BERLIN. (AP)—Bremen port authorities announced yesterday that 116 ships loaded with nearly one million tons of food were arriving from May 1 to July 13 to alleviate the critical shortages in the American and British occupation zones.
While five of the ships were unloading in Bremen and others were discharging food cargoes in Hamburg and Emden, air marshal Sir Sholto Douglas, British military governor, told the Germans they had no right to demand continued sacrifices from Americans and Britons to feed their conquered land. He advised German politicians to collect and distribute better the available food stuffs.
Col. Hugh B. Hester, chief of the food and agricultural division of the American military government, said the 1,400,000 German school children in the U. S. zone would receive a ration-free meal at school daily by June 1. The two million children in the British zone have been receiving such a meal for some time.
