Three Slices of Bread Now Maximum by U. S. Ruling
The United States Food Administration limits bread portions to two slices per meal with a four ounce allowance for corn or bran breads. Bridgeport bakers say two to three slices may be used in homes or eateries under the ruling. The edict aims to curb domestic bread portions though hotels and public dining rooms face less impact. Washington reports discuss moving American battalions through British training to front lines in Flanders amid shipping and manpower constraints. Secretary Baker declines to comment on troop movements or training plans.
