Shortly after Pj-ivate Hayes was brought into the accident ward of Monmouth Memorial hospital late yesterday morning, Mrs. Helen Gristman, this place, who was preparing to leave the train at the local station, told Captain Gurley that she had seen Private Hayes lose 'his balance and fall to the pavement on the station platform as he attempted to throw two heavy barracks bags over his shoulder. Question Baggageman On the basis of this report, po- Congress Quiz Of 4-F's Starts WASHINGTON congressional inquiry was set yesterday to determine why nearly 5,000,000 young men are mentally or physically unfit for military service.

Chairman Pepper said a senate subcommittee on wartime health and education would call in top-ranking health, military and manpower officials for advice at hearings opening tomorrow. Pepper said the public sessions would supplement private inquiries already under way into physical and mental defects among men of military age and among the general working population. "It is a national tragedy that nearly 5,000,000 of our young men are unfit for military service at a time when the manpower needs of the nation are so critical," he declared. Studies so far have covered analysis the selective service system of causes for rejection oi men called for induction, and army hospitalization experiences. "The health needs of our returning war veterans, including those discharged for psychoneurotic causes, will also be discussed at the hearings." Pepper asserted.

adv Probe Says lice listed the injuries as being received from the fall, but later as hospital physicians still worked feverishly to save the man's life, Captain Gurley obtained a statement from Charles Ball, station baggagemaster. that Private Hayes had been struck on the head by the grip bar on the steps of the third car of the train. Mr. Ball said that Private Hayes had leaned over to pick up his baggage, which was placed past the white safety line on the platform, and in so doing had leaned into the path of the train cars. This version of the story was then accepted, since hospital physicians said the injuries to the man's head showed his having been hit in some manner like the one offered in the Ball statement.

Still not fully satisfied by the version. Captain Gurley contacted the general dispatcher's officer and learned that the engineer of the train, Walter W. Stlckels, Point Pleasant, had filed a report stat-(See HAYES Page 21 CO. P. Blasts Food Program (J ISptcial to the Sunday Preset WASHINGTON.

Condemning virtually all phases of the government's wartime food pro- gram, the Republican congressional food study committee asserted yesterday that inefficiency In administration is responsible for "the insidious Illegal black market" The group said "almost tragic administration" had resulted In large spoilages of food, and declared "it is almost criminal to permit such wasteful conditions to exist in a nation at war." An unofficial body, the committee is composed of 44 Republican house members appointed by Minority Leader Martin of Massachusetts. Representative Janekins (R-O I is the chairman. Because of the great necessity for food and feed." it said in a report to Martin, "it was only natural that the New Deal's philosophy of scarcity and its tendency towards bureaucratic control would develop a chaotic condition in the production, processing and distribution of these most necessary commodities." Confusion Cited In meetings held at Boston. New York. Philadelphia.

Minneapolis. Princeton and other places. Jane-kins said, the group found "universal condemnation of the ad-minislratioa'l arrogant and unreasonable enforcement of conflicting and confusing directives and executive orders in rationing and price ceilings on food, feed and other commodities." It gave considerable space to a discussion of black markets, particularly with reference to poultry, and declared: "The committee found that the black market is a result of the Inability of the consumer to serure necessary commodities because of the administration's actions destroying the normal channels of distribution and forcing these commodities into illegal channels." The committee proposed two definite lines of action, if the Republicans take control of the house next January: 1. Legislation coordinating all food activities under one responsible head. Such action.

Ihe report said, is demanded by the producer, processor, distributor and the consumer. 2. Creation of a single central agency to take over the whole problem of government food surpluses, "both thoe purchased by the government for war purposes and those purchased direct from producers with the view to stabilizing prires at a parity level." Rap Davis Removal The report said that when it "became evident that the house would pass a bill last year setting up a single food office, and that Chester C. Davis, then war food administrator, "would Jogically be in line for appointment." President Roosevelt "removed Chester Davis frnm office I "By his action in removing Chester Davis." the R-publiran said, "the president clearly Indicated that he resented any efforts by congress or anyone else to bring order out of the chaos in the food situation, and that he evidently intended that all problems of food and feed should be under the direct control of the White House thru the numerous inefficient agencies already set up by him." The group praised the work of Herbert Hoover, former president, as food administrator during the first World war. comparing the job he did In 1918 with the present food program.
