The Associated Press report notes bread and meat remain scarce during wartime with shortages likely to continue through July. Economic Stabilizer Chester Bowles predicts more meat after July 1 regardless of price ceiling decisions, while bread should ease within thirty days. Commerce supports that some shortages stem from shippers delaying livestock awaiting post June 30 price controls. The Millers' National Federation echoes Bowles' outlook.
