$1,000 Tons Of Bombs
Hit Europe in Month
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-Allied planes
operating from bases in Britain and
the Mediterranean have. dropped
81 900 tons of bombs on Hitler's
European fortress since January /,
according to Raj estimates, thereby
probably setting record for single
month.
OF the total, $4,000 tons were Drop
ped by the Allied air forces based in
Britain, and the remainder by Medi-
terranean flyers-mostly on Italy
and the Balkans.
The tonange unloaded by Britain
based planes was believed in itself
a possible record for this theater.
1t was emphasized, however, that
the overall estimates necessarily are
rough because of incomplete off,

Drastic Shoke-Up in Personnel
Will Double Forces Abroad
Jobs at Home to Be Filled by New Men, WACs

A drastic shake-up in Army
personnel in the United States
to provide a fighting force of
100000 men on foreign battle
fronts by the end Of this year
was announced today by Secre-
tary of War Stimson.
Under this policy, so-called "over-
head" personnel at home will be
fine-cembed for physically fit, we'll
trained troops. They will be dis
patched overseas and their jobs
filled by civilians, new recruits,
members of the Woman's Army
Corps and soldiers below the physi-
cal standards required for foreign
service.
The overseas expansion program
will double our forces abroad. As of
the end of 1943, only about third of
the Army had been sent outside the

Point Raises Cut
Civilian Cheese
And Meat DIET
Most Beef, Lamb and
Veal Portions Go Up
Sharply Sunday
(Chdrt ON Page A-I4.)
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The Office of Price Admins
tration today pared the civilian
meat diet for February half
pound a week, raising the ra-
ton cost of most beef, lamb and
veal, and some choice pork cuts,
l to 2 points a pound. Changes
are effective Sunday.
Point values of all types of cheese
were raised substantially for the
second consecutive month. Cheddar
and cream cheeses were up two
points, while the value of Swiss,
munster and similar types was raised
four points.
Butter was held at 16 points a
pound, while lard was increased
from two to three points per pound.
The only reductions on the new
meats fats cheese table were in
canned meats and fish.
Upward Trend Seen.
Officials predicted the trend Of
meat point values will be upward
for the next several months, since
the period of peak production is
over. Civilian meat supplies for
February were estimated at 1,400,-
100000 pounds, some 100000
pounds under January. The aver
age civilian ration next month will
include % pounds of meat a week,
half-pound a week below the cur
rent ration.
Beef steak cuts were raised two
points pound, the value for
steaks ranging from to IL points
on the new table. Other cuts of
beef, including roasts and stews,
were increased one point in most
instances.
| Veal, lamb and mutton cuts like
wise were increased a point or two
per pound. Choice pork chops and
roasts and Canadian bacon were
raised one point. Values of the re-
manning pork cuts, including regu-
lar bacon, sausages and ham were
not changed.
! Canned Fish Point Cut.
All canned fish, except cooked
oysters, were cut four points and
are listed on the new table at IL
points. Canned oysters remain un-
changed at four points. Most types
Of canned meats were reduced either
one or two points.
The new increases of cheddar and
creamed cheeses raise the ration
cost of the two types to IL and 10
points respectively. Swiss, munster
and limburger and similar types will
cost II points pound compared
!. with the current eight.
i OPA said the big jump in cheese
point values reflects a consumer
demand larger than the supply. Con-
sumption of cream and other soft
cheeses has been running so per
cent over the civilian alloca ton.
largely because housewives have
used it as a substitute for scarce
butter.
Lard Values Also Rise.
Lard value went up a point, also
because consumption was running
ahead of ALLEGATION from the War
Food Administration by about II
per cent.
/ A small increase in butter produce
ton is anticipated for February
above the estimated January output
Of 135.000,00 pounds. The increase.
though insufficient to permit point
cut, will enable more of the civil
ian demand to be met.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles said there would be enough
ration points in circulation to as
sure orderly movement of meats
from slaughterers despite the sharp
rise in point values.

Argentina Freezes
Merchant Shipping
After Axis Break
Action Apparently Taken
To Avoid Possible
Attacks by Subs
BY the Associated Press.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 27.-
Argentina froze movements of
the state merchant marine to-
day as one of the first follow
up actions to it's diplomatic
break with the Axis. All vessels
were directed to remain in port
until new orders"
1t was expected here. however,
that the tieup would not last long,
since Argentine economy largely de-
pendS on the fleets free movements.
Although no reason was given
for the freezing order, 1t seemed
apparent that the government OF
President Gen. Pedro Ramirez
deemed 1t unwise to expose the
vessels to the menace of any
lurking enemy submarine in the
South Atlantic until some pro-
vision could be made for their
protection, possibly in convoys.
(NaI submarines sank three
Argentine ships in 1912, but no
mention was made of these tor
pedoings in yesterdays official
announcement concerning the
diplomatic break.)
AS congratulations poured in from
all over the continent, the Argen-
tine government turned to another
problem attending its diplomatic
break-the question of communica-
tions with Germany.
Suspension of these facilities were
viewed as of great Importance in
view OF the revelations that Buenos
Aires was headquarters for a giant
espionage ring. 1t is believed that
telephone communications with
Germany already have been cut.
