Food Shortages Persist As Army Lets Beef Piles Up
An Associated Press survey shows the Army cuts back beef orders for the next 60 days and sets aside larger shares of choice and cutter grades. The move aims to divert meat to federally inspected plants and ease shortages in the East. Civilians may gain more Atlantic seaboard poultry and canned fruit, while vegetables drop only 10 to 15 percent. Governors in New York and 13 Northeastern states call for red meat points and greater focus on the food crisis.
