BIRDS SCARCE
In line with this summary of the
holiday turkey situation, Spokesmen
for the Poultrymens Cooperative
Association of Southern California
SAID that turkeys not only will be
more costly this year but may also
be scarce during the Thanksgiving
and Christmas holidays.
Turkeys this season are of eX-
ceptionally high quality, brought
on because of better feeding and
better culling but the supply is 10
per cent less than last year. they
said.
Officials said the rush for tur-
keys in the holiday season should
be sight to see because: Cd There
are more people in Southern Cali
fornia this year; (2) The armed
forces will take big cut of the
supply; 90 The decreasing supply
of beef and pork will make MI.
Turkey more valuable and tempting
and (4) Hundreds Of people are now
working at good wages and will be
able to buy birds for the first time
in years.
Nat Castleman, president of the
Retail Poultry Dealers association,
said turkey prices will be from 8
to 10 cents pound higher than
last year, depending upon where
you make your purchase.

Meat Ration TO Be
Two and KaIfLbs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-U.Po
Agriculture Department officials
said today it would be a good
guess" that meat will be rationed
at somewhat less than %la pounds
per week for each adult, with pro-
porticnately smaller amounts for
children
Meat rationing now is scheduled
TO begin early next year, probably
about February l. Civilians were
urged voluntarily to limit consump-
tion to two and one-half pounds a
week.
THE amount to be allowed each
person and the ration unit-Wheth-
er on a poundage or dollar basis
still are under discussion an Off
cial said.
Discussions between Agriculture
Department and Office of Price Adj
ministraticn officials have included
the suggestion that meat rationing
be based en- value, perhaps 81
worth per week for adults.

Rules
Revised

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18-UP)-
President Roosevelt today ordered
registration for selective service OF
all youths who have turned l8
since July l, l942. The registration
will be spread over the last three
weeks of December.
This will make perhaps 100000
more 18 year Olds eligible for SER
vice under the new draft law.
Mr.. Roosevelt issued his order
shortly after national selective SER
vice director Lewis B. Hershey had
set in motion machinery which
will bring some "teen-age youths
into the armed services, probably
within 40 to 90 days, and defer es-
sential farm workers. Hershey act
ed under the recently passed teen

RATIONING
In most of the nation, agriculture
officials expected liberal allotments
of tires and gasoline to the farmer
as an indispensable home front SOL
dier.
But leaders in some western and
midwestern states feared that ra-
ton boards might not take into full
account the great distances and
frequently inadequate railroad net
works which handicap the farmer
in the more sparsely populated sec

growers to save their best type

able to reap advantage from the
increasing demand for turkeys
which is bound to result from meat
rationing. He suggested that they
canvass the towns and sell their
turkeys direct to the consumer.

As in Time of Peace
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 25.-
Brazil marshaled her military
strength for the test of war and
moved quickly against Axis
enemies within her borders today
as her South American neighbors
acted to simplify and tighten her
task.
Argentina. Chile, Peru, Paraguay
and Bolivia granted their warning
neighbor the status of a non-bellig-
erent yesterday as Brazil seized II
Axis ships and closed three Axis
owned banks with assets of nearly
$35. 900 900.
The granting of -belligerent
rights gives Brazil the unlimited
use of the airports and harbors of
her neighbor as in times OF peace.
The hunt for U-boats prowling
the South Atlantic off Brazil was
intensified and an authoritative
source said three were sighted yes
terday and one attacked with un-
known results. A new dragnet was
laid for fifth columnists and enemy
radio operators.
American Tanker Sunk.
The government announced the
sinking of an American tanker, the
5,480-ton Louisiana, bound for Rio
de Janeiro with oil
The Axis vessels seized included
13 Italian and German ships, with
total tonnage of 10000. The
largest German ship was the 1862
ton Windhuk, which was sabotaged
by her crew and now is being re-
paired.
AS informed sources reported that
a gradual mobilization of the army
would soon be ordered, reservists not
yet called volunteered and from all
corners of the vast land came offers
to serve.
Large groups of citizens visited
the palace of President Getulio
Vargas to express their support.
Even Julio Prestes, the President
elect In 1880 whom Vargas ousted
by revolution, sent message from
his farm applauding the govern
ment's action.

The reference to colonies appar-
emily was directed to the recent
British invasion of Madagascar, an
action specifically approved by the
United States.
The Rouen raid, led personally by
the United States bombing chief
Brig. Gen. Ira c. Eaker, was said to
have killed 48 French civilians,
wounded 10l and destroyed 46
houses.

The letter remained the only text
relating to the Rouen raid released

Laval Government Protests
Against Bombing Of Rouen

VICHY, Aug. as (P).-The Laval
government has protested to the
United States because American
bombers blasted Rouen in German
occupied Northern France two days
before the Dieppe raid, it was an
nounced last night.
The United States Flying Fort
resses, in the attack last Monday,
centered their bombs on the railway
yards through which all coastal
traffic from the east and south must
be switched. French commentators
have expressed belief this was to
prevent the Germans from swiftly
bringing reinforcements to Dieppe,
38 miles away, and which was sub
seQuently the target of the wars
heaviest Commando raid.
The protest was interpreted as
raising the entire question of the
governments attitude toward Allied
operations In Occupied France. BY
it, the pro-Axis Laval regime was
said to have taken the attitude that
all installations in Occupied France
not actually of German military
nature were under the protection of
the Vichy government.
The text of the protest was not
available.
Aggression Of Flyers Assailed.
The Information Ministry sinul-
taneously published letter from a
Rouen organization which said "l5
soldiers found their death" in the
bombing. Since French soldiers are
not stationed in Occupied France,
the implication was that German
troops were killed and thus there
appeared a conflict with the thesis
of the protest.
The letter referred to aggression
OF American aviators against de-
fenseless citizens" and declared no
military objectives we're hit.
