Washington, May 28. (U.F9
Administration leaders assured
the nation today that there
would be no economic collapse
during the reconversion period
but instead a swiftly expanding
civilian economy in which small
business would be given every
possible encouragement.
Throughout the period be
tween wars, they stressed, the
emphasis will be on easing up
government production controls
to let the forces of free enter
prise and competition get back
to work.
A highly optimistic report on
.the nation's immediate economic
future was given by War Pro
duction Chairman J. A. Krug,
who said the country was much
better prepared for reconversion
now than it was in 1918.
Krug predicted that one year
from today United States factor
ies will be turning out durable
civilian goods at an annual rate
of $16,700,000,00030 per cent
higher than in 1939.
Krug said many workers
would not even have to shift
Jobs. Of some 51,200,000 civilian
workers now employed, he de
clared, 46,000,000 are in Jobs
that will continue regardless, of
war production.
Krug said the production pro
gram had now reached maturity
and that despite pressing needs
of. the Japanese war the nation
was ready to turn to the Jobs of

15th U. S. Army Hdq., Ger
many, May 28 (U.R) Seven mil
lion Germans in the Rhineland
face food shortage bordering on
starvation unless the crop situa
tion gets very much better be
fore July.
Military agricultural experts
said today that food supplies
and stocks virtually have van
ished because of the necessity of
feeding thousands of liberated
slave laborers and displaced per
sons. They classed the collection.
distribution and provision of the
minimum food required for civi
lians as the first critical problem
in occupied Germany.
Much 6f the Rhineland is be
ing tilled right now, but the
spring planting was late because
of the war. There also is a short
age of fertilizer, which probably
will mean below-average production.
To prevent mass starvation
and possible food riots, the food
office of the Rhine province
military district has established
food rationing. Starting today
every German will be allowed a
maximum of 1,150 calories daily
about one-third the average
diet of American soldiers, or one-1
fourth that of American clvl
lians. Heavy laborers will get
a maximum of 2,800 calories.
It also was disclosed that 47,
000,000 pounds of seed potatoes
have been distributed to all
Rhine province areas in another
move to head off the threatened
famine.
Washington, May 28. U.R)
A message from the office of war
information:
The government needs and
asks its citizens in this 181st
week of the war against Japan
to: . '
1. Take a west coast job re
pairing battle-damaged war ves
sels if you are an electrician.
boilermaker or skilled repair
man. Apply to the nearest U. S.
employment service office for
details on these top priority jobs.
2. Plant late crop vegetables
while there is still time in most
states. Tomatoes, one of the
most important of these, will be
an essential source of vitamin C
next winter.
3. Join the Waves for hospital
corps work and general duty. In
creased Pacific casualties make
the need urgent for 2,000 re
cruits per month. Write Waves,
Washington, D .C, for Informa
tion booklet.
4. Stick to the victory speed
limit. Tire wear is heavier in
hot weather and 50 per cent
higher at 50 miles an hour than
35. Recent tire allocations can
only partially relieve the short
age.
5. Return to a ship and stay
there if you are an experienced
seaman. Four thousand ships
now in operation and 12,000,000
tons to be built during 1945 must
be manned.
