OPA Increases
Point Values
On Three Meats

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. (UP)--
Anticipating a 100000, ,000-pound
reduction in retail meat supplies
next month, the Office of Price
Administration Thursday ordered
increases of one to two ration
points for most cuts OF beef, lamp
and veal in February.
The OPA also made February in
creaSeS, effective Sunday through
March 4, for cheeses, lard, and dried
beef. Butter was unchanged at 16
points. Most pork will be unchang-
ed, but pork loin cuts and Canad-
ian bacon were increased.
Price Administrator Chest ter
BoWleS said the point revisions will
mean that the average housewife
will be able to buy half pound
less meat with the 11.2 points she
normally spends each week on
meat than she got for her points
in January when the meat ration
was the highest since rationing
started. In February, he said, she
will get % pounds OF meat 10"
5he same number of points that
got her Ct pounds in January.
The tabl. of February values
showed:
l. Beef steak UP two points a
pound, most other cuts up ona
point.
2. Veal lamb and mutton up one
to two points with veal shoulder
chops, round steak and shoulder
boneleSs roasts up three.
3. Cheddar and cream cheese up
two points and Swiss, Munster and
other similar cheeses up four points.
The OPA said that the total re-
tail meat supply in February would
be around 1,4O0,0o0,C00 pounds as
compared with January's supply OF
SOC 100000 pounds. Of the Febru-
ary supply, pork will account for
750,000,000 pounds, beef 430,00O000
and veal, lamb, mutton and var
iety meats the remainder.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 up
Hopes for return of at least some
distilled liquor production in 1914
vanished Thursday following War
Production Chief Donald M. Mel
sons assertion that the entire
years output of alcohol was needed
for the war effort
Every available supply will be
tapped to provide an estimated
632,0000C0 gallons of alcohol for
military and essential civilian re-
quirements this year, Nelson said.
He indicated that even with bev-
erage alcohol and all other plants
harnessed for industrial produc-
ton, 1914 demands may not be met
unless additional steps, including a
move for resumption of alcohol
