SMALLER i BREAD

LOAF ALLOWED

OPA Permits its Bakers to Cut Size 10 Per Cent.

‘WASHINGTON, March 16 (U. P.).—American bakeries had their government's permission today to reduce the size ‘of bread and rolls without cutting prices. The office of price administration | authorized a 10 per cent reduction in the weight of bread and rolls in line with the recommendations of the President's famine emergency committee. OPA said it would be impossible to cut prices, however, because | other factors involved “in the change-over to the lighter weight | loaf would eat up any savings. At the same time, OPA officials said an order would be issued Mon-

rant regulation which governs how much food hotel and restaurant portions must contain. The ruling as it now stands prohibits any reduction in the quality or quantity of food served by a restaurant or hotel without a corresponding cut in price. Aim At° Wastage Some public eating places were reluctant to start their food conservation programs without an official nod from OPA. If the customet does not like the idea of smaller portions, the eat- | ing place will be Tegre 0 give) him the usual amount, It was believed the order kind id vent food wastage and still permit | heavy eaters to get their fill The agency warned, however, that | such establishments will not be permitted to take advantage of the order, It said the bread reduction order also is only temporary. Other orders covering bakery products will be announced soon.

| ministrator of veterans’ affairs, urg- - \ing that the problem of finding a

suitable building in downtown In-| | dianapolis be solved by the veterans administration building one. As a member of the house appropriations committee, Mr. Ludlow assured Gen. Bradley that he would {try and get the funds for this purpose, “The Union Title building has | been definitely rejected by the vet- - erans administration,” Mr. Ludlow { said. “There is mounting opposition to taking over the Century building as the tenants there will have no place to go. I have advised the veterans administration to drop that plan. “The Fall creek ordnance plant! has been rejected as being too far from downtown, lack of adequate! transportation facilities and the

dition it. It does offer 200,000, square feet of floor space, however. |

H Dear Folks—

Indianapolis was young and festive in mood this week-end, bubbling with thousands of Hoosier high school students and fans attending the state cage tourney finals. . basketball interest reached fever pitch, overshadowing international Ler events (in Ly the Hoosier eye). Welcome banners unfurled on downtown streets greeted frolicking, visitors from the “big four” towns—Anderson, Ft. Wayne, Evansville and Flora—whose teams compete today for the coveted Indiana high schocl net championship. . As the quintets toed the mark, Evansville Central appeared the favorite but the traditional “anything can happen” atmosphere prevailed. Finals day was preceded by a teen-age hop to Woody Herman's band, sponsored by the city recreation department in behalf of next year's summer opera at Garfield park Meanwhile professional gamblers entered into the spirit of the tourney with such alacrity that Police Chief Jesse McMurty

adh

issued a rigid ban against betting on the out- :

come. . . . Elsewhere on the sports horizon, Our Caps iced the Western division, won the Teddy Oke trophy, and prepared to face Buffalo in the first playoff game (there) Tuesday. With but a single regular .season tilt left (tomorrow night), the Caps’ Les Douglas was skating neck to neck with Hershey's Norm Larson in the individual scoring race, each boasting 84 goals... . Speedway President Tony Hulman personally invited President Truman to this year’s renewal of the 500 miler and the Chief Executive replied he'd be “very interested.” . . . Lewis Gilfoy resigned as Howé high school basketball coach after seven years at the Hornet helm. .
