Whiskey Industry Pledges Cut Grain Use. In Half

half of the whiskey industry to cut its grain consumption 50 per cent, president Truman's Citizens Food Committee today tackled the nations brewers for a similar concession to Western Europe's distress.
 The Distilled Spirits Institute, after a long session with commit tee chairman Charles Luckman | and his aides, voluntarily agreed to stop using wheat and cut the use of corn, barley and rye by 50, percent. Luckman said the institute represents 60 percent of the industry.
 He predicted the remaining 40 percent would follow suit, while an institute spokesman said that enough whiskey is now on hand to maintain steady flow to the market" of good whiskey despite curtalled operations.
 But Publicker Industries, Inc. said the cut doesn't do enough and offered to do more The big beverage and alcohol firm tolo Luckman its companies "stano ready to join immediately in dis. continuing all use of grain of any kind in the manufacture of dis titled spirits" whenever the gov ernment requests.
 The agreement with the distil leries, announced by Luckman a the White House, was the com mittee'S first major move in sup port of MT. Truman's voluntary "self-rationing" plan designed tt save l00,000,000 bushels of grair to help feed Western Europe. Thi! is the margin of difference bet ween this areas estimated need 57O,OOO,OO0 bushels-and the sup. plies available.
 Luckman estimated that the emergency will last anywhere from to 10 months.
 :, Adoption of the plan by al distillers would mean ins of 2,500,000 bushels of grain ; month," Luckman said. This would be mostly corn. An institute spokesman said some wheat i! used to flavor rye whiskey, bu a Publicker official said distiller: "do not use any wheat" excep' in emergencies.
 Late this week, it was learned the F o o d Committee will meet here with spokesmen for the res taurant industry whose leaders will be attending a convention ir San Francisco in the first part oi the week.
 Robrt J. Wilson, executive sec retary of the National Restaurant Association, which already has be- gun a food saving campaign, told a reporter that unless the volun- tary conservation drive is success full "I am afraid we will be con fronted with price regulation and rationing"
 The committees activities also were being focused on president 1 Truman's broadcast to the nation in support of the voluntary drive to "buy wisely, eat sensibly, waste nothing

200 PENNY METERS
NOW BEING PLACED
IS Percent Now I'm Opera
ton; Revenue To City
Will Remain About Same
AS Now

City Manager Jack Ellingson
this morning announced that
about IS per cent of the null
itiple-penny parking meters have
been installed.
There will be 200 meters to in
stall in place of the present
nickel meters.
Ellingson was asked this
morning whether the new meters
would bring less revenue than
the nickel meters had accom-
plished.
I The City Manager said that he
was told that the revenue to the
city would remain about the
same as now. Ellingson added
that cities throughout the Unit
ed States are today unable to
sell the public on the nickel
meters.
The public demands multiple
penny machines, said Ellingson.
Ellingson explained that the
installation of the meters is not
for revenue purposes, but rath-
.er to regulate parking space.
What revenue that does come in,
should be for operation of the
system.
Ellingson concluded that to in
stall meters solely for revenue
purposes would be unconstitu-
tional.
The new meters allow twelve
minutes parking for each penny
inserted in the multiple-penny
meter. 1t is against the law to
park more than one hour at a
time in each meter parking
zone.
