Edward Mitchell, 48, an employe

Soldiers Distribute
Bread in Belfast as
DeIiverymen Strike
1900 Refuse to Service
Routes on First Day Of
Brituin's Rotioninq
BY the Associofed Press

LONDON. July % - Army
trucks manned by 200 soldiers
took over the distribution of
bread throughout Belfast today
when 1900 Northern Ireland de-
liverymen refused to service
their routes on the first business
day of bread rationing.
Authorities mustered q trucks in
Belfast, one for each emergency
bread distribution center in the city.
The Bread Servers Association had
rejected a compromise to give the
rationing q trial for a week by a
vote of BIT to 325,
The full effect of the bread de-
livery strike was not expected until
tomorrow or Wednesday,. for house
wives in the city of 100000 were re-
ported to have stocked their shelves
before rationing started yesterday.
Surplus Stocks Unrationed.
Other parts of the six counties OF
Northern Ireland with population
of 1900 600 likewise were threatened
with a bread shortage. Some Subur-
ban bread servers had decided to side
with the Belfast association. Others
decided to work, however. Whether
troops would be used to carry bread
to other parts of the country still
was not decided.
In Edinburgh, Scotland, the city
food officer surprised bakers by al
lowing them to sell surplus stocks
of today's bake without coupons.
The official said the ration holiday
would last only through today, and
emphasized that it was declared to
prevent waste.
In London, another petition urg-
ing cancellation of bread rationing
with the least possible delay was
presented to Parliament. Laborite
T. C. Skefhngton-Lodge called the
petition the same old racket" Sew
eral such petitions were placed be-
fore Parliament last week.
Few Queues Reported.
Ecept in Northern Ireland, bread
rationing was conducted quietly
without incident. Few bread
queues were reported in London or
other cities, perhaps because of
large buying on Saturday when
housewives besieged the bakeries
One London bakery reported that a
dozen clerks in retail stores quit
rather than collect ration coupons
Although rationing became eff
fective yesterday, so few stores were
open that sales were negligible.
Bakers have asserted that the pro-
gram is cumbersome and unwork-
able. Under the system-first bread
Irationing in Britain's history-the
average adult will receive nine
ounces of bread daily, with heavy
workers receiving as much as Is
ounces.

BY lopsided vote of us to
9, the House today passed an
amended version of the Senate
bill charting a l0-year $20,OO0,-
600 program of redeveloping

pected the Senate will reject one
amendment which would limit pub

so-called submerged fifth of the
population, according to net family
income
House approval came after it had

loss would be divided $3.50 by the
District and Federal governments,
and this provision stays in the bill
as it goes back to the Senate.
