Wickard Orders Meat

Deliveries Curtailed WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 (U. P.). —Agriculture department officials said today that the order reducing per capita consumption of meat to 35 ounces a week was only a preliminary move, and that further cuts may bring consumption to less than two pounds a week after the first of the year. A rising demand for meat for the armed forces and lend-lease shipments caused Food Administrator Claude R. Wickard to order a 12!. per cent reduction in civilian deliveries for the first quarter of 1943. Left untouched by the order, issued by Price Administrator Leon Henderson at Wickard’s direction, were deliveries of beef, which provides about 40 per cent of the meat supply. Officials said that beef also would be restricted soon and new cuts added to those already made

in deliveries of pork, mutton, lamb and veal.

2. The OPA prepared new retail price regulations for poultry which would raise prices only slightly, at all, over present levels. The order, expected within a few days, will affect all poultry except turkeys, which are now under price regulation, and will fix prices at net costs plus fixed margins.

Pork Usage Cut

pork supplies for the first quarter of 1943 to 6% per cent below the last quarter of 1942; mutton and lamb 21 per cent and veal 30 per cent, At- the same time packers were told that deliveries made during the final 12 days of this year will be deducted from 1943 quotas, thus allowing packers to deliver up to 10 per cent of their 1943 firstequarter quotas to meet shortages in Detroit, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Va., Los Angeles, Seattle and other West Coast cities near plane and shipbuilding industries, Packing plants that have closed down because their delivery quotas were exhausted will be allowed to resume operations immediately.

FAST U. S. GUNS BEAT ROMMEL

Stop Best Axis Tanks ‘Cold’ With Armor-Piercing Shellfire.

when the first fanks lumbered toward their lines in the world war.

The more the - British Eighth army used the American gun, the more devastating became the effect on the enemy. The Germans brought up heavy cannon of their own in an attempt to silence the new weapon, but they found to their dismay that the American gun outranged them and that their own shells were falling short of British positions,

Fast Movement Is Advantage

One great asset the American guns have is that they can move rapidly. Throughout the duels they deployed continually, blazing away all the time, Even the appearance of the new gun is terrifying, particularly during night fighting. It gives off a vivid and impressive flash as it fires and it: has an unusual shape that in night shadows makes it look like a monster waddling over the desert sands. I am not permitted to describe details of the gun, but I can tell something about how it was: conceived. An American army officer was sent on a mission to the Middle East to report to Washing-|. ton én the type of modern weapons which the British forces needed to stem Rommel’s drive for Suez and ‘then counter-attack.

‘Enemy at Your Mercy’

During the retreat from the Gazala line last July 1 traveled over hundreds of miles of desert with this officer.

“The weapon which we need out here,” he told me, “is a self-propel-ling anti-tank gun. It must have speed so that it can dash in and fight the enemy panzers and then dash away again. It is the obvious successor to the tank itself. The

gum. is. more important in modern

war than the tank. If you can use a tractored vehicle to propel under its own power a hard-hitting, allpurpose artillery piece, you have the enemy at your mercy.” Completing his front-line tour, the officer flew back to Washington and reported. . A few months later

-|the big guns began to arrive in

~They Boosted Morale

The American guns are said to have accounted for more smashed panzer units in the El Alamein offensive than the tanks did. Gen. Montgomery, watching row after row of the guns blazing away, expressed himself as being highly gratified with them, and British artillerymen said they gave a boost to the Eighth army morale. ~ “Before we got this gun we were unable to master the enemy tanks with our tanks,” one artillery man said. “The enemy at that time had long range guns on their panzers, often outmatching us 100 per cent in range. We would try to keep them off but without success. Then the Germans added to the hitting power of the Afrika Korps by shipping over large numbers of 88-mil-limeter, dual purpose guns. These really paved the way for Rommel’s victory at Gazala, and Bir Macheim nearly cost us Egypt. “Then we came back with this new development—the gun mounted on the tank’ chassis. In the words of our men who have watched it cut a swath through the axis lines, it is a perfect ‘booby-dazzler.’ And thanks be to President Roosevelt and the American arms factories, we are getting all we want.”
