New Beef Regulations for Hotels, Res

A telegram from the Washington
Office of the United States Food Ad-

study of the beef situation in the
United States and abroad shows that
it is desirable at this time to lift the

Therefore, the present restrictions
of serving beef in public eating places
only one meal each day and the pres
emit voluntary program for house
holders requesting the purchase OF
one and a halt pounds bono beef and
~ pounds clear beef weekly should
be discontinued, but 1t is highly de-
sirable that the American public con-
sumo medium and lighter grades OF
cattle, thus conserving the heavier
animals for our own armed forces anc
those OF the allies.
The present beef consumption re.
strictions have been lifted for the fol
lowing reasons:
l. The extreme drought in tn
southwest and other parts of tn
country are endangering meat herds
AS a result, producers are rushinI
light weight beef to the market; thu
creating an unexpected surplus o
light cuts.
Q. All heavy beef is for the preser
needed for war export to our arm
and the army Of our associates.
3. The Food Administration re
