Storage Eggs Freed
For Civilian Buyers
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Oct. ga large guam
titv of eggs will come out of storage
and into consumer channels over
the next several weeks. trade sources
said today, as a result of action
/ taken this week by the Food Dis
tributing Administration and the
War Food Administration.
The eggs will be made available in
cities throughout the country, and,
as a storage product, may sell at a
discount under the price for fresh
eggs, dealers asserted. They also
may have some influence on reduc-
ing fresh-egg quotations. which now
are at OPA ceilings.
These storage eggs will reach the
market at about the same time that
egg production expands seasonally.
The result, dealers said, should help
relieve the present situation. in
which demand outweighs supply.
The number of storage eggs to be
released can only be estimated at
several million" cases.
Dealers said the action of the FDA
and the VIA indicated the Govern
ment had overestimated its demand
for eggs, and was both getting out
of the dried egg market and en-
deavoring to reduce the supplies it
had on hand.
Dealers said there was little differ
ence in quality between storage eggs,
which had been we'll kept, and fresh
eggs.

The Swedish press has been in

the Swedish government withdrew
permission for Germany to trans
port troops to and from Norway
through Sweden and the recent Ger

Record Calls for Bibles
BY the Associated Pres

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Oct. e-Publishing
houses reported today a shortage of
Bibles resulting from lack of suffi-
cient paper to meet demands for
the books.
Treasurer Henry Walck of the
Oxford University Press said 1t was
the first time in 100 years that
demands for Bibles had so far ex-
ceeded the supply. and that his con-
Germ was rationing Bibles to book
stores to percentages of their previ-
Gus sales.
We are supplying three or four
times as many Bibles as a few years
ago said MI Walck.
The American Bible Society, which
distributes Bibles at cost, reported
1t, too, was rationing the books.
The unprecedented demand for
Bibles was attributed to renewed
religious feeling instilled by the war,
