.20qb Meat Ration Cui
Predicted in Britain
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 16.-The British
meat ration will be cut 20 per cent
within 10'days, Food Industry ex-
perts predicted today.
They blamed the cut on failure
Of Argentina to fulfill her contract
for the delivery Of beef.
The reduction, industry spokes-
men said, would be from 10 pence
to 8 pence C16.5 to 1872 cents) per
person each week.
At current prices. that is just
about enough for one meal. with
perhaps enough for stew or soup
left over.
In addition. each Briton can buy
2. pence (31s cents) worth of
corned beef weekly. Food sources
said this likely would remain in
effect.
The Food Ministry refused to
comment on the reports of reduc-
tions.
Britons went on shopping
spree yesterday at the end Of
almost eight years of clothes
rationing.
This has easily been our big
gest day so far this year." said
one London department store
manager.
Equally brisk trade was reported
in Liverpool, Manchester. Edin-
burgh, Glasgow and Birmingham.

a limited divorce from Robert
Bruce Search, who was arrested
last month at his own request

in Jail, charged with carrying a
deadly weapon. The charge later
was dropped.
Mrs. Search's suit, seeking q
limited divorce on grounds of
cruelty, declared her husband left
with money and property she con-
tended belonged to her.

Search operates two beauty shops
here and that the defendant had
neglected his duty to support her
and their two children. It said
they were married in May, 1899.
Mrs. Search asked the court to
award her custody of the children,
enjoin the defendant from assert
ing any claim to the beauty shops

ing a TO group Air Force
and fixing permanent peacetime
strength of the Army at 837 900.
This measure, coming to the floor
under a rule providing for four

the broad authority granted the
