Little Hope For Quick Improvement In Food Situation
The agriculture department projected little chance for early relief in the national food outlook. Civilian supplies of meats fats oils rice sugar and sweet bakery goods will be much shorter this summer than last while fresh vegetables fruits most cereals and skim milk likely meet demand. Egg supplies should be near last summer though below peak needs amid heat and poultry shortages. The final government food summary under Secretary Claude R Wichard and War Food Administrator Marvin Jones noted possible improvements from programs but predicted civilian meat supplies stay very low through summer and early fall with small gains later in the year.
