Sen. Hugh A. Butler, R., Neb.,
as "a cat's paw in a bit of
Journalistic ghost-writing"- for
Reader's Digest, the periodical
In which Butler elaborated on
charges that the administration
had spent $6,000,000,000 on a
"boondoggling" program in
South America.
Guffey suggested that it was
"unfortunate ha (Butler) was
not aware of the extent to which
tha editors of Reader's Digest
were abusing his trust and em
ploying his personal prestlje to
foist on America and the world
a mass of misinformation."
Says Apology Owed .
Butler made a tour of South
America during tha summer re
cess of congress. '
Guffey said that the editors
of the magazine owe an apology
to Butler, "whom they have
made to appear as an interna
tional fool," to tha senate, the
American people at large and
tha government and peoDle of
every friendly American' nation.
The senators trio was. In
fact, undertaken under the aus
pices of Reader's Digest," Guf
fey said. "He was accompanied
on his trip by a Mr. Maurice K.
Mumford, a member of tjie
Reader's Digest research staff,
as a rewrite man to put the
senator's report Into acceptable
magazine form, the Reader's Di
gest utilized the service of Dr.
Stanley High."
Guffcy said he wouldn't guess
as to the magazine's motive "or
guess that the editor hopes by
overthrowing this administra
tion to be relieved of part of
his income tax, or that he may
have decided to cultivate pro-
axis circulation for his Spanish
edition in the Argentine."
Reader's Digest editors, Guf
fey said, supplied Butler with
most of "tha figures used to sup
port his claims that South
American expenditures are in
the neighborhood of $6,000,000,-
uuo.
coma . figures, Guffey con
tended, were juggled to misrep
resent the facts and others were
outright false.
Guffey sought to have his
speech made a part of a senate
document in which Butler's re
port to the senate will be pub
lished but Sen. Arthur H. Van-
den berg, R., Mich., objected,
declaring that Guffey's speech
"violates the rules of the senate
In many respects."
Butler walked Into the senate
chamber during Guffey's speech
and sat through It silently. When
Guffey concluded Butler an
nounced.that he did not Intend
w iiiann a lurrntu answer yet.
ine only thing I want to say
now Is that I don't even know
some of tha persons the senator
mentioned," Butler said.

United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The homa
front is going to find it touch
going in the third year of the
war, but it may not be as bad
as had been anticipated.
It is pretty certain that th
public will not receive any ma
jor home front bonanzas until
the last bomb luu exploded In
Europe, at least.
Nevertheless, authorities aald,
the American public will be the
Best fed, best clothed, best
housed of any of the warring
powers.
Here's how the civilian Is like
ly to fare next year:
consumer goods: The only
commoaities tnat positively will
reappear are the two-wav
stretch, garters, suspenders and
such elastic goods which now
can be made of synthetic rubbct.
These will come around Easter
time, under present plans. Hooka
and eyes and zippers also are ex
pected to make a return engage
ment.
Clothing and shoes will con.
tlnue to fall short of civilian de
mand, but this will be due more
to the manpower problem than
to a prohibitive absence of sup
plies.
New radios will still be off tho
market and a resumption of pro
duction foe mechanical refriger
ators cannot be anticipated In
tne arjsence of the fractional
horse-power motor.
War Production Chairman
Donald M. Nelson has Dromised
that production of civilian goods
win De permitted on an increas
ing scale as fast as military re
quirements will permit the re
lease of plants and materials.
But the ciyilan is reminded that
produotinn of civilian goods dur
ing wartime can never be any
where near normal and that au
thorized resumption of nroduo
tion or stepped-up manufacture
la mainly for the purpose ot
cusniomng the expected deterioration.
Sharp increases in repair
parts tor essential machines will
help to make life more comfort
able for civilians who have been
watching some of their treasured
possessions wear out for two
years. .
Rationing! Considerable1 sim
plification of the entire ration
ing program will get underway
with the Inauguration of ration
tokens in February. All food
ration coupons will be assigned
a flat 10-point value, with the
piastic tokens- being given as
change for any purchase amount
lng to less than, 10 points. Tok
ens will he good at any time.
With the exception of possibly
a few processed food items
which may be given zero poln
values as supplies increase, the
ration charts probably' will not
be altered drastically, Fluctuat
lng point values, however, will
keep the consumer on bis toes.
...Tood: There will be mora c
reals, milk and eggs, but less of
all kinds of meat, under present
War Food Administration plans.
After record-breaking produc
tion year, tne wrA baa ordered
concentration on grains in the
1944 crops program, but think
the country could get along on
less meat production and still as
sure fulfillment of essential
quirementa.
Prices! This is tha major un
certainty on tha threshold of tha
third war year. Without subsl
dies. Price Administrator Chea
ter Bowles had declared higher
food prices would be inevitable
and soon. If subsidies go out,
Bowlea promises that the OPA
can only do Its best to checls ris
ing living costs.

Damage of $100,000 was esti
mated today in a butane truck
explosion and fire which last
night demolished a bakery
plant, hurled one man 40 feet
across a street, and rocked the
neighborhood for several blocks
around.
Officials said the blast oc
curred when Lloyd Press, 35,
Silverado, was discharging a
tank of butane gas into under
ground tanks of the bakery.
Press was thrown across the
street by the explosion and suf
fered third degree body burns.
The bakery was closed down
for the night and no one was be
