Meat Rationinq
Knife Honed
- Per Cent sIosh

is Anticipoted

WASHINGTON, Dec. ID - (R)
The government honed its ra-
tioning knife today in prepara-
ton for a ID per cent cut in CT
william pork, veal, lamb and NUT
ton supplies for the first three
months of 1913.
The effect will be a mandatory
35-ounce limit a week for each
person instead of the present VOL
untary basis of 40 ounces a
week.
The Office of Price Admins
tration announced the new cut
last night at the instruction of
the nations new food boss, Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wickard.
The reduction is necessary, Vic
kard said, because of mounting
military and lend-lease require
ments.
Beef supplies will continue to
be restricted at present levels.
To relieve local meat short
ages over the Christmas holi-
day season, meat slaughters will
be permitted to distribute 10
per cent of their quotas for the
first quarter of 1913 the last IL
days of December.
New maximum prices on
wholesale poultry sales also be-
came effective and OPA expect
ed slightly higher retail prices
to follow.
The former wholesale order
fixed prices at the highest level
between Sept. % and Oct. 2. AS
a result, each wholesaler had an
individual maximum according
to his charges during that pc
riod.
The new maximums fix uni
form prices for all wholesalers
according to five "basing point
cities plus freight costs. The
basing point is New York for the
east; Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Seattle and Portland for
the west. Prices will be the
same at each.
