Limit On Flour For Bakers And Grocers
Washington officials drafted a flour ration order to curb domestic use by bakers and grocers while not targeting housewives, aiming to cut consumption by 25 percent over 143 to 734 days to meet foreign commitments. Secretary Anderson said a decision would come tomorrow as millers and bakers protested. Officials suggested a base-period cap of 7 percent of flour distributed in a prior period, sparking opposition from industry leaders and a Republican critic. President Truman conferred with stabilization officials on grain export effects, amid forecasts of possible wheat price changes and a looming flour shortage.
