Meat To Be RatiOned
In Near Future

next four months, Claude r. Wick,

chairman of the Foods Requirements
committee, this week urged all A.
mericans to conserve meat voluntar.
lily until the program is installed.
Secretary Wickard issued this
statement on Managing the Meat Su.
pply in Wartime
Following are the facts about meat
output and meat demand developed
through six weeks of study by the
Foods Requirements Committee:
l. The totol supply is the Ia. rgest
on record Livestock production is
the greatest in history. Packers are
handling and will handle more meat
than ever before. For the present
marketing year, the meat output of
America will be over "a billion pounds
z. The totol demand is also the lar
gest on record. Our fighting forces
need large quantities of our meat.
Our allies need large supplies. Mill
tary and lendlease schedules now calls
for about billion pounds, and may go
higher if ships become available. On
top of that, our civilian population
with the highest incomes on record
working harder than ever before.
want more meat than ever before.
They would take about Fl billion pou-
nds this year.
3. The total demand adds up to more
than the total supply, 81 billion pou-
nds of demand: "a billion pounds of
supply.
4. We cant take the meat away
from our fighting men. Also we must
keep sending our allies enough to
sustain their war effort.
The first problem before the Com
mittee, then, is now to make sure
that the supply is managed so that
our fighting men and their allies get
their minimum requirements.
The Committees decision is a WPB
conservation order, limiting the amo-
unit that packers can sell into civil
liam trade in this country The Com
mittee recommended that it be issued
as soon as possible. 1t will allow pa
ckers to supply civilians with as
much meat per capita as they have
eaten on the average in the past 10
years. 1t will give our civilians APP
proximately 2 1-2 pounds of meat
per week, as contrasted with the one
pound to the British civilian, IL oun-
ces to the German, ounces to the
Belgian. 1t is an adequate meat sup
ply. When you add in the increased
supply of poultry, and cheese and dry
beans we have, it provides a top
notch protein diet for u.s.
But Still, the civilian meat supply
will be less than civilians would buy.
Therefore, the second problem be-
fore the Foods Requirements Com
mittee is how to assure fair listri-
button of the supply among the peo-
pie of the Country We ought to man.

GASOLINE STORER
 IS, HEAVILY FINED

(Continued from Page D the base was about four feet deep, the marshal said.
 Dutra admitted the gasoline was his and that he had stored 1t about g month ago in anticipation of the gasoline raioning program. He said he drives his new car to- Scovill's where he works and that he drives his father to another local factory.
 It Was Hazard
 The marshal said that although the gasoline was buried 1t created @ hazard because there was no vent to permit the proper escape of gaS- oline fumes. Tn ordee to remove gas- oline from the drum 1t would be necessary that 1t be siphoned into another container and this .prac- tice would create an additional haz- ard.
 There also was possibility of a static combustion, according to Lieut.. Legge.
 Dutra Is the fourth Waterburian to be fined for illegal storage of gas- oline since the inauguration of the gasoline rationing program. Two were fined $26 and costs each and the third was fined $50 and costs.

which has again come under the same sort of desert siege which 1t withstood for nearly eight months last year when Rommel struck to the Egyptian border.
 Tobruk was pounded by German glInstoday-the Germans said 1t was encircled and at the mercy of Rommel with it's perimeter forts under attack-and there were strong indications that 1t might be surrendered to the enemy.
 The British high command told, however, of a defense of strong positions" around the stronghold while the main Eighth Army of Lieut.. Gen. Neil M. Ritchie fell back 30 miles eastward to defend the Sollum-Fort Capuzzo line on. the Egyptian border, including now-fa- nous Halfaya (hell-hre) Pass.
 If Rommel can take Tohruk he will eliminate the major stumbling block of his previous drive toward Egypt and the Suez Canal. With Tobruk In his hands he would have good port of supply, eliminating the necessity of long and dtffl- cult line of communications across the Libyan desert. At the same time the British forces in the vest ern desert would be denied supplies from the sea in their forward areas.
 On Russian Front
 On the Russian front the fierce German siege of Sevastopol ragged unabated on its 14th day and Brit ish military observers believed the the fate of the Black Sea fortress might be decided within 8 few days.
 Moscow advices said that Sevas- topol's women, some of whom al- ready are in the fighting lines as snipers, soon will march into bat- tie against 150,000 beSieging Ger mans and Swarms of tanks, planes and guns. On the Kl1arkov front, 1t was said, the Germans still are being held at a virtual standstill in their efforts to cross the Donets river and open up g northern path to the Caucasus.

 The Germans boasted that, two hours after expiration of a grim ultimatunn to the Czech people, the assassinS of Reinhard Heydrich had been trapped in Prague church and killed when they resisted ar- rest. Czech officials in London doubted the Nazi claim, however, and believed that the Germans had made the announcement as face- saving device after failing to find the killers or suppress Czech oppo- sition despite the slaughter of be- tween 500 and 1000 persons in re- prisal for the May 27 attack on Heydrtch.

 Points In Finding

The finding states that at about 6 o'clock the day of the fatality two employees of the w. J. Megin Inc. dumped a pile of lumber consisting of l6 foot lengths of 3 by As in a space between two other piles and arranged them in verticle rows to about the height of three or four feet.
 "The drivers helper, James V. Cuddy inserted a piece of board be- tween the easterly side of the pile dumped and the westerly sic of the next pile ohold up the easterly critical row which was shaky," the finding continues.
 At about 6 p. m. on that day, Andrew Laudate, @ 4-year-old boy who lived with his parents close to the lumber yard was missed from his home. He was seen a few lnin- utes after 6 p. m. by Cardino Mar timex, a neighbor, entering the lunl- Der yard. At approximately 8 p. m. nAdrew was fonud in the eaterly side of the pile of lumber with his feet near the base of the pile and his head toward South Main street lying o nhis back and covered with sixteen foot lengths of the 2 by As from his feet to his chin, lying crosswise across his body. He was removed to a doctors hospital and treated bu was found to be dead"
 The finding states that the space used for storing lumber Is also used to some extent for parking cars and is open and accessible to the public and children in the neigh borhood. Tt Is customary for chill dren to play in the yard and this fact is well known to the employees of the corporation"
 Under the present state law" the finding says, "and local ordinances there seems to be no basis for find- ing neglect of a criminal nature on the part of the corporation, its of- ficers or employees. This is in spite of the fact that the customary use of the yard is to pile lumber in rough piles with inconsiderable safeguard when 1t Is known that 1t is customary for children to play there. The only precaution ap- parently taken in the present in- stance was 8 prop of single board for the purpose of leavin ga flat top to the pile so that further load could be dumped on top of the one already placed there"
