President Following
Tourist Routine But
Keeps Eye on Europe
By Joseph A. Fox
Stor Stoff Correspondent
U. S. NAVY OPERATING BASE.
Bermuda, Aug. 24.—President Tru
man is following a tourist’s routine
in Bermuda while keeping an eye
on developments in Europe.
Telling newsmen tonight that Mr.
j Truman is "certain to be here several
more days." Press Secretary Charles
G. Ross said the President had
another call Friday from Secretary
of State Byrnes, who gave him a
"general fill-in on what is happen
ing in Paris.”
Mr. Ross added that the President
I was being kept thoroughly informed
and that he had been signing some
papers from the White House.
Snyder Rejoins Party.
The presidential party holidaying
on the yacht Williamsburg w as re -
I joined today by Secretary of the
Treasury Snyder, but Mr. Ross said
there was no particular significance
in the Secretary's return. The
Treasury chief was only resuming
a vacation interrupted w-hen he left
the party in Newr England earlier in
the week. Mr. Snyder flew here in
i a Navy plane.
I Mr. Truman toured the island this
I afternoon with Consul General Clay
Merrell after a luncheon at the
latter’s home. This time Mr. Tru
man used a motor car instead of one
'of Bermuda s horse-drawn equipages,
and thus was permitted to cover a
long, scenic route, always attractive
to visitors.
The Truman trip included St.
Peters Episcopal Cathedral at St.
George, founded in 1622, and the
President inspected ancient altar
vessels valued at $200,000.
Si£ns Masonic Bible.
Mr. Tiuman, a 33d degree Mason,
also visited an old Masonic lodge
and signed the fly leaf of ceremonial
rible. The original flyleaf was signed
by George Washington, also a Ma
son, but a souvenir-hunting tourist
got away with it 30 years ago. The
President said he hoped history
I didn't repeal.
He returned to the Williamsburg
late in the afternoon and took a
swim.
Mr. Truman expects to attend
church tomorrow and has been in
vited by Rear Admiral George R.
Henderson to join him at services
on the base. Mr. Ross said the
President may accept or he may at
tend church in Hamilton.
Will Remain in Bermuda.
As Mr. Trruman's plans shape up
at the end of the first week of his
I vacation, he w ill remain here until
1 it is time to start back to Washing
| ton, where he is due Labor Day.
The Chief Executive still was be
wailing “the big ones that got away”
on yesterday's fishing trip when his
| catch topped the party's efforts.
Mr. Truman got in his daily walk
this morning around the base, this
time with Admiral Henderson. The
President wore slacks and a sport
shirt. The men on the base watch
daily now for his arrival from the
Williamsburg's Little Sound anchor
age. j
Vandenberg
_(Continued From First Page.t ;
attitude on foreign affairs in the
Senate.
Before leaving, Senator Vanden
berg emphasized the importance of
the United Nations General As
sembly meeting in New York Sep
tember 23. He is strongly opposed
to any further postponement of the
assembly—whether or not the Paris
Peace Conference is still at w’ork.
When there was talk of postpon
ing the meeting until after the
peace conference had adjourned,
he strongly advised Secretary
Byrnes against it. He expects to
return to this country. in time for
the opening of the assembly.
Will Not Campaign Further.
Senator Vandenberg does not ex
pect to participate further in the;
1946 political campaign. For the
first time in his career he will be
a candidate for election in absentia.
He said yesterday that while he was
engaged in representing this coun
try, either as an adviser to the Sec
retary of State in Europe or as a
delegate to the United Nations, he
would not lift his voice in partisan
party politics.
xiejjuits iium naicnigan are rnai
Senator Vandenberg's chances for
re-election are extremely bright,
and that probably he will win by a
large majority, despite CIO-PAC
and Communist opposition.
While It is Senator Vandenberg's
contention that this country and1
Soviet Russia can get along he has
been a strong critic of Russia’s at
titude toward the United States and
of Russian truculence as exemplified
in a long series of incidents in Eu
rope and Asia. For many months
he has been attacked again and
again in the Russian press—so much
so that he has come to be regarded
by Soviet leaders as ‘ Enemy No. 1”
among political leaders in this coun
try.
Re-Election Would Check Opinion.
Re-election of Vandenberg by a
big vote next November would be
a real check, therefore, to Soviet
opinion that the United States may
weaken in its present resistance to
Russian aggressive policies. Con
versely. a defeat for Senator Van
denberg would encourage the Soviet
in the pursuit of these policies and
in disregard of the attitude of the;
United States on world affairs.
The policy of the United States
toward Russia and her demands i
has stiffened materially during thei
last year, particularly since the!
London meeting of the United Na
tions last January. Those who have!
followed the evolution of the new j
policy are authority for the asser- i
tion that the Michigan Senator has:
played an important part in the
change.
Since Congress adjourned, Sena
tor Vandenberg has been in Mich
igan and has been active politically,
making two major adresses and
traveling and speaking extensively.!
His Democratic opponent is James
D Lee, assistant corporation coun
sel in Detroit—who has been promi
nent for years as representative of
the public in public utilities cases.
Mr. Lee, up to the present, has been
inactive in the campaign and has
made no speeches.

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA—MONTGOMERY ARRIVES FOR VISIT—Field Marshal Viscount Mont
gomery steps down the gangplank of the Mauretania on his arrival yesterday for a 17-day tour

Europe's Food Shortages Eased
Slightly as Result of Harvest
By the Associated Pres*
LONDON, Aug. 24.—The specter
of hunger still lingered over Europe
as the harvest season opened, but it
was a less frightening figure than
it appeared a year ago. From some
countries it already had been ban
ished: in others it was noticeably
weaker, but there were these where
stringent economy and outside aid
still were needed to hold the danger
in check.
In Britain and Yugoslavia, an As
sociated Press survey showed, pros
pects were less promising due to un
favorable weather: Finland hoped at;
least to maintain present rations; j
Greece w-as reported past the crisis,
and the Soviet Union w'as getting
set to end bread rationing. Neutral
Eire was so rich in food that an ice
cream shortage was a matter for
comment: neutral Turkey predicted
an all-time record wheat crop.
Summer storms took the edge off
bumper crops forecast by Britain's
agriculture minister. Tom Williams, j
and in the East Anglian “corn belt”
farmers said that the harvest might
be the worst since 1912 unless the
weather improved. British farmers
faced no labor problem, how’ever, for
160.000 German prisoners were allo
cated to help them.
wreaa nation Ample.
The British Labor government's
precautionary bread rationing pro
vided an ample allowance for nor
mal requirements. An early end to
bread rationing was predicted by
J. P. W. Mallalieu, parliamentary
private secretary to the minister of
food.
Reports from Associated Press
correspondents throughout Europe
told the following story:
Eire was not worrying about her
food supplies. There was enough
and to spare. The chef at a leading
Dublin hotel, favored by English
tourists, complained: “It's steaks,!
steaks, steaks, all day now. English
people used to be fussy about va-,
riety. Now they want steaks all the
day and half the night.”
Preliminary surveys showed that
the 1946 harvest would be well up
to standard. Wheat promised to
yield 400,000 tons, about two-thirds
of the country's bread requirements.
With oats and barley at about 160,
000 tons. Eire would be able to main
tain brewing and distilling and pro
vide animal feed and oatmeal for
human use. A bountiful potato crop
of 700.000 tons was promised.
Danes Maintain Rations.
In Denmark, monthly rations to
be maintained at least until spring
were: Butter, pounds; sugar, 3!4
pounds: rye bread, 17La pounds; :
white bread, 5 pounds, and grits,
2'< pounds. Danes voluntarily sur
rendered butter and sugar coupons
to help the more hungry peoples of
Europe in a project undertaken by
the Danish Youth Council.
For Swedish housewives, a slightly
reduced meat ration was the chief
source of discontent. Sweden's bread
ration was about the lowest in the
world, but this caused little com
plaint with plenty of unrationed!
canned food, fish, eggs and cheese. I
With difficulty, Sweden could man
age on her own grain crop, but
harvest prospects were described as
medium.” due to pest damage.

2.200 calories daily, but most people
were getting more. The former uni- i

lice the people were getting more
than that.
Finns’ Food Is Short.
Finland's food situation was far
from satisfactory, with grain pros
pects dark. Persistent drought di
minished September harvest pros
pects. Finland's children were
getting their full quota of calories,
put adults had to bear a deficit of
50 to 60 per cent.
Lifting of rationing on veal and
mutton brought an abundance of
meat to French butcher shops, and
for the first time since before the
war full quarters and even carcasses
were hanging in the shops. Prices
were high enough to keep meat off
he average workingman's table,
however, with choice cuts of veal
jnd mutton at about $1.50 a pound,
ooiling meat about 50 cents and
rationed beef at 70 cents.
Holland's harvest prospects were
good, but the nation faced a strug
gle to maintain rations. Here, too.
the food problem pressed most heav
ily on the small income groups,
unable to supplement their diet
with unrationed but high priced
foods. Holland depends on imports
for 60 to 70 per cent of her bread.
Tourists found Belgium an oasis
of good food, with ration books on
the W'ay out. The Belgian house
wife could look over the roasts and
cuts and take her Dick.
Bread Is Short.
Bread continued a tough spot, for
Belgian wheat production is only
sufficient to feed the people for one
month and this year the country
must import nearly 1,000,000 tons.
The harvest outlook was fair, with
an expectation of 340,000 tons com
pared with 451,000 in 1938-39.
In Germany's British zone condi
tions continued worse than after
World War I, although improve
ment had been made. A British
spokesman said the zone would pro
duce 60 to 70 per cent of its food
needs, with Britain importing the
remainder.

tinued UNRRA supplies in 1947 as
the army helped to harvest crops.
The semiofficial newspaper Rzecz
pospolita said there would be “no
shortage of bread in Poland this
year,” although the harvest would
be below average.
Russians Not Worrying.
The average Russian was not
worrying about food, confident that
the government would take care of
it. Izvestia said good crops were
being harvested in more than half
a dozen important southern wheat
growing regions. Figures were not
available, but the best opinion was
; that after the harvest Russia would
be able to discontinue bread ra
; tioning.
Russians were maintaining their
victory gardens, however, and more
than 1.500,000 Muscovites, with their
rakes, hoes and spades, jammed the
street cars, subways and buses to
the suburbs every Sunday.
A tight situation regarding milk,
butter and fats worried Swiss offi
cials, where butter stocks in July
amounted to only 660 tons, com
pared with 3.040 tons in June, 1944.
and 2.221 tons in June, 1945. There
was no undue alarm, however, and
few' complaints were heard when
new' restrictions became necessary.
1 In Yugoslavia, optimistic forecasts
gave place to "very, very poor,” fol
lowing a two-month drought on top
of an early spring dry spell. Corn
and green vegetables lay parched
in the fields. Yugoslavs, however,
were enjoying a brief—but tempo
rary—flush of eating, with pork and
beef off the ration and summer
fruits on the market.
Greece Passes Crisis.
Greece passed the crisis in her
battle against hunger, but it meant
little to the housewife who still
had to pay more than a dollar a
pound for meat and 25 cents for
a small loaf of bread. There has
been no drop in prices.
The last olive harvest was up
to prewar average, but UNRRA offi
cials said prospects for the Decem
ber crop were not bright because of
the dacus fly.
In addition to the good domestic
crop. Greece imported 9.600 tons of
wheat from Turkey and 6,500 tons
of barley from Iran during Julv.
Another 12.500 tons of barley mav
be imported from Iran.
With a wheat harvest estimated
by the government at an all-time
high of 5.000,000 tons, Turkey was
expecting an exportable surplus of
1,500,000 tons. Rationing of the
heavy-crusted bread that is the
backbone of the Turkish meal con
tinued only in Istanbul, Izmir and
Ankara, and there were indications
that in those cities, too, it would
soon be ration-free.
Italy Faces Hard Winter.
Blood marked the Italian govern
ment's new' battle for grain as the
nation faced another hard winter
despite improved crops. The town
housewife's basket was lighter as
food prices edged higher. At Cac
camo, Sicily, peasants for the first
time opposed the government's grain
collection program w'ith guns, kill
ing four policemen. Eggs, butter,
cheese and olive oil were slightly
higher on Rome's black market.
Fruit was plentiful but expensive,
meat unchanged.
Latest returns of wheat carted to
government granaries totaled 1.415.
868 metric tons, or 59 per cent of
the goal. Sicily, where trouble broke
out, turned in only 12 per cent of
its quota. The estimated wheat
crop of 6,000,000 tons w:as almost
2.000,000 better than last year, but
