On Meat Next Month;
End Of Controls Seen
Anderson Announces
Suspension of Set-Aside
Orders on Beef, Veal, Ham
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.


The Office of Price Admins
tration is planning reduction in
point values of a number of meat
cuts in September, paving the
way for the end of meat and
butter rationing some time this
fall.
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son, who predicts an early end
to meat rationing, yesterday an
nounced the suspension of set-aside
orders on beef. veal and pork hams
From now on, the Government
will buy meat supplies for the armed
services and relief purposes on the
open market. There are three ex-
ceptions, however. The Government
will continue to require packers to
set aside quantities of pork shoul-
ders and loins and lard, because
these commodities continue scarce
r. Army Reduces Orders.
Set-aside orders, first used for
meats last year, gave the Govern
ment priority over civilian buyers.
For several months, percentages of
meat that packers were required to
earmark for the military have been
pared.
Since the end of the war, Army
food buying has been cut 20 per
cent and another decrease is PLAN
ned at the end of the year. This,
coupled with a seasonal increase in
livestock marketings beginning next
month, leads food officials in the
Agriculture Department to believe
that the days of meat rationing are
numbered.
It also was learned that OPA
is going ahead with the printing
OF September point charts. As now
drawn up, civilians will find their
ration points will buy more meat,
starting September 2.

CHUNGKING, Aug. 18.-Ten-
sion between the Central Gov
ernment and the Chinese Com
munists eased today as prepa-
rations were completed for the
surrender of all japanese forces
in China on Tuesday.
After two days of apparent de-
f1ance of Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek's government, Communist
Leader Gen. Mao Tze-Tung was re-
proted to have agreed to send a rep
resentative to Chungking to discuss
outstanding issues with Gen.
Chang.
The overall surrender of japanese
forces in China was scheduled to
take place at Chihkiang in Human
Province. Gen. Ho Ying-chin, Chi
nese field commander, was prepar-
ing to leave Chungking to receive
the capitulation from ENJOYS of 1t.
Gen. Yasuji Okamura, commander
in chief of japanese expeditionary
forces in China.
Meeting Delayed For Day.
The surrender meeting originally
was planned for Monday, but the
japanese were given an extra day.
If arrangements can be made for
Gen. Okamura to follow his ENJOYS
within 48 hours to sign formal sur
render, Gen.. Ho will remain at
Chihkiang, former American air
base, it was stated. Otherwise. Gen.
Ho will return to Chungking and
Okamura may be directed here.
The entry of Chinese troops into
the great industrial metropolis of
Canton and the surrender of Japa-
nese forces in South China also was
delayed.
CA japanese Domei agency dis
patch said that underground
forces of the Chinese govern
ment had taken over in Shang-
hal. In London British For
eign Office spokesman said $500
interned Allied nationals, includ-
ing $50 Americans, had been lib
Grated by the Japanese in Shang-
hal. The information came
through the Swiss government.)
Flight of Troops Abandoned.
Crack trained troops of
the Chinese 1st Army, veteran
force which fought in Burma, were
originally scheduled to be flown into
Canton by American planes today
and to accept the surrender of Japa-
nese forces in South China tomor-
row.
1t was announced, however, that
no Chinese troops would be flown
into any occupied area until all
japanese forces in the vicinity had
been disarmed.
Consequently, the 1st Army, which
had not seen action since it was
flown into China from Burma to
take part in planned Chinese
counter offensive, will march on
Canton and may arrive there sew

Terminated Aid
BY the Associated Press.

~ t'ic ASaoCidLeu fEtSS
Allied nations receiving lease
lend assistance will get notice
tomorrow or Tuesday that the
program has been terminated, it
was learned last night.
The system which poured s39,-
900 100000 of war goods and civilian
necessities into countries fighting
the~Axis is being shut down on order
OF President Truman. The lease
lend law authorized the President
to terminate the program at the
wars end.
The action was decided on at a
White House conference Friday at
tended by Leo T. Crowley, foreign
economic administrator; Secretary
of State Byrnes; Secretary of the
Treasury Vinson and other top pol
icy officials.
Letters to Advise Nations.
1t is understood that letters of
notification, drafted by FEA, will
advise purchasing representatives OF
the affected countries to propose i'm
mediately some other basis on
which they would like to receive
civilian goods that up to this time
they have obtained under Lease.
| Lend.
The principal countries affected
are Belgium, the Netherlands,
France, Britain, Russia and China.
Each involves special problems and
individual settlements will have to
be made.
Russia, for example, never signed
any special agreement for continu-
ing postwar acquisition of heavy in
dustrial equipment originally Or
dered under lease-lend, it was
learned. Conferences to work out
such an agreement lasted for sew
eral months but never were entirely
successful.

verse lease-lend supplies and serv-
ices for troops being moved out of
Europe than the United States is
furnishing them.
China is understood to have been
seeking continued postwar flow
of arms and other military equip
ment to build up the forces of the
central government in anticipation
of possible trouble with the North
China Communist armies.
Authorities were uncertain last
night on what basis countries losing
lease-lend assistance would be able
to continue getting the goods they
require and whose shipment from
this country would enable factories
to continue production. But pre-
sumably in most cases credits may
be obtained from the Export Import
Bank
Bank Capital Increased.
Shortly before it recessed. Con-
gress increased the banks capital
from s70o,o0o,00o to $500 600, 900.
About $1,000, 10000 of the increase
was reported slated for Russia.
i The Foreign Economic Admins
tration which has operated the
lease-lend program is expected to
carry it through the period of liaui-
dation. Thus FEA is due to con.
tinue operating for many months
not only for that reason, but also
because it is handling procurement
in this country for the United Ma
tions Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-
ministration and is administering a
special Italian supply program.
