Food Institute Sees
Relaxed .Rationinq
|At Least 6 Months

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 6.-There prob.
ably will be no rationing of mos'
meats and canned foods for at least
six months and If it is restored the
form will be different, the American
Institute of Food Distribution pre-
dicted today.
"If the time comes when ration
ing is needed again." the nom
profit research agency declared
There may be three programs in
stead of two, with fats and oils
separated from meats and the whole
program greatly simplified in the
light of present experience"
The institute said the problem of
supply was not as pressing as it
was a year ago and that there had

since he had an important part in
developing policies in the admin
stration of food and drug laws for
the past 20 years"
Immediately after receiving his
Phi. D. from Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, DR.. Dunbar was appointed
one of the original group selected
for the enforcement of the Food
and Drug Act of 1906. A food
chemist, his work started in the
laboratory. In 1914, he became
staff assistant to Mr.. Campbell,
who then was chief of the Eastern
district of the Bureau of Chemistry,
then a part of the Agriculture
Department.
DR.. Dunbar was appointed as
sistant chief of the Bureau of
Chemistry in 1925, and Of the Food
and Drug Administration in 1927,
when it was organized under that
name. He continued in that ca
pacity when the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration was transferred to
the Federal Security Agency in
1910. In 1912 he was made associ-
ate commissioner of food and drugs.

Likely butter. dairy products and
fats cannot be taken of the ration,
the organization said, But meats
and canned goods will not be put
back on the old basis unless there is
an unexpected return to the type
of wartime frenzied demand that
gripped the public early in 1943."
The institute said Col. Bryan
Houston. chief of rationing in the
ONCE of Price Administration, has
a theory that there is no need for
rationing product when supply is
within IS per cent of probable de-
mand and this week was able to
sell his theory to Marvin Jones, War

Mr.. Jones was not too hard to
convince" the institute continued
because he saw the need of clear

Appeals Court UphoIds
Award in DAMAGE Suit

The Court of Appeals yesterday
ruled that a District Court jury YER
dict awarding damages against the
Capital Transit Co. should stand
and reversed ruling of District
Court Justice Jennings Bailey, who
had set the jury verdict aside.
The jury in the lower court
awarded $4,000 for injuries suffered
by Mrs. Ruth H. Shoemaker, Alto
New Hampshire avenue NV, in
March, 1871, when an automobile in
which she was riding with her hus-
band crashed into another automo-
bile which had stopped suddenly
when streetcar in front of it came
to a sudden stop. The jury also
awarded $500 to her husband, Rus
sell H. Shoemaker, who had sued
for loss of his wife's services and for
damage to his auto.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shoemaker had
charged the streetcar company with
negligence due to the streetcar max
ing the sudden stop in front of the
automobile into which the Shew-
maker automobile rammed.
Justice Bailey, in setting aside the
jury verdict in February, 1943, held
that the prime negligence" in the
case was by a woman who had run
out in front of the first automobile.
One of the questions involved was
whether the streetcar had stopped
to allow the woman to board it at
other than designated stop.
The appellate court opinion,
written by Justice Justin Miller, de-
clared: "A careful examination of
the records persuades us that the
evidence presented questions ap-
propriate for the jury's determine
ton and that its verdict should
stand"

Senate Battle Nears
On Proposal 10 Lift
Cotton Textile Prices
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A bill extending price controls
through 1945 moved today toward
a fight on the Senate floor over a
cotton amendment which the OpA
estimated might cost consumers up
to $3.50, 900 900 annually.
An administration attempt to
knock out the amendment failed late
yesterday as the Senate Banking
Committee completed its months of
work on the measure.
The committee also approved an
amendment by Senator Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio to permit continuance
of the present $500 .000, 000-a-year
food subsidy program only until
June 80. l945, and to limit subsidy
payments after that date to sums
directly appropriated by Congress.
These payments, made to keep down
retail food costs, now come from
funds Of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. and the Commodity Credit
Corp.
Bankhead Leads Drive.
Backed by Southern Senators
headed by Senator Bankhead. Dem
ocrat, of Alabama, the cotton clause
would require OPA to adjust textile
ceilings at 60-day intervals to take
into account fluctuations In the
market price Of raw cotton.
Senator Bankhead has explained
its effect would be to lift raw cot
ton prices to parity levels for farm
ers, but Henry M. Hart, associate
counsel for the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, declared there was no
assurance farmers would be paid
higher prices.
Manufacturers Seen Aided.
Mr.. Hart reported that very con-
sentative" estimates were that the
proposed ceiling adjustments would
mean 500 100000 to $4,000 900 a
year more income for textile manu-
facturers, and that by the time the
goods reached consumers the price
level would be up somewhere be.
tween $225, 000, 900 to $3.50, 900 900.
Chairman Wagner of the COM
mittee plans to file a report attack
ing the amendments.
Other committee amendments
would provide for Federal Court
review OF OPA orders sllspending
business firms for price or rationing
violations; give OPA authority to
sue retailers as well as wholesalers
for damages IN over-ceiling charges,
and give Federal courts authority
TO fix damages at less than treble
the amount of ceiling overcharges.

CARNATIONS will be given priority
in the purchase of vast stores of
surplus Government material at the
end of the war, Clifton E. Mack

Mr.. Mack, Director of Procure
ment of the Treasury Department,

out, but predicted the RFC, the

of their SURPRISES directly, while So

A message to the association from
President Roosevelt read to the con-
ference said
"The maintenance of adequate
balance between our war economy
and civilian requirements has been
a problem which we have all had
to face during the war. Our war
needs have to come first, but home
front essentials could not be
neglected"
Donald M. Nelson, WPB director,
told the association that most of
the problems of materials have been
solved, but that manpower remains
very real one. He added, This
problem can be quickly licked if
every one does his part"
I don't like the dissension at all
which is now coming up between
industry and labor. Much more
work could be done with less man
power If every one worked together

WA Will Free Eggs
For Animal Feed 10
Ease GIutted Market
By the Associated Press.

War Food Administration officials
have announced surplus eggs will be
converted into animal feed as a
means of relieving the glutted mar
ket, while OPA executives warned
more commodities may have to be
rationed and the period of ration
ing is not anywhere near over.
Marvin Jones, WPA chief, an
nounced yesterday egg purchases to
support price levels have reached
such volume that cold storage space
is inadequate and some eggs will be
converted into animal feed which is
in short supply and needed by
feeders.
A market glut of eggs in recent
months has choked cold storage
space and forced WPA to impro-
wise extra space and handling meth
DDS. The record egg production
came in answer to a VITA appeal,
but the supply outdistanced expec-
tations because of favorable weather
and other factors.
The milk supply is So good, VIA
revealed, that ice cream manu-
facturers will be permitted to pro-
duce about 10000 900 more gallons
of ice cream than were available
last summer.
AS VIA announced these favor
able developments, OPA Admins
traitor Chester Bowles asserted the
trend is toward more rigid ration
ing" rather than relaxation.
Mr.. Bowles said the talk of re-
Taxation is ridiculous" and added,
the war has not been fought yet.
ANY hope of relaxing would de-
pend on the war being short and
easy" he said. IF the war is tough,
we'll have more and acuter short
ages than we have even seen before.
/. Privately, I say the trend is to-
ward more rigid rationing."

lstrator for rationing. said, "it IRA

near over. We could find ourselves
six, eight or nine months from now
