The effective date Of changes
In the meat-rationing program,
which precipitated q bitter dis
pute between War Food Admin
istration and the once of Price
Administration, may be post
poned until later than August /,
1t was indicated today.
Food ofIicials filed a directive with
the Federal Register ordering OPA
to remove all beef from rationing
except choice and good steaks and
roasts and to place points once more
on hams and pork loins. In con-
nection with the pork changes,
WA used in the directive the word
authorizes" and it was not clear
whether that portion had the same
mandatory force as the portion
making more beef point free.
The VIA order was to take effect
August l. Rationing officials, how
ever, still were attempting to obtain
postponement and there was some
indication they would be successful
On the other hand, one official said
discussion Of the. ration changes
probably had started a run on hams
and might force the changes at ar
early date.
The filing of the order with the
Federal Register apparently was 8
surprise to OPA and marked the
first use Of WAS executive author
ity In the effort to force ration
changes on the other agency.
One official said the two agencies
had discussed the meat situation
for some time and had been unable
to agree on the precise change.

said, finally took the bull by the

The official added that it woule

market. Hams have been point free
since early May.
