Return To Rationing Believed Unnecessary
Truman said a wartime food rationing return would not be needed but he would not object if essential. An Agriculture Department survey shows livestock meat milk and poultry output may dip for 15 months, yet not trigger rationing. Grain supplies and bread could rebound with a bumper wheat crop possibly ending the wheat conservation program by late summer. Food fats and oils may remain short for another year, with soybeans and flaxseed plantings below goals.
