VIII Be Reduced

Detroit housewives who still

delicacies. viii be counting their
ration coupons more carefully than
ever, from now on-for point
prices are going for another ride
BY an order Of the OPA, effec-
tive 12-0l a. m. Sunday. meat
dealers will charge an additional
point for 16 prime cuts of beef,
veal and pork and point less for
25 variety meats. canned fish and
other special products.
But the changes do not indicate
a greater meat shortage. Cash
prices will not necessarily be
ALTERED. The nationwide action,
says OPA. IS simply a reflection
OF varying market conditions.
LEAN MEAT WANTED
While circumstances vary. Off
cials said that the upward revision
i'm point values Of steaks and
roasts resulted from a heavy con-
.sumer demand for lean meats and
those which could be sliced into
smaller portions.
Five cuts OF steak-round. top
round. bottom round, round tip
and flank--wlll be advanced one
point each TO nine points per
pound Round top roast will ad-
vance to eight points per pound.
1t is now worth seven points.
In veal, leg roastS will rise from
six points 10 seven: round steak
outlets from eight points 10 nine,
and sirloln steak or chops from
seven points TO eight.
SAUSAGE UNREDUCED
While altering other meats. OPA
rejected industry demands for a
reduction in sausage point values
with the explanation that they
could not be lowered without
dlvertlng/eXceSS amounts of fresh
cuts tTsauSages.
The value of sausage is now
determined by the point value of
meats that 60 into IT, OPA said
lit could not. with justification,
manipulate point values so as 10
Influence consumers TO buy proc
leSsed meats rather than the fresh
cuts or meats from which sausage
lis made.
Pork point values will be in
creased a point each in center cut
chops and loin roast. Ham. shank
end, was lowered a point, and OPA
separated into two new items that
formerly designated as ham
slices.
COOKING OILS CUT
The value of ham. bone in
sliced and ham. homeless S,

Only one change was made in
the fats and oils bracket. Salad
and cooking oils were reduced
from six points TO five. Cheese
and butter were not changed.
Removed from the rationing list
were bouillon cubes. beef extract
and all other meat extracts and
concentrates formerly listed at
seven points a pound.
