Sharp Reduction in Whisky Production Amid Famine Efforts
Whisky-makers cut output by about 40 percent as the government intensifies grain relief measures. The move, the sharpest since wartime distilling resumed, comes with a warning that the world food crisis will persist into 1947. An industry spokesman in New York sees no immediate liquor shortage, while the famine committee urges a proactive food management program to prevent mass hunger this coming winter. The Agriculture Department weighs a plan to buy 400 million bushels of 1946 wheat to stockpile for export needs until the 1947 harvest, aiming to prevent shortages this summer and avoid exposure to foreign commitments.
