WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 (U. P.).—A survey of food| production figures revealed today that American house-|§

consumption goes into effect

and later when coupon rationing begins.

Production figures of the agriculture department

showed that: 1. The amount of fish availi able this year will be approxi- | mately nine pounds per perji fon compared with. the 1935- - 89 average annual consump-

~ tion of 15 pounds per person. 2. Poultry—both chicken and tur- . key—available for each person during the coming year will be only ‘3.6 pounds greater than the average . 214 pounds per person eaten each year during the 1935-39 period. Government home economics experts said there was no need to worry about the possible trend to dairy products and vegetables for . meat substitutes.

Recall Depression Diet

7 ¥ They recalled that during the de- '- pression, when supplies were ade- © quate but budgets were low, they contended that meat or fish only three or four times a week would be nutritionally adequate, and that for a restricted period of time a moderately active grown person

+ could get along on only three‘quarters of a pound of meat a week. : War production board food branch experts pointed out that if 2% ‘pounds of “red” meat a week is allowed for each person, Americans would be a long way from hunger on the basis of past standards. Only during the last three years has meat consumption been above 130 pounds per person annually. A ration of 22 pounds per week would allow more meat than the average person consumed during the depression years. Per capita consumption in 1935—the year after the 1934 drought—was only 116 pounds, the lowest since 1889. Per capita consumption in 1936, 1937 and 1938 was 127.9, 125.8 and 21272 pounds, respectively — less #than 2% pounds per week. 145 Pounds in 1941

Per capita consumption in 1941 was 145 pounds which figures out to only a quarter of pound more per week than the 2% pounds now Veing considered as a ration. Thus : ’ the average American may be called upon to give up only the equivalent of one scant serving of meat each Poultry production is at an alltime high, having been increased from 2,500,000,000 fowls to 3,200,000, ~ 000. But allocations for the armed services and for lend-lease will . make only 21.5 pounds of chicken and 3.5 pounds of turkey available Ei for each American civilian during ~ the coming year. ~The same problem exists in “red” meat. Production is at an all-time high, but so is demand. In fact, supply will be about 8,000,000,000 pounds short of normal demand. Here are production figures in millions of pounds on meat:

VICHY NERVOUS

Dakar Governor Flies to See Petaih; Censors’ Rules Tightened.

By UNITED PRESS There was continued nervousness in France over French African possessions, notably Dakar and French North Africa. Vichy reported the fourth British reconnaissance plane of the last few days was shot down over Morocco. The Vichy regime tightened its censorship suddenly last night just after an important conference between Chief of State Marshal Henri Philippe Petain and Gen. Pierre Boisson, Vichy governor general of West Africa, which includes Dakar, opposite Brazil, Brief Statement O. K.d

Three dispatches sent to the United Press from Vichy arrived at New York as follows: VICHY—One hundred words censored. CHATELGUYON—Censored. CHATELGUYON—Censored. Chatelguyon is three miles -from Riom, where the Vichy government staged an indeterminate trial of Republican leaders held responsible for the collapse of the country in 1940, Vichy authorized a bare announcement that Petain and Boisson had conferred yesterday immediately after Boissons arrival by airplane from Dakar.

Trip Causes “Sensation”

Berlin reported later that Boisson went right from the conference to s an airport, where he took. a plane for Dakar. “This hasty visit and departure causgd some sensation here,” a German dispatch from Vichy said, as broadcast by Berlin. “Gen. Boisson’s quick return to Dakar was

government was not overlooking possible concrete backgrounds which might be behind rumors spread by allied propaganda that Germany has trying to obtain permission to send troops to French West Africa. It was borne in mind in this connéction that rumor campaigns of this kind have preceded all forceful actions which the allied powers have so far undertaken against French possessions.”

Denies Nazis in Dakar

German troops had arrived in Dakar or that Germany ‘had demanded bases in Vichy West Africa. A clue to the censoring of the Chatelguyon dispatches was provided by delayed advices in New York that Edouard Herriot, president of the republican chamber of deputies;

senate, and other parliamentary officers ousted by a recent Vichy decree, met at Chatelguyon last week-

end.

2 YOUTHS HELD IN THEFT OF 50 CARS

Indianapolis is a meat-packing center, Indiana is a meat-producing state and Hoosiers like their beefsteak and pork chops.

So the announcement of meat rationing is of especial interest here. A large chain grocery concern says this is the situation now: Smoked meat and fresh pork supplies are most lacking. In some items they are able -to furnish their stores with ‘less than threefourths of the demand.

But in a few weeks this situation will reverse, regarding pork particularly. A record run of hogs will increase the pork supply, but beef supplies wiil diminish, a It’s not that the beef production has fallen off, say Kingan & Co. officials, but the army and lend-

lease requirements are increasing so rapidly that their firm is only able to meet about 50 per cent of the domestic demand. “The farmers have done a swell job of increasing their production, but the military- and lend-lease demands have just been too great,” said W. R. Sinclair, Kingan & Co. president. He said that the American packers have shipped little beef to England in the past because the British bought most of their beef from Argentina. But the shipping toll in the Atlantic will make it necessary for America to supply most of the beef to the British Isles now. James D. Strickland, state rationing administrator, said his office had been anticipating the meat

rationing order but that it came so soon was a ‘“surprise.”

By UNITED PRESS Two Tokyo advocates of peaceful settlement of Russo-Japanese issues were in retirement today, indicating that Japan may be preparing to ke her long-expected blow against Soviet Russia. Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Haruhiko Mishi followed his chief, as| Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, in handing in his resignation. Both are diplomats formerly assigned to Moscow. Nishi was succeeded by Kumaichi Yamamoto, director of the eastern department of the foreign office. War Lord Premier Gen. Hideki Tojo, who assumed Togo’s portfolio, today announced his intention of creating a new “ministry for Greater East Asia.” With both Togo and Nishi out of the way, the military clique under Gen, Tojo will have a free hand in deciding foreign policy. ‘Tojo’s swashbuckling crowd is made up mostly of men who have long be-

lieved that Japan must eventually fight Russia. Tojo, indeed, belonged to the group which thought Japan should have attacked Russia in 1937 instead of China. Togo and Nishi favored the non-aggression pact between "Japan and Soviet ia wihch was concluded in 1941 and both of them: worked hard to prevent the dispute over fishing rights in Russian waters from boiling into war last winter. Troop movements on the Asiatic mainland—assumption by Japan of a defensive position in China and in Indo-China added to the conviction of military men that some major move elsewhere is afoot. Lieut. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, commander of U. 8. forces in the Far East, said in New Delhi that the dispostion of Japanese troops indicated they were preparing to defend instead of attack in China, and that there was a “good chance” a move against Siberia was impending.

Escape Method Of RAF Is Secret

LONDON, Sept. 2 (U. P.).— British officials said yesterday that the details of the escape of R. A. F. men shot down in France and other occupied countries of Europe—perhaps, even in Germany—would make one of the most dramatic stories of the war. But they added that it could not be told until the war is over. Their comment was made in connection with German broadcasts appealing to the populace to aid in capturing British Plane Crews. The air ministry said it could ‘not make public details of the escapes since it might imperil attempts of other airmen, still in Nazi Europe, to make their g%t-

Council; Budgets for County Pared. '

An attempt will be made before city council next Monday night to reduce the proposed $1.29 municipal property tax rate for next year to $1.28. City council last night disagreed on some minor issues by a division of three Democrats and three Republicans, thus blocking a showdown on the final rate action. Three Democrats were absent from the meeting.

Councilman Thomas Moynahan

asked further debate on it. Want 3-Cent Slash

C. R. Benjamin of the Indiana Farm hureau and the Indianapolis Taxpayers association, said he will demand that as much as 3 cents be Sut off the rate, bringing it down to $1.26, compared to $1.43% this year. Meanwhile,

During the first two days of hear-

a policy of granting an average wage increase of about 10 per cent to most county employees. This maximum rais¢ was indicated yesterday when some budget requests, containing 15 per cent increases, were trimmed to the 10 per cent level.

Increases Total $200,000

Wage increases throughout the county government will amount to about $200,000 in the proposed budgets. This will be offset, however, by reductions in appropriations for construction work. During discussion of the straight $10,000 salary basis for county clerk, sheriff and treasurer under a 1941 law which eliminated all fees for these officers, it was hinted that a suit will be filed after Jan. 1 to contest the law. Under the fee system, these county officers have been receiving from $15,000 to $25,000 annually.

was the real cause came comparatively easy. This was that the fever reaction was the result of water bacteria or their products of growth.

Devised New Solution

And to correct this situation a saline solution to use in injections) was devised. :

So with every container of dried blood plasma which is sent to our armed forces abroad, there also goes the liquid to use in the solution.

At first Dr. Banks’ discoveries were not accepted. One large concern pooh-poohed the idea, but eventually another took it up and within a short lime developed a $3,000,000 a year wusiness. Dr. Banks hinted at the situation in his 30-page report to the American Journal of Clinical Pathology. He wrote: “Various methods have been devised by different institutions to eliminate the occurrence of these manifestations with varying Yegrees of success.

* Fought Reaction.

“It was discovered that the prevalence of the reaction was looked upon as a factor which should be withheld from the report of the hospital and it was difficult to elicit exact information as to the incidence of occurrence of this reaction in different institutions that were investigated. “In some instances rather forceful measures were exerted to sup-

press any information which might|

be given qut concerning the occurrence of reactions. From various sources, however, it was learned that the reaction did exist rather prevalently throughout all secticns of the-United States, even though much work had been done to educate physicians to the desirability of eliminating this reaction.” And so today, the discovery made here nine years ago is fighting on

Sehistue 1 Christmas, no mat ter where a. man may be, and if you want to make it a cheerful one to your boy overseas, the postoffice has some instructions for you. If youre sending him a package, get it in the mails between Oct. 1 and Nov. 1. And don’t attempt to put his location on the address if he’s overseas. It should be either addressed to the San Francisco or New York postmaster and you must find out which. The details: Indorse each gift parcel “Christmas parcel.” A special effort will|. be made to effect delivery of all Christmas parcels mailed during that period (Oct. 1-Nov. 1) in time for Christmas.

Small Packages Urged

SIZE AND WEIGHT—In view of the urgent need for shipping space to transport materials directly essential to the war effort, Christmas parcels shall not exceed the present limits of 11 pounds in weight or 18 inches in length or 42 inches in length and girth combined. Nevertheless the public is urged by the war and navy departments to co-operate by voluntarily 'restricting the size of Christmas parcels to that of an ordinary shoe box, and the weight to six pounds. These departments have pointed out also that members of the armed forces are amply provided with food and clothing, and the public is urged not to include such matter in gift parcels. Not more than one Christmas parcel or package shall be accepted for mailing in any one week when sent by or on behalf of the same person or concern to or for the same addressee. PREPARATION—Owing to the great distance this mail must be transported and the handling and any storage it must undergo, it is absolutely necessary that all articles be packed in substantial boxes or containers and be covered with wrappers of sufficient strength not only to resist pressure of other mail in the same sack, but to withstand the weight of other sacks of mail which, in the long transit, may be piled thereon.

Allow Easy Access

Furthermore, as each parcel is subject to censorship, delay in handling may be minimized by securing the covering of the parcel so as to permit ready inspection of the contents. Many combination packages will probably be made up, including miscellaneous toilet articles, hard candies, soaps, etc. The contents of such packages should be tightly, packed, in order that the several articles may not be loosened in transit, damaging the contents of the parcel itself or causing damage to the covering of the parcel Christmas boxes should be inclosed in: substantial containers. [Candies in thin pasteboard boxes should be inclosed in wood, metal, or corrugated pasteboard. Sealed packages of candy, cigars, tobacco and toilet’ articles in simplest mercantile form may be inclosed within parcels without affecting the parcel post classification of such packages. Use Care in Packing

Sharp-pointed or sharp-edged instruments, such as razors, knives, etc, must have their points or edges protected so they cannot cut through their coverings and damage other mail or injure postal employees. PERISHABLE MATTER—No perishable matter should be included in any parcels. PROHIBITED ARTICLES — Intoxicants, inflammable materials (including matches of all kinds and

positions which may kill or injure another, or damage the mails, are unmailable. ?
