the games are to be played, in order
to prevent unnecessary travel.

May Ask Guests
To Bring Sheets
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoc1atSo Press.
LONDON, Dec. 21.-When in
England stop at El Rattrap Hotel
you bring the sheets.
That may be common type of
wording in hotel advertisements
before the wars over, it was indi-
Gated today.
The ominous prediction that
hotel guests may have to carry
along their own towels and possibly
bed linens was made by H. G..
Clarke, acting secretary of the
Hotels and Restaurants Association
Of Great Britain.
It was based on Board Of Trade re-
fusal to allow hotels extra ration
coupons to permit replacement Of
worn towels, and emphasized the
tightening of restrictions on textile
allotments to hotels.
"If we can't get replacements,
there will be nothing for it but to
ask guests to bring their own
towels" Mr.. Clarke commented. "As
stocks Of bed linen decrease, people
may also be asked to bring their
own Shasta"

Government 10 Ease
Butter Shortage Here
By Releasing Reserve
Depleted D. c. Stocks
Partly Attributed to
Low Ceiling Price
By ALFRED TOOMBS.

the Agriculture Department
moved today to relieve the butter
shortage in Washington and
several other cities by releasing
certain amount of impounded
butter stocks and by an effort to
mobilize the industry to make
shipments to islands" where
shortages exist. Roy F. Hen
erickson, chief of the depart
ment's Distribution Section,
made the announcement.
Butter distributors here said sup
plies were extremely low. Customers
in some groceries were being lin
! tied to a quarter Of a pound while
in other stores one-half or one
pound at time were allowed.
The shortage here was blamed
on the fact that the ceiling price
in this area is somewhat lower
than in several other sections of
the country. San Francisco, for
instance, is paying cents pound
more for butter than Washington
and Midwestern shippers are send
ing the bulk of their output to
the West rather than here.
One Supply Down so Per Cent.
One large local dairy Is getting
only 20 per cent as much butter
this month as it received late in
September. TIis organization was
rationing its individual customers
to one pound in a single purchase
and was giving its wholesale Gus
toners so per cent or less of what
they normally receive.
Transportation difficulties also
entered into the local shortage. One
grocery chain which used to receive
butter twice a week now gets a
shipment only once in 10 days. and
of smaller amount than formerly.
Mr.. Hendrickson explained that
civilian consumption of butter
throughout the Nation was far high
er than ever before. while this pc
riod of the year is the low point in
production. But the major reason
for the shortage is the heavy de-
mand for butter supplies by the
armed forces and lease-lend.
Mr.. Hendrickson said that the
butter industry was being called on
to equalize the distribution of avail
able butter throughout the country,
so that cities such as Washington
would not receive less butter simply
because the ceiling price was lower.
He said 1t might be some time be-
fore the effects of this plan were
felt here.
Warns Against Optimism.
The action to "unfreeze" some of
the stocks which were set aside last
month by WPB for essential Gov
ernment use may be expected soon,
he indicated. But Mr.. Hendrickson
warned against being too optimistic
about the quantity which would be
made available to civilians by this
move.
He said that approximately TO-
600, 900 pounds of butter had been
frozen In warehouses by the WPB
action, which set aside so per cent
of the warehouse stocks for Govern
ment use. About 5000, 900 pounds
have been earmarked for Russia,
while most of the rest will go to
Americas armed forces.
He added the Government now
was In position to determine with
some accuracy the amount of its
butter needs. Whatever is left of the
20 900 900 pounds which were frozen
viii be released for civilian con-
sumption.
Mr.. Hendrickson said, however,
that the butter shortage was going
to continue to greater or less ex-
tent for the duration OF the war, and
probably "for several years" after
ward.

MeatIess DAYS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 (UP) =
President Roosevelt said today
that the government is consider
ing instituting one meatless day a
week.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the plan is
being studied largely as a means of
saving oceanic shipping space for
the total war effort. He said 1t
would make 80 to 40 Allied ships
available for hauling for necessi-
ties to world wide theaters OF
United Nations war activities where
they are vitally needed.
He explained this would be ac-
complished by having most OF the
meat for United Nations soldiers
shipped from this country instead
of from such faraway places as
Australia and South America. That,
he added, would mean there would
be less meat for civilian ccnsump-
ton here, but would mean that
shipping space would not be tied
up for as long time in taking the
meat to the war theaters.

Not Major Move.
Says High Official

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28-CUP)-
A high government authority today
cautioned the American press
against regarding the recent Japa-
,nese operations against the Ameri-
can-heln southeastern Solomon is
lands as a major offensive.
This authority said that actually,
the Japanese conducted a recon-
naissance in force and the Japa-
nese withdrawal from the vicinity
of the recently established American
bases in the SolomonS did not
amount to a great victory for the
United States forces.
This high authority said the Japa-
neSe had landed about 700 troops on
Guadalcanal and that they had been
wiped out. There also has been a
series of sma:< attacks by japanese
planes, this source said, and the
American forces have knocked down
80 to 81 of the Japanese planes at
the cost of about four American
planes.
Before withdrawing from the
vicinity of the new American bases,
the japanese suffered damage to
some of their ships and some may
have been sunk, this source said
But he stressed that the news OF
the japanese withdrawal did not
mean that American forces had
achieved any smashing victory.
