By the Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
At least Alb persons met death by
violence in the United States during
the long holiday week end. as the
Nation observed its second Christ
mas of the war.
Wartime duties and restrictions
sharply reduced motor travel. yet
highway accidents slowly mounted
until 255 lives were lost in the four
day period beginning Christmas eve
and ending early today.
The traffic death rate was far I'M
der last year, however, when 1874
such deaths had been reported by
dawn of December Is.
Mishaps in homes, fires, shootings
and other miscellaneous causes
brought death this year to 1913 per-
sons.
California recorded the most
deaths this years.. of which "a
died in traffic accidents Illinois
was second with 81 fatalities.

Division of Food
Army and Leose-Lend
Percentages Given
y the Associated Press.


Here is an Agriculture Depart
ment breakdown showing what per-
centage of Americas food must be
diverted from civilian use under the
rationing to meet military and lease
lend requirements:
Meats-Beef and veal. about 20 to
Is per cent. most of which will go
to the armed forces; pork, 30 to 40
per cent, mostly for lease-lend:
lamb and mutton. about 10 to Is per
cent. mostly for lease-lend
Canned and dried fruits and vege-
tables-about so per cent overall,
most of the canned goods going to
the military with the Allies taking
the larger part of the dried food.
Dairy products-60 per cent of all
cheese, the majority for lease-lend;
20 to Is per cent of the butter,
mostly for the armed forces; prac-
tically all the powdered milk for
lease-lend; evaporated milk. a small
percentage because of good sup
plies.
Canned fish--About IS per cent
of the total pack, with the armed
forces getting the bulk of the salmon
requirements and the Allies most
Of the sardine and pilchard pack.
Poultry products-About Is per
cent of egg production for the armed
forces, little for lease-lend. There
will be a negligible reduction in
civilian supplies of chickens as pro-
duction has increased greatly.
A department spokesman pointed
out these percentages were only
estimates and were subject to varia-
tons up and down depending on
the military situation.
