said, "the safest
thing for an Individual bureaucrat
to do is nothing. That is, looking
at it from his own viewpoint."
There were so many eggs last
summer that omelettes were com
ing out' of America's ears. The
government set a price of 27
cents a dozen on 'em, but few
people bought.
"So we went out into the mar
ket and bought eggs," Col. Olm
stead testified. "We sold all we
could. We shipped them on lend
lease consignment. We dried
them. We canned them. We filled
every possible cold storage plant.
And still the eggs came in.
"On June 11 I went down to
my office to find 1,400 carloads
of eggs on the track and no plaoft
to go. That s one thing you can t
sit on. Eggs. We started tanking
eggs."
He explained that this meant
breaking up the eggs and selling
them for pig feed and fertilizer.
The government took a $6,000,000
loss "and we've been trying to
explain ever since," Olmstead
said.
The senators mostly were sym
pathetic. Sen. Scott W. Lucas of
Illinois said if the government
hadn't taken' the loss, the farm
ers would. Sen. Allen J. Ellender
of Louisiana said the colonel's
egg operations, under the circum
stances, looked like good sense to
him. The subject changed then to
lard. '

Navy to Lower
Its Call for Men
Washington, April 4 (IP The;
navy department said today it is
cutting down on its calls for men i
through selective service. 1
It is explained that this was
being done so that it will not go
beyond its authorized strength of '
3,600.000 by July 1. !
Two factors are understood to
be responsible for the reduction. ;
First is the satisfactory progress :
of the war In the Pacific with a
resultant smaller demand for re-1
placements than had been expect-!
ed. The other is that voluntary
enlistments of 17-year-olds -are;
coming along at a high rate. j
"The navy's calls on selective :
service have been and are being 1
gradually reduced in order to con-1
form to authorized strength by;
July 1," the navy said. 1
Strength Is Given
Strength of the navy on Feb. 1
was 3,300,000. I
The reduction will be gradual !
until in June the navy's calls will ,
be 50 per cent below the 35,000
monthly average which has been '
maintained during the past year, j
These cuts, it was estimated, j
will result in a reduction of about
10 per cent in the total calls by ,
selective service. These have
averaged about 135,000 a month, j
Thus the army will have a
slightly larger pool from which it
can draw the men it needs. Only
recently the navy allotted to the
army all youths 18 to 20 inclusive.

"After doing everything
could, we found ourselves still
with 20,000,000 pounds of lard on
our hands," he said. "There was
nothing to do but store it in open
tanks. Wo put in a preservative,
but we knew it would spoil if we
had to keep lt any length of time."
The tanks were located at
Ivorydale, Ohio, he said. Sure
enough the lard soured. The gov
ernment sold it to soap manufac
turers. "And was it a coincidence," de
manded Sen. George D. Aiken of
Vermont, "that so much lard
spoiled so near a soap factory?"
