U. S. Has More
Money for Defense
Than Can Spend
WASHINGTON, July 7 — The
American government was in the i
unusual position of having more
money than other people knew
what to do with. The Administra
tion stood ready, willing and able
to spend virtually unlimited bil
lions for defense regardless of
the deficit. But the industries of
the country were not geared to
match with production of urgent
ly needed arms and machines,
the ability of Uncle Sam to
spend.
Budget Director Harold D.
Smith discussed the situation
with newspapermen, expressing
the view that it might be years
before the productive capacity of
American industry could over
take the ability of the govern
ment to pay the bills for defense
materials.

Ed Levin And
Dr. Levine To Do
Research King Is.
Dr. Victor E. Levine and Ed
Levin of the Father Hubbard Ex
pedition left Tuesday for King
Island on the U. S. Coast Guard
Cutter Atalanta under command
of Lt. Wilbur C. Hogan to carry
on a research project to obtain
the Vitamin C content of all
available foods, both plant and
animal, in this area which may
be used in times of emergency.
Special emphasis is to be given
to plant foods which are abund
ant but which are scarcely used.
It is generally believed that Es
kimos eat only animal foods but
few realize that native plants are
widely used. These plants could
be cultivated and made a valu
able part of the diet of white
people living in the Arctic.
Russia is carrying on a similar
survey in Arctic Siberia.
Anthropological measurements
of the natives will be made and
they will be typed for blood
groupings. Physical examinations
of the children will be given to
determine the extent of physical
defects and general state of
health.
Exepdition equipment this
year includes all the latest im
proved equipment and methods
used in this research. This equip
ment is furnished by the U. S.
Public Health Service, Washing
ton, D. C., under whose direction
this project is being carried out.
Father Hubbard’s Field Man
ager Ed Levin studied special
courses in Hematology an Physic
al Anthropology at Santa Clara
County Hospital, California, un
der Dr. Frederick Prosher, dur
ing the past year to assist Dr.
Levine in this research.
Father Hubbard was unable to
accompany his expedition party
from Seattle as he was delayed
in Washington, D. C., on busi
ness. He will arrive on the U. S.
Coast Guard Cutter Haida some
time this month.
