Washington UPI reports the War Department will serve turkey with fixings to every American soldier on Thanksgiving, at home and abroad, while ensuring civilians get their holiday bird. The Army has secured 1,000,000 pounds of turkey and the War Food Administration will restrict sales until military needs are met. 1944 slaughter is projected at 480,000,000 pounds, 14,000,000 more than last year. Turkey is being canned in 12 ounce portions for shipment to American POWs in Germany via the Red Cross, with possible aid to POWs in Japanese camps, though Japan has not signed the Geneva convention.
