The 24,450,000 Roman Catholics in \the U. 8. will not be exempted from President Truman's meatless Tuesday program, even though most of them are obliged by church law to! abstain from meat on Friday. A spokesman for the Citizens Food Conservation Committee said the President's request applied to {everybody, Some Catholics, vho {live in areas where fish is not plentiful, have a special dispensation to eat meat on Fridays.

Typical quotes from consumers opposed to the idea were ‘we were {rationed for four years, now we're going to eat meat,” or “the war is over, I'm eating meat.” Sharply illustrative of the restau~ rateurs’ Tuesday dilemma was this off-the-record quote by an operator at the Resturant Association conyention: es gush uli on my menus, my customers just jwon't come in on Tuesday or will ralse thunder if they do.

| | Comment by the restaurant operators made one thing clear—they'll follow the course urged by President Truman. They believe, eventually, the public will pick up the spirit of the thing, and probably will take formal action before the convention closes to signify their willingness to try anything the government feels is necessary. They also agree they're going to take it on the chin from a business standpoint, for a while at least. Here's what they say: | Merrill Tilman of Anderson: “We |started right out this morning, and {it’s obvious that it's going to hurt {business. A large percentage of our |breakfast and noon luncheon cus- | tomers are working men, and they need substantial meals. We will, at (least, be able to cut down on the {waste of bread which is one thing restaurant patrons waste most.” Daniel Lee, Mandarin Inn, Ine dianapolis: “1 believe our customers will go along if ‘we serve meatless dishes on Tuesday. We already serve a number of items without meat, eggs or fowl and customers seem to like them.” Ray 0. Zimlich, Charley's Steak House, Indianapolis: “A business which specializes pretty much on steaks will be hit hard by a meatness day, but we'll comply. However, I. do believe the public will have to be educated to the idea or therell be an awful uproar.” William G. Bowan, Muncie, preslaent ol the association: “I feel that a huge majority of the restaurant owners in the state will co-operate with the President's program. I also think the program will have a two-fold effect—first the conserva tion of much-needed food and the elimination of much waste, particularly of bread, and second, it may help to bring prices down.” A. L. Simmons, New Castle: “The restauranis surely will co-operate, even though it's going to hurt from a business standpoint.” James Duke, Kokomo: “I believe a general campaign to cut down on portions of meat every day would have been more practical, but of
