Less Meat This Winter Bowles Says Shortages Likely
Washington May 11 Economic stabilizer Chester Bowles predicted the nation will have to accept less meat this winter and next spring due to higher grain prices. He noted meat supplies may rise temporarily in summer and fall as livestock move to market while government price ceilings release more foods for starving nations. An 11 percent drop in winter wheat crop estimates limited exports, with a likely 350 million bushels of wheat to be exported next year versus a goal of 425 million.
