'OPA Increases Rationed
Foods To Packing Firms

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - (P) -
Next years allotments of ration
ed food to packers who are new
industrial users" will be based
on use this year, rather than 1912.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton, announcing this today, said
the base period was being chang
ed because these packers were en-
couraged to produce up to capa-
city this year and as a result
invested in additional equipment.
Under these conditions 1912 base
would not be fair, OPA said.
Industrial users are those who
use rationed food, such as fruit,
to produce a point-free product,
such as baby food. The number OF
these packers was increased con-
siderably when many processed
foods were removed from ration
ing last September.
