OPA To Cut A Week Off Next Coffee Rationing Period
Washington, (INS)—Federal Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown boosted the nation's coffee rations yesterday 16 per cent by announcing that the next coffee period would be cut from six to five weeks.
Stamp No. 26 from War Ration Book 1, will purchase one pound of coffee between March 22 and April 25, the OPA said yesterday. Prior to this time, one stamp had to last six weeks.
"Coffee imports for February have exceeded estimates by more than 20 per cent, adding substantial amounts to previously depleted January inventorys of approximately 145-000,000 pounds." Brown explained in announcing the increase.
[The Price Administrator declared that the more liberal ration "exemplifies one of the basic principles of OPA policy—that of relaxing rationing restrictions wherever and just as soon as circumstances permit."]

London, (INS)—Listed last week among the fatalities of London's subway disaster in which 178 persons lost their lives was Dick Corbett, former bantamweight boxing champion of England.

Meat To Be Rationed Beginning March 28
Washington, (INS)—Rationing of meat—with each consumer getting 2 pounds per week "more or less" and rationing of cheese, butter, edible fats and oils, and canned fish, will begin at midnight March 28, the OPA announced today.
The red coupon of ration book two will be used by some 30,000,000 housewives in a long-expected ration program and the coupons will be interchangeable among the various products rationed. Thus a consumer may use his entire weekly ration upon meat or any other of the newly rationed commodities. Ration coupons will not be required for dining out, but supplies of the rationed foods in restaurants and hotels will be reduced about the same percentage as in private homes.

SHE'S A SENSATION
Chicago, (INS)—Another stronghold of men fell to the onrushing tide of woman power today as the Illinois Central Railroad installed two women as "flagmen" on suburban runs out of Chicago.
The female station callers and ticket punchers, both of Chicago, are Miss Marie Vonascho and Miss Marjorie Hickey. They had several day's tutelage under the guidance of veteran trainmen.
"The first time I called stations, everyone almost jumped out of their seats. But now they're getting used to hearing a woman's voice. We are doing a man's job."
Washington, (INS)—Maxim Litvinov, Russian ambassador to the United States, yesterday told United Nations diplomats gathered in Washington to observe the second anniversary of Lend-lease that the Soviet people were "fully aware of" and "deeply appreciated" the aid being furnished by this country to his homeland.
Said Miss Hickey;
Litvinov Says Russians Fully Aware of US Aid
He was a former resident of Jolliffe hall and graduated from the school of business in the spring of 1942.
Thus, the ranking spokesma this country, used the occasion to answer the criticism of the Soviet Union voiced in Moscow by Admiral William Standley, the American ambassador. Standley charged the Soviet Union with failure to tell its people of the full extent of help being furnished by the United States.

Roosevelt Speaks to Diplomats
President Roosevelt, in a message to the meeting staged to celebrate the second anniversary of lend-lease, said that promises by the United States to become the arsenal of democracy "have stood the test of time" and "given the lie" to claims of Germany and Japan that the present conflict would be a short, single front war.
Mr. Roosevelt said that American lend-lease and reciprocal aid from other nations "will contribute increasingly to the inevitable defeat of the Axis" and help to "forge the unity that will be required to make a just and lasting peace."
Litvinov said that one Russian flying squadron equipped with the vaunted Airacobras had shot down

43 German planes with a loss of only three of its own aircraft. He also said that American B-25 bombers executed 380 combat flights without a single loss.
Diplomats of other Allied nations, including Dr. T. V. Soong, Chinese minister of foreign affairs, and Lord Halifax, the British ambassador to the United States, also gave brief talks at the meeting. Vice-President Wallace and Mr. Stettinius responded.
Dr. Soong pleaded for more aid to China. Then while Litvinov listened, the Chinese minister said that it was less difficult to get supplies into China than it was to move them to Russia over the Murmansk route across the North Atlantic.
China Asks For More Aid
"I would be less than frank if I say that China is satisfied with the amount of aid she has received from lend-lease," he stated.
"By normal peacetime standards, the India-China air route of course has its difficulties; but these difficulties are only a fraction of those met in maintaining the equally vital supply line to Murmansk.
