Washi1ngton Merry-Go-Round By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN WASHINGTON-In the headlines, lend-lease aid to Britain is chiefly a story of planes, tanks, ships, guns and munitions. But these dramatic war supplies are only one part of the picture. As equally vital, though little known,'phase of this gigantic program is food. Today, practically every ship leaving U.S. shores for embattled England carries stocks of food as part of its cargo. Also significant is the fact that this steady flow of food shipments differs markedly from those of World War days: Then the foodstuffs were in bulk form-boat- loads of grain and fresh meats. But now, with British and Allied shipping suffering terrible destruction, there aren't enough bottoms to transport both bulky armaments and bulky food across the hazardous Atlantic. Since the cargo space for bulky armaments cannot be reduced, and with the British food situation becoming acute, food is being shipped in concentrated and dehydrated form. Thus it is carried in the same ships with arms and muni- tions, making up relatively little space. The extent of these shipments and what they meant -to the American farmer is shown graphic- ally by the following list of lend-lease food purchases between June 1 and July 19: American cheese, 20,483,175 pounds; corn startch, 35,820,000 pounds; frozen eggs, 36,648,- 630 pounds; dried eggs, 4,458,650 pounds; canned fish, 1,083,052 cases; dehydrated soup, 4,400,000 pounds; soy beans, 9,070,000 pounds; dried beans, 40,770,000 pounds; corn sugar, 5,596,000 pounds; enzymes, 3,360 pounds; dried apricots, 9,986,000 pounds; honey, 3,557,300 pounds; enriched flour, 399,000 pounds; concentrated orange juice, 92,- 302 gallons; Vitamin A, 2,547,183 units; Vitamin B1, 3,965 kilograms; peanut butter, 1,762,000 pounds; lard, 28,662,720 pounds. Note-Management of the lend-lease food program is under the Surplus Marketing Admin- istration, aided by the U.S. Public Health Serv1q ice, the British Ministry of Health and the Anglo-American Food Purchasing Committee. Winston Churchill Phones It was hot in Washington. Everyone who could possibly get out of town had left. This did not apply, of course, to thousands of government workers, nor to hundreds of big-top executives sweating over the Defense program. Nor did it apply, at the moment, to two ladies, the beautiful Evie Roberts, wife of the ex-Democratic National Secretary, and the gracious Mrs. Lionel Atwill, ex- wife of General Douglas MacArthur, new military potentate of *e Philippines. Hot and a bit bored, Mrs. Robert and Mrs. Atwill decided that Washington needed cheering up. So one of them picked up the telephone, called the White House. 'Is this the White House?" asked Mrs. Atwill in a broad British accent. "This is the oversease operator, London calling. Mr. Winston Churchill would like to speak to Mr. Steve Early. And, oh yes, Mr. Churchill asks Mr. Early to pay for the call." There was excitement at the other end of the telephone for a moment, then: "Ask Mr. Churchill to wait for a moment. Mr. Early will take the call in the other room." But all Mr. Early got was some amused snickers. Later Secretary of the Interior' Ickes got a call from Winston Churchill, charges reversed. But the economical Mr. Ickes refused to pay for the call-even from the supposed Prime Minister of England. The Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles also received a call, and while he was willing to pay for it, he was the only one who kept Mr. Churchill waiting. His secretary said Mr. Welles was busy and that he could not speak to the Prime Minister for at least ten minutes. So passes the hot weather in Washington. Freezing Chinese Funds There was one unwritten chapter in the story of American freezing of funds of those two Oriental neighbors, Japan and China. It was published that the funds of friendly China were frozen as well as the funds of un- friendly Japan. But unpublished was the fact that China for four months had been asking the State Department to freeze its funds, but the State Department had refused. China's request was quite unusual. for most nations object strenuously to having their funds frozen. ,For instance, Switzerland, hearing that she would be included with Germany when Hitler's funds were frozen, argued for weeks. But in the case of China, many of her funds are in the hands of big Chinese merchants and bankers in Shanghai, who for business reasons are playing in with the Japanese. And they have been draining Chinese currency from the country. So Roosevelt's special Chinese emissary, Lauchlin Currie, was requested by Chiang Kai- shek to ask Secretary of State Hull to freeze, Chinese funds. This would have hamstrung the pro-Japanese Chinese. However, Secretary Hull refused. Twice Chi- ang Kai-shek made the request, but both times it was refused. In fact the State Department even denied that such a request was made, pre- sumably on the ground that it came not through diplomatic channels, but through Mr. Currie, who is only a White House secretary. Finally, however, when Japanese funds were frozen, Chiang Kai-shek got his request fulfilled. But it took Japanese aggression in the South Pacific to do it. STUPID Staff By Terence 'Tort, Dick And Harry' H ERE'S a must for anyone these hot summer days: the Ginger Rogers Tom, Dick and Harry bit be- ing shown currently at the Michigan. It's really a peach, and so is she, and I haven't given you many bum steers this year, have I? No kidding, folks, it's about the most entertaining movie I've seen out of Hollywood in the last seven or eight years, and being somewhat on the cinemaddic side, I've picked up quite a few in my roamings. It's all about a young girl who works for a telephone company. She goes and gets herself engaged to three fellows: one rich, one ambi- tious, one poor and unambitious. And therein lies a tale, and how. I don't need to tell you what Gin- ger Rogers is like. I've been follow- ing her (never could quite seem to catch up with her, darn it) since way back in the days of Roberta and Top Hat. And she gets better and more gorgeous every year. Anyway, like I started to say, Tom, Dick and Harry is really swell .. . and you're a bigger dope than I am if you miss it. Sidewalk Foremen WHILE I'm on the subject of thea- tres, thanks to the humane indi- viduals who conceived the idea of putting two glass panes in the fence around the front of the new theatre being constructed on State Street.I Makes it a lot easier to see what's going on inside, and if it wasn't possible to see inside, you'd break your neck trying to look over the fence. Looks like it's going to be a darn pretty building, and probably dress State Street up a bit, and it can stand it. Quite anxious to see it completed, and I hear it will have comfortable chairs . L.C.S. W. LOOKS LIKE things are going to be pretty bad for the ladies this fall, with silk stocking shortages seen, (ah, alliteration!), and more silk needed for defense. Been talking the emergency over with ye managing ed., and we did decide that what was needed was a campaign: Silk For Defense. Sort of like the aluminum drive, you know, only no need troubling the Boy Scouts again to go out and help col- lect silk stockings and silk - - er, other silk articles. Kessler and I will do that ourselves, relying on long years of experience . . . . We'll call it the L.C.S.W.P.-- League For the Collection of Silk- worm Products. We've even got a motto for it: "As the worm turns so goes the nation, unless you count your chickens before they cross the road." Tsk! Tsk! D ON'T KNOW whether you've been noticing the letters of one Joseph Andriola, social work student, re-- printed in this alleged newspaper, re: not finding his name or the name of other social work students in the Summer Student Directory. The fellow was quite griped . . but now itcomes to light that his name is in the Directory. On page 74, in the Faculty Section (I wonder how it could have gotten there: all the faculty cards are sent directly to the shop from the Summer Session offices, and are not even given a chance to mix with students) you'll find the name of one Joseph Phillip Andriola, Grad. 321 E. Liberty, Ann Arbor. STORM IN A TEACUP .. .
