WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. UP)-
The Office of Price Administration
set ration values of four to SIX
points pound on neWly-rationed
jams and jellies today, maintained
the value of creamery butter at 6
points and raised margarine to six
points a pound.
Fruit spreads, the latest addition
to the ration list, will go on sale
Sunday after a week long freeze
imposed to prevent sh-buying
and to permit dealers to stock their
shelves.
The OPA ordered general reduc-
tions in meat ration values and in
creases in canned fruits in its
monthly readjustment to provide
for chances in the supply C 10
toned foods.
TWO ORDERS
The OPA'S actions were contained
in two separate orders, highlights
of Which were:
Reduction of one to two points
per pound in AZ pork, veal and
lamb items due to a six per cent
increase in the supply available fer
November.
2-No change in beef points be-.
cause of continued army demands.
3-An increase of two points for
margarine and country butter and
one point for shortening and oils
due to heavy increases in con-
sumption caused by high butter
point values. Butter production is
"aOnormally low despite suspan-
sion of army purchasing, with less
available to civilians in November
than in October.
4.-Varying increases in point
values of canned or bottled apples,
berries, mixed fruits, pears ana
pineapple because of supply short
ages.
INCLUDE JAMS
The sweet spreads being rationei
include not only jams and jellies
but preserves and fruit butter. The
only exception is marmalade. TIC,
can be bought Sunday with blue
stamps X, Y and q from ration
book two, which are good until
Nov. co. and beginning Monday
with green stamps A, B and c
from ration book four, good until
Dec. 20.
The butter situation also caused
the OPA to raise cream and cottage
cheese two points a pound to dis
courage the diversion OF milk that
could go into butter.
The meat front, much better, con-
sisted of a general six per cent
lowering OF points to go With the
! six pei cent increase il supplies.
Principal pork reductions were for
center cut and loin chops, from IL
to 10 points; whole loin roaStS from
