Food Administration Moves
To Cut Hoarding Of Eggs
Nv the Assnciated pross

BY the Associated Press.
The War Food Administrator to-
day prohibited the cold storage of
eggs after May 20 except for Gov
ernment contracts and the accumu-
lation of working inventories In a
move designed to discourage hoard
ing of eggs by dealers, wholesalers
and other distributors.
The VIA said speculation has
caused shell eggs to move into
storage in unusual quantities, re-
ducing supplies available for egg
grading and drying and civilian
needs ~
Based on the production rate so
far, the VIA said, an average of
slightly more than two dozen eggs
month should be avsilable for each
civilian consumer for the period
June through December.

ported in Finnmark, in northern
Norway. The Laplanders, who own
practically all the deer, were ordered
to deliver one-fourth of their herds

Kautokeino, in Finland, where two
Nazi officers and Finn are in
charge.
Reindeer trained to haul pulkas,
long. narrow, boatlike sleds, were to
be turned over first, and for these
the owners were to receive SIS a

The requisitioning stirred indigna-

and peace loving Laplanders. It is
feared that the Nazi order will ruin
