Plundered Larder. On the verboten list last week were placed all the meringue, almond paste and cream cakes dear to the palates of Frenchmen. A drastic shortage of sugar, flour, cream and butter caused the percentage of sweetening in cakes to be reduced to 10% of the contents, and the sale of all pastry to be prohibited on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In restaurants a new decree provided that neither fish nor cheese could be served with a meat meal and that meat could not be included in meals served after 3 p.m. except on Sundays and holidays.

Louisiana's sugar planters, smarting un der Henry Wallace's restriction quotas, were reported going over in droves to the G. O.

He flew over the tawny Colorado Rockies (from Central City, where he attended a frontier music festival, to Denver, where he chinned with stockmen and sugar-beet growers). He puttered around the International Typographical Union's stock farm, chumming up to Holstein-Friesian cattle. He chatted with the San Francisco Chronicle's bumptious young Editor Paul Smith. He talked campaign strategy with Colorado's Governor Carr, Iowa's farm-minded Governor Wilson, National Chairman...

Virtually all gasoline was in German hands; so were the northern coal mines, undamaged by the Nazi advance. Coffee and other imports were scarce...
