without meat. Some 1000 Kosher
shops planned to close the rest OF
the week because Of short supplies
and a two-day Jewish holiday.
The Office Of Price Adminstra-
ton, in another move to lessen
the bread shortage, said it was
considering a sharp cut on sugar
anotments to bakeries to prevent
bakers from turning out higher
priced pasteries instead of bread.
Farmers Hold Wheat
Millers attending a convention
in Chicago predicted that farmers
would hold back at least half OF
the new wheat crop because Of
uncertainty over government pro-
grams and price ceilings. At
Rugby, N. D., 200 farmers de-
clared a marketing strike il de-
mand for industrial peace and said
they would withhold their crops
until industrial production is re-
sumed in full.
In Chicago, center of the worlds
largest stock yards, meat supplies
were becoming scarce, allegedly
due to black market shipments to
eastern areas. The city's 300
bakeries had only enough flour
for two to three weeks after
which they will be forced to close
unless relief comes.
Reports BY Cities
The Chicago OPA office said
Tuesday that the critical meat
shortage "has been somewhat i'm
proved by the recent slaughter
control order Gin spite of terrific
obstacles"
City-by-city reports from across
the nation included:
Philadelphia - Butchers report
ed steaks, chops and ham almost
nonresident, with shortages worse
than those of wartime. Delivery
delays were attributed to the gail
strike and some relief was ex-
pected later this week.
Los Angeles - More than 60 per
cent of Southern California meat
markets closed Monday, but slight
improvement anticipated with nor
NAL livestock arrivals this week.
Bread supplies generally short.
Boston - Bread supplies dimi-
nishing rapidly and many stores
throughout Massachusetts selling
half loaves. Meat has disappeared
from most counters throughout
New England. Spring, Mass, resi-
dents asked to accept shortages
with less hysteria."
San Francisco - Beef and pork
scarce but supplies of lamb fair.
Bread supplies short, and both
meat and bread usually sold out
by noon.
Washington - Meat more scarce
in the nations capital than at any
time since April, 1915, which was
the worst wartime month for
meat. Bread generally rationed
to n loaf per customer and the
supply appeared adequate for
that amount. However, bakers
threatened a strike for more flour.
Detroit - Bakers stock dWind-
ling rapidly. One baker said he
used five times more flour than
he received last week. A survey
showed bakers had about two to
three weeks supply of flour on
hand.
Seattle Meat shops expected
to ask Monday closings. Bread
supplies short and usually sold out
by noon.

In the fight for all-high first-base
honors this spring, Nick Chanaka
of Western and Bobby Rohr of
Coolidge, are running true to form
and making a battle of it right at
the start. In last weeks opening
games these two shared the hit
ting spotlight, while most of the
other players were having trouble
at the plate against the good pitch
ing offered this year.
So far the moundsmen are ahead
of the batters as shown by two
three-hit and two four-hit games.
Tight hurting didn't bother Rohr,
however. He teed off for two homers
and double to drive in four mark
ers in Coolidge's losing effort
against Western. Chanaka couldn't
match that effort, but he did COL
lect double and a single. Both were
timely, one starting the rally that
gave Western eight runs in one
inning.
Afield Chanaka probably is the
cream of the crop among several
good defensive frst-sackers. He's a
tall, rangy boy, who covers lot of
ground. His height makes him an
excellent target.
Another boy whose early season
play makes him a candidate for
all-high honors Is Catcher Sal De
Giorgi at Eastern. He's going to
make it tough for Stan King of
Coolidge, who generally was con-
sidered tops around Washington
last season. Sal has experience and
enough weight to be a good hitter.
He collected two singles in East
ern's opening game against Roose-
welt and figures to continue at that
pace. He handles the pitchers well
has a strong arm and plenty of
moxie. Any boy who wants to slide
into hcme with spikes unfurled will
