20q6 Civilian Meat Cul
Will Be, in Effect
Until December 81
Quote Distribution Not
Specified; Henderson
Asks Packers Aid
Py the Associated Press.

The amount of meat for civil
ian consumption was cut nearly
20 per cent today by a Govern
ment order intended to assure
sufficient quantities for the
armed forces and lease lend.
A preliminary to the meat-ration-
ing program, which will limit con-
sumers to about two and a half
pounds a week by the end of the
year, the order was issued to meat
packers last night by the Office of
Price Administration.
The order, in effect a rationing
at the packer level, does not specify
how quotas shall be distributed
among different parts of the coun-
try or between customers, but Price
Administrator Leon Henderson said
he had called on the packers to see
that "our available meat supplies
flow steadily and evenly into all
parts of the country" He said he
was confident the industry would
cooperate fully.
Mr.. Henderson also asked con-
sumers to comply with the Govern
ment's share-the- meat program by
holding down per capita consump-
tion.
Effective Until December 81.
The directive, effective until De-
cember 81, specifies the amounts of
beef, veal, pork, mutton and lamb
that packers may distribute for civil
ian use. Large packers slaughtering
more than 100000 pounds quarterly
were ordered to reduce beef deliv-
cries to so per cent of the amount
distributed in the same period last
year. Pork deliveries were cut 25
per cent and lamb and mutton 5
per cent.
Smaller slaughterers were instruc-
ed to limit deliveries only to the
amounts of their 194l deliveries.

BY GARNETT D. HORNER.


President Roosevelt is con-
vinced by a two-Week inspection
tour of the country that war
production is developing ex-
tremely we'll, and that the Nation
as a whole is far ahead of the
Capital in morale and war spirit.
The Chief Executive emphasized
those Impressions at press confer
ence late yesterday a few hours
after returning to the White House
from the trip that took him into
production centers and Army Navy
and Marine bases from coast to
coast.
He said he found war plants turn
ing out weapons at rate of 81 to
IS per cent of the objectives at this
time, with labor and management as
whole cooperating in a drive for
maximum output with all possible
speed.
He mentioned only Washington
itself as tagging in war spirit and
understanding of what is necessary
to win the war, laying the blame for
this condition to portions of Con-
gress the press and radio and some
officials within the administration.
Criticizes Congress for Delay.

ship that prevented publication of
any news about it until his return to
the White House yesterday, had
worked out so we'll that he is think

D. {. Budget Officer
Urges Larger Outlay
For Debt Retirement
So 900, 900 Surplus Seen
Due to Restrictions on
Municipal Construction

District Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler today recommended
that increased outlays be made
in the next fiscal year for debt
retirement and civilian defense
purposes, pointing out that due
to wartime restrictions on mu-
nicipal projects there otherwise
may be a surplus of $3,OOO,O0O or
more at the end of the 1914 fiscal
year.
The Commissioners indicated gen.
eral Endorsement of the principles
suggested by Mr.. Fowler when they
released his outline of current and
prospective District financial con-
ditions. but details yet are to be
worked out. They have not yet
passed final judgment on the pro-
posals of their departments for the
next fiscal year 1914.
Many Outlays Put Off.
Mr.. Fowler emphasized that the
District had what appeared to be
overflowing Golfers only because
meeting of many needs has been
put off because of war conditions,
priorities. and similar considera-
tions. He said, in reference to the
now foreseen 100000 surplus in
the next fiscal year:
THE use of this estimated surplus
in a partial reduction of the debt
burden of the District would. in the
opinion of this Office, be following
the dictates of sound business judg-
ment in beginning to put our
financial house in order against that
day when with the resumption of a
normal program of building con-
struction. the District will be faced
inevitably with a tremendous back
log of building requirements which
have been necessarily postponed on
account of war conditions"
Balance Carried Over.
Mr.. Fowler revealed that the 1912
fiscal year. which ended last June
30, ended with surplus in the gen.
eral revenue Misunderstanding the
separate highway and water funds
of $3,793, ,528. This "unobligated
balance" of course, was carried into
the current year.
On the basis of appropriations so
far for the present fiscal year, and
not counting additional appropria-
tions which may be made for some
emergency, he estimated there will
be surplus next June 80 of s6,1l7,-
449, which would be carried over
into the general fund for 1914.
Mr.. Fowler estimated the general
fund tax revenues for the 1914 fiscal
year at $43, ,l6O,OO and that with a
$4,000 900 Federal payment and the
surplus carried over from this fiscal
year the total revenue availability
for 1914 would be $55,277,449.
District department heads have
recommended outlays for the next
year amounting to s50146,09 but
with the addition of other obliga-
tions carried in Federal department
estimates. such as for Freedmen's

bases at Salamaua and Buna on the
East Coast of New Guinea and
hammered the mountain trails along
which the japanese were trying to
keep supplies moving up to the
front.
A special target of the Allied air
raiders was the Wairopi bridge over
the Kumasi River, which was at
tackled four times yestedlay by Aira-
cobras and Flying Fortresses. A
large section of the span, damaged
the previous day and partly repaired
by the Japanese during the night,
was reported destroyed by high ex-
plosives.
The bridge is the bottleneck of
the japanese supply line, for it
offers the only means of moving
heavy material across the rain
swollen Kumasi River, and hence
has been the ooject of daily attacks
by Allied airmen.

about which they cannot possibly
have any valid opinions because
there are so many military facts
which cannot be understood by lay
minds. He took some of the sting
out of this criticism by remarking
that it was normal tendency, with
hundreds of examples of the same
sort of thing since the first Ameri-
can Congress.
Cites Speed on Bills in 1888.
He pointed out that it has taken
three weeks to get bill designed to
curb the rising cost of living through
Congress, and recalled that in 1888
when the peoples pocketbooks were
hurt-the administration was able
to get immediate action on remedial
! legislation.
When the very existence of the
Nation is threatened from outside,
Mr.. Roosevelt added he believes it
is more important to act with speed
than in the case of purely internal
danger as in 1888. Yet, he empha-
sized. then we were able to get
!
we have delay.
Turning to what he described as
an unfortunate minority in the press
and radio, the President said some
writer's and commentators-Who
he refused to identify-are hurting
the war effort by telling the people
things which are not true.
This minority he said, like some
members of Congress, does not seem
to really know the country and
serves selfish sectional interests by
giving out sententious views. Some
OF these are written honestly, he
continued, but others for reasons
which he preferred not to go into.
Refuses to Identify Writers.
He emphasized that he was not
referring to all of the press or radio
and remarked that he had no crit
icism of most straight news stories.
He aimed his criticism mostly at
columnists and commentators. To
identify those he was talking about
would only initiate their personalities,
he said 80
A less important factor in the
Capitals unsatisfactory war spirit,
Mr.. Roosevelt said, relates to a great
many officials in the administra-
ton who are too disposed to rush
! into print when they should button
up their mouths.
Some Of these officials, he went
on. apparently are just seeking pub
licity; some may be fourth or fifth
down the line and so not have a
rounded view of the problems they
undertake to discuss; some try to
be too picturesque in their speeches,
and others may believe that higher
officials are not giving SUFFICIENT en-
phasis 70 their particular fields.

BY the press. He remarked that
