 According Co the meat ratlonlng regulations, butchers aren't allowed to sell top round, bottom round, slrloln, e any other standard cut Of beef as hamburger unless thop grind it In tho presence of the customer, the state oPA pointed out today.
 The reason: these meats have . higher point value than pre-ground hamburger which will consist Of beef necks, Hanks, shRnks, briskets, plates, miscellaneous trimming and fat.
 Another reason: these meats also have Q higher price ceiling than tho ingredients which generally 60 Into pre-Rround, hamburger.

MANY FUTURE SUB
 LOSSES EXPECTED
Next Several Months to Be Costly; Data on Lost
 Ships Withheld
(NEA Telephoto)
By RAYMOND CHAPTER

Washington, March 25-doovern- ment people here expect heavy losses from submarines during the next several months. What they really mean Is that we arc not going to gain on the submarine very much until next winter.
 We arc breaking every shipbuild- Ing record. But all we get out of 1t Is to stay where we are. We gain a little. But not very much. If we come out at the end of the sum- mer with as much shipping afloRt as we have now, then we will have done about aS well as some of our people expect to do.
 I saw Q tanker launched this week at the Sun Shipbuilding yards in Chester, Pa. That was the first ship I had ever seen launched. When you sec . ship slide down the skids into the water you get a deep thrill out of 1t. Joseph N. Pey, chairman of the Sun Shipbuilding company, says he had seen hundreds Of ships launched but that after all of these years 1t is still Q thrill,
 l was standing down under the hull, near where tho workmen were saving through the blanks to re- lease this l8,000-ton tanker for the slide down into the water. Work men who had helped put her to- gethcr were standing oil around, obviously excised and proud. This was just another tanker but one or two of the wcldeT standing near me talked about how neat she was, They all obviously had wanted the honor of helping to saw the ship loose.
 This tanker had been some 90 days in building. It Is bigger, better compartmehted, with heavier bulk heads, and with more protective guns than any previous tanker.
 Two other tankers went into the water at tho same time. These three tankers will be ready to go to sea within Q very short time, Each will carry l60,O00 barrels of fuel. And there is a good chance that ono of the three won't come back from the first trip out.
 If we published the figures of submarine losses aS we ought to do --becauso the enemy knows just about what they are--the country would be startled and shocked. That might dispel some of the slap happy Ideas that we have just about won the war because we get some good headlines in the paper.
 The Germans know they are los- ing the air war. They are putting everything they have into the sub marine now. Their subs are build- ing far faster than we arc sinking them, are far stronger than they were twenty years ago, are able to stay out far longer, have better

 The proposed bill Increased the maximum weekly benefit from s2t Co ea2, with the ceiling on benefits tn any one year raised from S300 to es00.
 The measure sets up sliding acnle of payments below the max mum if the stRtes unemployment compensation fund falls below certain figure,
 The maximuIA weekly benefit is payable if the states fund is st0,' oo0, ,Ouo or more. IT it falls below thRl sum but not less than s25,000, 900 the rate will be si7 week, and the reserve drops below S2b ,000, 900 the maximum weekly rate will b. sl5,
 The new measure also provides merit rating for employers whC have had Q stable employment,
 Meantime, Rep. Frank l., Barlow R., StonlnRton, chairman ot the House Appropriations Committee criticized expenditures by the gov ernor and comptroller outside the legislative budgets when tho assem- bly, was not in session.
 Barlow said the work Of tho ap- prupriatlona committee was useless 4 the two state officials were to spend money as they saw fit with out legislative approval,
 'vt this conditions is allowed Co persist much longer" Barlow com plained, "our time is clearly wasted here"

 We are still experimenting. We haven't yet decided the place that the airplane should have in fighting the submarine although we may be forced to decide 1t soon because we simply arc not going to have enough escort vesselS to do the job this summer, and we must lean on the airplane. If we had been on our toes we surely would have gone after those German submarine pens along the French coast before they were put under that heavy concrete pro- tectlon,
 General Ira Baker, American air chief in Europe, says he is soon to have numbers of super -Fortresses and that American planes will do as much bombing as the RAF, That's going to take gasoline, 2O00 gallons every time you send up present model Fortress. It must all be sent from here. All motorized equipment must run on fuel from here.
 And everything else ~depends on American ships running on the lines to the United Kingdom, to North Africa and to Russia.
 Last year about sixty tankers were built in the United States. This year we may build almost double that
 But what's the use of bragging about breaking records in Ship- building? Tho Germans brag that this record breaking production is mostly sent to the bottom of the ocean. They are breaking a record, too.
 Those arc some of the things that you think about as you see another ship go into the water. No wonder you unconsciously say 6 prayer for her.
