To Be Valid Sept. /;
Edible Oil Quota Up

The ONCE of Price Administra-
ton is validating five more red
stamps for use beginning Septem-
ber l, and with promise of lower
ration point values on meat cuts
next month, consumers will find
their ration budgets eased.
Stamps LII, MI, NJ. P-l and
al in ration book will be good
for a four-month period for pur-
chase of meats, fats, canned fish
and dairy products. Stamps o.

Meanwhile, the Agriculture De-
partment announced an emergency
quota of 11,000.0 900 pounds of edible
oils for manufacture of household
sizes of shortening and cooking and
salad oils.
The department said this would
relieve short supplies of these COM
modities in scattered local areas.
Manufacturers have been under
quota basis in producing edible
oils for civilians, and by the new
action their quotas will be increased
2 per cent.
In a radio address last night
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
forecast early improvement in
civilian supplies of meats, fats and
oils, but he said it was TOO early
to say when they may be removed
from rationing
He said it should be possible to
end the rationing of evaporateo
milk soon and that large quantities
of butter and cheese should be
available soon.
The secretary also called on farm
ers to carry through their l945
