Suspension Of Pork Ration Urged By Senate Group
A congressional group led by Senator Reed proposes a temporary suspension of pork rationing for about 10 days to two weeks to allow housewives to buy surplus. The plan aims to drain glut at packing houses, prevent waste, and follows an inadequate five point per person pork ration bonus. Backed by Capper and Gillette, decision to suspend would lie with rationing agencies. The five pant plan announced by OPA will be held for sale until January 2.
