NAZIS GRUMBLE ABOUT POTATOES Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 6.—Ger mans are grumbling about reverses in Russia and because they are short of coal and potatoes, Hitler’s own propaganda minister, Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, admitted today in in the Nazi journal Das Reich. He explained it by saying the people were “overworked and ir ritable.” “It doesn’t matter whether one wants to curse things occasionally,” Goebbel s wrote. “The reasons may be varied. One complains of the cold, another of the shortage of potatoes or coal, a third about Vie over-crowded trains, a fourth about the Eastern front, a fifth about the war in Africa. All this really is not bad because we are overworked and irritable.” (In Washington, the agriculture department said that early fall frosts had cut German potato pro duction 200,000,000 bushels and that the Nazis faced a possible rationing of this food, one of the principal items of their diet.)
