Washington June 15 The war food administration prepared a new survey of the national food situation expected to be the most pessimistic yet issued. It cites flood damage in the Middle West and Northwest and dry weather on the plains, with meat slaughter and dairy output below forecasts and crop prospects the worst in three years. Officials warn by next winter consumers may ask can I get an egg rather than what is the price. Price Administrator Prentiss Brown returns from vacation to meet 50 wholesalers and retailers at a two day conference on ceiling prices subsidies and other OPA policies. Congressmen push for changes in policy including moving food price powers to the War Food Administration and giving Davis authority to set prices and allocations.
