 Washington, Dec. 2i-It's a cinch that the No. ? ration books wont be distributed by January but then, OPA never said they would be. espite the many rumors that meat rationing would start by the first of the year there has never bfien an official statemnt to that ef- feet because OPA officials knew what Q headache they were in for when. they first ordered the point system ration books.
 The printing alone of these l50.- 100000 books is a terrific job. The number of stamps in these ration books is equivalent to the number of all denomination postage stamps printed during i2 years. And the job of determining the point value of meats is another headachae since meat alone consists of 8 per cent of consumers expenditures in the United States.
 However, the fact that i50,000,- GOO ration books are being printed is fair enough evidenc that the point system will be used.
 More About Points
 The point system as used in Great Britain will provide merely a very general outline. Details will have to be worked out to suit American requirements.
 Already meat cuts have been standardized. There are now only l0 primal cuts into which whole salers may divide beef. And point value will be set on the wholesale cuts. This means that even If your butcher gets fancy and produces an unorthodox cut, he'll still only be able to charge the point value set on the specific primal cut.
