U.R Two Republican senators charg ed today that "confusion" and "doggone ignorance" among some government 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., Nebs., as special house and senate committees continued their investigations of the food shortage. Wherry said there were strong indications of 'confusion" and "disunity" among higher ups in the department of agriculture, office of price administration and the war food administration. He said testimony by officials of the various agencies showed that they didn't have a "clear cut, unified, maximum produc tion program and that they are probably fighting among them selves." Bushfield's suspicions that all is not well in higher government strategy stemmed from testi mony on Canada's favorable foo 1 situation. The senate com mitvee heard yesterday that Ca nadians have plenty of meat these days and are rationed only on sugar, butter, and coffee. "Canada," Bushfield said, 'has a comparable war effort and I certainly think we should have done as well. That we didn't seems significant to me. It Indi cates trouble." OBITUARY JEFFIE J.
