WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.——The east-
ern part of the United States faces
a food shortage likely to continue for
the next 60 days. in making this dia-
closure i-‘ood Administrator Hoover
declared that the sitlmtion is the
moht crithl in the country's this-
lory and that in many of the large
iconsuming areas reserve iood stores
are at the point of exhaustion
The whole blame is (out by the
food administrator on railroad con~
gestlon. which he says also has
thrown the food administration far he-
hind in its program for ieediug the
allies. The only solution he sees in a
greatly increased rail movement of
foodstuiis even to the exclusion at
much other commerce.
