In Memoriam Hogs, Poultry Starve in Suffolk Continued from Page 1 the same difficulty will face All Suffolk farmers when the harvest season begins. An overall increase of -5 percent in production over last year is anticipated in the county, he said, but he added glumly that unless some assistance is forthcoming transportation difficulties probably will nullify the gain by making it impossible to move the food---farm crops, poultry and hogs- to market, Big Tracks Idle One of the copnty's larger trucking concerns, which in the past has moved thousands of tons of potatoes to New York City every year, "has 30 big trucks up because they can't get drivers," McCullom said.

The trucks are huge six and eightwheeled vehicles. some of which haul immense "The railroad help us because it has few, any, refrigerator cars," he asserted. "The trucks have done most of the hauling in the past and the railroad hasn't needed the refrigerators. Now we need them. and the Long Island hasn't goi them and can't get them." Many poultry dealers, it was said, are selling off their duck: and chickens before they reach normal fryer size to cut down on feed requirements.

The procedure, it was pointed out, means a loss to the grower and an eventual shortage on the market of birds. a McCullom revealed after the meeting that he intends to propose a pian for use of barges belonging 10 a number of sand and gravel concerns for transportation of food to market. He hinted speedy action on the plan may alleviate the present situation. Most of the sand and gravel concerns are virtually idle, he explained. and their huge barges and powerful tugboats are not in full service.

Each tug, he said, could haul several fully-loaded barges. He would not elaborate further, but said he would disclose more details at a meeting, tentatively scheduled for next week, of a farm transportation committee under the auspices of the county farm bureau and the county truckmen's associalion. Members of the board's rationing committee, which hopes to meet wih Dewey and his commission, include Supervisors Edgar A. Sharp of Brookhaven, Arthur J. Kreutzer of Huntington, John M.

For this Lehmitz gave him $100. He was fully aware, he said, of the purposes for which Lehmits made use of his in- formation. Met at Secluded Spois DeSpretter began working for Lehmitz in 1941 and the two had many meetings in Silver Lake Park, Staten Island, and other secluded spots, where they solemnly agreed to a pact that each would refrain from ever identifying the other or to try to find out the identity of the other Nazi spies in this area.

Food Czar Assures Ample U. S. Diet Continued from Page 1 food policy advocated by President Roosevelt. He asked those who "can g0 along with this program" to remain. Criticism Unabated Congressional criticism of the Administration's food policy continued unabated, although some voices were raised in praise of Jones.

Representative Clare E. Hoffman Mich.) in a speech prepared for delivery in the House, urged that Congress "take charge," as it did in enacting the law over Mr. Roosevelt's veto, and appoint Herbert Hoover as "director of production, processing, transportation and distribution of food." Speaker Sam Rayburn said Mr. Roosevelt could not have found "a man in all the United States that can do a better job than Marvin Jones." Jones' Program Jones proposed a four -point food program to include: 1. A full allotment of materials for new machines, supplies, repair parts, shelter and storage, as well as processing facilities.

This is being done, but must be followed through and continued allocation assured. 2. Farm labor has and will continue to be a problem. There is a shortage of labor in all production lines, but much has been done to keep sufficient help on the farms to produce and harvest our crops. 3.

Production requires seed, feed, fertilizer and credits. These essentials must be planned for well in advance of planting time. 4. A fair return must be assured the farmer for his production. This must be related to other prices in fairness to all.
