OPA plans to include with red meats and bacon such additional titems as cheese, lard and other cooking fats." - Present plans call for use of red coupons in war ration book 2 for all products added to the point rationing system in April. Officials pointed out that the meat rationing program will start at the beginning of a seasonally-low meat slaughtering period. For this rea-

be low, perhaps averaging roughly 1% pounds a week per person, although : the amount will depend greatly on how much butter and cheese a person also desires. When marketing of livestock increases

ration point values may be cut to permit consumption of larger quantities. The period of low slaughter usually extends from late April to early October. Lor : Requires Full Receipt The order contains -provisiong designed to bolster consumer protec-

It requires all retailers to give customers on request a receipt showing the date, the name and address of the store, the name and weight of each pork cut sold and the price received for it. “This will tend to act as a check against any disposition to evade the ceilings since it will automatically furnish the customer a receipt which can be used as evidence againstisthe violator in any civil action against an offending seller, or in criminal prosecution by OPA,” Mr. Brown said. - ‘The order also outlaws false grading practices and. forbids a butcher to require purchasers to buy any other food to obtain pork cuts. ‘The official pork price list must

Why we live in ’em down there. And say those army rations taste mighty good when you're out there.” It was something of a disappointment to Corp. Cooper that he had to be sent home without a wound. He wanted to stay right there in Guadalcanal and get well, , “After you see one of your buddies hit, you just don’t want to leave without getting in your punch. As soon as I get well, T want to head back to my old outfit.” I was hunting particularly ‘for Corp. Cooper because his ‘mother had phoned The Times yesterday. Instead I found: two Corp.

LITVINOV QUIPS WITH PRESS ON ‘RECALL’

WASHINGTON, March 5 (U. P.). —Maxim Litvinov, the Soviet ambassador, is displaying a jocular good humor these days—a contrast from his serious demeanor of the days before the great Stalingrad victory. . : : During -a chat with reporters when he visited the state department yesterday Litvinov laughed off

Jreports that his recall to Moscow ‘j was imminent and quipped:

“If they keep saying it long enough it’s bound to be true scme day.” ‘ ida : _ He also joked about the various suggestions that are being made for the Soviet’ army. - “Some people want us to stop when we get to our “frontiers,” he said. “Some want us to stop before we get to the: frontiers. Some want us fo cross the frontiers. . To please them all we'd have to keep moving

One-Sixth Litter Cases Lieut. Col. Guy Owsley, executive officer at Billings, ‘spdd today that this is the ‘second: convoy to arrive. The first group of approximately 200 men was sent here from €ast coast hospitals after being evacuated from England and Africa, “We bring ‘the men to the interior of our county to keep the coast hospitals clear forecontinued action,” he said. Only about a ‘sixth of the cases taken off ‘tke train were litter cases. Today, quite a few of the others were up trailing about in their gray pajamas and red corduroy bathrobes. They are walking tributes to the miracles of modern medicine, to the sulpha drugs and to blood plasma. Here and there among the group you can hear ‘stories of the wonders worked by blood plasma which the Red Cross blood banks supply. Some of their stories are stirring. Perhaps that’s the reason that the Billings ‘hospital staff and patients last year contributed $500 to the Red Cross drive. In a year both staff and patients have seen a lot. . This year they are well on their way to multiplying that contribution by four times. Fe
