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

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

To Grow Wort
3. Sen. Burton K. 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."

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

le In 1915, this $4,850 touring car was a good automobile-,
one of the best money could buy. 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.
