Americans Must Elat
Too, Advises Byrnes
/ By I.YI.K, C. Wll.SON
Washington, Marrli 12—(UP)—The
Idmtnlstrntlon begins today to apply
tight, control,1< to some big-hearted of
ficials who had forgotten that Amer
icans must eat, too.
That la the simplest explanation
|T the order announced last ninht, by
War Mobilisation Director .lames F.
Byrnes. His order will coordinate
ahgmientof all food and goodr—other
Minn for military imposes - to foreign
Countries. It covers everything but
pras Issued to meet a aerlohs over
|raft on our food supply.
The order, also, Is to conserve the
Bmtrican economy for such recon
Irrslon of Industry as may be |*w
Itble after Germany quits. Byrnes
let, up a rommlltce headed by I.eo T.
Browley, foreign economic admlnis
ator. with powers to Impose limits
pn gflts or sale of food or other
tiaterial to liberated and other hun
ry millions throughout, the world.
The committee will not have au
Ihorlty to Interfere with military req
■Islt.lons. But the committee will be
julvlsed fully and at all times of
Cvhat the Army and Navy require
>hd where they want, It. sent.
Byrnes ordered establishment, of
►priority of need" among all of our
Cvcrsees programs for shipment, of
all kinds of material. The United
Press was Informed, however, that
Min order was required only because
>f overdrafts by overly-generous om
its Is upon our overall food supply
He reminded all concerned that they
must, remember that, "aid In occupied
lountrles may lie provided under ex
isting law only to 'the extent re
quired In the wakn of battle."
If furher legislation Is needed,
Crowley's committee Is directed to
recommend It. Other committee
members are: Aststant Secretary
Will L. Clayton, stnte department;
Capt. O. Conway, War Shipping
Administration; J. A. Krug,. War
Production Board; lit. Qen,' Bit
lion Somervell, War Department,;
Judge Marvin .Jones, War Food Ad
ministration; Capt. L. II. Strauss,
Navy Department.
The capital rates It us a good
committee which will know the
difference between urgent neces
sities mid sympathetic, open-hand
ed generosity. Byrnes instructed
committee members that they were
not to delegate their authority. In
stead, he ordered them to attend all
committee meetings personally

"All other requirements (after
the foregoing i for relief, rehabili

civilian economy. Our foreign
commitments must not be nllowed
lo disrupt our own economy to such
an extent that Its capabilities to
met l Its own needs os well as the
needs of others will be reduced,

All proposals for shipments

Ruhr Is Heart Of Hitler’s Fortress

War Industries Concentrated In Area Now Under Attack By Allies
Hy NBA Hervlee
PERHAPS the eimplest wey for an American to vlaualiae the Ruhr
Basin U to Imagine the war planta of Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland and
Youngstown crowded Into an area of about U by 40 miles, along with
thane title* transportation systems and the beat coal mines of Pennsyl
vania and West Virginia.
Then he might run the Ohio River north and south along the west
ern boundary nt that area and place an enemy army on the opposite
bank He would then have a fair Idea of the Oerman state or mind aa
the American Ninth and Canadian Armies advance toward the Indus
trial heart of the embattled and dwindling Retch.
Dueaseldorf, shattered by Allied
bombs and American artillery, and
Wettel. target of the Canadian drive,
are the southern and northern
Rhine gates to the Ruhr, site of
one of the largest and best coal
fields In Europe
Between these cities lies the
great inland port of Duisburg,
And beyond are Oberhuuscn,
Muclhelm, the Krupp elty of Essen,
Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Hagen
and Wuppevtnl, forming an almost
unbroken chain of elites around the
river In whose valley Ilea the best
remaining source of Germany's In
dustrial power.
The Ruhr's Industrial history be
gins with Friedrich Krupp who, In
1815, turned out his first Ingot, of
east steel from a little forge In Es
sen A century later Krupp’s forge
had become the world’s greatest
arms factory, employing more than
180,000 workers.
RUHR IS BATTLEFIELD
Ruhr coal and ore made Krupp
and Essen, and the surrounding
cities. The Rhine and the canal
from Dortmund to the Ems River
and the North Sea brought Swed
ish and Spanish ore to their fur
naces. These waterways and net
work of railroads carried Ruhr
products all over Europe and the
world.
Tire Ruhr has seen war before.
Napoleon marched Ills armies In
triumph through It* towns. A short,
but, bloody fight, broke out when
Ocrtnnn Communist* seized the Es
sen factories In 1820. A year
later the French moved In and took
over to enforce their claims for de
faulted war reparation*
The French occupation lasted
three years, and was marked by
both active and passive resistance.
The Allies who occupy the Ruhr
this time will not find all of the
Industry that attracted the French
there 24 years ado. Whole fac
tories have been evacuated east
ward, and hidden underground or
In forests. But Hitler can't move
the coal mines, no matter how
much of their product he may
have stored away. And without
them this war-making power Is
seriously weakened.
He needs the quantity of their
output. When the war began the
Axis held 20 per cent of the world's
coal. Conquest greatly Increased
these holdings. Now even the Si
lesian fields. Hitler's other sizable
source of supply, arc gone. All that
remains of much Importance are
the mines of northern Italy and
the Ruhr.
The loss of quality Is equally
Important. The coking properties of
Rhur cool were superior to any
thing else that Hitler held or ac
quired. But even If Hitler could
still make steel without this super
ior fuel, he would be hard put ti.
continue long without Its other
uses.
For coal was the chief source of
Germany's synthetic oil, gasoline
and rubber. And although lass of
the rich prize of the Ruhr may
not mean Germany's Immediate de
feat, It will number the days In
which the Luftwatfe can fly and
the panzers can roll.

Strike Vote
Petition In
Boslon, March i2 — (UP) — Vital
war production In New England's
textile mills was threatened today by
the decision of 60.000 CIO workers
to petition the National Labor Rela
tions Board for a strike vote.
The workers voted unanimously
yesterday to Join In a nation-wide
demand for a 55-ccnt hourly mini
mum wage, first granted by the war
labor board but later overruled by
former economic stabilizer Fred M.
Vinson.
Members of the Textile Workers
Union of America (CIO), meeting in
Fall River, Holyoke, New Bedford
Chicopee, Salem, Nashua, N. H„ and
Biddeford and Lewiston, Me., decid
ed to ask that the strike vote be
taken throughout the industry with
in 30 days.
Union President Emil Rieve re
leased from their "no-strike" pledge
Feb. 20, preliminary to taking ac
tion to force application of the min
imum wage already granted by the
WLB
Meanwhile, the War Manpower
Commission mailed notices to 50
skilled workers who appealed the
serond New Bedford labor draft. A
WMC appeals panel will hear ar
guments presented by the 50 appel
lants who have refused to be trans
ferred to less-lucrative Jobs at the
Fish and Firestone Tire-Cord plants
where serious labor shortages has
been holding up pvroductlon.
While voting on the industry
wide strike petition, New Bedford
textile workers yesterday did not
take further action on the WMC
edict. However, local union officials
said they would be ready to act if
the appeals were refused.
Family Of 15
Face Problem
Montreal, March 12 — tU.P.i —
The Ascolt family — mother and
father and their 15 children — were
all together again today but their
biggest problem was still ahead of
them.
Joseph R. Ascoli, who was joined
by Mrs. Ascoli and the children
after a three-stage Journey from
Kingston, Jamaica, said he still had
to find a home for his brood.
The children, who had been set
tled in three rooms at a hotel after
they arrived last night from New
York by plane, were content to con
tinue their holiday living indefin
itely.
The Ascolls had only three
strangers as plane-mates in their
flight from La Guardla Field. There
wasn't room for any more.
But that wasn't the complete
privacy they had In the first stage
of their Journey from Kingston to
Miami, Fla , when they occupied an
entire Pan-American Airways Clip
per.
The trip from Miami to New York
was made by train. Four taxis took
them from the station to their
hotel. Tlie payload was 16 Ascolls
and 47 pieces of luggage.
The children, ranging four to 25,
said they liked New York. They said
they breezed through the city with
only minor mishaps. Lillian. 13, Elz
