Small nations won two clear advances at the world security conference in San Francisco, diminishing big power veto influence.

A separate note reports ongoing U.S. food rationing plans through 1946, with OPA controls extended, and enforcement focus on meat markets and federally inspected slaughterhouses amid wartime shortages.
