Butter Sugar Ration Cuts Considered by OPA
Washington July 14 An eight point cut in butter ration values and a large sugar supply reduction for the last quarter of the year are under consideration. Eugene Brockenbrough of the OPA dairy products branch disclosed a proposal to lower butter to 16 points a pound. The New York Mercantile Exchange butter committee urged the eight point cut to curb spoilage. Civilian sugar supplies in the final quarter could fall 25 percent from the July September allotment. The year’s civilian sugar total is about 5.1 million tons, roughly 3 million short of potential demand, with 2.3 million bought in H1 and 1.38 million allocated for the current quarter.
