Secretary of State Hull an

the territory of metropolitan

Low Price Cuts
OPA Makes Broins,
Pig-knuekIes More
Attractive Than Steak

WASHINGTON, April 80 -
R-The OPA today revised
meat ration values, effective
Sunday morning, to switch
many American appetites from
round steak and center pork
chops TO other cuts, especially
spareribs. brains, tongues and
pig knuckles. Some people will
find more expensive steaks more
attractive on a point COMPARE

Round steak (both beef and
veaD and center pork chops
each were raised a point to 8
points per pound. Loin pork
roasts, slices of homeless ham
steak and beef flank steaks also
went up from 8 to 9 points per
pound. Round tip beef roasts
and veal sirloin or chops went
up from z to and veal leg
roasts stepped up from 6 to 7.
OTHER SHIFTS
Pork spareribs came down a
point from to 3 points per
pound, hooks and knuckleS from

drains, sweetbreads, etc. were
reduced point per pound each.
An exception was liver which
was unchanged at 6 for beef and
3 for veal. ~hank end ham,
fresh or ready-to-eat, was cut a

An oddly of the new sched-
ule is that, in coupons, round
steak becomes more expensive
than pOrterhouse steak, although
the latter usually costs about Is
cents per pound more in cash.
Persons having more cash. than
coupons may choose porter
