Hoover Plans Voluntary Rationing Amid Grim 1947 Harvest Outlook
President Hoover outlines a voluntary food rationing plan as he warns that the 1947 harvest could be as poor as 1945 with widespread hunger risks. He cites a potential 32,000,000 ton drop in coarse grains and a wheat-rye gain that still leaves a large shortfall. Norma Dodd warns a new Dust Bowl would be catastrophic, while official data suggest fats and oils production may hit a peacetime high of 9.5 billion pounds.

Urgent talks with Soviet authorities aim to ease debt to avoid further movement curtailment of commodities.
