Average American to Get

4 15 to 20 Pounds Less This Year.

DILLMAN United Press Staft Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 1.—A pose sibility that meat may be rationed . again appeared likely today following an agriculture department warning that meat supplies may become increasingly scarce. Well informed department spokesmen pointed out, however, that

daction this year would be about 2,000,000000 pounds less than the record output of 24,700,000,000 pounds in 1044. It said pork would be somewhat more plentiful and beef, veal and lamb more scarce. Next year, it added, smaller production and a continued downward trend in beef and lamb production

145 Pounds Per Capita The result will be that the average American will eat about 145 150 pounds of meat this year, from 15 to 20 pounds less than like. Economic Stabilizer Chester Bowles already has said he is ready to recommend rationing if the food situation does not improve within the next few months. Chester Davis, head of President

mend rationing believes that the meat situation should be watched. Mr. Truman himself consistently has said that rationing will be ordered if it is necessary. Most food experts agreed that possible meat rationing hinges on the amount of livestock feed that available, The government's present policy is to discourage live-

their grain for food. Feed Plantings Heavy

There are some rethat the corn crop will top the government's 3,000,000,000bushel] goal. case, there may be enough both for livestock and tables. would rule out the possibility te meat shortage that rationing necessary. agriculture department said producers already had inditendency to market their said about 10 per cent more would be marketed this year they would weigh less because farmers are not feeding them to heavier weights. There is no such trend in cattle slaughterings yet because pasture generally has been good. If there should be a drought or if feed remains scarce this fall, growers probably will begin marketing their cattle.

Mr. Whitney could draw only from this fund, assuming he could find way (as C. I. O.-P. A. { C. did) to circumvent federal laws limiting labor political contributions. NOTE: Whitney union has large Canadian investments. Of insurance system's bond holdings, about $21 million are U. S., about $17 million Canadian. Rail bond holdings are divided $800,000 in U.

SAYS OPA MEAT CONTROL FAILING

Institute Reports Prices Are 30 Pct. Over Ceiling. .

CHICAGO, June, 1 (U, P.).—Most housewives are paying about 30 per cent more than OPA ceiling prices for round steaks, rib roasts and chuck roasts, the American Meat Institute asserted today. The institute said it based this figure upon shopping surveys made in 11 cities by two independent research agencies. This is evidence, the institute said, “of the complete failure of the OPA slaughter control program, which was presented as a cure for the black market.” A table said to show “fictional prices and factual prices” of beef was released by the institute. It includes peak prices for beef reached during the inflationary period after world war I. The table:

Cuts OPA Actual Peak After “Ceiling” Prices World Prices Paid ar 1 Per Lb, Per Lb, Per Lb, Round Steaks 40.8¢c 53.50 41.6c Rib Roasts. ..22.6¢c 42.5¢ 35.2¢ Chuck Roasts 30.1c 39.1c 29.7¢

Report Low Purchases

The meat institute also stated that in the week ending May 25 10 legitimate meat packing companies were able to purchase only one-third of the cattle they were

ernment’s control program. This indicates, the institute said, “that the mere establishment of a quota does not necessarily pérmit a company to obtain this quota and stay within OPA compliance.” Meantime, Swift & Co., also charging that the OPA has failed to halt a “raging black market,” reported today that its beef business has dropped to the lowest level in the company’s 61-year history.

PARADE TRIBUTE T0 AUTO TRADE

Event Is Climax of Golden Jubilee in Detroit.

DETROIT, June 1 (U, PJ). Threatening weather notwithstanding, 10,000 persons were scheduled to march down gold-painted Woodward ave, today in a giant Motor

City cavalcade climaxing the automotive golden jubilee. Jubilee officials estimated that 750,000 parade-lovers would line the city’s main thoroughfare at the 2:30 p. m. starting time. But the weatherman’s forecast of rain and colder probably will hold the figure down. Nonetheless, the show will go on with 30 bands, almost 100 floats, and some 1000 motor vehicles—including 254 cars more than 30 years old. Sharing honor places in the cav-. alcade with national, state and city officials will be 14 pioneer manufacturers, dealers and automotive workers honored at a special banquet and pageant last night. 3-Hour Pageant The three-hour pageant depicted the history of the “horseless carriage” from the “it'll never last” stage of the. late '90’s to the present day.
