This forecast was given by the agriculture department today in a reDort on the food situation 1 which said that food supplies as a whole will be relatively plen tiful during the fall and winter. . Reduced suimlies of meats and dairy products will be offset, the report said, by larger supplies of fresh fruits and vegetables and cereal products. The department said tne civil ian food supply is being main tained at present levels despite large war requirements because of the "tremendous increase" in total food production since the beginning of the war- The vol ume of agricultural production of foods for sale and farm use in 1944 is expected to be 38 per cent above the 1935-39 average and almost 5 per cent larger than last year. Most of this increase over 1943 will be in food grains principally wheat , fruits, truck crops and meats. ... . , DIES IN Mil Mrs. Donna H.

HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Th dsldl ousanas Strikes Ove r N a tio n By The Associated Preas A sudden work stoppage among 6000 employes . of the Philadelphia Transportat i o n comrianv. and a controversy af fecting 2200 Montgomery Ward and company employes in De troit, brought the nation's total number of workers idle because of labor disputes to nearly 28,000 today. The Philadelphia stoppage re sulted in hundreds of thousands of the city's workers being left stranded on street corners, some of them getting to work two and three hours late and others sim ply staying home. A spokesman for the company, which operates the city's entire transportation system, said the management understood tho buj, trolley and subway drivers quit in protest against hiring of negro operators. A union spokesman, however, declared there was no strike. Many drivers had report ed in ill, telling reporters they were "too sick to take the cars out." Montgomery Ward and com pany appeared in the picture again. Three Detroit area stores and 2200 employes were affected in a -controversy whlc.i Jen Craig, international representa tive of the CIO United Retail and, Wholesale Employes, called a lockout resulting from failure of the company to pay overtime to supervisors working on inven tory. The company declined com ment. The Montgomery. Ward case was certified by the war labor board to federal labor concilia tors and company and union of ficials were summoned to a meet ing today. The big mall order house and the Chicago local of the same union were involved in a bitter dispute in April, cli maxed by temporary govern ment seizure, with the aid of troops, of the company's Chi cago facilities and forcible ejec tion from his office of beweli Avery, Montgomery Ward board chairman. Final settlement of that case is still, pending. In another Detroit dispute, 7000 workers were idle and five plants of the General Motors' Chevrolet gear and axle divis ion were virtually closed.
