PUBLIC Will GET
MORE BEEF AUG. |

WASHINGTON, July Is. - R -
Slightly more beef for civilians in
August was assured today with an
nouncement that the armed forces
will not raise their requirements.
The volume of slaughterings is
now exceeding estimates ~ mar
gin wide enough so that armed
forces, while continuing to reserve
the same amount of beef, can re-
duce their percentage of that total
supply. This leaves proportion
ately larger share for civilians.
The armed forces which, until
July l, took half of all federally
inspected choice, good and COM
mercial grade beef, will take only
20 per cent starting July 20. This
follows earlier reductions to 30 and
then Is per cent.
The military set-aside OF utility,
Gamer, and cutter grades, form
erly 30 per cent, will drop form
the present IS to SIS per cent at the
same time.
Food officials said that if the
armed forces had continued to take
the high percentages, they would
have had a surplus. Civilians, Wno
have been getting less than the
l25 pounds of meat theoretically
allocated to them, now should be
able to buy more nearly the
amount they should be getting.
This is due also to the govern
ment's recent action in hating the
set-aside on lamb, and reducing
the share of pork and veal ear
marked for government agencies.
These cuts were made possible in
part by suspension of lend-lease
shipments of meat.
In line with the improved eivili-
an outlook, OPA next week will
make slight reduction in point
values of beef, lamb, and veal.
Army purchases are expected to
rise again in September as more
troops are moved to the Pacific
and also because it is government
policy to buy less during seasonal.
