FEEDING HALT Chief issue in the long series of backstage arguments over feeding Italy has been President Roosevelt's desire (1) to get the Italian people to play a greater part in the war; and (2) avoid a repetition of Greece. Already there have been rumblings of food rioting, and should Allied tanks and guns be turned against the people of Rome as in Athens, U . . . . ! - uie repercussions would De iragic. Theoretically, the British have agreed with Roosevelt When it comes to putting the policy into ef- I feet, Jiowever. it Is different Fol- lowing some disagreements last August and September, F.D.R. thought he had the whole matter ironed out at the Quebec conference with Prime Minister Churchill, only to find that In late October nothing had been done. Finally, on October 31, he took the unprecedented step of giving a direct di-rect order as commander-in-chief to the secretary of war. He wrote: "I have had before me the shipping difficulties in getting supplies to the civilian population popula-tion of Italy and I note that we have been building up some reserves re-serves for use when northern Italy collapses. "In the meantime, it seems to me that the situation is so acute, from the point of view particularly particu-larly of food in southern Italy, that some risks must be taken regarding supplies at the time of the collapse in northern Italy. That collapse may well not come until Germany Itself collapses, col-lapses, In which case the shipping ship-ping situation will be much less acute. "Under the circumstances, I have determined to assume the responsibility for asking General Wilson to Increase the ration to 300 grams throughout all of Italy that our forces occupy." Despite this categoric position by the President of the United States, Gen. Sir Henry Maitland Wilson, referred re-ferred to above, did nothing. Last week, Secretary Stettinius emphasized empha-sized shipping as- the reason why Increased feeding had not been given Italy. But he did not give the whole story. Actually, as pointed out by the President there has been accumulating ac-cumulating a stock pile of food for unliberated northern Italy. POORLY PAID CONGRESSMEN The struggle experienced by many congressmen to make both ends meet in Washington, and also the steady retirement of A-l officials from public life because they cannot can-not take the financial sacrifice, has an interesting parallel in the early days of the nation. Some of the founding fathers, be- ing honest men and without private lortunes, found It impossible to uve on their government salaries and were threatened with imprisonment. For instance, the great revolutionary revolution-ary war hero. Gen. William Moultrie Moul-trie was Imprisoned for debt. Also, the first associate justice of the U. S. Supreme court James Wilson, had to flee Pennsylvania to escape his creditors and was ' about to be served with extradition papers in Edenton, N. C, when he died. Also, John Rutledge of South Carolina, Caro-lina, one of the chief drafters of the constitution, was threatened with imprisonment for debt and only remained re-mained out of jail through the sufferance suf-ferance of his creditors. Today, U. S. congressmen, cabinet members, and federal judges remain relatively among the poorest paid public servants in the world. A U. S. ambassador ambassa-dor to London Is paid $17,500, while the British ambassador to the United States Is paid $80,000. A U. S. Supreme court justice gets $20,000, while a New York state Supreme court justice gets $25,000. PERSUADING NAZI PRISONERS Recently the army's shrewd psychological warfare branch installed in-stalled sound equipment at the edge of a Nazi-held port behind the Allied lines in France and offered the Germans a novel 'Trial Sur render." The message broadcast to the Germans went something like this: "Try it out for three days L you don't enjoy being a pr'sone" with us, you can return to your units." As a result of the offer, eight Nazis surrendered. At the end of the three days, four agreed to stay; the other four asked to go back. The army let them go. To their sur prise, however, the four came back a few hours later bringing more than 50 of their tired Nazi comrades to join them in the comparatively luxurious prison camp surround ings.
