E Economic Problems of Eur ope "Extremely Serious" as World Crisis Arises, United Press Correspondent Washington, May 2. U.PJ Americana were told bluntly and without equivocation today that they face a new battle against hunger on which the fu ture peace of the world may well depend. A bleak picture of the starva tion facing Europe and the lean er fare awaiting this nation was coupled with an appeal for more production and a united front on the new world economic crisis that has arisen with the ap proach of the end of the Euro pean war. ' Problems Serious - Here are the developments that brought out the full nature of the seriousness of the world food situation: 1. Judge Samuel I. Rosenman who made a tour of liberated areas of northwest Europe at the direction of the late Presi dent Roosevelt, told President Truman that the economic prob lems of those areas are ex tremely serious. He said a "realistic appraisal' indicated that the U. S. will have the task of providing e "substantial share" of most civil ian supplies Including food, and urged a widespread campaign to acquaint the people with the gravity of the situation and the need for reduced food rations . here to meet bur "responsibili ties." Requirements High S. American, Canadian and British food officials, who have been conferring here on joint problems, declared in a state ment that United nations re quirements are higher this year and supplies lower than they have been before and that the problem will extend into 1946, Describing the food problem as "another common struggle which must be won," the offi cials said, "either the United Na tions must find the answers . . , or millions of persons through out the world will meet disillu- Do your drinks get asL3W as this?

Wheeler, D., Mont., a member of the sen ate committee investigating this country's food situation, said he had been told matters in Europe are so desperate that 1,500,000 persons may starve to death this year. He said the food situation here will grow worse before it gets better. 4. Chairman Leo T. Crowley of the U. S. committee on for eign shipments reported that American civilians will get less food this year than they did last, but promised a "decent Ameri can diet" will be maintained. He said military requirements would go up from 13 to 16 per cent of total supplies, ana u. s. food production would be 8 to 10 per cent less than last year. Suaar Rations Cut 5. Three government agencies announced a one-third cut in u. S. civilian sugar allotments. On the positive side, the house yesterday passed and sent to the senate a bill authorizing United States participation in the Unit ed Nations food and agriculture organization, the FAO, designed to provide for international ex change of ideas on food with the goal of sufficient food for all peoples, will go into operation when the bill becomes law. In additipn to food Rosenman also stressed fuel and transporta tion shortages. He said it would be impossible to meet "even minimum" coal needs for a year or more after V-E day. The U. S. should figure out how much it can supply to Europe, Rosenman declared, "for the lack of coal is of gravest political and econo mic concern." LI IN POSTWAR BID Chicago U.R) A lounge car which can be transformed into a night club and movie thea ter is one of the aces with which American railroads plan to bid for a bigger share in postwar travel business. The railroads, under wartime conditions, have acquired a vol ume of passenger traffic they never had before. With a lot of their equipment needing replace ment and the money on hand with which to do it, the rail roads have an unprecedented chance to hold this new war time business and to get more of it when peace comes. The airlines and new types of bus service are all set to offer the railroads stiff competition. To meet it, the railroads must give better service and more comfort than ever before and do it without big increases in fares. Music and Dancing New equipment which provid es such service is the answer. Post-war patronsusing the new lounge car will find a forward half with a cocktail bar and soft cushion seats. At night the seats will be folded against the wall, clearing a 9-by-20 foot floor for dancing. Music will be provided from a concealed phonograph or radio in the car center. During the day the rear half will be a luxurious observation lounge. After dark, the chairs can be swung inward Into rows facing the center of the car for movies projected from the rear to a screen in front. Another post-war item ia the day-night coach with com pletely new type of seat which its designers say will give un precedented restfulness during the day and the semi-privacy of a chaise lounge at night. Another is a diner designed to do away with the difficulties which now beset the travelers at the train table. This new diner has diagonal seating arrange ment which permits users to en ter or leave their seats without disturbing those around them. A three-decker coach is in the works too. This job will seat 112 Une ot Last Photos Mac Ernie Pyla (center foreground), Scrlpps-Howard columnist and one of the this war, Is pictured here shortly before he was killed in action talking to Winthrop, Mass. on Okinawa.

Two new kinds of sleeping cars include a duplex roomette and a three-tier sleep er. The former is a car of 24 individual rooms, each with pri vate toilet and washing facilities.

In 1915, Union Oil made a good line of greases-8 different types "to meet every lubrica tion need." Today, the lowest-priced cars are far better than that 1915 touring car. And they sell for about H as much.
