...Quonset punched in two more counters in their half of the inning, the Stahlmen came back in the top of the third with their second tally. After Mel Lackey had grounded to second, forcing Jim Fava who had walked, Jack Forte belted a double to left, driving home the catcher. With two out and Forte on third by virtue of a passed ball, John Coppinger walked and stole second, but the inning ended as Allen rolled out.

MLN strategists thought they had a sure vote-catcher in the "more food" slogan. French daily rations-1,200 calories-were still gravely below the health minimum. Cried the Paris Combat: "On the food problem the Government has succeeded in rallying unanimity . . . against the Government." The Toulouse Patriote reported that housewives were saying, "We ate better when the Germans were here...
