By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Aug.
28, — Britain's austerity-pinched millions fell into!
a state of economic siege day, battling hunger and privation under a growing threat of national bankruptcy and ruin. The Labor government had laid its cards on the table. They spelled the skimpiest fare on the dining table in all of British history, not even excepting the grimmest days of the war. After Sept. 7 the British family of four will be able to buy only 80 cents worth of meat a week—about three pounds of beef or four pounds of lamb. Otherwise it will be salads, non-rationed fish, whale meat, horse meat or catch as catch can. Eating out, the standby of those who could afford to add to their home meals, was crimped further by a cut in food supplies to restaurants of 15 to 17% per cent.

Two ex-convicts who admitted forging checks totaling $5000 on two Indianapolis busines establishments were held on forgery, vagrancy and second-degree burglary charges, . The defendants, Calvin Webb, 29, of A545 Massachusetts ave, and William Sherman Parks, 21, of 2854 N. Denny st, went on a three{month spree with the money they obtained in the forgeries, they told police. Webb said he bought clothes for a girl friend and took her on trips. Parks admitted he spent his share to buy articles for his family and “have a good time.
Began Last April
The forgeries began last April 12, when the pair took 33 blank checks and a check-writing machine from the Industrial Sand Blasting Co, 229 Shelby st. They used these checks for forgeries, they told police. i + When this loot was spent, they stole 66 more blank checks from the | Non-Ferrous Foundry, 2205 N. Sherman dr., their statements said.
