Tea and tomato juice cause marketing headache, consumers expert tells committee. Washington, D.C., May 11. Dr. Ruth W. Ayers, New York economist and formerly on the staff of the Consumers' Advisory Board of the defunct NRA, brought in three packages of tea and 21 cans of tomato juice to show the temporary economic committee today, and told members that deceptive sizes of cans and packages and lack of quality gradings cause housewives a good deal of shopping headache. She said that she bought all the food at retail stores yesterday, found 11 different brands and 17 sizes of tomato juice cans, with no way to determine quality except to try them all. Asking for 1 quarter lb. tea packages, she was given packages containing 1-2 oz. less than she had asked for. Even though the package was marked as to net weight. She pointed this out as being 'misleading,' even though the price may be adjusted to fit the eight

Packages for prisoners of war and internees. A Red Cross Canteen worker, Miss Mary Dougherty, inspects a Red Cross food package going to an American prisoner of war. Packages like this are sent regularly from International Red Cross headquarters in Geneva to American prisoners of war and interned civilians held by Germany and Italy. One a week goes to each American prisoner of war whose capture and location have been reported and one every two weeks to each interned civilian. Twenty thousand such packages were sent to the Far East on the neutral diplomatic exchange ship Gripsholm last June, together with one million cigarettes and other supplies for American prisoners and internees in Japan, occupied China and the Philippines. Much larger quantities are now on the Gripsholm pending final clearance with the Japanese for her sailing on a second trip

A few weeks ago the American Red Cross workrooms in London received an urgent appeal from the American army for 200,000 first aid packages to be supplied to American soldiers. Each of the packages contained twelve articles, the whole order thus involving the manufacture of 2,400,000 separate dressings, together with an enormous amount of labor in connection with the careful packing and shipment of the packages. This work, moreover, was to be carried on without interfering with the regular duties of the Workrooms in supplying their usual hospital supplies. It was a big order, but the Executive Committee telegraphed its answer immediately; "We will deliver first-aid packages as required, at rate of 15,000 per week beginning immediately". From the first week, this rate was exceeded. The photograph shows an "Inspector" passing upon the material for this order, while some of the completed packets are lying on a shelf by her side
