BEEF PROCESSING IS CURTAILED SHARPLY

KANSAS CITY, Kas, March 16 (U.

. WASHINGTON, March 16.—Important ‘public figures back from Europe say our prestige abroad is being damaged by: 3 1. Uncertainty over direction of our foreign policy, especially in regard to Russia, and inability to assure a continuing policy. 2. Failure to maintain larger body of troops overseas as evidence of U. S. strength and determination to contend in peace for our war objectives. : 3. Fraternizing of our troops, especially officers, with frauleins. Not many overseas military ‘leaders are talking for publication, but some tell close friends. that failure of the administration to stand up

to pressure to “bring the boys back” has already cost us many of the objectives for which we fought.

Another current controversy: being shaped by military men. It may be added to agenda of group |

organized to fight military control of atomic bomb. Adm. Leahy in | White House, Gen. Marshall in China, and Gen, Bedell Smith in | Russia wield great power.

Shirts Still Hoarded

HOARDED shirts still haven't started moving from factories to |

stores. Reason is not prices on these particular shirts—OPA permits lo

increases—but it is OPA’s maximum-average-price regulation. Under that, a shirtmaker may sell expensive shirts, but must sell cheap shirts too, to average something like his prewar output. Otherwise he’s penalized. But factories haven't been making cheap shirts because, they say, they've been able to buy only above-average materials, OPA is working now on liberalizing the regulation. There's still chance of near-adequate supplies of shirts for Easter trade. Meanwhile OPA has warned hoarders to get their stocks down by April 1.

“Whether the weather be wet or whether the weather be dry, we'll weather the weather whether the weather be wet or dry.” That is somebody's quotation. It dust goes to prove that spring can't be far away. The robins are singing which is a sure sign. ry But to many, even a more positive harbinger of balmy breezes is the sign over a bar, “Bock Beer,” In fact, Bock beer probably is an older symbol of spring than the traditional red breast.
