feels justified at this time in impos-
ing in regard Is the use Of wheat and
wheat products In order to render
uniform the ruling herein made, how

products, except Victory bread, Vic
tory rolls, and Victory products, Glass
", SO prepared, can be sold, served or

This would specifically exclude all
