By Dudley Ann Harmon
United Press Correspondent
London (U.R) If your butch
er is short of steak these days it
may be because troops waiting
here to embark for Europe are
treated to four-day feasts in their
marshaling areas.
The U. S. Quartermaster Serv
ice has revealed to the United
Press that special menus are pre
pared for these men featuring
extra tasty items before they
switch to operational rations.
They get chicken every four
days, pork chops every four
days, smoked ham every other
day and roast beef or steak every
other day. Fruit is served at
every meal. Hot cakes, bacon,
French toast and pork sausage
are on the breakfast menus.
. Fruit and candy are included.
Paratroopers Fed Diet
Paratroopers were fed on a
special diet for nine days before
D-day in order to prevent stom
ach cramps following high pres
sure of high-altitude flight.
Recentt feeding problems out
side the ' marshaling area con
cern Moslem-French allies, our
own casualties, Italian volunteer
labor battalions and German
prisoners of war.
Some of the French-Moslem
units supplied by the U. S. army
required meals entirely without
pork. Menus had to be translated
into French.
Spaghetti for Italian!
Volunteer Italian labor bat
talions serving with Allied
forces in Europe enjoy the same
meal as American soldiers with
an increased spaghetti ration.
German prisoners are fed by
the same standard as Allied
forces in Britain, with the issue
of bread and potatoes increased
to conform with their national
eating habits.
Foodstuffs shipped to the Nor
mandy beaches are marked in
luminous paint with the proper
menu number so that they can
be rapidly unloaded in the dark
ness and served at the proper
meal.

The prisoner of war camp at
Camp Grant will be retained,
Auranc said, but added that the
status of the Illinois camp after
the transfer "would be difficult
to say because of the present
state, of the war."

FARM BUYING AID
Washington, Aug. 3 (U.R)
The War Food Administration
announced today that war vet
erans, under the "GI bill of
rights" are eligible to take out
farm purchase loans from a $15,
000,000 fund authorized for allo
cation this year by the Farm Se
curity Administration under the
farm tenant act.
Veterans will be permitted to
share in a program designed to
make farm ownership possible
to tenants, sharecroppers and
farm laborers. FSA loans are re
payable over a 40-year period
at three per cent interest and
were designed by congress to
permit eligible borrowers to ac
quire family-size farms.
WFA said this year's appro
priation would make it possible
to start about 2700 families on
the road to farm ownership.
Since 1937, when the program
began, approximately 37.000
families have been approved for
loans, the agency reported.
Capt. Crews, 25 years old, vet
eran of more than a score of
combat missions, also wears the
Air Medal with three Oak Leaf
Clusters. He was a salesman here
for the Bates Candy company
before entering the army March
17, 1942 He is the son of Mrs.
Lucy Crews, 737 West Four

QUOTA
Washington, Aug. 3. (U.R)
War Production Chairman Don
ald M. Nelson reported today
that only 48 per cent of the
$69,000,000,000 1944 munitions
program was completed at the
mid-year mark and warned
against "deluding ourselves that
the war production job is al
ready finished."
Nelson's report was issued as
top production and military of-i
liciuis emeicu imu men num.
i
"These, by and large, Include'
the verv Droerams for which re-'
day of discussions with War! quirements have been the most I
steeply increased as a result of.
combat experience in Italy and
Normandy," Nelson said.
MODUlzauon uirecior James r.
Byrnes on met nods oi solving
manpower shortages in certain
war plants.
The WPB chief explained that
the 48 per cent figure tends to
give "an overly optimistic im
pression" because it does not in
dicate the boost In production
required for the balance of the
year in such items as heavy
trucks, big guns, bombs, heavy
artillery, and tractors.
All major munitions groups
have completed more than 46
per cent of their program, he
said, but a "realistic valuation"
of the prodution program must
take into account that there are
many individual programs in
"very serious difficulties."
