eButterD Due
In August, With
Reduced Value
II Per Cent Increase
In Supply, 4-Point
Reduction Seen

More butter will be made avail
able for civilians at lower point
cost next month, the Office Of
Price Administration and Agri-
culture Department disclosed
last night.
Revised war requirements will
permit an increase of about II per
cent in the civilian supply, it was
said.
What the new ration cost per
pound will be has not been de-
termined. Indications, however.
point to reduction of four points
from the present "a points, and
this led to speculation in food cir
cles that a reduction also may bs
made in the point cost for mar
garine.
The reduced point value for but
ter, which will be announced later,
will be effective July &c. 1t will be
the first time the value has been
reduced since butter went on the
rationing program.
Market Glutted.
Civilian butter supply for August
will total 100000 pounds 10,000,-
000-pound increase over the allot-
ment for each of the last few
months
During August, butter producers
will be required to set aside only
30 per cent of their output for war
uses in contrast to so per cent this
month.
Decision to slash the point value
came after reports that butter was
glutting the civilian market.
IN the District. supplies were said
to be exceedingly heavy as a result
of the high point cost and the effect
of the meat shortage on red points.
Points Go for Meat.
To-day, with meat in such short
supply, consumers can't budget red
points by purchasing meats with
low point COST retail food chain
official pointed out. They take
whatever meats they can get,
whether the point cost is high or
not. and that doesn't leave many
points for butter"
Elsewhere throughout the coun-
try the same condition exists, an
Associated Press survey showed. In
Pennsylvania, food officials said l.
817,172 pounds were in storage at
present, an increase of S54,249
pounds over last month.
In support of the view that a re-
duction in the margarine point
value may also be forthcoming,
one food spokesman said that unless
there is a wide enough differential
between the point costs of the two
items, consumers will allow mar
garine to pile up in stores.
Egg Supply Tighter.
Margarine, recently raised from
II to IA points, would cost only six
points less than butter If the in
dicated 20-point value is fixed, and
this differential would be inSufi-
cient to keep it moving out of the
stores, the spokesman said.
Meanwhile, the egg supply tight
ened further throughout the coun-
try, according to an Agriculture
Department statement. During June
and early July demand exceeded
the available current supply by an
increasing margin.

'Aussie Troops
Advance Miles
Past Ba|ikpapan
Move Steadily Inland
From Penodjom Point;
jap Plane Raids Area
By the Associated Press.

MANILA, July 8 Sunday -
Australian 7th Division troops
have pushed 6 miles northeast
ward beyond the now-secured
Borneo oil port of Balikpapan
and are thrusting steadily inland
from Penadjam Point, across
Balikpapan Bay, a Southwest
Pacific communique reported
today.
Other elements of the same Aus
tralian division were driving
northward toward the Sambodja
and Samarinda oil fields, % and 55
miles, respectively, northeast of
Balikpapan. Mined roads and ar
tillery fire were used by the with
drawing enemy to defend these last
two important Japanese-held oil
areas.
One japanese plane raided the
Balikpapan area without result, and
Allied planes, supporting the ground
offensive, ranged at will over Bor-
neo," Gen. MacArthur's communi-
que said. Two Japanese freighters
we're destroyed at the southern port
of Bandjermasin.
Japs in Difficult Spot.
In their flight northward, the
Japanese had the choice of a death
stand, surrender in the marshy oil
lands, or escape into the unexplored
jungle domain of the head-hunting
Dyaks to the westward.
The Dyaks probably will finish
them off," said Capt. J. w. zylstra
of Amsterdam, commander of a
Netherlands unit of Indonesians and
West Indians scouting for the Aus
sizes. Poisonous snakes and insects
are other hazards of the jungle.
Balikpapan was secured Thursday
with a swift cross-bay thrust in
which the Australians captured
Penadjam Point, putting Japanese
coastal batteries out of action.
But the Aussies met stiff opposi-
tion in hand-to-hand fighting with
an enemy naval ground force de-
Tending the PandanSari refinery
north of Balikpapan.
First Phase of Campaign Ends.
Capture of Penadjam Point,
achieved with the aid of American
manned amphibious craft, put a
swift end to the first f1ve-day phase
Of the campaign, which is ahead of
schedule, Associated Press Cerre-
spondent Russell Brines reported
from the battle zone.
The speedy five-day initial opera
ton gave the Aussies command of
10 miles Of the coast, from Pendjam
to Manggar airfield to the north
east, and two airflelds-the 1000
foot strip at Manggar and Seping-
gan drome.
Mr.. Brines said the Japanese
around Balikpapan had some of
the strongest defenses Allied forces
had encountered In the Southwest
Pacific, but the enemy chose to
withdraw its main force from the
invasion poundings of Allied war
ships and planes.
1880 Tons of Shells Fired.
Rear Admiral Albert G. Noble
said the Allied warships had fired
more than 1,250 tons of shells, while
bombers had hit the Japanese shore
positions with 5000 tons of ex-
plosiveS.
Australian casualties, which would
have been heavy had the Japs stayed
to fight on the shore, were remark
ably low. Headquarters reported
yesterday that 214 Aussies had been
killed, with % more missing and
420 wounded.
Japanese dead, counted through
all Borneo operations including the
Australian invaSions on the north
coast, were 3,03l, headquarters said.
Prisoners totaled 274.

Minister Winston Churchill as his
chief guests. Four other represen-
tatives of each government were
present.
The Big Three had settled down
to daily meetings in the afternoon
and their foreign ministers were
meeting in the morning to pre-
pare documents and memoranda
for their consideration.

Byrnes, Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden and Foreign Commissar

Informants here were inclined
to doubt strongly Paris radio re-
port yesterday that a meeting of
the Big Five-the United States,
Great Britain, Russia, France and
China-would be held Immediately
after the Big Three conference.
For one thing the President intends
to return at once to the United
States to report to Congress.
Secrecy regarding the real de-
velopments at the Big Three con-
ference became more extreme, if
possiblea nd oneo f the few factS
announced today was that the
President had summoned Gen.
Omar Bradley, who after COM
manding the 18th Army Group in
the European war was made chief
of the Veterans Administration.
Bradley was to be here Friday.
AS regards the Presidents pol
icy, it was said that he had adopt
ed one of strictly give and take.
He was said to have made up his
mind before the conference that
the United States could not be All
unqualified universal provider. He
is sympathetic with the needs Of
Europe but believes the United
States economic structure can MOI
be expected to stand too much
further strain without some form
of cooperative compensation.
It was understood that consid.
cradle conference business was
being done at the series of socia
affairs. Luncheons especially give
delegates chance to talk in
formally.
