PAGE SIX PARIS NEWS, PARIS, TEXAS AFTERNOON, MAY 28, 1945 German People Have Enough Food Last Through June Occupation Officers Say This Most Critical Problem in Germany By DANIEL DE LUCE 15TH ARMY HEADQUARTERS if. The serious food situation facing the German people wns emphasized Monday by an official Army news release declaring tnerc were only "sufficient supplies on hand to in.st the civilian population "possibly through the month of June." "Military government officers believe the collection, distribution and provision of the minimum food required for civilians is now the most critical problem in occupied Germany," (ho statement said. Contributing to the situation, it added, is the fact that "displaced prr.sons have boon largely supplied with food from German rather than from imports." "As a result," the statement added, "surplus food stocks no longer exist in any substantial quantities." An intensive food production program is essential "if even the minimum requirements for the population arc to be met," the release continued. In an effort to cope with the situation, the Allied military government was reported distributing 23,000 tons of seed potatoes ar.d 1,500 tons of imported seed wheat. In addition, 678 tons of miscellaneous farm and garden of which 66 tons have been being distributed.

Measures recently to help meet the food crisb include: 1. The release of many German coitliers from prisoner of war cages to return to farm work in their home districts. 2. Removal of all military restrictions and prohibitions on the collection and normal movement of food. 3.

Recruitment of children not now attending school to pick bugs from potato fields, 4. Issuance of orders to German authorities to insure full collection from farmers of all food and livestock products undelivered under quotas for the present year. McCloskey Amputees Pass Examination for Driver's Licenses TEMPLE, Texas applicants all of whom lost a limb in combat, successfully passed the examination given them for a state driver's license at McCloskey General Hospital. Ray Goodman, examiner patrolman of the Texas Department o'. Public Safety, conducted the first driver's license examinations for amputees at McCloskey and will continue to give them every Friday morning for the solier-pa- tients who are about ready to be discharged.

"The examination for a driver's license restores confidence in the man who has lost a leg or arm," Goodman says. "We suggest special devices for motor vehicles regarding the man's particular physical handicap." Very few restrictions wore placed on six men who took the examination. A steering knob on wheel for one man who hat! Init his arm the elbow, a surrup device and a strong spring on the clutch for a man whoso loft Ifg had been amputated above trie knee, an artificial iimb only for another applicant with a right leg amputation, a brake and clutch device and a strong spring on the accelerator for a patient with a right leg amputation above the knee, were among the devices suggested. Patients who have a leg amputation below the knee have no difficulty in driving a car, Goodman says. Amputees who passed the exam- included S-Sgt.

F.ussell, 10, son French, Belgian Laborers Find It Hard to Handle DEATHS I I III nftREHT STATA Food, Clothing When One Is Shabby and Hungry By CYNTHIA LOWRY (Substituting lor Hal Boyle) ANTWERP The United Slate Army understands it is hard to handle food and clothing when you're hunghy and shabby, but it is bending every effort to halt the pilfering of its supplies. Thousands of French find Belgians, hired as laborers In supply depots, find difficult to resist temptation when confronted with huge quantities of things they need so bacily.

"The poor devils," said one port officer as he watched long lines of shabby workmen being searched by military police, "they haven't got enough food, Then one day they start unloading a shipload of candy bars, canned meal or cigarettes. I think under the same circumstances I'd do almost anything to get hold of a. can or two to take home to the kids." But when you multiply a can or two by thousands of workers it adds up to short supplies lor American soldiers. So every possible precaution is taken to dam the holes through which supplies leak into civilian homes and into the extensive black market. The system isn't perfect.

American cigarettes are peddled openly by black marketeers in Brussels and other cities; chocolate bars arc worth more than their weight in gold; the familiar olive-drab cans for Army rations arc seen frequently in places far from Army personnel. Each exit of this groat, rubble- strewn port is a search station. Sometimes the MPs at the gate garner a three-foot high pile assorted goods just during the mid-day frisking of departing workmen. We get everything," said Sgt. Walter Borys ot Enfield.

Conn. "All kinds of rationed goods, food and clothing. The only thing they haven't tried to get out the gate is a Liberty ship with a locomotive lashed to the deck, "They try to smuggle out slutt under then- hats, in their wooden shoes, under their armpits. They open cans of meat and sUitt it in hollowed-out loaves of bread, or cut it into sandwich filling. They hide stuff under tobacco in tobacco cans.

I've caught them with stockings stuffed in every pocket." Evan so. things still disappear. One room in a huge warehouse at the Antwerp port is known as the "pilferage room." In it are goods rescued from broken cartons or taken from the workmen. There's everything there from rubber heels to officers' pants. PASTOR NIEMOELLER IN Rev.
