Anderson urges fixed food quotas to curb civilian shortages
Congressman Anderson proposes three month fixed quotas for all agencies including the army to prevent raids on civilian cupboards. He urges a clear allocation among OPA, the army, and overseas programs and notes current quarterly allotments are too flexible, causing civilian shortages as the army sometimes consumes more sugar and raises lard set asides. He spoke as the House food committee opens hearings on scarce dairy products and plans cross country touring to study butter milk and cheese. President Truman notes civilian canned fruits and vegetables at wartime lows, calling for production and conservation as a wartime contribution to victory.
