Beef famine grips Troy as government orders curb supply
A severe beef shortage hits Troy with packers and retailers unable to meet daily demand. Government requisition directs 45 percent of fat cattle and 80 percent of lean cattle to the armed forces, reducing civilian beef to about 38 percent of normal. Pack houses deliver roughly 25 percent of quota this week, with even lower figures next week and unclear prospects after that. Some hope for lamb and pork to fill gaps but fear general meat scarcity grows.

A British embassy source said the entire Turkish Syrian frontier was closed with guards to shield troop movements. The border closure began at 6 am Tuesday and includes Latakia. The Taurus express later crossed out of Turkey, while officials are unsure if inbound trains crossed. The move aims to block Axis reporting and may reflect Allied plans in the Near East.
