firm only for one quarter of the
fiscal year. At the end of Septem-
Der, the fall quarter ALLEGATIONS will
be reviewed with possible adjust
ments made At the same time,
requirements for the winter quarter
will be re-estimated on the basis
of the latest production and stock
reports.
Civilians will get the major share
of prospective condensed milk
supplies-approximately two-thirds
of the available 300 1000 900 pounds.
This will mean a reduction of about
SIS 900 900 pounds for civilians over
last years consumption. Our Allies
and other export groups will get
the remaining one-third. None has
been allocated, for American mill
tary use, VIA said.
