Churches Will Seek
Food Saving Pledges
At Services Today
Hundreds of thousands of Wash
ington churchgoers will pledge
themselves today to co-operate in
the local and national food conser
vation programs designed to make
available more foodstuffs for fam
ine-ridden countries.
The pledge is part of a three-dav
:observance, proclaimed by the Dis
trict Commissioners, of "Pood Con-1
servation Days.”
Jewish synagogues, which observe
; their Sabbath on Friday and Sat
urday, already have joined in the
pledge.
In addition to stressing the im
portance of participating in the,
conservation program. Catholic j
churches in the Washington area
will open a campaign to collect food
for foreign countries.
Children of the parishes are being |
requested to visit their neighbors to
ask for contributions, according to
the Rev. John J. Coady, pastor of
St. Anthony’s Church.
In many churches, information on
food conservation will be combined
with sermons observing Mother's
Day. The President's Famine
Emergency Committee seeks a 40
per cent reduction in domestic con
sumption of wheat, and wheat prod
ucts and a 20 per cent cut in fats
and oils use.
Raymond F. Garrity. chairman
of the Washington Food Conserva
tion Committee, declared the local
drive will enlist the support of all
persons but added that “the one
whom we feel can aid us most is
the mother of the family.”
"The importance we have placed
on the major role that mothers will
play in this drive to save lives can
not be over-emphasized. • * • Today
we would like every mother to feel
as though she has added another
child to her family,” he declared.
Food
'Continued From First Paget
headed by former UNRRA Director
Gen. Herbert H. Lehman, made pub
lic an appeal to President Truman
for doubling this country's exports
of foodstuffs in the next two months,'
even if this means rationing.
Urges Heavier “Sacrifices.”
Prof. John D. Black, agricultural
economist of Harvard University,
who helped draw up a 5-point plan
submitted to the President, ex
plained to reporters yesterday that
the renewal of food rationing would
be accompanied by drastic curtail
ment of grain feed for livestock. In
a letter to the President, the group
declared that the American people
were prepared to make “much
heavier sacrifices” and urged the
Government to act "with great cour
age and determination" to avert
fatal delay in meeting the starva
tion threat..
The suggestions to the President :
“1. Inorease the program of wheat
exports for the period April 1-June
30. from 125,000,000 bushels to 250.
000.000 bushels <a program which
still would leave more than a third
of the current supply of wheat and
wheat products for our own use.
“2. Increase meat exports for the
same period from the 700.000.000
pounds to which we are committed,
to 1,500.000,000 pounds (drawing on
Army and Navy stock and some
civilian supplies to speed shipments,
but replacing these shortly from an
expanded slaughtering program).
“3. Double export shipments of
fats and oils (by using supplies not
essential here, and by an expanded
hog-slaughtering program).
Treble Dairy Export?.
"4 Treble exports of needed dairy
products, especially cheese, and
evaporated, condensed and dried
milk (by increased production and
cuts in unnecessary consumption
here).
"5. Fulfill our rice export com- j
mitments by re-purchasing stocks
already in distribution channels in1
this country (still leaving nearly
three-quarters of the supply for
our own uses."
"The program." the group added
in its letter, "would double our con
tribution to the fight against1
famine during the present critical
months.”
Morrison on Way to United States.
'The Associated Press reported
from London that Herbert Morrison,
Lord President of the British:
Council, left yesterday for the United
States, declaring his mission was to
get a "higher priorty" from Pres
ident Truman for the battle against
famine.

“highest authority.'' said Mr. Morri
son would ask the President to ration
meats and fats, which still are
rationed in Great Britain. Mr.
Morrison will be accompanied by a
number of British food experts.
In another development yester
day. UNRRA Director-general La
Guardia reported that cereal ship
ments fell 65 per cent below re
quirements last week and that as
a result the Austrian government
has reduced food rations in Vienna
to 867 calories daily and Poland has
had to divert 20.000 tons of seed
grain to human consumption. Nor
mal ration in Europe is 1,800 cal
ories a day.
Mr. LaGuardia said loss of the
seed grain would mean a reduction
of spring planting in Poland by
242,000 acres, cutting eventual
food production by 10,000 tons.
Only 49,260 metric tons of cereal
were shipped of the required 160,
500 tons, the UNRRA chief said,
while no rice or fats were avail
able for shipping at all last week.
