WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. (U. P). —Heavy demands on the nation's supply of pork and canned seafood today prompted the OPA to return all pork loins, hams and canned fish to the ration list, effective Sunday. At the same time, “utility” grades (low grades) of beef and lamb will be made point-free. Values of creamery butter and foods will remain the same. Points will be increased, however, for cheeses and so-called farm or country-type and process

OPA Chief Chester Bowles said point vales for the choice cuts of pork—loins and hams—were re-

erage than the level that prevailed before pork was removed from rationing. * Point values for “commercial,” “good” and “choice” beef steaks and

Canned Fish

roasts will continue at their present high level, OPA said, because “many areas are in short supply.” Other beef cuts, such as short ribs, plates, briskets and shanks, continue point free in all grades. - Bowles said utility grades of lamb were made point-free because it was feared that such cuts would not sell with similar beef grades off the ration list. The return of canned fish to rationing was prompted by shortages in nearly all parts of the country. The more popular varieties—salmon, bonito, shrimp, tuna and yellow tail —were set at 6 points per pound; mackerel and sardines at 4. points and canned oysters and miscellaneous products at 2 points. Values of cheeses were increased because civilians are buying faster than allowable under the allocated supply. Cheddar and Colby cheeses were raised to 12 points, cream and Neufchatel to 6, and Swiss, limburger and Italian to 8. The OPA also announced that another 10-point red stamp — D§ — would be validated next Sunday and | would be good indefinitely.
