Mexican Meat
Situation Cleared

WASHINGTON, June II CUP)-
The Office of Price Administration
today ruled that rationed meats
may be brought across the Mexican
border even though the meats are
not in a form which appears on the
official OPA tables of point values.
All the purchaser has to do is
give the collector of customs seven
points per pound for the meat. The
action was to rectify a situation in
which most of the Mexican meats
are unfamiliar cuts and do not ap-
pear on the official OPA tables.
The point value seven was set on
the basis of estimated average
values.

Ration Tokens Nav
Replace Stamps

WASHINGTON, June II. up
Ration tokens instead of ration
stamps appeared as a Possibility to-
day following the first public air
ing by the Office of Price Admins
tration of an idea that "has been
under discussion for some time"
The tokens would be of nom critical,
but tough, material. ......... ..... .....--
Under the token plan, paper ra-
ton stamps would be issued in
large denominations, one stamp be-
ing worth an entire months allow
ance of ratiOned food. When a
consumer makes the initial pur-
chase of ration period takens
would be given as change for the
stamp. For the remainder of the
period tokens would be the cur
rency" used in making ratiOned
purchases.

Worm damage on buds and pods
likewise caused damage to crops but
not to serious degree, the report
stated
Despite these conditions some eX-
ceptionally good yields came out of
some valley farms. Records of the
flaxseed association showed some
yields as high as 40 bushels per acre
while number of flax fields top
ped 80 bushels from each acre.
Such high yields we're not as pre-
valent this year as in the past,
however, the report showed.

with their organization would OBJ
tain 18 and one half bushels per
acre, which is approximately 10 per
cent under the 1912 yield. The entire
Imperial Valley output Is expected
to be slightly lower than that fig
ure, according to the report.
Chief factor in the reduced yield
was a late January frost and a
heavy growth of wild oats that
greatly smothered recovery of the
flax plants.
Warm weather in late February
and late March interrupted the
bloom" and was seen as damaging
to late paintings.

Turk-Vichy Break
Is Unconfir,ned

LONDON, June II. CUPp - A
Turkish embassy spokesman said
today that he had received no con-
firmation of report by Radio AL
giers that Turkey had broken rela-
tions with the Vichy government of
France and added that it seemed
unlikely.
The radio had reported that the
Turkish ambassador to Vichy had
been recalled. The spokesman said
this might have stemmed from Tur-
keys reported intention of recall
ing the ambassador because of his
advanced age.

Pay Dirt
1t was a great affair when Ole
Kaiser, the Dane, took the Elks'
Buy-a- Bomber committee abroad to
pay them the dinner he owed them
for putting over the big war bond
drive. He entertained in the grand
manner but his glory as story
teller was dimmed by the exploits
of Carl C. Jensen a SWede, who
happened to be having dinner in
the same place as the Elks we're
dining. Such yarns, my, N.Y. my.
OF course, this dinner pay-off was
nade because Kaiser as general
manager would not be outdone by
ohe betting exploits of Ben Her
ring and Norman Deaton They
kept betting that the drive would
go over. Just to be different Kai-
ser would bet it wouldn't In a
way Herring and Deaton were hon.
Ored guests as they started the bet
ting.
When the thing was over Kaiser
and all the rest of them drove away
and left Herring abroad He had
to hitch hike a ride with Truman
Thompson.
That's gratitude for you.

Proposal Criticized
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 3l-Kilsoo K
Ham, Washington representative of
the Sino-Korean Peoples League,
last night criticized Joseph c. Grew.
former Ambassador to Toxic, for
saying in Chicago Wednesday night
that japanese Emperor worship
could become an asset in keeping
peace after the present war.
Mr.. Grew told the Illinois Educa-
ton Association it might be we'll to
have postwar Japan run by "a
peace seeking ruler not controlled
by the military"
1t is too funny for words" said
Mr.. Ham in statement issued
here, TO learn Mr.. Grew has i'm
piled to the American public that
the Japanese Emperor wanted peace
and opposed war with America.
Either Mr.. Grew is belittling the
American intelligence or he does not
know he is playing into the hands
of the Japanese-American citizens
clever campaign to save the Japa-
nese Emperor's head.
Il am of the firm belief not only
that Hirohito could have stopped
the japanese war lords from max
ing their diabolical war prepara-
tons against America, but that he
was the strategic planner of the
sneak attack on Pearl Harbor."

To Government by Plant
BY the Associated Press.


NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 81
Edgar w. Taft, treasurer of the
Western Cartridge Co.. explained
yesterday that 'unanticipated prof
its over and above original esti-
mates made possible the voluntary
return OF s2O,0O0,0O0 to the Gov
eminent by his firm.
I'VE consider that $2,85O,OOO OF
the total S20,000,000 represents the
refunds of sum sufficient to re-
duce Western prices during the year
l943 to levels as low as those paio
by the Government for the same ar
ticles from other private enter
prises," Mr.. Taft said.
The remainder may be regarded
as the outright return of unexpect-
ed profit made possible by a combi-
nation of favorable operating con-
ditions, such as maximum produc-
ton from all facilities, continued
operations on many of the same
items and reduction of costs due tc
large-volume production and i'm
proved methods of manufacturing
