With more than 100000 seanen

needed to sail the 1900 new ships
of the American merchant marine
slated for construction by the end
of next year, Rear Admiral Emory

The registration, to begin Sep

The enrolment will continue
through September l8.
There is no compulsion in this
registration" Admiral Land ex-
planned. "All that we ask of these
men is that they let the country
know who they are, where they are,
and If they are willing to return to
the sea. They will be called only
as the need for their particular skill
becomes acute"

and their Allies get their minimum

While the present meat supply is
the largest on record, according to
a statement issued by Secretary
Wickard, the total demand likewise
is unprecedented. For the current
marketing year, he said, the coun-
try's meat output will exceed $4,000, -
000.0 pounds. Yet the total demand
adds up to 270O0, ,00O, 900 pounds.
I'VE can't take meat away from

large enough to satisfy the abnor-
mally large current demand, caused
by the record high civilian buying
power. Under these circumstances.
he said, the Nation faces the prob
lem of seeing to it that the supply
is equitably distributed.
To solve this problem, Secretary
Wickard added:
"The committee unanimously
agreed that consumer rationing is
the most equitable method of assur-
ing each civilian his fair share OF
the normal total supply. However,
experience shows it takes several
months to develop. print and dis
tribute the material required to put
into effect a satisfactory system OF
rationing to individual consumers.
The committee asked the OPA to
speed up its preparation for the in
stitution of consumer rationing OF
meat as early as possible.
''In the meantime, to help meet
the situation. the committee recon-
mended that civilians voluntarily
conserve the so-called red meats
beef, veal pork, lamb and mutton
by substituting cheese, poultry, fish
and beans for part of their meat
requirements. Suggestions of various
ways in which civilians can volun-
tarily reduce meat consumption, in
cluding the possibility of 'meatless
days will be announced shortly by
the committe.
Packers to Hold Back.
"A substantial part of the record
slaughter in late autumn and early
winter will have to be conserved
against military needs, the needs ol
our Allies, and for civilian use ir
the spring and summer of 1943 wher
marketing, as always. will be lighter
than in the winter months. 1t will
be necessary for packers to hold the
meat back, and for civilians tt
understand that the huge supple.
must be reserved for later use.
The committee pointed out that
its program was not designed t,
relieve the local meat shortages nov
existing in certain areas, although
it will help toward this end. Actor
is being taken to remedy these situa
tions through the OPAs Forthcoming
revision of retail and wholesale mea
price ceilings"
Secretary Wickard said the com
mittee reached two definite con
clusions on how the meat suppl
should be managed to assure ''fai
distribution" among consumers an,
among seasons. They were:
Il. Completely fair distribution
can best be assured by rationine

livering our planes, tanks, guns and
other war supplies to the many
fighting fronts. Our shipbuilding
program is breaking records. The
ships are being delivered. We need
men to man them, particularly men
with the know how of operating

Conditions Improved.
Admiral Land pointed out that
living and working conditions in the
merchant marine were at their
highest level. Wages and other
financial benefits, he said, are the
highest ever known A widespread
program has been launched by the
United States Seamen's Service to
provide housing, medical care, in
formation and recreation facilities
for American seamen. New safety
devices have been installed aboard
ships and protection against enemy

fectiveness, he said.

Federal Cafeterias

Welfare Association Chief
Believes Six Tons Will
Be Soved Euch Week

Wednesdays will be meatless and
fishless days in the 50 Government
cafeterias operated by the Welfare
and Recreation Association. Capt.
F. w. Hoover, general manager OF
the association, announced today.
This move was taken, he ex-
planned, because of the meat short
age and because of the appeal by
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
for conservation of the supply.
I'VE hope our patrons will Coop
crate with us in this matter" he
said, land appreciate the patriotic
motive behind it. We shall serve
plenty of cheese and eggs to provide
the food values missing in the
meat"
About six tons of meat will be
saved each meatless day, he ex-
planned.
Meat wholesalers admitted there
is a shortage of beef and pork, but
the supply of veal, lamb and poultry
is more plentiful, they said.
Some wholesalers insisted the
meat shortage is not yet serious.
A spokesman for one of the
largest chain grocery stores said
there is more veal than beef or
pork, and that there is plenty of
lamb on hand Consumers seem to
want only limited amount of NUT
ton, lamb, chicken, or fish, he
pointed out.

officials were reluctant to comment
