Meat Raiioninq
Limits 10 Vary
Two Pound Average
Not Binding

WASHINGTON, March 10
Up Two pounds may be the
average, but tentative plans for
meat rationing would provide 81
pounds of hamburger or only /
1/3 pounds Of sirloin steak per
person a week, it was learned
today from persons participating
in the drafting of the program.
The wide discrepancy between
the proposed coupon costs of
meat has caused trade sources to
complain to the Office of Price
Administration that virtually the
entire civilian population might
switch home consumption from
steaks and other cuts to ham,
burger, almost exclusively. This
might send unmanag b c
crowds to the restaurants where
steaks may be eaten without
coupons, they said, and result in
serious financial losses to meat
retailers.
The figures were tentative and
may be adjusted because of such
complaints, however.
Under the plan, everyone will
have Is ration points per week
to spend-red coupons in his
canned goods book. Tentatively.
the coupon value of hamburger
was put at 5 points per pound.
sirloin at IL points per pound,
and other cuts at varying figures
which average about 8 points per
pound.
The same points must be used
TO buy butter, lard, canned SAL
mon and similar items. For this
reason, a person would have to
forego all these other things in
order to get the theoretical max
imum meat ration.
