Confusion and Doggone Ignorance
Blamed in Nation's Food Trouble
Washington, April 4. 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."
