Ration Points
Are Reduced
OPA SIoshes
Butter, Pork Cuts

WASHINGTON. Oct. rs -
up - The OPA announced to-
day that ration values on but
ter. margarine, lard, shortening
and oils will be cut four points
a pound next Sunday.
For all of these products the
new value, effective through
Dec. 1, will be eight points a
pound.
Current point costs will be
maintained during the new Pc
Rod for all prime Gust Of beef,
veal and lamb and for lean cuts
of pork. Lower grades Of beef.
veal and lamb will continue
ration-free.
The only meat changes are
reductions Of two to four points
a pound for six fatty pork cuts
and for barbecued pork.
The point reductions for but
ter, margarine and other fats
and oils are possible because of
a much improved supply situa-
ton, said OPA Administrator
Chester Bowles.
There will be about IL per
cent more butter in November
than during this month, chiefly
because of release of 10000, 900
pounds by the army, Bowles
said. Lard supplies are expected
to be up about 80 per cent from
heavier marketing of hogs.
Overall meat supplies next
month viii be about one half OF
one per cent less than in Octo-
Der and therefore X X X do not
permit the end of rationing,"
the OPA chief said.
On a carcass weight basis,
the November beef supply will
be about Is per cent less than
this month, veal will drop off
about 10 per cent and lamb and
mutton around % per cent, ac-
cording to agriculture depart
ment estimates.
The seasonal run of hogs to
market is expected to boost the
pork supply about Al per cent
to counter balance declines in
other kinds of meat.
The domestic supply of beef,
veal and lamb will be down be-
cause of foreign requirements,
said an agriculture department
official.
He said foreign ALLEGATIONS
had not been met in full this
month, and for this reason it
would be necessary to dip deep
err into the November meat sup
ply.
