sen. Clay called him his "rov-
g center."
The general was referring to
of. James K. Pollock, versatile
airman of the political science
partment, who spendls his time
a welter of administrative,
aching and public service tasks
at would keep the ordinary man
ing a twenty-eight hour day.
PROF. POLLOCK, a specialist
problems of German govern-
ant, is well 'qualified for this
)rk since he was a key man in
tting up the governmental
ructure in the American zone of
cupation in Germany. He was
so chief architect of the Land-
rat, the Council of States.
While Prof. Pollock was work-
ng under Gen. Clay in Ger-
nany, a deep bond of friendship
,rose between the two men. "He
lever let American military gov-
rnment forget American ideals"
he general said in appreciation.
Prof. Pollock tells of the time
and Gen. Clay were discussing,
ans for the first post-war elec-
ons in Germany. It was then

at the elections should be held

Dr. Bodian
To Present
PolioTalk
Dr. David Bodian, of the Polio-
myelitis Laboratory of Johns Hop-
kins University, will give the third
annual Don W. Gudakunst Mem-
orial Lecture at 4 p.m. today in
the auditorium of the public
health school.
The title of his talk will be
"The Pathogenesis of Poliomye-
litis." He will discuss the most
modern theory of how children
get polio, the research work being
done on it and the attempts being
made to find preventatives for
polio.
Dr. Bodian recently made one
of the two reports submitted on
the discovery that polio strikes
first in the blood instead of the
nerves.
The Gudakunst lecture is given
each year in memory of Dr. Don
Gudakunst, former medical direc-
tor of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis and a
graduate of the University.

By EUGENE HARTWIG
Eating habits got a jolt through-
out America last week as a short-!
age of potatoes knock the seem-
ingly ever present staple from the
dinner menu.
The potato famine came to light
here when Leonard Schaadt, di-
rector of Residence Halls, an-
nounced the University was forced
to abandon potatoes as a dorm
food.
The University had the alter-
native of dealing through the
"black market" or doing without,
Schaadt explained. Indignant, he
declared, "The University has
resolutely refused to obtain pota-
toes through 'black or grey mar-
ket' channels."
: HENRY HELLE of the Food
Service reported that produce
men from his department have
scoured the entire state and found
no traces of the sought after item.
The only potatoes available were
a limited supply of pre-peeled and
treated ones from produce brokers
in Detroit. These could be had
only at considerable cost.
Restaurants across the nation
have hung out 'no potato' signs
as they sought desperately to
find starch-rich substitutes.
Reports from Washington, D.C.
indicated that dwellers in the
capital have been eating potatoes
imported from Spain since Easter.
Washingtonians have been quick
to dub the imported tubers 'Span-
ish Spuds.'

Shortage Knocks Spuds From Menu

. . . 'Hot' Spuds
ing to the 'U' through the efforts
of the Food Service has been
labeled for the University Hospi-
tal by an administration under-
standing.
According to Helle poor
weather conditions were chiefly
responsible for a poor crop this
year. Potatomen in the starch
belt of northern Michigan pre-
dicted the shortage when their
storage bins were emptied late
last fall. Under normal condi-
tions the growers could have
continued to supply the market
until the new crop was harvest-
ed this year.
Prof. Ulrey of the department of
Agricultural Economics at Michi-
gan State pointed out in a tele-
phone interview that an unusually
low price last fall caused the mar-
ket to absorb the supply too quick-
ly.
HE ALSO mentioned that the
government's buying large lots of
potatoes for use in the armed
forces may have played a small
part in the shortage. The army
has traditionally been a heavy
consumer of a meat and potato
diet.
Ulrey expected that the short-
age would take care of itself as
soon as the new crop comes on
the market sometime this sum-
mer.
Meanwhile as the threatened
shortage developed into a definite
trend and potato prices went up
during the winter, the govern-
ment clamped a ceiling on the
consumer market.
IN PLACING a ceiling on con-
sumer spuds, OPS allowed seed
potatoes to remain restriction-
free. Profit eager brokers were
getting table potatoes labeled as
seed and selling them without a
ceiling price.
'U' Residence Halls had been
buying these 'seed' spuds
marked as such by a blue tag
at above OPS prices, Sclhaadt
said.
OPS then cracked down and
blocked any further broker profi-
teering by jamming a ceiling on
seed potatoes too. As a, result
produce brokers refused to sell ex-
cept through 'black market' chan-
nels.

cient election system by then.
The General told him "You
don't learn to swim until you jump
in the wate'r," to which Prof. Pol-
lock quickly retorted, "But the
water in January is very cold."
Not to be outdone the general set-
tled the dispute with "Yes, but it's
also very invigorating."
Prof. Pollock, generally ac-
knowledged as the best golfer in
his department, lectuers to all
survey courses in political science.
In addition he teaches classes in
German government and national
administration. The first course
ever offered by the University on
national administration was given
by him in 1926.
In his book, "Decision in Ger-
many," Gen. Lucius Clay inscribed
in the copy he sent to Prof. Pol-
lock. "I hope you enjoy this record
since you had such an important
part in making it."

Does your skin smart, burn,
when you apply lotion after

facial skin is irritated from
shaving- probably because

you have to "bear down"
to shave clean.
PAL's patented Hollow

with a light, light stroke; your
