Meat Ration in j. ).
5O9o Above Europe's
Enelond's Allotment Next;
Soviet Tops Germany

BY the Associated Press.
If it is any consolation, today's
announcement of meat ration allow
ances is about twice as generous as
that in any foreign country.
On the average, the point values
on American meat will allow people
to buy about 80 ounces a week
actually depending on the cuts
chosen and the number of points
diverted to cheese, butter or other
allied items.
Of the countries where meat is
rationed, the next best allotment
is in England, where weekly rations
include four ounces of bacon, IA
ounces of other meat, two ounces
of cooking fats, two ounces of butter
and four ounces of other fats. In
England, meat is rationed at so
many cents worth a week rather
than on a point basis.
Russia, at last reports, was pro-
viding Is ounces of meat week,
and Germany IL.
In the rest of Europe meat ra-
tlons run from three ounces a week
in France to one ounce in Norway
and practically none in Greece.

Giving a dinner for guests is
going TO be difficult problem under
meat rationing.
OPA experts said today that tech
nically, the only way meat can be
bought for guests is to have them
buy it themselves and bring it to
the party. That wouldn't be so
bad if the menu called for chops,
but if the group wants to cook a
big roast, apparently everybody will
have TO go to the butcher shop to-
gether, each buying piece OF
roast and ask the butcher to leave
it all in one piece.
The trouble is that, technically,
no one is allowed to buy meat with
the ration books Of any one outside
of his immediate family
There are lot more wrinkles In
the program. If you go to deli
catessen and buy sandwich meat,
you have to give him ration cou-
pons, but if you have him make up
the meat into sandwiches-and it
is part of his regular business to
make sandwiches-you don't have
to give up coupons on the theory

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
has issued an order requiring all
shell eggs held in cold storage on
May 81 to be set aside for Govern
ment use at prices not In excess
Of OPA price ceilings then in effect.
The order provided also that no
eggs may be stored after May 81
except for Government use.
Mr.. Wickard announced, how
ever. that the Governments Food
Distribution Administration may
allocate supplies of cold-storage eggs
for civilian use after May 81 should
such action be necessary to assure
"a fair distribution among military,
civilian and lease-lend require
ments."
Egg Storage Increases.
Yesterdays action was made neces-
sary, Mr.. Wickard said, because of
a heavy movement of eggs into cold
storage, resulting in short supplies
for civilian use in some cities. The
fact that ceiling prices for eggs next
fall and winter will be higher than
present prices was said to be respon-
sible for the increase ip cold storage
stocks.
Mr.. Wickard also issued an order
reserving the entire l943 production
Of spray-process dried eggs for de-
livery to Government agencies.
The secretary also approved yes
terday the ALLEGATION of roughly one
third OF United States rice supplies

countries.

Although last years crop was the
largest on record, and with the

amounts to approximately 1904 ,000,-
600 pounds, the board recommended
an increase in rice production and a
limitation of consumption as far as
consistent with essential require
ments.
The Agriculture Department said
meanwhile yesterday that 1943 is ex-
pected to see 20 per cent increase
in the supply OF quick-frozen vege-
tables available for civilians.
Announcing an expansion pro-
gram to double the production of
such vegetables over the 1912 output,
the department pointed out that the
increase is primarily for the armed

SCRANTON, Pa, March 4.-The
anthracite wage policy convention
began formulating demands for q
pay increase today after hearing
John L. Lewis, president Of the
United Mine Workers, declare that
the Government cannot maintain
this paradoxical policy" of "fat-
tening industry and starving labor. !"
Asserting that william L. Davis,
chairman Of the War Labor Board,
and James Byrnes, Director Of
Economic Sterilization, have pre-
judged the miners impending wage
demands, Mr.. Lewis told the con-
vention yesterday:
THE Government, If it chooses,
can change its anti-inflation policy
or otherwise. make no case for
or against the right of the cost
plus millionnaires to continue to
loot the public purse.
Policy Called Paradox.
IF that is what Congress and
the Government want, then I am
helpless in the situation, but I do
say to my Government and yours
that 1t cannot maintain this para
doxical policy. It cannot fatten in
dustry and starve labor.
II doubt that the mine workers
would want me to plead their case
before any court that has already
rendered a decision" he said, "and
that is the case with Mr.. Davis of
the War Labor Board. He has
passed judgment without a hear
ing. And that is the case with Mr..
James Byrnes ="
Discussing the wage subject, he
said:

dressed the anthracite tri-district

Ct" I think the mine workers
have compelling case in equity
I think they will be able to prove
that case to a degree where
we are going to have that wage in

Thirty-five convention resolutions
had been introduced asking a 81
a-day raise over wages which the
Labor Department said averaged
1854 per 36-hour week last Decem-
Der. Action on the proposals will be
taken before the convention ad-
journs tomorrow or Saturday.
Some $4,000 of the 10000 anthra-

such an increase last January in a
