BY GLADWIN HILL

PARIS, Sept. a. R -Reviving
Paris, although still partly paralyz-
ed by war, hailed in irony the
anniversary of the German inva-
sion of Poland and received re-
ports of the latest Allied battle
gains with the feeling that the bat
tie of France is nearly ever.
The capital, although vibrant
with liberation activity, still has
only a shell of it's peacetime gran
deur. It is still under crisis con-
ditions in three big essentials:
food, heating and transportation.
There still is no hot water in
the city. The crux of the problem
is coal, which comes principally
from war-ridden northeastern
France and on which the city de-
ponds for electricity and gas.
Emergency supplies of food con-
tinued to pour in through the IA
cilities of the Allied armies, and
there are no reports of anyone
starving, but the shorta &c has
caused many problems.

Liberated Paris Feels Bitter
Battle For France Nearly Over

Most restaurants are still closed
except for a few black m a r k e t
places charging $40 to SIS for a
meal.
Some angry rumors are circu-
lated that. the bulk of the emer-
gency food supplies are b n
grabbed on arrival by members
of the French Forces of the Inte-
rior, the most powerful group at
the moment, to the detriment Of
a large portion of the population
which is not in the FIJI.
There are also reports, undoubI-
edly true to some extent, that in
the confusion of Strengthening out
the ration system after liberation,
some individuals managed to get
four or five cards.
To ease the shortage, AL i e d
military personnel are forbidden to
eat in public restaurants. Thew

BIG SUPPLIES OF
LEAN BEEF SEEN

Word from the American Meat
Institute to meat dealers and con-
sumers here is that the prospects
are for unprecedented supplies of
cattle producing lean beef this fall.
AS a result, the entire livestock
and meat industry is making plans
to assist the homemaker and other
user of meat in the proper prep
aration of beef of these grades,
according to the Institute.
The outlook FOR increased sup
plies was discussed at a two day
meeting in Chicago recently, called
by the American National L We
Stock association, representing cat
tlemen of the United States. Par
ticipating in the sessions were var
ious other livestock organizations,
| the American Meat Institute, the
National Live Stock and Meat
Board, National Association of Re-
tail Meat Dealers, the National As
sociation of Food Chains, the Ma
tional Association of Retail Gro
GERS, the Super Market Institute,
the Office of Price Administrator
and the War Food Administration
A consumer program viii be
necessary, according to F. E. Mol
lin, secretary of the American Ma
tional, in view of the movement
on foot to reduce the record num-
Der of CRASHED range cattle now
on ranches and farms.
Government estimates indicate
there were $4,000, 900 head of cat
tie in the country on January l,
1914. The War Food administra-
ton has said in view of the avail
able and prospective feed supplies
the number should be reduced to
the 1943 level of 1899, 999 head
by January, 1915.
To achieve the government OBJ
jective would mean that h
would be a record marketing of
CRASHED range cattle during the
ensuing months. The consensus of
the meeting was that there will be
relatively abundant supply of
! beef for the consumer in the form
of pot roasts, ground beef, stews,
short ribs and other similar cuts,
all of which are high in nutritive
value and palatability.
In answer to the question as to
how large a volume of the lower
grades of beef there will be avail
able this fall, Representatives of
cattle interests present stated that
it was practically impossible to
quoe definite figure because of
many variable factors involved.
But it seemed to be the general
opinion that these grades would be
in abundance during the next few
months with supplies well above
normal marketings.
The meeting developed the opin-
ion that there should be little diff
ficulty so far as consumer accept
ance of these grades of beef is
concerned if they can be made
available point-free and housewives
and others are informed of the
best methods of preparation.

Smaller Sugar Supplies
Are Expected Next Year

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. -(R-
The Agriculture department pre-
dlcted today that supplies of SUI
gar will be smaller next year. The
report held out little hope for elimi-
nation of rationing until the war
with Japan has been won.
Supplies available to this coun-
try and to the other united ma
tons will be lower, the report said,
because of prospects for a smaller
crop in Cuba, reduced stocks in
both producing and consuming
areas, and the necessity of divert
ing considerable amounts of raw
sugar into alcohol for synthetic
rubber,
Defeat of Japan would relieve
shortages in two ways. It would
make Philippine and Javan sup
plies available again, and it would
also give the United Nations excess
to far eastern supplies Of raw
rubber.
