"But I took a look a; the itiner-
ary of the Texjjj scout and called
it Quits." says the roly-poly Yan-
kee second baseman.
^ A LL. he had to do was to fty to
Portland to catch Oregon
against Montana State. He had to
shoot right back to Austin, for
Blair Cherry wanted the dope
Sunday morning. He hadn't much
time to get Texas ready for the
trip to the Pacific northwest
"The next stop of the Texas
scout is Chapel Hill to see North
Carolina against Georgia, and then
right back to Austin, where North
Carolina appears Oct. 4 He has
other little sidetrips. one to Nor-
man to watch Oklahoma and to
t-o;; Angeles to turn in a report on

"After 154 games or American

ries, that's no life for G'enntie. e> -

Stirn weiss believes that even-
tually colleges going in for inter-
sectional games in a large way
will own their own planes.
Stirnweiss, who had a bond in
landing the remarkable Choo Choo

continue to interview the better
footbu!l prospects for North Caro-
lina. visit the campus occasion-
ally. but there will be no more
coaching or scouting.
I have a hunch that Larry Mac-
Phail spoke to Stirnweiss about
bis chores during the off-season.
When the Yankees dropped to
sixth place in late May, a man
high in the New York club's coun-
cil commented on Snuffy*.? extra-
curricular activities, suspected
they were taking something out of
the splendid inhelder who in 1945

see not the only football nomads, concentrate on the main event.

V*ASnrXCTON. D. C —(NEA)—B.gsest issue Sawing every Amer-
ica.i -ruily tuday is whether it would be willing to ration itself
K .u< fl- oh a diet of w or uvi. meatless ami wheutless days
'.vteit—jtijt ;j heip ieod.Europe.
.Co—it's only the lecotid bigscst issue. Biggest issue, of edurse.
is how to make enough money to keep up with
today's tefeh cost ot living. Lower income families
are already having their meatless days. They
can't afford to pay present high prices. So volun-
tary rationing would work no extra hardship on
them.
But. as the pressure of high prices is increasingly
felt, tiie movement for sume kind of voluntary
rationing grows.
It's worth noting that this agitation for meatless
and wheatiess days* is so far an entirely American,
self-interest proposition. The aim is to force down
Edbiui prices for U. S. consumers.
The idea that American rationing of some kind
may be necessary does not seem, to have gotten across. Government
. nicials dealing with the international situation talk about it more
_:u.t more. But reports from around the country indicate that the
ass oi the people are not aware how badly off Europe is. If they do
now about it, they aren't concerned, or else they think the gHuatinro
lopeiess. so why bother.
rpHE great American taxpayer can, perhaps, be pardoned if he
views this whole business somewhat cynically.
It is all very easy for experts to figure on paper that, with the
17. S. now eating 400 million pounds of meat a week, one meatless
day would save 57 million pounds and two would save 114 million—
i ll lor relief. The next step is to estimate how this would bade Up
and make available for Europe one- or two-sevenths of the IS irtiWinn
tons of gruin being fed livestock.
Records show that consumption of meat under Herbert Hoover's
vului^tary meatless-day plan of 1918 was higher than it was in either
'J17 or 1913. There may be a gimmick in that however, for there
as a drought in 1918. which forced more meat animals to market.
But many restaurants had meatless days during World War II, and
:hc per capita consumption of meat went up. even with rationing.
Then, in 1946, there was a Famine Emergency Committee. President
Truman, Hoover and others went on the air in a dramatic appeal to
the American people to cut down on their food consumption and
make more available for war victims. There were ads in the news-
papers. Everybody got in on the big drive to save food.
TrnfAT bruught the results,, however, was taking the necessary
relief shipments out of U. S. supplies before they could be dis-
.ributed in regular trade channels to consumers. Commodity Credit
,'orporation was made sole purchasing agent for these supplies. It
.aised prices to make farmers sell the produce needed for relief.
On top of that, the flour extraction rate was raised for all milters.
Their inventories were limited Use of grain by distillers and brewers
was prohibited Use of grain for livestock feed was limited.
Alt these things were done by executive order under the second
war-powers act. That act has now expired. It is a question whether
Congress will put back such controls. Also it is a question- whether
it would be wise for the government to raise prices again, just to
Bet the farmers to market food supplies now held on farms.
The value of the publicity campaign in 1948 was to explain the
shortages to the public. Psychologically, it helped make people
satisfied' with the smaller supplies of meat and cereals available.
But this appeal to the great heart of the American people wasn't
the only thing which brought out the extra food that prevented the
war-torn world from starving.
Practical food men. who have been all through this battle of food
production, price control, rationing and postwar, relief, are in general
agreement that voluntary food rationing wouldn't do any more now.
