Wickard Urges
Rationiing Of
Dairy Products
Milk, Butter, Ice
Cream, Cheese
Shortage Forecast
Ss the Associated Press.

3s the Associated Press.
Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard has told the War Production
Boards Foods Requirements
Committee that dairymen can
not possibly supply next years
demands, and that as a conse-
quence the Government should
take immediate steps to limit
consumption of some dairy prod
ucts.
Mr.. Wickard, chairman of the
WPB Foods Committee, was re-
ported today by informed sources
as feeling that cheese should be
placed under ration along with
meat, that the production of ice
cream should be reduced at least
Is per cent below this years level
and that consumer rationing of fluid
milk should be established in milk
sheds facing short supplies.
Meat is scheduled to be placed
under rationing shortly after the
first of the year. Distribution
among retailers is being limited now,
and the public is urged not to buy
more than the equivalent of 212
pounds week an adult person.
Butter and Evaporated Milk.
The Secretary was said also to
have recommended that distribu-
ton of butter and .evaporated milk
be limited until rationing plans for
these products can be studied and
developed for establishment before
the winter is over.
The Foods Committee is sched-
uled to meet today to discuss the
situation further, but Officials said
there would be no announcement
of its recommendations to WPB
Chairman Donald M. Nelson and
Price Administrator Henderson un-
til these officials have acted on lin
itation orders and rationing.
An official Of one of the city's
largest dairies said there was an
acute shortage of milk and dairy
products in this area. He suggested
that elimination of milk products,
such as buttermilk, premium milks,
cottage cheese and chocolate milk,
would remedy the situation. He said
a large part of milk brought into
Washington was sold in the form OF
chocolate milk and buttermilk.
Enough for Every One.
"While the milk supply here is
short" the official declared. Il don't
think there is danger of any person
in this city going without milk.
especially if the by-products are
eliminated
