PAGE TEN MEDFOPD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29. 1642 SEE NO EFFORT TO Survey of Stores Shows No Reaction to Notice of Plan to Ration Goods. "Still no reaction" is the word from Med ford grocers who for the most part anticipated that announcement of the point sys tem of food rationing would causa a rush of buyers. A sur vey of several additional Med' ford stores this morning showed that almost no one made any effort to stock up on canned goods after Sunday's news. Wm. A. Holloway reported 'There has been no rush at all here. However, for soma time we have been trying to divide available supplies among our regular customers and we wouldn't sell large lots of goods If we were asked to. We aie trying to discourage hoarding.' "No particular reaction at all1 said Charles Luman when quer ied about his customers, and Wren Orey, manager of the Plggly-Wiggley said "We haven't had enough reaction to mention, We had anticipated something of run on canned goods and were somewhat surprised when It didn't materialize. However, this is traditionally the poorest buying week In the year for groceries' which might have made a difference. Perhaps the run will show up a little later." Tax Been Deterrent O. W. Dunford of the River Ida Market thinks that the prospect of paying Christmas bills and thoughts of Income taxes kept buyers from making an effort to stock up with canned goods. "People haven't any money the week after Christmas," he said, "and most of them don't want to add gro cery bills to Christmas bills just before Income taxes are due," "We were all set for a run on canned goods", reported M. W. Jarmin of the Peerless Market, "but nothing happened. One or two restaurant owners who were a little anxious tried to do a little extra buying but we turned them down. We are making an effort to see that our stocks are distributed among as many peo ple as possible." Mr. Jarmin thought that buying would pick up In a week or so and con tinue to be heavier towards the first of February, especially aft er restaurants had turned in December Inventory figures to the government Little Over Normal "Buying has been only a little above normal" said M. A. Colby of the Quality Market, "and we have been urging all our cus tomers to buy only what they need at the time In order that everyone may be supplied fair ly". Ed. C. Anderson of Ander son's Market reported not much difference In trade and added that he was somewhat surprised. "Many of us believe there was little need for the announcement of rationing In advance", he stated. This Idea was also ad vanced by a few other grocers, who felt the authorities were in viting trouble by making ad vance announcement.

Eves Wallace Visions Free World Democracy With Allies Supervising Axis Schools REALISTS RAPPED Washington, Dec. 29 0JJ9 Vice President Henry A. Wal lace last night vigorously denounced "self-styled 'real ists' " who recently have criti cized his suggestions for a better standard of living for all in the post-war world. In an address last May, Wallace said that one of the objects of this war should be that everybody in the world has the privilege of drinking a quart of milk a day. In his address last night, Wallace said those sugges tions had been grossly dis torted and misrepresented. By John L. Cutter United Press Staff Correspondent Washington, Dec. 29 U.R Vice President Henry A. Wal lace, continuing the sketching of a blueprint for a post-war world, today envisions a "free world democracy" for all the world but believes the United Nations will have to supervise or inspect the school systems of Germany and Japan after the war. In the post-war world, accord ing to Wallace, there must be Jobs for everyone and security for all the world victors and vanquished from depression and war. To achieve that there must be a world council and a world court with a "minimum of centralization and a maxi mum of home rule," he said. Wallace has described his "free world democracy" as the logical successor of President Roosevelt's New Deal of 1833 1 which followed the "new free dom" for which Woodrow Wil son fought; the welfare of the common man is the keynote of all three. Wallace has become the ma jor spokesman for the New Deal on post-war plans. Last May he first proclaimed that the people were on the march and that World Warll was "the march of freedom for the common man." His second major pronounce ment came last night on the 86th birthday anniversary of Woodrow Wilson. In a radio ad dress over a nationwide net work, Wallace urged the Amer ican people to start setting the pattern now for a post-war world and promised that the aim of this war was to preserve liberty, equality, security and unity "liberty In a political sense, equality of opportunity in international causes, and unity of purpose In promoting the general welfare of the world."
