Bring Better Days- Childish To Blame The Allies
Berlin, May '20.
The British and American military governors, Air Marshal Sir Sholto Douglas and General Lucius D. Clay, told the German people to- * night to stop grumbling and demonstrating and get to work if they wanted the food and economic conditions Improved.
In a joint statement, the Governors pointed out that Germany's war of aggression was the direct cause of the present food crisis. They told the Germans that the United States and Great Britain for two years had been bearing the cost of supporting them. "Grumbling and apathy

GERMAN GRUMBLE
Dusseldorf, May 20. Heinrich Luebke, North Rhine-Westphalia Food Minister, today blamed the Military Govern- ment for the current food crisis and said the United States eventually might be forced to send wheat to Germany.
Addressing the second day's meeting of the new
Landtag, Luebke said: "We remember reports that the United States is due for a bumper harvest. If for political reasons they are not prepared to send us food, they may be forced to do so later for economic reasons.'

U.S. Navy Fund Vote
Washington, May 20. The House of Representa- tives passed and sent to the Senate the 1948 Navy Depart- ment Appropriations Bill after affirming a 10 per cent cut in the Navy funds ordered by the House Appropriations Commit- tee.
The measure provides US$3, 467.761,000 for the U.S. Navy during the 12 months beginning July 1. The bill was paased by a volce vote.
Attempts to wipe out the 10 per cent reduction on the floor were beaten down casily.. The House Democratic whip, Re- presentative John W. McCor-
mack, then expressed the hope that the Senate would vote the Navy ́larger amounts.
The House Appropriations Committee chairman, Rep John Taber, disputed the claim that A cut in funds for Navy person- nel would force a reduction of 70,000 in Navy strength and 12, 000 in the Marine Corps.
