SHORTAGE OF EGGS
SWEEPS OVER U. S.
(By The Associated Press

Slowly but Enthusiastically eggs
are becoming as scarce as the
ham that used to go with them.
A cross-country survey by the
Associated Press showed yester.
day that the pinch is growing
tighter in all sections, accentuated
by the meat shortage which has
stepped up the table demand for
eggs as substitute.
As Clinton P. Anderson moved
into the cabinet to take over a
recognized Agriculture depart
ment the House Food committee
he headed for three months got
out another of it's reports, this
time warning of a steadily mount
ing egg shortage, powered in part
by a growing poultry black mar
ket which is decimating laying
flocks.
Outgoing Agriculture Secretary
Claude Wickard took a parting
look at his own statistics and
agreed the egg situation will be
bad the rest OF the year.
Meat appeared to be in little
better supply, but the shortage
continued acute in some areas.
The OPA said civilian supplies will
- up five per cent this month
about a bite a meal for the aver
age diner. Rain delayed the corn
crop 10 days to three weeks, how
ever, indirectly menacing the gov
eminent drive to get more pork
and beef. If the corn feed supply
is short and tardy it will have a
direct bearing on the number Of
pounds of finished meat.
Some spot meat reports: Idaho
enough of everything except
pork to take up housewife ration
points; Pittsburgh: m e At still
short but the outlook is better;
New York: Mayor La Guardia
blamed a gigantic upstate black
market for the city's plight.
Shoppers in some areas looked
with bewilderment at counters
piled with ration-costly butter at
the same time point values went
up two points on margarine. But
there was an explanation: butter
production is b GU 100000. 900
pounds below needs. High ration
values are used by the govern
ment to try to equalize distribu-
ton of existing supplies.
But in Baltimore some dealers
were talking of butter holiday
to help them get rid Of accumulat-
ing stocks they fear will turn
rancid. Some other cities reported
plenty of butter. In still others
on the West Coast for example
the traditional spread was hard as
ever to get.
A congress restless to fix re.
sponsibility for the country's bare
cupboards got new ammunition
during the week through a com
mittee report blistering some op
erations of the War Food Admin
istration-now moving under di
rect control of the agriculture sec
rotary.
A House Appropriations subcom
mittee, reporting on prolonged
