Shortages Of Bread And Meat Grow More Acute

(By United Press) Housewives stood in line for meat and bread today, but many got neither. Shortages of meat and wheat among the nation were growing more acute, a survey showed. The government moved to increase bread supplies in critical aeas through a lend-lease arrangement with millers. But at Chicago, representatives of the millers believed the plan would be of little help. They said 90 'per cent of the nation's flour mills already had closed. Under the program, the government would lend wheat to millers whose June grind is less than 37 V2 per cent of the flour milled in June last year. In another move to lessen the bread shortage, the Office of Price Administration was considering a sharp cut in sugar allotments to the baking industry. This would prevent bakers from turning' out higher priced pastries instead of bread. NEW SUITS Obie Stines, Etta Stines vs. Mack Yates, Myrtle Yates.

J., June 4 (UP) President Truman's requested labor legislation is "totalitarian in nature" and contrary to an American free way of ( life, former Governor Harold E.
