THURSDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1943 TEE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOTJTH, NEBRASKA PAGE THREE Jap Government Thought Back Of Camp Outbreaks Short Wave Radio Messages From Tokyo to Internees Slay Have Caused Outbreaks Washington, Dec. 1. (UP) Rep. John M. Ccstello, D., Calif., said to day there was evidence t; suggest that recent disturbances in the Tul; Lake, Calif., Japanese Relocation center were "mpircd" by ihe Jap anese government and touched off by short-wave radio messages from Tokyo to pro-Japanese internees. Ccstello, chairman of a Dies sub committee investigating the disord ers, said the inquiry had indicated the riots were inspired in Tokyo "to make the American government look bad " and that the connr.ittee had received reports that leaders of the outbreaks were in radio contact with Tokyo. He said residents in the camp area reported that Japanese-language broadcasts had in terf erred with their reception cf long-wave radio pro grams during the period immediately preceding the disturbances, and that explanations offered by the spokes men for the internees were "un satisfactory." After the army moved troops into the camp to prevent further out breaks, he said, the radio interfer ence was no longer beard. The FEI is investigating reports that at least two short-wave sending sets were located in the Tule Lake area, he declared. U. S. Bombers Active WGULD BrEN OUT IN-LAWS Los Angeles, Dec. 1.

As always, perfect etiquette is nothing mere or less than good sense tempered with good taste." Mrs. Oliver Harrimau, author of "BOOK OF ETIQUETTE" Why Ihe time has come lo t!:e a new Icck at our FOOD in rela tion to the war. Everything from manners to menus is involved. And it's really up to you! Maybe you think a dab cf gravy and a fleck of chicken are mighty little things. But they are a part of our total food. They stand for the greatest single weapon in the war. Putting it plainly: There is not enough food available in this country to satisfy all the wartime demands at home and abroad in spite of food production records that have grown end grown for 6 consecutive years. Every single crumb of food has become im portant. What you waste someone wants! Here's Feed's Job 1. Cut cf our total food supply, we must be sure there's enougli to feed millions cf cur sons who are a long way from home. Many cf the foodi we like best are the foods cur fighting men need most. Meat is one cf them. And butter ana fats. And milk products. And canned goods. A fighting man eats as much in 2 meals as a civilian eats in 3. But no one begrudges him his appetite. The vast stores of fooc which must be set aside for shipment to our armed forces would fsed the entire nation for 10 whole days. But no one has been called upon to miss a single meal at home. 2. There must be enough food to keep a busy nation well-nourished and fit. That is a big job today. Because people who ere head-over-heels in war work have ti22er appetites and more money to spend on food. In fact most of the extra dollars that are being earned by millions of war workers are rushing into our food stores. That's because there are no automobiles, refrig erators and other everyday prod ucts to buy. Hence, control of prices to hold the cost of food within the reach of all. Without rationing of the country's most popular foods first come would be served all of available stocks. Long lines of people would be left waiting for foods that would be chronically sold out. 3. And the food that is not needed for Americans at home and abroad is used to fight a special kind of battle for us. It is sent to the Russians who are fighting our enemies. They need food desperately because the Axis has hit them hard in the bread basket. It is sent to our English Allies who can't possibly produce enough food for 46 million people in a country no bigger than our State of Oregon. (Canada sends England much food, but our food also is needed to help keep England going at top war speed.) It is sent to feed the people who are liberated from Axis oppression every time the United Nations win a new victory. This food is fighting, just as our planes and guns and tanks fight. It is helping the people on our side to shorten the war and save American lives. The food we now send on Lend-Lease amounts to only 10 of our total supply. It is an investment in Victory. As Americans, we have become used to plenty. We now must learn to be careful of food. Every day we still waste almost as much food as we send to our fighting Allies. Right now is the time to change that. Respect food. Make the most of every crumb. Do every thing in your power to make FOOD FIGHT FOR FREEDOM! Here's YOUR Job! 1. PRODUCE FOOD, where and when you can. Farmers are urged to meet farm goals. City families are urged to plan a bigger Victory Garden, to help out on a farm or in a food processing plant if possible. 2. CONSERVE FOOD. Can and preserve food. Cut waste. Stretch your food sup ply by substituting plentiful for scarce foods. Balance your meals for good nutrition. 3. SHARE FOOD. Fait the war's food de mands first. Share the supplies willingly with your armed forces, your Allies, your neighbors. 4. PLAY SQUARE WITH FOOD. Accept no rationed foods without giving up ration stamps. Pay no more than top legal prices under any circumstances. si monuci SH"1 II CONSfRVE ,UTaUAM if.
