Meat Shortage Deepens Across The Nation In Wartime Era
The Associated Press reports a sharp decline in fresh meat supplies due to wartime rationing and low slaughtering rates. Big packers cut back operations as urban areas face closures and scarce fowl or fish remain the main option for many customers. Economic Stabilizer Chester Bowles predicts more meat after July 1, but warns supplies will dwindle again by late fall due to grain shortages. Bowles cautions prices may rise if ceilings are removed, while bread supplies should ease in about 30 days with a strong winter wheat harvest expected to boost flour production.
