SUPPLY OF MEAT !.
WILL DROP SOME

WASHINGTON, Oct. III R -
Americans bought more meat I'M
der the recently liberalized ration
ing program than had been ex-
pected. so the government went
back to mandatory acquisitions to-
day to get meat for shipment to
Britain, France and other coun-
tries. 'r$
The net effect is expected to be
a little less meat for the average
domestic consumer than he has
been buying since Oct. l, but Off
Gals say he still should get the
amount they figured for him in
the first place-a consumption rate
of 148 pounds per year for the last
quarter of 1915.
What the government wants is
500, 900, 600 to 600, 900, 900 pounds for
foreign consumption, which comes
out to a little over a pound per
month per American.
Average consumption of about
l pounds of meat last year set
an American record. Short sup
plies and military and foreign
needs cut the civilian ALLEGATION in
the summer Of 1945 to rate of
about lis pounds year.
