Cereal Supplies Adequate.
Because of record grain crops, ce-
real supplies for next year should be
adequate to meet all needs, the sur
vey said.
The department pointed out that
egg consumption has been unusually
high this year even with the very
large meat consumption, and it is
probable that civilians will use as
many eggs next year.
The butter shortage should be off,
set, the department said, by in
creased supplies of margarine
Cheese and evaporated milk prob
ably will continue short of full CIV
ilian demand, however, it was said.
The department estimated Satur-
day that the Nation faces a 2.000,-

due principally to lower produc-

End Of European War
To Make Little Chanqe
In u. 5. Food Supply
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, j.


The Agriculture Department to.
day predicted that the end of the
European War will bring little
change in civilian food supplies
since mon civilian requirements
will continue to take a substantial
proportion of the total food supplies
throughout 1945"
For the year as whole, the total
civilian food supply is expected tc
continue about the same as in 1914
during which per capita civilian con-
sumption has been at least 7 pc,
cent above preWar levels, the de-
partment said This would be ac-
complished by prospective increased
supplies OF some fruits, turkeys and
beef, 1t was explained.
In a survey of the national food
situation the department gave this
picture of the l945 prospects for
civilians:
Much less pork but more beef
with per capita consun - well
below" this years estimatU6 rate of
l40-145 pounds.
Possible Turkey Increase.
Chicken supplies reduced slightly
because of drop in production, but a
probable increase in turkey sup
plies.
A further reduction in the supply
Of butter along with less lard be-
cause Of the reduction in hog
slaughter.
A continued shortage of canned
fruits, to be only partially offset by
shipments of bananas and other
fresh fruits from outside the coun-
try.
A cut in potatoes during the first
part of l945, compared with this
year.
The department said noncivilian
requirements from the 1914 pack OF
canned vegetables are of such mag
nitude that civilians may have re-
duced supplies before the 1945 pack

Macarthur Out to Get Jap Unit
Which Did DirtyWork at Botoun
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON.

BY WILLIAM b. DICKINSON,
Representing the Combined American Press
WITH GEN. MACARTHUR IN
THE PHILIPPINES, Oct. 81 tP.-
The Americans and Filipinos who
died so gallantly in the dark days
of 1912 are now fighting the jap
anese division which did the dirty
work" on Bataan.
Before going ashore from the
cruiser Nashville a few hours be-
hind the assault waves of American
forces, Gen. Douglas Macarthur
told me:
Il am particularly anxious to get
at the division which is on Leyte.
It's the 18th, the outfit that did the
dirty work at Bataan. They've been
living off the fat of the land for
more than two years and I believe
they'll be little softer now.
But soft or not, we'll get them
Talking informally aboard the
cruiser over chocolate soda, Gen
Macarthur said tough fighting may
lie ahead before the Philippines are
freed of the enemy, but he left no
doubt that the Leyte operation seals
the fate of the japanese on that is
land. He indicated no time will be
lost in following up advantages
gained in the present move and that
American losses will not be heavy.
Throughout the voyage, the sun
